By ANDY FLORA - Special to The Franklin News-Post
The Ebony Express retained the Universal
Tag Team championship with the help of a loophole in the signed
contract as American Championship Wrestling (ACW) returned to the
National Guard Saturday night.
The loophole was pointed out by Universal Heavyweight Champion The
Legendary Eclipso as Col. Spud Wade and Pvt. Robbie Lynn celebrated
a victory over the titleholders.
This was not the first confrontation Wade and Eclipso had during the
event.
In the match, both teams had moments of greatness, hitting their
signature moves but neither team could secure a pin.
Out of frustration, Lynn finally grabbed Wade's army belt and struck
Wright in the head while referee Ric Petty was distracted.
Then, Wade went for the cover and it appeared the former champions
had recaptured the belts.
As Wade and Lynn were celebrating, Eclipso made his way to the ring
to inform the new champs of some bad news.
"Since the contract was for Scott Weddle and Foxy Roxy for the
belts, this match was not for the championship," Eclipso told Petty.
Ring announcer The Flo, who had already announced Wade and Lynn the
victors, was informed by Petty to announce Wade and Lynn the
winners, but not the champions.
An enraged Wade confronted Flo in the corner of the ring and
demanded Flo to reverse the decision.
Wade was getting ready to strike Flo when Eclipso confronted Wade.
"Hey Wade, why don't you come over here and pick on someone your own
size? Never mind, I will come to you," Eclipso said. Eclipso charged
the ring and Wade quickly retreated.
\Later, Wade challenged Eclipso to a tag-team match on Oct. 3.
Eclipso said he had a partner in mind and would accept the
challenge.
However, Wade quickly interrupted him.
"Wait a minute. Since I am challenging you, I get to pick your
partner. I pick....... The Flo. He has been in my business too much
lately and I want to get him in the ring," Wade said. Flo quickly
entered the ring and wanted nothing to do with a match with Wade.
"I am not a wrestler in ACW and I am not going to be in the match,
"Flo said. Eclipso and Wade both were trying to convince Flo to take
the match without much success. Finally, Wade decided to convince
Flo the hard way by kicking him in the stomach and throwing him to
the mat.
"After what you just did to me, I'll take the match,' Flo said.
This sets up the main event for the Oct. 3 show: Col. Spud Wade and
Pvt. Robbie Lynnversus Eclipso and The Flo.
"In Saturday's main event, Sgt. Jim Nelson defeated Ken Steel in the
Last Man Standing Match. The winner is declared when one of the
combatants is unable to continue, cannot get up by the count of 10
or if his manager or ring side companion throws in the towel.
Douglas J. Wentworth accompanied Steel to the ring and Nelson was
escorted by Hillbilly Helbert. Nelson had Steel in his signature
move, the Cobra Clutch, and Steel was almost out. Wentworth
complained to referee Petty about Helbert interfering in the match.
Petty went to get Helbert back to his corner when Wentworth ran
over, picked up Nelson's towel, and threw it into the ring. Petty
saw a towel in the ring and looked over to Wentworth, who still had
Steel's towel. Petty looked in Nelson's corner and Helbert did not
have a towel for Nelson. As a result, Steel was declared the winner.
Nelson who had the upper hand could not understand why Helbert threw
in the towel and asked Petty to examine the towel in the ring. Upon
further review, the towel had the initials DJW on it and Petty
quickly concluded the towel belonged to Wentworth.
Petty reversed the decision and gave the victory to Nelson.
"Ace England pulled off another upset and defeated Wade for the
television championship. Eclipso interfered in this match too taking
Wade and throwing him into the ringside steps during the match.
Eclipso rolled Wade back into the ring and England pinned him to
capture the gold.
Eclipso's actions added fuel to the fire in the brewing Wade-Eclipso
feud.
"The Golden Boy Tony Wright made his ring debut tagging with
Hillbilly Helbert to defeat The Mask Mauler and Eddie Loco. As Loco
went to load his famous boot with a foreign object, Wright was able
to sneak up from behind Loco and rollhim up for the pin.
"Eclipso defeated Kidd Lightning using Wade's own move the Spud
Cutter.
"Lynn defeated Scott Lee and The Mercenary in a three-way match when
Lynn delivered a spine buster on Mercenary.
ACW, sponsored by We Care of Franklin County, returns to the
National Guard Armory Oct. 3 with an 8:15 bell time.
Advance tickets are available at all usual outlets.

