Portland Wrestling Uncut T.V. recap - 12/29/12

-Show opens with Rowdy Roddy Piper at Harvey's Comedy Club.  He promptly brings Joe V out dressed in a ridiculous elf outfit.  Piper runs off to prepare for his one man show, while Joe V introduces the new commissioner of PWU, Barry Kolin, who google tells me is the owner of Harvey's.  Kolin promises the championship situation will be settled tonight.

-Don Coss and the Governor Wilson Kain open the show from the arena

Match #1 - Tag Team Title Tournament
DeMarcus James & Caden Matthews def. Gentleman George & Eric Right when James pinned Right after he was distracted arguing with George
The Gov was sure to point out that Caden once appeared as a job guy on a Smackdown taping.  I really hate when indy guys constantly brag about doing TV jobs for WWE because it comes off so bush league.  Buddy Wayne, Michelle Starr, Ed Moretti, Bart Sawyer, and so on and so on did TV jobs for WWF and WCW and I'm pretty sure they never talked about them as career highlights.

-Back at Harvey's we get a clip of Piper's one man show, telling a story about Andre the Giant

-Flashback: THE BREAKFAST CLUB! A memorable moment when Grappler and Nord beat Brian Adams up with milk and cereal.  Totally serious.  Youtube it.

-Joe V interviews Colt Toombs.  His dad is protective.  He doesn't like it.

-Back on stage at Harvey's, Kolin announces Daivari is in fact the PNW Heavyweight champion.  Daivari claims his belt, says everyone in Portland sucks, and is on his way.

-A Roddy Piper comedy sketch aired, from some sort of Canadian TV show, or web site.  Not sure.  I didn't think it was that funny.  My wife laughed.  I just thought Piper's sweater looked comfortable as hell.

-The Gov interviews the Blanchard Brothers

Match #2 - Tag Team Title Tournament
The Blanchard Brothers def. Buddy Highway & C.W. Bergstrom when Jeremy pinned Highway after the Memphis Showboat, which is Jeremy clothes-lining their opponent into a German Suplex by Bubba.
The announcers point out that Bergstrom was the last legit PNW champ in 1992.  If you ignore every other promotion in the last 20 years, including DOA which has a PNW champ, who was in this match (Jeremy Blanchard).

-The Grappler hates holidays

-Back on stage, Piper introduces a really well done video on Thunder, which has aired before.  He then brings Thunder on stage to present him with the appropriately named Thunder Award, which is for courage and performance far above the level expected.  Daivari interrupts the festivities, but all the wrestlers prevent him and Thunder from fighting.  During the commotion, Santa Claus steals Daivari's belt.  When Daivari tries to stop him, Santa kicks his ass.  WHO THE HECK WAS SANTA?!?!?! Joe V says we'll find out next week.
