The running gunfight between Alexander Shaw's group and the LIONS Fight Club doesn't seem like it's going to end any time soon, especially if the events of last Saturday's ALPHA 18: The Long Haul are any indication! All the LIONS (except club pariah D.R. Kongo) were in action that night to prove that they were still strong despite Shaw's pressure. Did they succeed, or did they just show more chinks in their armor? The only way to know is to see the show! If you missed it, you can order it on demand by calling 1 800 MOD ERNV or visiting www.modernvision.com right now! The show's recap was provided by Charlie Reager, as always. [align=center] ![]() alpha.nearzone.com ALPHA 18 The Long Haul 8.21.10[/align] There seemed to be somewhere over 300 people tonight, maybe about 320 or 330. Daniel Stann was out first as usual to run down the card for the audience. D.R. Kongo's appearance interrupted him and we had an impromptu interview. Kongo said that he wanted to talk about the LIONS Fight Club. He said he was still loyal to the LION spirit, he just wasn't loyal to John Hurst or Anton Assault. He called them disgraces and said the entire reason he was fighting against the LFC was to show that he deserved to be a LION based on his merits as a wrestler, not on how well he kissed ass. This brought out Josh Cameron, who said Kongo had no right to talk about the LFC that way. Cameron said that ever since he'd seen Kongo acting out like he was something special without earning it, he'd dedicated himself to putting Kongo out of commission. Cameron said that Kongo would get to be a full LION over his dead body. Kongo said that could be arranged. Cameron smirked ominously and headed to the back. Rodrigo De La Zed emerged from the back as Kongo was heading backstage. DLZ purposefully bumped Kongo aside. Kongo restrained himself from attacking. Fight for the Future: Rodrigo De La Zed vs. Maurice Thompson Thompson started things off with a lot of energy, but DLZ weathered the blows and came back with fire of his own. The match went back and forth between them, each man claiming the upper hand for a moment and scoring a near fall. Thompson started picking up the pace, taking DLZ off balance. He hooked DLZ up, THE FUTURE IS NOW -- elbows to the skull from DLZ! Vertical suplex! 2! DLZ took control of the match after that, keeping things on the ground mostly and cranking Thompson's neck. Thompson fought valiantly, managing to interrupt DLZ's progress by getting the ropes several times, but DLZ refused to give Thompson a clean break. Back on their feet, DLZ shot Thompson into the ropes. He whiffed the lariat, then turned around, caught Thompson on his back, ALABAMA SLAM -- sunset flip! 2! Both men scrambled to their feet, DLZ ate a dropkick! Thompson did his best to keep the momentum on his side, practically flying around the ring to keep DLZ off guard, constantly seeking the win. DLZ seemed stunned, but he never stopped getting back up. Thompson scored with the springboard clothesline! 2.7! Thompson slapped the mat and went up to the top. FLIGHT THROUGH THE WORLD (moonsault) -- knees! DLZ slapped on a camel clutch, wrenching back hard. He focused his attack on Thompson's neck, using heavy blows as well as headlocks. DLZ shot Thompson into the ropes and caught him with a jumping yakuza kick! 2.5! Alabama slam! 2.8! He sent Thompson into the ropes, Thompson leapt forward and rolled DLZ up with a schoolboy! 3! DLZ was shocked! Winner: Maurice Thompson by pinfall (schoolboy pin, 7:39) As Thompson celebrated, DLZ attacked him from behind. Capture suplex! RAVAILLAC! DLZ reared back on the clutch until Alexander Shaw charged out for the save! DLZ bailed into the crowd, sneering victoriously. Another Tidal Wave: Surf Ninjas (Byron Maloka and Brian Jackson) vs. Kevin Alloy & Andre Miller Jackson and Miller started things off with some basic wrestling. As Miller began to wrestle his way to the advantage, Jackson managed a tag out to Maloka and the Ninjas used their combined skills to control the match. Miller found himself on the receiving end of tandem suplexes, dropkicks, and lariats, but somehow always found the resolve to kick out of pins. Miller was on spaghetti legs as Maloka opened him up with chop after chop. Maloka hit the ropes, BRUCE LEE KICK -- Miller dove out of the way! Miller started to crawl to Alloy, Maloka grabbed his feet, Miller kicked away! Tag out to Alloy! Alloy bowled Maloka over easily! Maloka and Jackson still had the upper hand as far as tagging in and out was concerned, but they barely seemed to shake the bulky Alloy. Each of them tasted a heavy lariat or back elbow from Alloy, putting them down to the mat for near falls. With Jackson in the ring, Alloy began to assert his control, sending Jackson into the corner and giving him two huge corner splashes. POWERBOMB -- Jackson held onto the ropes! Jackson started to throw some rights, but Alloy wasn't fazed. Headbutt from Alloy! CLUBBING LARIAT! 2.7 -- Maloka saved with the springboard legdrop! Miller tagged in. Belly-to-belly suplex! ALLOY CRUSHED JACKSON WITH A HUGE SPLASH! Miller covered! 2.9 -- Maloka saved again! Maloka was begging for the tag at this point, but Miller wasn't making it easy, controlling Jackson with basic holds and throws. Miller hit the ropes and came back with a flying leg lariat, but Jackson ducked under! Tag out to Maloka! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! 2.5! Maloka's fresh energy and speed was too much for Miller, giving Jackson enough time to recover that the Ninjas could resume their teamwork. Jackson with a DDT! Tag out to Maloka! Jackson charged across the ring and knocked Alloy off the apron with a dropkick! JACKSON SOARED OFF THE TOP ROPE AND COLLIDED WITH ALLOY ON THE OUTSIDE! Alloy barely dumped Jackson over the barricade as he slumped to the ground. Inside, Maloka sent Miller into the corner, DRILLED HIS CHEST WITH A BRUCE LEE KICK! 3! Winners: Surf Ninjas (Byron Maloka+ and Brian Jackson) by pinfall (Bruce Lee Kick on Miller, 14:50) An incensed Chandra Taylor appeared from the back, chastising the Surf Ninjas for their recklessness. She said that next week she had something "special" in store for the Ninjas. The Train and the Tank: Nathan Rageous vs. Barron Ulysses Rageous and Ulysses stood toe to toe for a second until Ulysses told Rageous to hit the ropes. Rageous did so, charging into Ulysses but finding himself unable to move the bigger man. He tried three more times, each with the same result. Next Ulysses hit the ropes and shoulder blocked Rageous to the mat! They tested their strength against each other for a while, but it was clear that Ulysses had the advantage in this regard. A few right hand shots from Rageous knocked Ulysses off balance. Rageous used the opportunity to hit the ropes for some extra momentum, SPEAR -- Ulysses lifted his knee into Rageous's jaw! He threw Rageous into the corner, CRUSHED HIM WITH A LARIAT! Control of the match was solidly in Ulysses's hands from this point on and he threw Rageous around the ring like he was nothing. Rageous started to cut some corners, backing against the ropes to buy himself some time, clipping Ulysses's heels, but at most he got himself a few seconds before a sledge-like right hand from Ulysses knocked Rageous for a loop. CRUSH RUSH -- Rageous frantically fought his way out! Rageous hit the ropes, flying shoulder tackle! Ulysses stumbled but didn't fall! Rageous tried for a belly-to-belly suplex, but Ulysses smashed his way free. Thumb to the eye! The referee got in Rageous's face as Ulysses rubbed his eye. Lex Fox took advantage of the distraction, leaping over the barricade! LAPTOP SHOT TO ULYSSES'S SKULL! The ref called it! Winner: Barron Ulysses by disqualification (9:21) Just Competition: Dash Springfield vs. Javier Sikkan Springfield came down to the ring with the Just Wrestling Championship over his shoulder. Sikkan started out strong, taking advantage of Springfield's smugness to do a world of damage. Springfield tried to get his head back in the game but Sikkan gave him very little chance to recuperate, as seemingly in every situation Sikkan had a weapon to use. After a few minutes of punishment, Springfield headed to the outside. A baseball slide from Sikkan knocked Springfield into the barricade. SIKKAN CRASHED INTO SPRINGFIELD WITH AN ASAI MOONSAULT! He rolled Springfield back into the ring and went for the cover. 2.6! SIKKAN WITH THE SLINGHOT MOONSAULT -- knees! Springfield rolled back out of the ring, going to a knee to breathe. Sikkan followed Springfield out, but Springfield recovered enough to send Sikkan into the rails and dropkick him over into the crowd! Now Springfield headed into the ring to keep his recovery going. Sikkan eventually made it back to the ring and Springfield wasted no time in attacking him, stomping Sikkan's arm heavily. Sikkan tried to roll out of the ring, but Springfield trapped his arm, pulling it hard against the corner of the ring. Springfield followed Sikkan back out of the ring and rammed Sikkan's arm against the ringside a few times before sending him back in. Sikkan tried to put some distance between himself and Springfield, but Springfield closed quickly, battering Sikkan with chops. Divorce courted the arm! Springfield climbed to the