The team of Ken Steel, Col. Spud Wade, and "The Legendary" Eclipso
were victorious against Scott Weddle, Foxy Roxy, and Hillbilly
Helbert Saturday night as American Championship Wrestling (ACW)
returned to the Rocky Mount National Guard Armory.
Rolling Thunder, who accompanied Weddle, Roxy, and Helbert at
ringside, would get five minutes in the ring against Eclipso's
manager, Douglas J. Wentworth, III Esq. if Thunder's team was
victorious.
Thunder wanted revenge against Wentworth because he attacked Roxy at
last month's event and made Foxy eat dog food. During the match,
Thunder continuously tried to get his hands on Wentworth which led
to the all-star's team downfall.
Towards the end of the match, Thunder and Wentworth were exchanging
words when Roxy delivered a top- rope splash outside of the ring
onto Wentworth.Weddle and Steel joined in the melee too. Helbert was
left in the ring with both Eclipso and Wade who proceeded to
double-team him while the referee, Ric Petty, was distracted. Wade
delivered a diamond cutter on Helbert to get the three count.
Eclipso, proud of Wade's accomplishments, demanded a title match for
him against Helbert who is the television champion.
Wrestling legend Sandy Scott, who apparently has been granted
authority from the ACW commissioner, has booked the match for the
next ACW card here June 6.
In other action:
"During an interview segment, Eclipso came out to confront Mr. Jamie
Wright about recent complaints about their championship match last
month. Apparently many ACW fans have filed complaints with the
promotion that Wright should be the champion. Eclipso told the fans
that the decision was accurate and will not be reversed.
Furthermore, Wright will not get a rematch since he had his shot and
failed. Wentworth continued to tell the crowd they need to get over
it when out of nowhere Wright landed a super kick on Eclipso and
leveled the champ. A furious Eclipso and Wentworth left the ring
still claiming that Wright would not get a rematch.
Also during the interview segment, Wentworth continued to challenge
the mayor of Rocky Mount (Steve Angle) to show up at any ACW event
and face him one on one.
"Every event, I leave two free tickets at the door for the mayor of
Rocky Mount to show up and face me. He has yet to take me up on it.
I am ready when he is," Wentworth said.
"The Masked Mauler did not collect the ,000 bounty placed on Sgt.
Jim Nelson by Wade as both competitors were disqualified. Mauler,
who has never been unmasked during competition, even stated before
the match that if he is pinned or submits, he would remove the mask
himself. ACW rules state that if a competitor tries to remove the
hood of a masked wrestler, he can be disqualified.
During the match, Mauler used a variety of foreign objects on
Nelson, who was solely focused of unmasking Mauler. After referee
Petty was thrown out of the ring trying to break up the two, he
called for a double disqualification. This feud will continue at the
next ACW event.
"Wright defeated Robbie Lynn by disqualification when Eclipso
attacked him during the match. Wright had just delivered a super
kick on Lynn when Eclipso and Wentworth broke up the pin attempt.
Wright and Eclipso were exchanging punch after punch when Wright
rolled up Eclipso for an apparent three count delivered by Petty.
Wright showed everyone once again that he has the ability to defeat
Eclipso. This was all Sandy Scott had to see as he made the match
next month.
It's Wright vs. Eclipso for the Universal heavyweight belt which
will also have a stipulation that if Eclipso loses by
disqualification, Wright will win the championship.
"Scott Weddle defeated Eddie Loco by pinfall.
Loco was originally scheduled to take on Big Yella but Yella was
replaced by Weddle when Yella was attacked in the dressing room
prior to the bout by an unknown assailant and injured his shoulder.
Yella accompanied Weddle to ringside and distracted Loco while Loco
was loading his boot to kick Weddle in the head. Instead, Weddle
landed a standing drop kick and pinned Loco.
"Scott Lee defeated Ace England by pinfall.
ACW sponsored by We Care of Rocky Mount returns to the the National
Guard Armory June 6 with an 8:15 p.m. bell time.
Tickets in advance are on sale at Jones Produce, Pizza King, and
Misty Mountain Wares.

Wright shows he has the right stuff
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
By ANDY FLORA - Special to The Franklin News-Post
Mr. Jamie Wright had the right stuff
defeating American Championship Wrestling (ACW) Universal
heavyweight champion "The Legendary" Eclipso in the main event
Saturday night at the Rocky Mount National Guard Armory.
Wright had challenged Eclipso at the last ACW event when Eclipso and
his manager, Douglas J Wentworth, III Esq., hijacked a ring jacket
worn by wrestling legend Johnny Weaver which was being auctioned off
by ACW sponsor We Care.
