- E Furrey sent in the following report:
On February 28, 2004 NWA Florida’s show “Mark of the Mask” went on despite the non-presence of LXW who backed out for reasons to be explained later by NWA Florida offiicials. The fans came out to the St. Petersburg Armory witnessed the crowning of new NWA Florida tag team champions as the bicep injury sustained by Mike Shane will keep him out of action for three months, forced the Shane Twins to forfeit the titles back to the NWA FL office.
Before the main show the fans were treated to a three match showcase session:
(1) Brian Boring defeated Logan Casey and Scott Commodity.
(2) Hot Ass Amy Love, James Hendrix and Mark Zout (as Kane) defeated Kevin Devine, T-Bolt and Luther “Bodybag” Jackson.
(3) Cuban Assassin (w/Fantasy) defeated Havoc
Now onto the main show results:
(4) Todd Shane (w/Ron Niemi) defeated Bruce Steele in a heavyweight contenders’ match
NWA referee Star Stevens came out ready to officiate but Niemi protested his assignment as he felt Stevens had screwed the Shane Brothers in several matches. As Stevens left Niemi introduced his own “911 referee” Eric Loy. Steele appeared to be larger since his last appearance in an NWA FL ring and he tried to use his new strength to match that of Todd Shane. But Shane had all the factors and what appeared to be a crooked referee on his side. Steele fought back several times and had Shane beat but Loy’s count was slower than the crowd and Steele wanted it to be. Steele went for a corner splash but he missed the mark and Shane hit the TKO for a three count.
(5) Maximum Capacity defeated “Uptown” Frankie Capone (w/Cannon)
Even with Cannon’s help Capone was outmatched by the 600+ pound Max’s strength. But Capone briefly got control by his superior speed. The referee didn’t seem to mind Cannon interfering in the match as Capone lay exhausted on the floor, Max splashed Cannon and got the three count. After the match there appeared to be some dissention between the Double Deuce members.
An intermission was scheduled but that was put on hold by the arrival at the ring of the “Black Nature Boy” Scoot Andrews. Andrews appeared to be angrier than usual and he told the fans why. He felt that there was racism in the NWA Florida office and locker room and decided he was going to step away from the Alliance of Defiance briefly to settle some scores. Andrews then shocked the audience by bringing out a new partner, Antonio Banks!!! Banks said that even though Andrews destroyed his knee and he destroyed Andrews’ forearm, they had respect for each other and Banks was tired of busting his ass for the fans and not getting gold around his waist to match the jewelry around his neck. Andrews made it be known that his team with Banks was to be called Nig$@# With Attitudes and they wanted to be included in the NWA Florida tag team title match tonight.
(6) Navy Seal defeated Yuki Iishikawa (w/Ron Niemi) in a Battle Arts match
Niemi spoke on behalf of Iishikawa-san saying Seal’s career would end tonight. Seal announced he had some backup to counteract Niemi being at ringside, his Allied Forces partners Cuban Assassin and Fantasy. Being fought under Battle Arts rules the brutality factor was higher than any match on the show. Both men went for leg lock submissions early but Seal raised the physicality level when he hit a stiff spinning heel kick to Iishikawa’s face. Iishikawa gained control back when he changed his attack to Seal’s left arm and shoulder. Seal recovered and applied his version of the “crippler crossface” but he did not get a submission. Both men got to the neutral position and began to smash each others face with forearm shots but neither man went down to the mat. An Iishikawa headbutt did not hurt Seal but a kick to the groin did. The fans got behind Seal and it energized him to the point that he scored a 2nd spinning heel kick this time knocking Iishikawa out and winning by a standing 10 count. Both men received a well deserved ovation from the crowd.
(7) “Freedom Ryder” Mike Sullivan (w/the XTC Jenni Lee) defeated David Babylon, Sedrick Strong, Lex Lovett and Danny Doring in a five way dance.
This five way match gave fans the opportunity to see in ring matchups they might not normally see on a NWA FL show. Each man showed the NWA Florida office why they should be considered contenders to all the NWA Florida singles titles including the Southern championship held by Steve Corino. The major highlight was all four men executing planchas onto the floor and Mike Sullivan. Strong and Lovett continued to fight on the floor. Meanwhile back in the ring Sullivan hit Babylon with a turnbuckle powerbomb but Doring then hit Sullivan with the “Bareback” but it backfired on Doring as the move dropped Sullivan on top of the still injured Babylon for the victory.
