NWA Showcase TV report for January 31


Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint
By Eric Paz

We open up in Las Vegas with Dave Marquez and Rob Conway. Marquez says we're two weeks away for something but Rob Conway interrupts saying there wasn't enough Rob Conway. He gets a phone call that's actually for Marquez. Marquez says it's "very unprofessional" and ROCKY ROMERO wouldn't approve! Marquez steps away and all of a sudden it's the ROB CONWAY'S MUSIC SHOW~! He sits down with his fruity little drink and promotes the first match, screwing up the names and asking the director how to say their names. Silly Rob Conway.

TJ Perkins y Rayo de Jalisco vs. Blue Demon y Hidaka

This lucha style match was a mix of lucha libre with puro junior style wrestling. The lucha was mostly comedy spots and the junior style was great. Lots of stalling in the beginning by the heels (Demon & Hidaka) with the story that Demon was afraid of Jalisco and tried to stay away when he was in the ring. Match turned into a lucha clusterfuck. I really don't understand lucha like I thought I did. Too much cluster fucking for my taste. They tease the demasking of Blue Demon. Demon gets the win via submission on TJ Perkins. Some type of inverted abdominal stretch.

Winners: Blue Demon y Hidaka

We're back with the Conway show. Conway says we're about to see him in action against Eugene!

"Special E" Dinsmore vs. Rob Conway

Haha... "Special E". Eugene goes for a handshake but Conway slaps it away. What a dick. Eugene goes for the Baron Von Raschke/Kevin Von Erich claw. They're in Corpus Christie, Texas, get it? Typical Eugene comedy early in the match before Conway takes over for the heat. Eugene hulks up and drops the leg for a two count. Eugene gets the flash pin for the win.

Winner: Special E Dinsmore

Mark Thompson stands somewhere (apparently not the back stage) with Austrailian Bobby Jo Marshall.He's yelling a lot. He got mad that the NWA sent him home and now he's back but he hates it and wants to go back home. I dunno. Basically he's back in the NWA.

Conway's back. He bitches about losing to Eugene and introduces Rocky Romero vs Nick Jackson.

Rocky Romero vs. Nick Jackson

Romero Pearl Harbors Jackson and delivers a few chops. Lots of back and forth action during the beginning of the match. Matt Jackson is on the outside cheering his brother on. Rocky works over Jackson before mounting a comeback. Rocky wins via Ankle Lock submission. Short match

Winner: Rocky Romero

Marquez is with Bill Eadie, who hypes up the NWA.

Cut back to Marquez still talking on the phone. Such mystery. I bet it was Alvarez trying to get the scoopz on the NWA. You're about to get another man fired, Chico. Cut to Conway who does a shitty job introudcing the next match.

Cobra II vs Cassandro

Haha, Cassandro is a gay. Cassandro looks super flaming here. Cobra II has had enough of the gaiety and walks away from the ring. Looks like more lucha hi-jinks. Woah, this match is super fast. Cassandro is a quick little queer. Cassandro kisses Cobra II and Cobra sells it like he's been hit by 40 barbed wired light bulbs. I'm exaggerating but yeah. Even the announcers let out a Mike Tenay-ish scream. Cassandro wins with a wheelbarrow into a victory roll.

Winner: Cassandro

Back to the Conway show. Marquez is back and he's pretty angry in the nice Marquez kinda way. He closes the show, the end. {plug}