Eclipso would only give Wright a match if he put up $1,000. Wright,
who did not have the money, was sponsored by We Care.
Before the match started, Eclipso opened a briefcase which contained
the jacket and called on Wright to show him the money.
We Care representatives brought the money to the ring and referee,
Ric Petty, counted the bills to the satisfaction of Eclipso and
company.
Eclipso wanted the money and jacket to be secured in the briefcase.
Against the advice of the fans, Petty placed the money in the case
and Eclispo attempted to take the case and retreat from the ring.
Petty anticipated the move and quickly took the briefcase from the
champion.
"The ACW commissioner has appointed a special guest to be in
possession of the case,' Petty said.
"Who is it? Ken Steele? Eddie Loco?" Eclipso asked.
Wrestling legend Sandy Scott was called to ringside to be in
possession of both the money and jacket during the match.
As the match started, Eclipso took it to the rookie working on first
his leg, then arm, then moving to his mid section.
Wright was taking a pounding, offering little offense. He was
however able to slap a Weaver sleeper hold on the champ that brought
him to his knees.
After Eclipso recovered from the sleeper hold, he continued the
offensive onslaught and went for an apparent easy pin attempt.
The referee counted to three giving the win to Eclipso. Outside of
the ring Santa Claus, who was making a special guest appearance,
placed Wright's foot on the rope. Referee Petty turned around, saw
the foot on the rope, and restarted the match.
The match continued until Wentworth distracted the referee and
Eclipso tossed Wright over the top
rope, an automatic disqualification in ACW bylaws. Since the referee
was distracted, he did not see the infraction.
Wright finally got to the ring apron and tried to enter the ring.
Eclipso stopped the rookie and attempted a power slam from outside
of the ring ropes.
Eclipso held Wright above his head when Wright somehow slid down and
rolled the champ up for a three count to win the match.
The champ and his manager were in disbelief that Wright had won the
match.
Eclipso and Wentworth went outside the ring and went after the
briefcase. After wrestling it away from Sandy Scott, the champ
showed a sense of sportsmanship.
"Wright, I do not know how you did it, but you won. I said if you
won, I would give you the jacket so come on over and I will give it
you," Eclipso said.
The crowd warned Wright not to fall for Eclipso's sudden show of
good sportsmanship, but the rookie went to the outside to accept the
briefcase.
The crowd knew what they were talking about as Eclipso grabbed
Wright and slammed him against the ring post.
As Eclipso and Wentworth exited ring side, Wright finally got to his
feet, thanked the fans for their support, and presented the Weaver
jacket back to Weaver's daughter, Wendy.
Then, Weaver turned over the jacket, along with their $1,000 to "We
Care" and the jacket was raffled off to a lucky fan.
In other matches:
"After many months of chasing the champions, "Team USA" Scott Weddle
and Foxy Roxy defeated "Dirty Deeds" Eddie Loco and Robbie Lynn to
capture the Universal tag team championship.
The two teams went back and forth with the action falling outside of
the ring and a steel chair being involved.
In this No Disqualification match with falls counting anywhere in
the armory, Weddle hit Loco with Loco's own loaded boot rolling him
up for a pin attempt.
Meanwhile, Roxy delivered a five star frog splash on Lynn at the
same time. Both members of "Team USA" went for a pin and both
opponents were counted out for a count of three.
"Big Yella defeated Ken Steel when Yella was tossed out of the ring
over the top rope as he delivered punch after punch on Steel's head
in the corner.
"Sgt. Jim Nelson and Hillbilly Helbert defeated Scotty Blaze and
Col. Spud Wade when Nelson put Blaze to sleep using a cobra clutch.
"Damien James defeated Scott Lee when James delivered a second rope
splash and pinned Lee.
"Col. Spud Wade defeated Ace England using a Death Valley Driver.
ACW will be taking a three- month hiatus and will return sometime in
March.
Nelson retains title
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
By ANDY FLORA - Special to The Frankin News-Post
Sgt. Jim Nelson retained his Universal Heavyweight Championship
overcoming the odds against him as American Championship Wrestling (ACW)
returned to Rocky Mount National Guard Armory. Saturday.
In the main event, Nelson faced Rolling Thunder, who had challenged
Nelson for the title after scoring a recent pinfall victory over the
mat veteran.
The ACW commissioner appointed a special referee for the matchup to
maintain law and order during the bout.
