DETAILED RESULTS FROM THOMASVILLE, NC
CWF Mid-Atlantic debuted in Thomasville, NC this past Saturday night
with "Explosive Elements," headlined by the finals of the inaugural
Johnny Weaver Cup tournament! It was a thrilling night of action,
engulfed by a highly enthusiastic standing room only crowd. The
evening kicked off with the two semifinal matches in the Johnny
Weaver Cup, featuring the Final 4! The Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight
champion "Slick" Ric Converse, with "Special K" Krissy Vaine by his
side, was able to put away the tournament surprise, Jesse Ortega, by
the skin of his teeth (and more accurately, the blood from his mouth
that Ortega busted during the contest).
Converse's final round opponent would turn out to be none other than
longtime rival "Dangerous E" Corey Edsel who pinned GLCW Canadian
Heavyweight champion (and Toronto representative of the Weaver Cup)
Quinson Valentino. However, Edsel would limp back to the dressing
room following an injury to his leg during the course of the bout.
With the Cup Finals set, the attention was turned towards the rest
of the top stars of the Mid-Atlantic territory. "Tremendous" Trent
Wylde answered "Red Hot" Tim Blaze's 5:00 challenge, but would go
down in defeat in under three minutes.
CWF Mid-Atlantic welcomed back one of the superstars from Ring of
Honor, Matt Stryker, as he scored a pinfall over Brad Attitude in a
tremendous scientific matchup. After the bout, Stryker offered the
customary ROH handshake of respect which Attitude accepted, much to
the dismay of Trent Wylde, who voiced his disapproval over
Attitude's sportsmanship.
Up next was huge 8-man action as J-Money, Kid Justice, and the Mid-
Atlantic Tag Team Champions American Steel Ninja and Brass Munkey
defeated Xsiris, Mid-Atlantic TV Champion Mikael Yamaha, Sean
Powers, and Mitch Norris (with Brad Stutts in their corner) when Kid
Justice scored the biggest win of his career, pinning the TV
Champion Yamaha. Moments earlier, Amber O'Neal had gained some
measure of revenge against Yamaha, low-blowing him, leaving him
incapacitated for Justice's flying bodypress. GeeStar followed up
the actions of Amber by giving Brad Stutts one for good measure as
well during a wild brawl that provided an all-too-brief preview of
the 4th Annual CWF Rumble that is just three weeks away.
Commissioner William L. Cross conducted a touching ceremony,
inducting Johnny Weaver into the Mid-Atlantic Hall of Fame to a
standing ovation. Don & Rocky Kernodle also presented Weaver with a
Lifetime Achievement Award themselves. Weaver and Kernodle thanked
the fans for their support and thanked Commissioner Cross for
carrying the torch to keep the "Mid-Atlantic Tradition" alive.
Don & Rocky Kernodle then returned to the ring , seeing action, as
they defeated the duo of Garry "Madd Trucker" Stevens and Rob "the
Bull" McBride (with Tim Blaze in their corner). The crowd went
nearly blew the roof off of the building at the end of the bout as
Don, Rocky, and even Johnny Weaver all locked their opponents
into "Weaverlock" for the victory!
The finals of the Johnny Weaver Cup Tournament developed into
another tremendous chapter in the history of the Ric Converse-Corey
Edsel wars. After all of the classic matches, including a
2003 "Match of the Year" award at last year's "Explosive Elements,"
they once again found themselves standing across the ring from one
another with arguably the highest stakes ever. Edsel was still
somewhat incapacitated from the leg injury earlier in the night
which Converse took full advantage of. Both Krissy Vaine and Trent
Wylde attempted to interject into the action, which brought
estranged Dynasty member Brad Attitude back out, who took a seat
amongst the ringside fans. During a frantic conclusion to the bout,
Converse attempted to use the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Title belt at
which point Attitude stepped in the path of a charging Converse and
Edsel, only to take the blow himself. The impact was so violent that
it actually bent the a corner of the Virginia plate and gashed into
Attitude's forehead, leaving him a bloody mess as he lay collapsed
outside of the ring.
Converse's attention was diverted for that one-second that Edsel
needed, as he hooked Converse from behind and delivered a crushing
backdrop driver that implanted Converse's head into the canvas. A
three-count later and Corey Edsel was the inaugural Johnny Weaver
Cup winner! As Converse, Wylde, and Vaine walked past their bloody
teammate in the "Dynasty," the tournament trophy was presented to
Edsel by Johnny Weaver, in a moment that Edsel called "the greatest
of his career."
Fans from all over North & South Carolina attended this special
night and we want to thank them for their support and the many well
wished we received from first time fans in attendance.
Don't forget, Sept. 18th marks the 4th Annual CWF Rumble! 30
