9. AWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion "Slick Diddy" Ric Converse
defeated Russell Simpson by submission to retain the title (15:14)
Officials: Charles Richardson & Red Jones
Notes:
Referee Red Jones was knocked unconscious during the Yamaha/Dee
bout, and a mysterious masked figure hit the ringside area, climbed
into the ring behind Dee and dropped him with a low blow. Manager
Brad Stutts directed traffic, bringing Donnie Dollars out to the
ring to finish off Dee. Dollars destroyed the already beat down Dee,
causing a retaliation by GeeStar and Roy Wilkins, who hit the ring
with steel chairs. The masked figure hit the ring again, alongside
of Yamaha, Stutts & Dollars, and helped destroy GeeStar, Wilkins &
Dee. The masked figure, while still punching GeeStar in the face,
was unmasked by Yamaha, revealing Amber O'Neal under the silver
mask.
Russell Simpson was forced to tap out in the main event after a knee
injury near the 15 minute mark, giving "Slick Diddy" a major victory
over a AWA Japan Zero-1 competitor who competes all over the world.
Fans at the Carolina Sports Arena were at a fever pitch for both of
the final bouts. Fans desperately wanted to see Mikael Yamaha get
what he had coming, only to be disheartened by Amber O'Neal assisting
Yamaha instead.
Then in the main event the excitement was nearly uncontrollable as
Russell Simpson had promised to "rip the heart out of the Mid-
Atlantic" by winning the title and taking it back as a present for
Mr. McMahon. Thankfully Converse was able to prevail as the "King
of the Mid-Atlantic" and secured himself once again as the number
one contender to the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
--------------------------
AWA World Heavyweight Title changes hands in Japan
While Ric Converse successfully defended the AWA Mid-Atlantic
Heavyweight Title in Burlington, NC, his opponent for next week's
main event, Steve Corino, was not so lucky in Tokyo, Japan. Corino
was 2/3 the way through what he deemed his toughest three weeks of
title defenses he's ever made.
Corino was able to turn back Tully Blanchard last weekend in
Georgia. This weekend he had to fly to Japan to defend against the
#2 ranked Shinjiro Ohtani and followed that up by heading to
Burlington, NC to defend against #1 contender Ric Converse.
The task was a bit too much as Ohtani would have luck on his side
Sunday, putting Corino's shoulders down for the three count and
capturing the REAL World Heavyweight Title during the Zero-1-Max
event, "Faithfully."
Ohtani is no stranger to "puroresu" wrestling fans. He's captured
the Zero-1 annual "Fire Tournament" on two separate occassions.
Ohtani has also challenged for the AWA World Hwt. Title but had so
far come up short against both Corino and former champion Takao
Omori.
What does this mean for the #1 ranked contender, Ric Converse?
Converse is guaranteed a championship bout but the question becomes
more of a logistical one. With the new champion living in Japan,
there are quite a few legal steps to take place to be able to bring
the new champion into the country, not to mention aquiring an
international flight on short notice.
CWF Mid-Atlantic's Commissioner Cross was on the phone with AWA
President Dale Gagne and Zero-1-Max's Nakamura late Sunday
attempting to work out the necessary details in order to secure
Ohtani's presence for this Saturday night's scheduled World Title
defense in Burlington, NC.
Upon hearing about the victory by Ohtain, Mid-Atlantic Champion Ric
Converse said, "This is exactly what I was talking about last week.
You never know who you're going to be facing next week at the World
Champion. I was prepared for facing Corino, now it could be
Ohtani. That's what I'm preparing for... the unknown. The ability
to face anyone, anywhere, at anytime. That's the mark of a great
World Champion. Now all I need to do is get in the ring with the
World Championship on the line, whether it be Steve Corino or
Shinjiro Ohtani, you better believe that Slick Diddy will be ready!"
As soon as we have more information, it will be announced via our
online newsletter and at cwfmidatlantic.com

wrestling legend Nick Bockwinkel presenting Ohtani with the title
belt can be found at the following link:
