The Rap Sheet - from the Crimefighter
Capital City Championship Wrestling
5/1/2K4 - Springfield, IL

Decided to give them a second chance...

This rap sheet is posted in news:rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info a
newsgroup many wrestling organizations could utilize to promote their
shows worldwide but don't, and the archive of all previous rap sheets
at the Rap Sheet Dossier are in http://rap-sheet.tripod.com.

Okay, I'm quite late with this considering that this is a short show. 
Been a tough week at work where it's been not much activity then five
people get hit with the latest in viruses and spyware and the tools
you're using aren't getting rid of them cause they're new creations. 
Oh yeah, seems a strike could be looming too out there, and thus I
won't get to buy a house this year.

I watched the first CCCW show on videotape from someone who was given
permission to camcord the event last week.  Since I got to watch the
first show for free, it's only fair that I attended a show in person. 
I made ANOTHER attempt to find the place, and this time I found it,
only because they had big poster in the window that I had to have
missed last time.  Oh yeah, the building is FOR SALE too.  Attendance
this week was somewhere between 60-70, I counted the numbers before
the show started, seemed a couple more people came in after the show
began.  There were a total of 120 chairs set up.  Last week they
claimed the show was a sellout, it's just that half the people who
bought tickets didn't show up.  I don't buy that.  If it was a
sellout, there would have been 120 fans inside the building or at
least sold 120 tickets.  Yet they put the sellout claim in their
program anyway.  It's just BS that isn't true, and more pathetic when
the target number is real low to begin with.

Two people who tried to attend the show were turned away due to last
year's incident, referenced in the 4/17/2K4 rap sheet.  The fed owner
did not trust that one of the two who was involved in that near gang
fight wouldn't cause a major disruption if any of their wrestlers did
a certain move in the ring during the show.  I thought it was
childish, but since I wasn't there to see what exactly transpired, I
don't really know.  The scars from that incident are still running
very deep, to the point there's a list of who's welcome and who isn't,
at least until they can get together at a neutral location to settle
their issues.

Live from the nameless building at 1300 N. 19th Street.  The ring
announcer is still unknown and unseen.

The three Irishmen come out first, those being Seamous & Mickey the
McNelson Bros. with manager Patrick MuGroin.  Sheesh, with a name like
MuGroin I can see what this guy has such a bad attitude.  MuGroin runs
his mouth saying we all get in for free cause we're a bunch of
freeloaders.  He's demanding respect for his tag team.  He passes the
mike to Mickey.  Mickey runs his mouth about the opposition from two
weeks ago and how he gave him an Irish arsekicking.  He's gonna fight
Justin Blade this week, the hardcore match didn't impress him so he's
gonna kick him in the butt.  He passes the mike to Seamous, the
"strongest" man in Ireland.  He runs his mouth about his last match
being a big waste of time.  He's gonna wrestle Billy Reno. He runs his
mouth some more, bashing Reno and I finally give them the USA chant as
they leave.

Kandi Deluxe 5'11" 150lbs. Jolly Ranch, Atlanta, GA vs. Chuck Diamond
5'8" 172lbs. Deep Side of the Dark Side - Kandi hands out candy of
course.  Lockup, slap Chuck, headlock takedown.  Slap Kandi, hip toss,
drop kick out.  Kandi wanders over and gets neck snapped from the
outside, hammerlocks get traded, drop toe hold Chuck, shoveoff, Kandi
with a sloppy hip toss.  Whip inverted atomic drop, slam Kandi.  Whip
big boot Kandi gets two.  LOW BLOW Chuck, choke.  Chuck kicks away in
the corner, Kandi flips him around and kicks away.  Whip Kandi, corner
splash misses and he nearly sails over the top.  Chuck whip rolling
clothesline, bulldog gets two.  Backbreaker Chuck gets two.  Running
elbow Chuck, Boston Crab.  Nemesis comes out.  Rock bottom Chuck gets
two.  Rear chinlock Chuck, Kandi elbows out, flying clothesline Kandi.
 Russian leg sweep without hooking the leg gets two, bulldog gets two.
 Kandi gets in the face of Nemesis, he slugs him.  Chuck with the 619
gets two.  Nemesis tries to powder Kandi and misses, KICK WHAM STUNNER
gets Kandi the pin.  Kandi needs to relearn how to do a hip toss, or
else he's trying too hard not to clip the ceiling.  This match was
okay.

