"Chaos In Coldwater"

It was a night of action, and surprises at the Price Of Glory show in Coldwater, MI, omn May 2. The regular videographer/soundman had car problems and couldnt make it, which meant more subdued entrances for this show.

The curtain raiser featured Mister Nifty (from "Niftyville," of course) taking on Sean Tyler. This featured fast paced back and forth action, with neither holding a clear advantage. Finally a frustrated Nifty, began tossing chairs into the ring, in the chaos that ensued, as various others got involved,including Tyler's tag partner, Joseph Schwartz.

While the ref was otherwise occupied, Nifty tossed a chair to Schwartz, and then fell to the mat with a groan, selling a chair shot that never happened. The ref seeing the apparently stricken Nifty, thrashing about on the mat, and Schwatz with a chair signalled a disqualification, awarding the match to Nifty (who also qualifies for June;s tournament for the chaotic cahampionship.

Up next was an intergender match betweeh winless (0 and 10) Ryan Epic, and the "first lady of POG," Sybil Starr. It wasn't much of a contest as the scintillating Sybil slapped her opponent during the introductions, low-blowed him as the match got underway, then polished him off with a crossface in about a minute and a half.

Next up was an interview segment featuring "moisture moment" Jack Veasey, and "Mild Mannered Matt interviewing Defiance, Ohio's own "The SI." You had to be there.

The third match saw Jonny Lawless and Noah Lott bring down, if not the house at leat the ring! During the action the middle rope fell loose! In the end Noah Lott prevailed with his finisher called, of course, "Noah's Arc."

Hard Core Harry then wandered out with a bag of tools for his match with Hardcore Harley. Only problem was that that bout is scheduled for June! Harry insisted that the ref declare him the winner, before he would leave,

next up Jamie P., a former POG commissioner led the "Hollow Souls" to the the ring to face a pair of masked opponents. The souls won, pinning "Pedrosis." Pedrosis then unmasked revealing--Ryan Epic! This was Epic's second loss of the night. On that note, it was time for intermission.

After the break, Joseph "Hebrew Hammer" Schwartz challenged Jimmy Shalwin, the POG champion (accompanied by Max Morrison). After Schwartz dominated the action, Shalwin gained the tainted win by spitting the tainted Kool Aid into Schwartz's eyes.

In the match of the night, Keith Creme, anf "Chill" Jack Verville, wnt to an old school, scientific draw. Creme proved t be a master tactician, and Verville no slouch. The crowd chanted for "five more minutes." The announcer declared that, rather than "five more minutes," both would advance to the chaotic tournament.

Next up: the Hollow Souls got their shot at tag champs, Idle Heinz, and Osiris. This proved the wisdom of the old saying: be careful what you ask for! The champs proved way too powerful for the souls who were pretty much squashed by the powerful champs.

It was noe time for the main event match pitting "Michigan's only Masked Monster," Jamie Eternal, against the popular "Dollar." This was a real "slobber knocker"--as Jim Ross would say, and ended with both being counted out. It took most of the locker room to keep these two apart. Champ Shalwin rejoiced "they both lost, so I get next month off!"

He was indignant when informed that rather having a bye for the next show, he would have to defend against both Dollar, and Eternal. That's right. On June 3rd, it will be a three-way match for the POG title. On that exciting note, the announcer thanked us all for coming, and a thoroughly happy crowd dispersed.