second rope and dove off with a kneedrop to Sikkan's shoulder! Locked on the seated armbar! Sikkan refused to tap, even grinning fiendishly as he endured (enjoyed?) the pain. Springfield eventually gave the hold up, bringing Sikkan to his feet. He hooked Sikkan's arm around the top rope, testing the five-count as he attempted to pull Sikkan's arm out of the socket. Sikkan fought back with kicks to Springfield's side, eventually freeing himself enough to throw a jumping back kick into Springfield's mouth! Sikkan dumped Springfield onto his back with a back body drop and then scaled the ropes, TOP ROPE SENTON -- GOT IT! 2.5! Springfield and Sikkan went back and forth, Springfield wrenching or attacking the arm to get the advantage for a while before Sikkan exploded with a big move to put Springfield down. Springfield's armwork seemed to be getting more traction as time wore on, though. Feeling confident, Springfield hung Sikkan over the top rope and hit the ropes. Sikkan slipped out of the position, springboarded off the top rope, HURACANRANA -- SHOULDER BREAKER! Seated armbar! Sikkan couldn't hold on this time, tap out! Winner: Dash Springfield by submission (seated armbar, 17:28) The Unconquerable Game: LIONS F.C. (John Hurst and Josh Cameron) vs. Royal Lancers (Jay and Stephen Mathers) Cameron and Steve started things off in a conventional wrestling manner, trading holds and seeking the set-up for a bigger opportunity. Cameron pushed Steve into the Lancers' corner and Jay blind tagged in, firing shots at Cameron's abdomen. Jay's size and power gave him the edge against Cameron and he used it to its fullest, employing heavy throws to take the wind out of Cameron. Cameron managed to turn the tables on Jay, executing a neat shoulder throw and locking on a cross armbreaker. Jay managed to shimmy to his corner where he made a tag out to Steve, who broke the hold up with a slingshot elbow drop! Hurst quickly got the referee's attention, allowing Cameron to swing his leg back into Steve's nethers and leap across the ring for the tag! Hurst took the fight to Steve immediately, throwing huge kicks that drilled the wind out of Steve's body. Steve rocked Hurst with a few shots, but when he hit the ropes to hit a bigger move, Hurst followed him in and obliterated him with a spinning backfist! 2! Hurst tagged in Cameron and the two LIONS took the fight to Steve, manipulating the ref so they could choke Steve on the ropes. Several times Jay tried to intervene, but this only distracted the ref further, allowing Hurst and Cameron to do more damage to Steve. Hurst rained rough right hands onto Steve's skull, dizzying Steve as a lead-up to the fisherman's suplex! 2.7 -- Jay broke it up! Cameron tried to attack Jay, but Jay quickly exited the ring. Despite the save, Steve was still in no shape to stand up to Hurst's further assault. Hurst sent Steve into the ropes, but Steve reversed it, and Jay smashed Hurst in the back of the head with a forearm! The ref admonished Jay, but Steve still managed to make the tag. BIG TANDEM SUPLEX! 2! Jay locked in a camel clutch. Cameron stepped through the ropes, but Jay pointed him out and the referee got in his face. The Mathers boys utilized frequent fake tags to inflict the Pillory on Hurst, Jay holding in the clutch while Steve teed off with kicks to the face, or Steve wrenching it in while used running stomps. Finally their luck ran out and the ref noticed them. Steve tagged Jay back in, SANDWICHED HURST WITH LARIATS! JAY SPIKED HIM WITH A BRIDGING GERMAN! 2.5 -- Cameron saved! Steve ejected Cameron from the ring! The Lancers continued to dominate, putting the boots to Hurst, wearing him down with their two-on-one assault. Cameron fetched the King of Savage belt and slid it into the ring, rushing to another side and jumping on the apron, yelling at the ref and taking his attention. Hurst seized the belt, CRACK! Nailed Jay with it! Shot number two for Steve! Hurst tossed the belt out of the ring, pulled Steve off the canvas, ICARUS! He bridged! 3! Winners: LIONS F.C. (John Hurst+ and Josh Cameron) by pinfall (Icarus pin on Stephen M., 18:30) Hurst and Cameron gloated in the ring after their win. Shaw and Kongo jumped the barrier and slid into the ring! They spun Hurst around, sandwiched his head between an elbow shot and a superkick! Cameron tried to intervene, STRONG KICK TOOK HIS HEAD OFF! Kongo wasn't done, FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER! Kongo tried to continue his assault, but Shaw pulled him away just as Rageous and DLZ hit the ring. Shaw shouted "guerrilla warfare!" as he and Kongo made their exit through the crowd. |
