So Friday was the extreme hardcore HVW show in Hendersonville. This had the potential to be a giant cluster, but the show did have a progression of its hardcoreness. The main event was the main event where the combatants went all out with the tables, barb wire, pans, traffic cones, and briefly a dildo! Yes…even a rubber phallus, brought from the pocket of Law and nearly inserted into the mouth of James Drake…Har! Then it was hurtled into the crowd by Ostgard.
I posted the pictures from Friday up on Saturday, the pictures from Saturday night are being worked on as I type this.
There was surprisingly little blood at the hardcore show. The most I saw was on Roxi’s injury which was brought about by being slammed through a row of fluorescent tubes. It gashed this elbow and arm pretty good.
ER came out and got the crowd riled up with his anti-hardcore speech. He was not announcing this night, instead he stood in the corner of Ostgard. His opponent – Princess Bubbles. It was the straightest homosexual gimmick I have ever seen.
ER did a great job, I’ve never heard such language from him before – well actually I have, but just never in the center of the ring. The “anti-hardcore” match generated as much if not more crowd reaction than the other stuff.
I’ve already mentioned Roxi’s injury, the other one for the night was Law who suffered a laceration on the top of his head from a chair shot. It took ten stitches to sew him up.
The pictures from Saturday night were taken from the balcony. Yes, I know pure laziness. The crowd was rather small, so I decided to hang out up top with the Balcony Boys et al. The pictures do not have the same “in your face” feel, but fear not it is just a one night exception.
The show ended early so we were able to have supper at a new place – Applebees. We put our favorite wrestler, Ostgard up at the Arledge Mountain chalet for Saturday night, and then gave him the grand tour of Polk County.
Only one show this week, WWC on Saturday night. Then next week will be NWA Anarchy on the 20th.
Finished watching “Elizabeth I” that I had TiVo’d from last week – very good movie. I am a fan of Helen Mirren anyway from BBC’s “Prime Suspect”, and she did great as good Queen Bess.
