Portland Wrestling Uncut T.V. recap - 4/20/13

-The show opens with Colt Toombs and Patrick Large outside the TV Studio egging the Grappler's car as he drives in. Grappler and the scabs head into the building and are met by a NO SCABS sign. They tear it up and head in anyway. Rebels.

-Joe V interviews the Grappler and THE SCABS. Grappler says they are REPLACEMENT WRESTLERS, not scabs. Grappler says his guys are tough and not whiners and babies like the Portland Wrestling regulars. Mr. Ooh La La interrupts, complete with sweet French music. He offers Grappler a bright colorful mask as an upgrade from the drab colors he's been wearing for fifty or sixty years. Grappler is pissed. Ooh La La suggests Grappler see an anger management specialist. Bubba Blanchard comes out and challenges one of Grapplers SCABS. Grappler sends in Eric Baeden, who wrestles for the WCWC out of Salem, and currently holds their tag team title with Cedric the Hitman.

-Match #1
Eric Baeden defeated Bubba Blanchard by DQ when Bubba refused to break a choke. Brickhouse Barretta (a scab), who I have seen on DOA shows, runs in for the save. Jeremy Blanchard comes out and we have an IMPROMPTU TAG TEAM MATCH. Teddy Long would love this. After a commercial break, we return to Barretta and Baeden double teaming Jeremy. No clue where Bubba went, but he eventually returns with Big Ugly for the save. All the scabs attack the Blanchards and Ugly, BUT THE LIGHTS GO OUT. When they come back on ROWDY RODDY PIPER IS IN THE RING! Piper cleans house with a kendo stick. Piper basically tells the regulars to quit being bitches and fight the scabs. He makes a battle royal for the main event with the winner getting a shot at Big Ugly's title. Piper says he will give the Grappler and his scabs a war.

-Match #2
Mike Santiago defeated Patrick Large by holding the ropes for leverage during the pinfall
I guess the strike is over now because this match was with two of the regular PWU guys

-Joe V interviews PNW champ Big Ugly. He says he loves Portland and comes here by choice. He isn't from the area, but has been coming up from California for the last 12 years. He says he will take the belt all over the country and defend it against everyone. He buries Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and says the guys from PWU are the best.

-Match #3
Exile won the #1 contender Battle Royal, last eliminating the Blanchard Brothers.
The other participants were Patrick Large, Colt Toombs, Eric Right, CJ Edwards, Bubba Blanchard, Jeremy Blanchard, Devon Divine, Brickhouse Barretta, Demarcus James, Eric Baeden, Avarice, El Phoenix, Ricky Gibson, Buddy Highway, Exile, Ethan HD, Thunder, Dr. Kliever, Mike Santiago, Mr. Ooh La La, and a guy in a Rey Misterio mask, whose name I didn't hear because Joe V and Josh Wilcox decided to TALK OVER THE RING ANNOUNCER while he was introducing the wrestlers. It was funny because they joked about him not having a name, even though the ring announcer very clearly said a name, we just couldn't hear it because they were talking.

-Joe V interviewed Exile and the Grappler. There are problems between Grappler and Exile. Hopefully Exile rethinks this babyface turn, because he is a terrible promo and needs Grappler to talk for him.

This was a very overwhelming show. Lots going on. I'm not a fan of the whole scabs vs. PWU guys feud, but it is cool to see some different local guys getting T.V. time.
