Portland Wrestling Uncut T.V. recap - 5/25/13

-Show opens with the return of ROWDY RODDY PIPER after a several week absence. Piper actually plugs a HOUSE SHOW! June 14th at 212 Sports in Clackamas. He calls it the first sanctioned Portland Wrestling Uncut house show, so I'm not sure what all the other events were. I guess this is the first official one since it's the first one they are actually going to acknowledge on T.V. There will be a battle royal on the show where the winner gets a PNW title shot any time they want, presumably like money in the bank. There will also be a Piper's Pit.

-Joe V interviews SCOTTY  MAC and RAVENOUS RANDY MYERS. Joe V announces they are no longer replacement wrestlers because they have signed official PWU CONTRACTS! I have no doubt they will quickly become one of the best acts on the show. Colt Toombs and Pat Large interrupt. Everyone cuts promos on each other, they brawl, and we have an impromptu match.

-Joe V & Bubba Blanchard on PBP

-Match #1

Colt Toombs & Pat Large defeated Ravenous Randy Myers & Scotty Mac when Toombs pinned Myers by reversing a bodyslam into a roll-up

Toombs is still incredibly green but he's very athletic, so I think he could be pretty good once he gets some experience. It's a shame he only works on the PWU shows, because there are a ton of indies in the Northwest he could be working on to gain experience, rather than only wrestling a few matches a month.

-Joe V interviewed Eric Right. He introduces his new personal trainer, a lady named Valentine. She's not Chyna or anything, but she's got guns.

-Match #2 - June 14th Battle Royal Qualifier

Eric Right defeated Demarcus James with a roll-up and handful of tights after James missed a fist drop off the top rope

-Joe V interviewed THE REPLACEMENT WRESTLERS. Jonas Albert Robinson complains about only the contracted wrestlers being on the June 14th show. He challenges anyone in the locker room to face them so they can win a match and earn a contract. Mike Santiago comes out and says he will face one of the replacement wrestlers tonight. Jorel Nelson steps up and we have a match.

-Match #3 - June 14th Battle Royal Qualifier

Mike Santiago defeated Jorel Nelson with the Lethal Weapon aka the Roaring Elbow

-The Grappler and Exile cut a promo for the June 14th show. Exile wants to face Ugly alone and tells Grappler not to get involved. Grappler says he's carried Exile far enough, so he agrees to let him go it alone.

-Joe V interviewed PNW champ Big Ugly. He's pissed off about the scabs beating up Joe V a few weeks ago. He says he will beat them up next time he sees them. Man, if he had only come out a segment earlier.

-Match #4 - PNW Heavyweight Championship

Exile defeated Big Ugly (c) to win the title with a splash off the top rope

Prior to the finish, the Grappler kicked Ugly in the head with his LOADED BOOT. Exile didn't see it, and splashed Ugly for the win.

There will be no new episode next week due to Rose Festival coverage. The show returns June 8th.

With the replacement wrestler storyline pretty much over, and the added direction of building to the house show, this show was a huge improvement over the last couple months. Good stuff.

Portland Wrestling Uncut T.V. recap - 5/18/13

-Show opens with Joe V surrounded by all the PWU wrestlers. A clip of one of the scabs (Kellen Raeth) punching Joe V from last week aired. Hess calls out the Grappler, who comes out and cuts a promo to set up a 6 on 6 TURF WAR for tonight's main event.

-They ran a new commercial to advertise the May 21st live event in Milwaukie. No matches announced. I think it's so lame they have a T.V. show and run a monthly house show in town, but don't use the T.V. at all to push interest in the house show.

-Joe V & XFL sensation Josh Wilcox on PBP

-Joe V interviews the Blanchard Brothers. These guys are promo machines.

-Match #1 - PNW Tag Team Championship
The Blanchard Brothers (c) defeated Scotty Mac & RAVENOUS Randy Myers by DQ
Mac attacked Ooh La La at ringside and took one of the title belts, which he used to KO both Blanchards. Bubba juiced. I'm hoping this result means Mac and Myers are going to be regulars. Myers does a comedy shtick, complete with really exaggerated bumping, and holds the prestigious distinction of being my FAVORITE WRESTLER !

-Joe V interviewed the Hobo, who may be a scab, but is a total babyface.

-Match #2
The Hobo defeated Dillon Divine with a sidewalk slam out of a backdrop
A great spot saw Hobo pull down his suspenders ala Jerry Lawler, and then tune up the band ala Shawn Michaels, but he was stomping both feet and Joe V called it tuning up the jug band.

-Match #3
DOA champ Dr. Kliever defeated THE GRESHAM SAVIOR Buddy Highway with a double handed chokeslam

-FLASHBACK with Don Coss featured highlights of Beetlejuice (Art Barr) vs. Col. DeBeers. Referee (and wrestler) Joey Jackson stole the show with his tremendous permed mullet

-Interview with PNW champ Big Ugly via SKYPE. He will be back next week to put his belt on the line against Exile. He doesn't blame Exile for giving him a concussion, and says he would have done the same to Exile.

-Joe V interviewed Exile & the Grappler, with Grappler taking credit for teaching Exile everything he knows. Exile reveals he will be on the PWU team in the TURF WAR, which pisses off the Grappler.