Pro wrestling legend Ricky (The Dragon) Steamboat was first
contacted to referee this important championship match, but previous
commitments kept him from accepting the appointment.
"The Legendary" Eclipso, with some monetary backing from his manager
Douglas J Wentworth, III Esq., convinced the commissioner to allow
his charger to oversee the title match.
"I want you to sit back and learn something," Eclipso told regular
referee, Ric Petty, before the match.
Petty became the referee in charge of any action that spilled
outside of the ring.
The action went back and forth before Wentworth jumped on the ring
apron to complain to referee Eclipso about Nelson's signature cobra
clutch being a choke hold.
Eclipso declared to Nelson to break the hold.
Then, the sergeant used the distraction to whip Thunder into Eclispo
who then hit heads with Wentworth knocking both to the ground.
Nelson took advantage of a dazed Thunder once again slapping the
cobra clutch on the challenger. As Thunder fell to the mat, the
effects of the devastating hold forced his shoulders the mat in a
pinning situation.
Outside referee Petty took charge of the match since guest referee
Eclispo was incapacitated counting to three giving Nelson the win.
"Nelson, you have been dodging me since I lost that belt over a year
ago, Eclipso said. "November 1, right here in Rocky Mount, give me
another shot at the title.'
"When I won this belt, the stipulation was that you (Eclipso) would
never get another title shot. If the commissioner approves it, I
will see you on Nov. 1," Nelson said.
In other action:
"Universal Tag Team Champions "Dirty Deeds" Eddie Loco and Robbie
Lynn retained the championship by defeating "Team USA" Scott Weddle
and Foxy Rocky by disqualification.
After "Team USA" dominated much of the match, a frustrated Lynn went
for a chair under the ring to take control.
As Lynn went to hit Roxy, he noticed the referee turning to catch
him with the chair. Since Lynn's team would lose the belts on a
disqualification, a match stipulation, a crafty Lynn tossed the
chair to Roxy and faked being pummeled with the steel.
The referee seeing the chair in Roxy's possession and noticing a
"knocked out" Lynn on the mat, declared "Dirty Deeds" the winners.
"In a lumber jack match, Eclipso and Ken Steel with Wentworth
defeated hometown favorites "Big Yella" Jeff Holland and Mr. Jamie
Wright when Rolling Thunder, a lumberjack outside of the ring,
caught Holland with a right hand during a pin attempt.
"Holland, who needed help back to the dressing room after the match,
later discovered Thunder delivered the punch with the help of brass
knuckles.
"In an exciting "Scramble Rules" match, Franklin County's own,
Hillbilly Helbert retained his Universal Television Championship
over Col. Spud Wade and Scotty Blaze.
During this 15-minute match, pin falls can occur as many times as
possible, but the competitor who scored the last pin fall after the
15 minutes expired would be declared the champion.
During the match, there were as many as 10 pin falls with the
championship going back and forth between the wrestlers.
With less than a minute remaining, Wade tossed Helbert to the
outside of the ring and landed a devastating bulldog on a dazed
Blazed.
As the referee was lowering his hand for the count of three and an
apparent win for Wade, Helbert pulled Wade off of the pinned Blaze
as the bell sounded to end the match allowing Hillbilly to retain
his championship.
This is the second time Wade had been denied the championship from
Helbert and he has promised revenge the next time these two meet.
"Damien James defeated Scott Lee with a splash from the second rope.
"Robbie Lynn defeated Ace England by pinfall.

Blaze survives and wins ACW main
event
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
By ANDY FLORA - Special to The Franklin News-Post
http://www.thefranklinnewspost.com/article.cfm?ID=11901&back=archives
CROSSROADS -- Scotty Blaze outwitted and outplayed 15 other
champions of the squared circle to win the Over the Top Power
Rumble, the main event of Saturday night's American Championship
Wrestling (ACW) card at the Crossroads Ruritan Club.
The outdoor event, the annual Joe Powers Memorial, was sponsored by
We Care of Franklin County and the Crossroads Ruritan Club.
The main event started with two wrestlers, the Legendary Eclipso and
Mr. Jamie Wright, entering the ring.
Pins were not allowed and the only way to eliminate your opponent
was to throw them over the top rope.
Every two minutes, another wrestler would enter the match until all
combatants had entered the ring.
To the surprise of former champion Eclipso, Wright eliminated the
"Legendary One" as Wright's many fans in attendance cheered.
One by one, friends and foes eliminated each other until Franklin
County's own Hillbilly Helbert and Scotty Blaze were the last men
standing.
