Renamed Toledo Promotion Launches New Season at Somerset Hall

Dr. Jerry graham, Jr.'s promotion repackaged as PowerBomb Championship Wrestling, but with most of the same performers, returned successfully tonight (October 17th)with an exciting 9 bout card.

On hand to witness the card, in addition to about 150 fans, were guests Samoan wrestler, Sika, one half of the Hall Of Fame team The Wild Samoans (on hand to watch his son, 420 lb Voodoo Killer in the main event), and famed manager Percival A. Friend, on hand to present an award. Now to the matches.

First four matches were a series of challenge matches to introduce some new wrestlers squaring off some familiar stars. First up: D-Ray 3000, a local favorite versus the debuting "Insane Wayne," who came to the ring to the theme of Sesame Street, and carrying an Elmo doll. Not even Oscar the Grouch could have helped Wayne, as he fell quickly to a missile dropkick. D-Ray wins in less than three minutes.

Second match saw 295lb former WWA champion, Will Studd defeat Reed bentley with a Sidewalk Slam in another short bout.

Next up Denzell Titan, 1/2 of the Team CIA, took on Sebastion Stardust. Titan won handily with a variation of the codebreaker in about two minutes.

In the last of the challenge matches, Cage Butler was totally squashed by Sebastion Rose. Rose continued to punish his outclassed foe after winning, until D-Ray stormed the ring to save Butler from further damage.

Match number five saw "Amazing" N8 Mattson, have an excellent match with Will Studd. This was an evenly fought affair, with Studd ultimately winning by using the ropes for leverage as he pinned Mattson.

last match before intermission was for the Tag Title relinquished by team CIA, due to a broken leg suffered by Black velvet. Denzell Titan and Halloween took on The Sharp Dressed Man--Jason Harris, and his protege Rodney Van Dorn III (aka "Pitbull").

This was a text book tag battle with all the familiar ploys developed over the years to get the fans cheering their favorites, and screaming at the heels! All four men played their roles well, with Harris using a foriegn object to polish off Titan and gain the tainted victory. Time for intermission.

After the break, local favorite Brian Castle took on Benjamin Boone, in the scientific match of the night. Castle won with a small package pin. The two shook hands, and then the announcer, and Percy Friend entered the ring to present the "Dick The Bruiser Rookie of the Year" trophy to Castle. After congratulating Castle on his award Boone, in the least surprising move of the night, suddenly went Postal using the trophy to flatten Castle, and everyone else in the ring!

Note: having an award presented in the ring pretty much guarantees that bad things are going to happen.

Match number eight saw D-Ray 3000 take on "Prime Time" Tommy Dempsey. This was very entertaining, as Prime Time played the heel role to perfection. Just when D-Ray seemed on the verge of victory, Sebatian Rose interfered. This allowed Dempsey to win with a pile driver. Afterwards D-Ray and Rose battled to the back.

Main Event time as Andy Chene, and Bobo Brazil, Jr., were led to the ring by Dr. Jerry Graham, Jr. to meet Pastor Pain's newest incarnation of evil, Krimson, and Voodoo Killer. This was another in a series of violent brawls that saw the "war by proxies," waged by Pain and Graham continue.

Finally, Voodoo and Krimson picked up the official win, but that was only the beginning as Krimson sprayed an orange liquid (it looked suspiciously like Kool Aid) into Graham's eyes. Graham had to be carried to the back, where the ring announcer's microphone picked up his howls of pain.

On that odd note, the show ended. However one can be sure that next card on November 21st, will follow up on many themes introduced tonight,