WINNER:  Kandi Deluxe pin -> 8 mins. **½

The next match was supposed to be Sam Stockwell versus "The Prowler"
but Stockwell is a no-show and stuffing his face at the Olive Garden. 
The Prowler is 5'6" 130lbs. from the darkness of night.  Besides being
dressed like a goof wearing a black cape and mask, he talks goofy with
"It feels good to hunt" written on his shirt.  His music doesn't fit
him though, it's not a song I'd associate with bulgarly.  He issues an
open challenge for another opponent since Stockwell ain't here.  Out
come Nemesis and Leo Lagossi and they proceed to beat him with
applying the crippler crossface and the sharpshooter then dump him
outside.  BTW, THEIR music doesn't relate to heelish characters
either!  Uh yeah.  Nemesis has the mike, he taunts him then throws him
back in the ring to beat him some more, pulls the shirt up for Leo to
chop him then dumps him out.  Those two trash the "stupid" crowd, and
trash the dumb tennis player who messed up moves badly last week.  Now
he invokes religion into this, cause it's so stupid I'm not gonna
reprint this crap, but it's obvious Leo Lagossi still have the ideas
of the cult of RON in him or something and Nemesis is spewing the same
BS.  Then Nemesis says he renounces his citizenship along with the
chef.  Uh nice.

Billy Reno 5'4" 154lbs. Reno, NV w/ April Casino & Mindy Vegas vs.
Seamous McNelson (O'Malley?) 6'3" 275lbs. Belfast, Ireland w/ Pat
McGroin & Mickey McNelson - Well the program says McNelson, but the
ring announcer says O'Malley.  Okay, whatever.  NOW we hear a bell! 
Shameous is billed at 375lbs, but I think it's 275 really.  And this
is a big mismatch.  Slap Seamous, hammerlock, headlock Reno, side
suplex Shameous.  Turnbuckle smash Shameous, whip corner, splash
misses.  Reno chops away, he charges with a back splash, crossbody is
caught.  Seamous with a slam, legdrop gets two.  Facebreaker Seamous,
they go outside, back ram into the post, bearhug into the post, toss
in.  Reno tries to beat him back, clip, drop kick of the knee, figure
four attempt blocked.  Chokeslam Seamous who drops him on his side,
one foot cover gets two.  Whip crash by Seamous, teases the stinkface
but just farts on him instead.  He chops away, choke, whip Bubba slam
wins it.  They were smart not letting the match run as long as last
week against his tag partner.  Nothing special though.

WINNER:  Seamous McNelson pin -> 9:30 mins. **

They then bring out "America's favorite superhero" Chip Conway.  Uh,
has America even heard of this guy?  Conway then starts talking about
his opponents later tonight, which are the chef and Nemesis.  He says
after the show last week, they jumped Ace Dorrity and broke his arms,
his legs, his spine and ended his tennis and wrestling careers. 
Ooookay.  This is nonsense.  The 3CW board says no table match
tonight, but Conway says he's gonna do the table match anyway in a
handicap match.  He says the red, white and blue is coming for you. 
Time out.  We know Ace Dorrity did a horrible job last week, so you'd
think he's been pulled for some retraining but that isn't the reason
why.  Turns out Dorrity was arrested for going AWOL and was sent to
California to face charges.  To patch up this show with the holes left
open by these factors what they should had done is change the main
event to a one-on-one and put the other guy in a squash match against
Prowler since Stockwell didn't show up.  But they didn't do that, so
we're stuck with a damaged main event and one match less than
promised.

Vampire Kaval 5'10" 150lbs. Death Valley, CA vs. Tommy the Machine Gun
6'3" 215lbs. Detroit, MI - Sheesh, this vampire is creepy, but he's no
Gangrel.  Kaval shoulderblocks in the corner, he slugs away.  Kaval
with a tornado DDT, splash gets two.  Tommy slugs away, knee to the
gut, elbow, chop, whip Kaval hits a flying shoulderblock.  Crossbody
attempt is caught, Kaval manages to slip out, shining wizard.  Tommy
with a back body drop that Kaval scrapes the ceiling with his shoes. 
Ah, that low ceiling.  Double chokeslam Tommy gets two.  Clothesline
Kaval, elbow on the apron, they're outside!  Tommy with a DDT on the
floor, apron slams, toss in, pumphandle slam, ROCK BOTTOM gets three! 
See maybe they just need to keep the matches at a shorter length in
the early going so they don't embarass themselves or bore everyone
when it goes too long.  *shrug*

WINNER:  Tommy the Machine Gun pin -> 4:40 mins. **¼

And they take an intermission, which I have to ask why they even
bother with given that this is only a two hour show and there are only
5-6 matches in all.  Just doesn't seem to be a need for one.  The
Irish tag team does have a name, the Irish Revolution, and they're out
here again.

