Two WWA title Changes at Somerset Hall

The January 3rd card, at Somerset Hall, saw both the singles and tag titles change hands. The action was witnessed by about 159 fans who enjoyed a night of "old school" action. In the opener, Tiger Jackson defeated the popular "D-Ray 3,000. Jackson was aided by interference from Pastor Pain, and Buck Lawless before winning with a roll-up and a handful of tights.

In the second match "The Crimson" (think heavy red face paint) beat Chris Kaufman with a "back cracker," and body press. Third bout was a Tag match pitting "The CIA," Denzell Titan, and "Black Velvet" putting their tag belts on the line against Andy Chene, and Sean Casey managed by Dr Jerry Graham, Jr.

Graham seemed to be teasing a heel turn, as Chene and Casey were breaking rules with total abandon. But in the end, Graham turned against his own team (it's Pro Wrestling folks!) who won by knocking out their opponents with a metal chain. So Chene, and Casey are now tag champs, and I predict a heel turn by Graham is on tap.

After an intermission, local favorite Brian Castle, "The New Age Patriot" met Sebastian Rose in a chain match. The competitors were chained together at the wrist, the competitor who touched all four corners first would gain the nod. Sebastian Rose won in controversial fashion, disappointing the fans who thought Castle had won. Can you say "rematch?"

In the next bout, WWA Champ, William Studd, put the title on the line against Bobo Brazil, Jr.
After about 5-6 minutes of back and forth action, Studd bobbled a body slam on Brazil, slamming him on his side rather than his back. The challenger seemed genuinely stunned, whick led to Studd having to carry the action until Brazil recovered enough to deliver a weak looking "koko butt" to gain the win, and the WWA Title.

In the main event of the evening, the former tag partners, "Alcatraz" and "Buck Lawless" (with Pastor Pain) engaged in a wild brawl that saw Lawless gain the win, after Pastor Pain threw powder into Alcatraz's face. That decision was reversed, which so incensed Pain and Lawless that they attacked the hapless commentator and gave him a spike pile driver. Of course that unfortunate was carried out by several faces.

Next card is February 2d at Somerset Hall.
