August 1st, saw heated action at the Michigan Sports Camp, as titles were won, friends were betrayed, and new alliances formed that seem ready to change the face of independent wrestling in Michigan.
The action witnessed by about forty fans began with what was supposed to be a "fatal fourway" match for Noah Lott's Chaotic Championship belt. The three challengers: Mr. Nifty (from "Niftyville, of course), Jonny Lawless, and Jack Verville waited in the ring for the champ.
Lott came out in street clothes, and said that he was in an auto accident on Wednesday night, and was not cleared to wrestle. After some discussion, he was ordered to forfeit the title with the [rovision that he would get a shot at the title in October.
After some spirited action that saw the challengers form shifting alliances ( a sort of metaphor for what lay ahead this evening). Verville won the title, besting his rivals. Lott handed him the belt and they shook hands on the October bout.
Next up, Jamie P., owner of VIP Wrestling came out with Joseph Schwartz, and the Hrrd (tag team), and ominously announced "tonight it begins!"
In the second match of the night former friends and partners Ryan Epic, and Adam Buehler (who I think gets tired of "Ferris Buehler" allusions) squared off in a tag bout. Buehler enlisted the aid of Jake Omen, and Epic paired up with Scotty Young. It was another spirited contest, that featured plenty of doubleteaming by both
teams. Epic, and Young joined forces to deliver a "tower of doom" move on Buehler for the win.
Next up "The SI," from Defiance, Ohio, was announced as taking on Dan Severn, only rather than the Beast himself, this version of Dan Severn turned out to be an under five feet tall imposter wearing a cheesy handlebar mustache! At this point Roderick Street entered the ring and directed 'Dan" to the outside of the ring.
Street made quick work of the SI who was soon tapping furiously to signal his surrender to an ankle lock.
Next up the "show down" as VIP's team of the HRRRD, and "Jewish Hammer," Joseph Schwartz took on Price of Glory tag champs, Osiris and Idol Heinz, and their partner Sean Tyler. After several minutes of rugged action where the POG standard bearers seemed headed for certain victory, Joseph Schwartz rolled up Sean Tyler for a victory that left the crowd in stunned disbelief as we headed for intermission.
After the intermission, Dollar put his POG heavyweight title on the line against Michigan's "masked monster," Jamie Eternal. Eternal proved far and away much the more powerful of the two. However, Dollar"s superior ring generalship gained the champ a hard earned, and very popular victory.
Time for the main event, the Price Of Glory 30 man "Gauntlet" match ( two men start, and a new man enters the ring every minute, last man standing is the winner. "Bry-2-fly" and Jack Verville were the first two in the ring, soon joined by Ryan Epic.
After the dust cleared, and competitors came and went #27 was the very popular (and arguably the best technical wrestler in either promotion) Keith Creme. #28 in was Joseph Schwartz, #29 in was Sean Tyler, last in was jamie Eternal.
Tyler, "Game boy" Max Morrison, Jimmy "The Hype" Shalwin, and Jamie Eternal went out in that order, leaving POG "standard bearer " Keith Creme, to face VIP's representative, Joseph Schultz. As the two squared off Schwartz suddenly handed Creme a VIP lanyard and, in case anyone in the crowd failed to "get it." Schwartz and Jamie P. laughed and said "he went VIP!"
Schwartz then eliminated himself over the top rope, guaranteeing Creme the title shot against Dollar and leaving the crowd staring in stunned disbelief! Thus far Jamie P., and VIP are making mincemeat of Price of Glory. It is getting late in the game, and POG has a lot of ground to regain, and the clock is not in the home team's favor!