Helbert threw Blaze into the corner, climbed to the second rope, and
delivered rights and lefts to Blaze's head.
Fans believed Hillbilly was on his way to certain victory when out
of nowhere, Blaze grabbed Helbert by the boots and pushed him over
the top rope to eliminate the country boy and capture the victory.
In other action, the stars of ACW participated in "The Power
Rumble."
Teams of three were drawn at random in a winner take all tournament.
This "Russian Roulette" style of determining teams resulted in many
unusual pairings.
In the first match of the tournament, the team of Eddie Loco, Scott
Weddle, and Foxy Roxy defeated the team of Scott Lee, Robbie Lynn,
and Damian James.
Loco and Lynn, the ACW tag team champions, had trouble working
without each other.
Lynn decided to help his partner double team Lee when Loco missed
Lee with a loaded boot and connected on Lynn's forehead by mistake.
While checking on his downed partner, Loco accidently laid on top of
Lynn and the referee counted to three to advance Loco's team to the
finals.
In the second match of the tournament, the team of Drake Tungsten,
Rolling Thunder, and Helbert defeated Ace England, The Scorpion, and
ACW heavyweight champion Sgt. Jim Nelson.
To score the victory, Thunder caught Nelson off guard with a spear
and pinned him.
After the match, Thunder pointed out Nelson how easily he was pinned
and challenged him to a championship bout at the next ACW event.
In the third match of the tournament, the team of Eclipso, escorted
to the ring by Douglas J. Wentworth. III Esq, Ken Steele, and "Big
Yella" Jeff Holland squared off against the team of Mr. Jamie
Wright, Scotty Blaze, and Col. Spud Wade.
Both teams were disqualified after the action got out of control
outside the ring and the referee declared a no contest.
In the finals of the tournament, the team of Tungsten, Thunder, and
Helbert defeated Loco, Weddle, and Roxy.
Roxy and Weddle, frustrated at the way Loco was performing for their
team, delivered back to back top rope moves to knock Loco
unconscious.
Helbert, a spectator in the corner, walked over after the damage on
Loco by his own teammates and pinned him for the tournament
championship.
ACW returns to action at the Rocky Mount National Guard Armory

Team Wright is victorious
Wednesday, August 6, 2008
By ANDY FLORA - Special to The Franklin News-Post
http://www.thefranklinnewspost.com/article.cfm?ID=11522&back=archives
Mr. Jamie Wright and teammates of Jeff (Big Yella) Holland and
American Championship Wrestling (ACW) heavyweight champion Sgt. Jim
Nelson won the feature bout of Saturday night's professional
wrestling card at the Rocky Mount National Guard Armory.
In doing so, Team Wright finally put an end to the destruction
Eclipso and his comrades had been laying down all summer.
In the main event, sponsored by "We Care" of Rocky Mount. Wright's
team challenged the trio of Eclipso, Ken Steel, and Eclipso's
manager Douglas J. Wentworth .III Esq.
Wright, who was competing in his first pro match, showed many great
in-ring moves that caught the competition off guard.
Holland provided the power game while Nelson used his many years of
experience to control most of the match.
Eclipso's team distracted the referee on many occasions to finally
gain the upper hand.
It was easy to see that their strategy was to punish Wright ,who was
thrown over the top rope twice, hit with an aluminum bat twice, and
took a suplex on the concrete floor.
Wright appeared to be finished when Wentworth went for a pin.
Somehow Wright had enough intestinal fortitude to reverse
Wentworth's attempt with a roll up of his own to capture the
victory.
Eclipso was shocked by the result -- he could not believe the rookie
got the victory.
"Wright, you got lucky! We will see how you feel in the morning,"
Eclipso shouted after the match.
Nelson, with the help of the crowd, convinced Eclipso to face Wright
one-on-one in a bonus match.
But after a couple quick moves that went Wright's way, Eclipso
retreated to the dressing room.
Eclipso continued to challenge Nelson for a title shot, but he might
to have to go through Wright and Holland to get that wish.
In other matches:
"Franklin County's own Hillbilly Helbert captured the ACW television
championship by defeating Scotty Blaze in controversial fashion.
Blaze injured his hand at the beginning of the match when he
delivered a chop to Hillbilly, who forgot to take his lucky
horseshoe out of his bibs before the match.
Blaze favored the hand the whole match, but gained control for a pin
attempt using the ropes.
The referee counted to three for an apparent win for Blaze.