Mickey McNelson 6'0" 305lbs. Belfast, Ireland w/ Pat McGroin vs.
Justin Blade 5'10" 196lbs. Oceanside, CA - Lockup, shove.  Side suplex
by Mickey, clothesline.  Headlock Blade, shoveoff, flying forearm
Blade.  Kipup, Blade slugs and kicks away, Mick flips him over and
slugs away, whip back body drop Mick, spinebuster.  Mick misses the
legdrop, Blade slugs away.  Mick with a whip clothesline at the waist.
 Whip flying hurraconranna Blade, they go outside, Seamous KOs Blade
and beats him outside while the dumb dimwitt referee yaks with
McGroin.  Toss in, Mick with a second rope fistdrop.  Mick whip, Blade
kicks him, he tries a springboard and SLIPS.  Blade does a legdrop for
two instead.  Kick, flipover bulldog Blade, whip reversed Mick with a
splash and a bulldog.  Mick tosses him, Blade is hangs on the ropes,
pulls himself up and headscissors Mick out.  Blade kicks away, McGroin
is back on the apron, Seamous with a clothesline outside, then they
beat him with a belt.  Geez, this ref's a moron.  Mick yaks with
Seamous until Blade superkicks him.  Mick hammers him, chops away,
whip spinebuster then goes to chat some more before finally covering
for two.  Geez, are you here to wrestle or talk?  Blade tries a
superkick and misses, Mick misses the clothesline, superkick Blade
hits the mark and end it.  Too much interference in this one.

WINNER:  Justin Blade pin -> 11:15 mins. **¾

Handicap Tables Match
Nemesis 6'4" 225lbs. Parts Unknown & former cult member "The Iron
Chef" Leo Lagossi 6'0" 240lbs. Paris, France vs. "Golden
Eagle" Chip
Conway 6'1" 155lbs. USA - Oh great, it's a handicap match.  Takedown,
drop toe hold Chip, hammerlock, sloppy fireman's takeover by Nemesis. 
Armbar Nemesis slap, whip hard slap by Chip and Nemesis leaves.  Drop
kick on the Chef out of the ring, baseball slide drop kick on the duo.
 Chip head slam on the table, Nemesis with a sloppy spinebuster.  Tag
Chef.  Back breaker Chef, snap suplex, here comes the table.  Chef
chops Chip, snap mare.  Reverse standing figure four (maybe Indian
deathlock not sure), tag Nemesis, table is put in the corner.  Nemesis
with a suplex, tag Chef.  Double sloppy chokeslam, shoulder break by
the Chef.  Nemesis wants to powerbomb Conway through the table, the
Prowler comes out to stop it.  Chef is tossed in, double whip Nemesis
hits the Chef by mistake.  The Irishmen then come out and they beat on
Prowler and Conway.  What a mess this has become.  Nemesis and Chef
powerbomb Chip through the table to end it.  Adam Deacon with the
death valley driver on Prowler.  They should had made this a singles
match, and the stupid run-ins did NOTHING for it either.  Sheesh, I
wrote *½ for this, it wasn't.

WINNERS: Nemesis & "Iron Chef" Leo Lagossi KO -> 7 mins. DUD

Kandi Deluxe runs out, KICK WHAM STUNNER on Mickey, but gets thrown
into Seamous for the chokeslam.  Nemesis gets the American flag and
spits and stomps on it.  I try the "you sold out" chant, but not for
the reasons you think.  The Irish Invasion raise their hands with
Nemesis and the Chef to end the show.  Nemesis tries throwing Prowlers
shirt into the crowd and it gets hang on the ceiling fan, haha.  The
ring announcer says to come back for another show in two weeks, that
being the 15th.

The Verdict:  Well I can say the matches were better than the last
show, but that's because they had no where to go but up.  And I talked
a long while with the Chef about it.  He admits they are gonna suck
for the first six shows or so getting better in the ring before they
have their first major show at a different location without the low
ceiling.  Only four average matches, but one crappy main event.

Thumbs down.  I'd rather by watching NMW.
