Portland Wrestling Uncut T.V. recap - 3/23/13

-Show opens with Roddy Piper and PNW champ Big Ugly heading to the ring. Piper says nobody will be cutting Ugly's mic this week and he'll be in the control booth to make sure of it. Ugly talks about buying his own plane ticket to come to the shows, and then being talked into staying to do the house shows for free. I think Ugly may be @indieswrestler. Ugly calls out the promoter so he can kick his ass. Coss points out this never happened to Don Owen. Maybe it would have if Austin vs. McMahon had been big in his era.

-Joe V interviews the Blanchards and Mr. Ooh La La. Jeremy accuses Ooh La La of stealing his pay days. Bubba continues the Ugly trend that they wrestle for the fans not for money. Maybe he's @indieswrestler. Also, they are heels so why are they playing to the fans? Or are they babyfaces, but their manager is a heel? I thought Jeremy was a face, but Bubba was a heel because he hired Ooh La La. I'm so damn confused.

-Match #1

PNW tag champs the Blanchard Brothers defeated Ethan HD and Eric Right when Jeremy pinned HD after a Canadian Destroyer

-Backstage, Piper breaks up the Pat Large/Colt Toombs tag team so they can raise the bar and learn to wrestle as singles. He books Toombs and Large in singles matches. Large mouths off about his opponent, so Piper changes it to Buddy Highway, who has a big weight advantage over Large. After Piper leaves, Large asks Toombs if Piper's having a bad day, which causes Toombs to grab him by the throat and warn him not to talk about his dad. Seems like a bit of an overreaction by Colt.

-Match #2

Colt Toombs defeated Quiz after a Superman Punch

-Joe V interviewed Patrick Large. He says he's been screwing up a lot today because in the matter of 12 seconds he pissed off Piper and Colt and hopes his opponent Buddy Highway isn't mad at him too. He says he will take Colt's advice and man up.

-Match #3

Patrick Large defeated Buddy Highway by DQ when CJ Edwards interfered. Colt Toombs ran in for the save and he and Large cleaned house on Highway and Edwards.

-Backstage, Joe V interviews Roddy Piper and Terry Emerret (sp) who I assume is a sponsor since they plug his new state of the art athletic facility, 212 Sports. Joe V teases running shows there instead of the studio so they could have more fans in attendance. This was a terrible advertisement, because they didn't even say where the athletic complex was located, and the name was only mentioned via a graphic on the screen.

-Joe V interviews Big Ugly, who again complains about not getting paid. He calls out the promoter Pete Schweitzer, who reluctantly makes his way out. He says since Ugly's big complaint is not getting paid, he's going to fix the problem by giving $500 to the next guy to come out and get his title belt back for him. Mike Santiago comes charging out and we have a title match.

-Match #4 - PNW Championship Match

PNW champ Big Ugly defeated Mike Santiago with a modified spinning neckbreaker

-Backstage, Piper is talking to Exile about being slapped around by the Grappler. He explains that when he was a kid, when he had trouble with his dad, he used wrestling as an escape. Now he puts up with Grappler's crap so he can be an escape for fans. Piper suggests that someday he slap Grappler back. Exile says he will eventually pay Grappler back with interest.

-Joe V interviews Thunder and Wade Hess. They have papers taped on their shirts and trunks that say YOUR AD HERE. Hess says they will sell ads as a way around the promoter not paying them. 

-Match #5

Wade BY GOD Hess & Thunder defeated Exile & Dr. Kliever when Hess pinned Kliever after the Grappler accidentally hit Kliever with his loaded boot

Hess got busted open, so they blurred his head until he covered it with a bandana. After the match, all the wrestlers got in the ring and chanted "we're not gunna quit."

I really hate this evil promoter angle so far. Imagine if your friend worked in a store and his boss wasn't paying him, but he went to work every day because he cared about the shoppers. You'd think that guy was a moron. That's how I feel about the wrestlers every time they say they aren't getting paid but keep wrestling for the fans. I don't want to watch a show where I think the main characters are all idiots. It's also weird that all the wrestlers seem to be turning face.