-Match #4 - 12-man tag team TURF WAR
Team PWU (Exile, Wade BY GOD Hess, Thunder, Colt Toombs, Pat Large, & Mike Santiago) defeated Grappler's Replacement Wrestlers (Kellen Raeth, Jonas Albert Robinson, Hot Hands Mendoza, Demarcus James, Jorel Nelson, & Erik Baeden) when Thunder pinned Demarcus after a Dominator

Portland Wrestling T.V. recap - 5/11/13

The show opens with the Grappler surrounded by his replacement wrestlers. Most noteable are ECCW wrestlers SCOTTY MAC and RAVENOUS RANDY MYERS. Thunder and Wade BY GOD Hess come out and Thunder starts shoving the scabs. Things calm down and Grappler challenges them to face four of his guys in a handi-cap match tonight. Mike Santiago comes out next and cuts a promo challenging any of the scabs or PWU wrestlers. Colt Toombs comes out and our opening match is set after a commercial break.

Joe V and Josh Wilcox on PBP. Wilcox does a good job, so I'm glad this has seemingly become the regular announce team.

Match #1
Colt Toombs defeated Mike Santiago by DQ when Demarcus James attacked Toombs just as he had Santiago locked in an armbar. Jorel Nelson and Jonas Albert Robinson join the attack on Toombs. Santiago walks off, allowing the scabs to triple team Toombs. Pat Large runs in for the save and helps Toombs clear the ring.

Joe V interviews Eric Right and Hot Hands Mendoza prior to their match

Match #2
Hot Hands Mendoza defeated Eric Right with a double arm DDT

Joe V interviewed THE BOXCAR SUPERSTAR - THE HOBO from Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. Oh man, this guy is awesome. I suggest you look him up on youtube.

PNW champ Big Ugly cut a promo via SKYPE. He is getting over a concussion and will be back on PWU as soon as he is cleared.

Match #3
Ravenous Randy Myers & Scotty Mac defeated Derek Drexl & Erik Baeden when Mac pinned Drexl after a super kick

Joe V interviewed Mac & Myers. Mac mentions his prior run in Portland Wrestling for Frank Culbertson's promotion when he was pushed as the star of the promotion. Mac says when you want the best wrestlers you look north to Canada. This brings out the Blanchard Brothers and Mr. Ooh La La who issue a challenge for a tag team title match next week.

Match #4
Thunder & Wade BY GOD Hess defeated Kellen Raeth, Causmo, Pugsly, & Jorel Nelson in a handi-cap match when Hess pinned Raeth

Joe V interviewed the replacement wrestlers in the ring after their loss. Raeth punched Joe V, which caused a huge brawl between the PWU wrestlers and the scabs. Show ends with all the wrestlers brawling in the ring.

Portland Wrestling Uncut T.V. recap - 5/4/13

-Joe V opens the show reviewing footage of last week's match between Exile and Big Ugly. He reveals Ugly suffered a concussion in the match and will be out for several weeks, but when he returns he will face Exile in a rematch. Exile starts to cut a promo, but the Grappler interrupts. He takes credit for getting Exile the rematch. Joe V says tonight the PWU wrestlers will face the scabs, and Exile will face scab Erik Baeden. Joe V asks Grappler who's corner he will be in, but Grappler won't answer.

-Joe V and XFL Superstar and former PNW champ Josh Wilcox on PBP

-Match #1
Azul Angel (PWU) def. Rock'n Ricky Gibson (scab) with a hurricanrana off the top rope
You may have forgotten who Azul Angel is, but he was the masked guy who helped out Gabriel Iglesias back before all the strike nonsense began.

-Joe V interviews Pat Large & Colt Toombs. Large says he has removed the captain logo off his arm because he and Toombs are equals now. He says they are united against the scabs who are taking food off their table. I somehow think Colt's okay. Having Roddy Piper for a dad should mean you will never go hungry. They rock, paper, scissor to see who will wrestle first and Large wins. Toombs then suggests that whoever takes the longest to win tonight has to buy the drinks. Large agrees but adds that if he wins the fastest, Toombs has to buy the drinks AND bring his sister.

-Joe V attempts to interview scab Dillon Divine, who acts all weird but never speaks.

-Match #2
Pat Large (PWU) defeated Dillon Divine (scab) with a small package
Joe V mentioned during the match that Grappler was bringing in scab wrestlers from Canada and Hollywood as soon as next week.

-Backstage, Grappler gives Erik Baeden a pep talk for his match with Exile

-Joe V interviews Gentleman George Michael & Demarcus James. Joe is confused why George is with James, since George is in PWU while James is a scab. George says he is independent of either group, and will be in James corner because he hates Colt Toombs.

-Match #3
Colt Toombs (PWU) defeated Demarcus James (scab) with a roll up
At one point, George and James were attacking Toombs outside the ring. James was going to ram Toombs into the announce desk, but Wilcox broke it up and prevented George from hitting Toombs with the ring bell. After the match, Toombs KO'd George with the Superman Punch, and gave Wilcox props over the mic.

-Don Coss introduced the FLASHBACK segment. Frank Bonnema is interviewing Matt Borne and Steve Regal. Regal attacks Borne and tears off his suit, leaving him in his pink underwear and cowboy boots, which caused Bonnema to crack up.

-Joe V interviews Jonas Albert Robinson & Jorel Nelson. Robinson says he and Nelson aren't scabs, they are opportunists. They call out the Blanchards.

-Joe V interviews the Blanchards and Mr. Ooh La La. They would be the best heel act in the promotion if they weren't babyfaces.

-Match #4
PNW tag team champs the Blanchard Brothers (PWU) defeated Jorel Nelson & Jonas Albert Robinson (scabs) when Bubba pinned Nelson after a Sleeper Suplex

-Backstage, Grappler gives Exile a pep talk for his match with Baeden. That dastardly Grappler is playing both sides.

-Match #5
Exile (PWU) defeated Erik Baeden (scab) with a spear
After the match, Grappler celebrated Exile's victory.

A clean sweep for PWU against the scabs, but they are debuting new scabs next week