(8) Chaos defeated OG Scarface (w/Ana Mosity) in a hardcore match
OG came out and proclaimed himself the NWA Florida icon which didn’t sit well with the crowd or Chaos. These two men fought all over the Armory using anything that wasn’t nailed down as a weapon and that list included a kendo stick, a barbwire baseball bat and a chair covered in mini light tubes. Surprisingly both men were busted open by these items. OG called Mosity into the ring to help in the victory but her running speed limit sign smash hit her man by mistake. Chaos hit OG with a DDT and earned the win. After the match there appeared to be major problems between OG and Mosity as she hit OG with a forearm shot to the jaw.
(9) Fahrenheit 420 (Stash and David Mercury) won the NWA FL tag tam titles by defeating NWA (Scoot Andrews & Antonio Banks), the Untouchables (Rod Steel & Mikey Tenderfoot) and Shockwave (Mikey Batts & Erick Stevens w/Lance Thrustwell.)
NWA brought out a surprise to make the fans hate them even more than before, their manager for the evening So Cal Val!!! With too much action to describe the falls went this way:
-Untouchables eliminated Shockwave -NWA eliminated the Untouchables -Fahrenheit 420 eliminated NWA as Stash pinned Andrews.
Andrews told the crowd and the 420 crew that they weren’t done yet and sooner or later the tag titles would be theirs.
(10) NWA World Jr. Heavyweight champion “Mr. 630” Jerrelle Clark defeated Naphtali in a ladders match.
These competitors knew each other so well that they quickly had to find new ways to obtain victory. Naphtali stunned fans as he pulled off a stunning Garvin stomp followed by a Polish Hammer. Naphtali then applied a “crippler crossface” even using the ladder for assistance. But Naphtali got into a shouting match with the referee and this allowed Clark to dropkick Naphtali ace first into the ladder. Clark then hit Naphtali with a springboard flip as Naphtali stood on the floor. Clark rolled Naphtali back in the ring but as Clark tried to bring the ladder back in the ring Naphtali hit Clark with a plancha. Naphtali then got a taller ladder, brought in the ring and dropped back into the “crippler crossface??” When submission didn’t being victory Naphtali decided to involve both ladders in the match but it backfired and Clark reversed an Irish whip into the ladders forcing Naphtali into them and all three fell to the mat. Naphtali recovered and hit a Van Terminator as Clark lay prone under a ladder. Naphtali went for a second Van Terminator but Clark got to his feet and shook the ropes causing Naphtali to fall off the rope. Clark went for a 630 but Naphtali blocked it but his bodyslam was countered by Clark into a cradle for a 2 count. Naphtali hit a shining wizard but his top of the ladder splash missed. Clark hit a “sky twister press” (his name for the move) as Naphtali lay under a ladder. Both men were given a standing ovation for their efforts.
(11) NWA Florida Heavyweight champion “Modern Miracle” Steve Madison defeated Justice.
The unorthodox ring style of Justice gave Madison fits but Justice could not match Madison’s superior strength advantage. Justice turned it up a notch by hitting a ringside plancha onto Madison. Back in the ring Justice hit a double handspring mule kick but Madison recovered and hit Justice with a between the ropes spear onto the floor. In the ring Madison an RKO and then slapped on an abdominal stretch followed by a sharpshooter but couldn’t get a submission from the challenger. Justice got back on the offensive and got an armbar submission on Madison but could not get the tap out. Madison got out of the hold but fell into a triangle choke which he tried to powerbomb his way out of but Justice refused to let go of the hold until Madison got to the ropes causing a break. Justice attempted a 450 splash but Madison stopped him and hit a super brainbuster. Madison went for a second super brainbuster but Madison blocked it and hit the 450 splash but the pin wasn’t counted as Madison had a foot draped on the bottom rope. Justice went for a spinning punch but Madison countered with a forearm to the face and a brainbuster which earned him the victory. Todd Shane and Ron Niemi came from the locker room and attacked the exhausted Madison until from the NWA FL merchandise table came the O.D.D. Jeff Bradley!!! Bradley made Shane and Niemi stop the assault and after both men trade verbal insults not able to be printed here Bradley proposed that when he and Mike Shane are 100% they settle it in the ring.
NWA Florida will be back in action in Brandon, FL on Saturday March 13th.