However Col Spud Wade, who was scouting at ringside, informed the
referee of the illegal pin attempt.
The referee restarted the match and Helbert took advantage with a
quick pin to capture the championship.
Wade took the opportunity to challenge Helbert after the match
feeling that Helbert did not show him any respect.
Look for these two to clash in the future.
"Eddie Loco and Robbie Lynn retained the ACW tag team championship
even though they lost to Team USA, Foxy Roxy and Scott Weddle.
Weddle went for a pin on Lynn when Loco kicked the referee to force
the disqualification.
According the ACW rules, the title can not change hands on a
disqualification.
"Wade defeated Rolling Thunder when he dodged a splash in the corner
and reversed it to a diamond cutter to get the pin.
"Eclipso defeated Damian James by disqualification in the Silver
Dollar Challenge when James used a skull he brought to the ring to
smash Eclipso in the back of the head.
"Ace England defeated Darius Mackleford when England rolled
Mackleford up in a small package.
ACW returns to action in the month of September at the Crossroads
Ruritan Club in Ferrum.

Eclipso and company continue
dominance
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
By ANDY FLORA - Special to The Franklin News-Post
http://www.franklin.chatmoss.com/article.cfm?ID=11205
The Legendary Eclipso and company continued their "take no prisoners
summer tour" by sweeping the 2 out of 3 falls main event of Saturday
night's American Championship Wrestling (ACW) card at the Pigg River
Community Center
The match started with ACW heavyweight champion Sgt. Jim Nelson and
his partner, Col. Spud Wade, running into the ring and catching
their opponents, Eclipso and Ken Steel, off guard.
During the melee Nelson, with adrenaline flowing, accidentally
tossed Eclipso over the top rope which gave Eclipso and Steel an
early, first-fall win.
The second-fall action was fast-paced. Nelson slapped on his
finishing hold -- the cobra clutch in an effort to square the score.
However, Eclipso, the former champ, fell backward and took Nelson
down with him to the mat.
Both wrestlers had their shoulders pinned as Nelson still had the
cobra clutch clamped on tight..
The referee noticed both opponents had their shoulders on the mat.
During the referee's count, Eclipso bridged his shoulders off the
mat before the three-count for the win.
A stunned crowd looked on as Eclipso, Steel, and manager Douglas J
Wentworth, III Esq. celebrated their victory over the fan favorites.
"The blood is on your hands," Wentworth said. "We will continue to
mame and maul every Rocky Mount redneck that crosses our path."
Wentworth challenge was clearly aimed at hometown heroes Jamie
Wright and Jeff "Big Yella" Holland, both of whom have preformed on
recent ACW cards, but were absent Saturday.
"You knew Jamie and Holland were not going to be here tonight,"
Nelson said to Wentworth after the match. "But Jamie will have
something for you July 5 at Franklin County Speedway."
Wright, the primary target of Eclipso and company, and Holland have
been at the receiving end of numerous beatings at the hands trio.
In other matches:
"The tag-team title reign of Franklin County's Hillbilly Helbert and
Damien James came to an end after only two weeks.
Saturday, the duo of "Dirty Deeds" Eddie Loco and Robbie Lynn
captured the championship when Loco delivered a loaded-boot kick to
James for the pin.
""American Made" Scott Weddle accepted a challenge from Eclipso and
defeated him by count out.
Weddle controlled so much of the contest that Eclipso and Wentworth
both got frustrated and left the ring giving Weddle the count-out
victory .
"Ace England continued his winning streak by defeating Rolling
Thunder by disqualification.
Thunder toyed with England most of the match, but got caught by
fists of fury delivered by England in the corner.
To escape, Thunder used a low blow, which was discovered by the
referee, giving the victory to England.
Scotty Blaze dominated Foxy Roxy and defeated him by using an
airplane spin to set up a diamond cutter.
"Tone-Up pinned the Universal television champion Daniel Ocean by
using the ropes during the pin.
The pin came after the 15-minute time limit placed on the television
title.
A frustrated Tone Up, who did not win the title, requested five more
minutes to try to capture the belt.
Ocean granted the extended time and preceded to pound on Tone Up.
Tone Up used better judgment and left the ring shortly there after.
Saturday's wrestling event was sponsored by "We Care" of Rocky Mount
and special sponsor "Star City Home Improvement" in Roanoke.
The next event sponsored once again by "We Care" will be at Franklin
County Speedway Saturday, July 5th.
Tickets in advance can be purchased at all usual outlets.
