Independent Connecticut Championship Wrestling
October 13th, 2001 at the Loomis Arena, Plainfield, CT New Ring announcer Dean Ripley announced that due to his inability to make his mandated title defense, Young Guns Champion Damian Houston forfeits the title to Tim Kilgore, who was scheduled to fight for the belt tonight. ****************************************************************** The Opening match was billed as the "20 Minute CT Title Invitational." The match would run for a full 20 minutes with every pin-fall/title change being recognized. The man holding the belt at the end of the 20 minutes would be the CT Champ. CT Champ "Heartbreaker" Ruy Batello (with Sean Gorman) faced Young Guns Champ Tim Kilgore (with JC Marxxx) and the debuting Frankie Armadillo. This match may have set a record for title changes in a night at an independent wrestling show. Here is the order of the title changes. 1) Frankie Armadillo pinned Ruy Batello. 2) Tim Kilgore pinned Armadillo. 3) Ruy pinned Kilgore. 4) Armadillo pinned Ruy. 5) Ruy pinned Armadillo. 6) Referee Pepe Sanchez pinned Ruy. 7) Manager JC Marxxx pinned Sanchez. 8) Manager Sean Gorman pinned Marxxx. 9) Armadillo pinned Gorman. 10) Referee Pee Wee Sherman pinned Armadillo. 11) Kilgore pinned Sherman. 13) Ruy pinned Kilgore. 14) Kilgore pinned Ruy. 15) Armadillo pinned Kilgore. 16) Ruy pinned Armadillo. 17) Kilgore pinned Ruy. 18) Joe Dirt ran in and rolled up Kilgore with less than 10 seconds left and fled the ring area with the CT Title as the time ran out. All title changes will count in the title history. Honestly, this was an immensely entertaining match that must be seen to believe. ****************************************************************** Next up, Commissioner MTE named Draven of the Damned as his new Deputy Commissioner and Mad Dog of the Damned as the official ICCW Spokesperson. Draven's first order of the night was to rescind the 24/7 rule on the CT Title in one instance only. Ruy Batello would not be able to directly win the title from Joe Dirt on this night. ****************************************************************** In the next match, the stiffest tag team in New England "Criminal Intent" ("Bad Boy" Billy Black and "Enforcer" Larry Huntley) faced two of the top fan favorites, Triplelicious and KL Murphy. The match was pretty exciting with the fans solidly behind Trip and Murph. Huntley and Bad Boy proved they had the strength and aggressive advantages by battering Murphy all over the ring. Finally, Murphy was able to use his athletic prowess to tag Triplelicious in, who cleaned house. Eventually, Criminal Intent came back in the ring and the match broke down into a big brawl. The referee had no choice but to rule it a no contest. After the match, Criminal Intent relentlessly beat down Trip and Murph, until ICCW Champ Chris Venom made the save. ****************************************************************** In a scheduled interview with new CT Champion Joe Dirt, it was revealed that Ruy Batello had not actually left the ringside area after the opening match, and had been hiding under the ring. He ambushed Dirt with a Ru-anizer (stunner) and went for a cover. He was reminded that he was not allowed to defeat Joe Dirt for the title. He one-upped the ICCW Officials and hit ANOTHER Stunner on Dirt, then climbed out of the ring and took the Damned Wrestling School's dummy "Stumpy" and placed it on Dirt for the three count. A stuffed dummy used for practicing high-risk moves had actually won an ICCW title. Ruy celebrated, until he realized that the dummy was the champion. He then hit the dummy with the Stunner and pinned it to regain the title (yes you read that correctly). FYI: Ruy Batello is now a 7 time CT Champion. ****************************************************************** The next match was scheduled to be an ICCW Tag Team Title match between The X3-Rated Posse (Kenn Phoenix and Kid Krazy) and The 80's Connection (Duff and Derik Destiny of NECW). Destiny was hospitalized the night before legit, so Duff was given the chance to name another partner. Instead, Duff chose to go it alone. Duff started out strong, until the champs cut him down with an illegal double team. Phoenix and Krazy beat on Duff gaining near falls. Frankie Armadillo came to ringside to begin to rally the crowd behind Duff. Kenn Phoenix missed his top rope leg drop attempt and Duff recovered as Phoenix tagged in Krazy. Duff managed to become a house of fire and knock Phoenix from the ring and then hit his finisher on Krazy. As ref Pee Wee Sherman went to count the pin, Armadillo pulled him out and knocked him out cold. Soon it was obvious that Armadillo was aligned with the Posse, eliciting a DQ win for Duff. After the match, JC Marxxx revealed that they had attacked and ousted former Posse member Craig Steele the night before and the new Posse was complete (Tim Kilgore, Kid Krazy, Kenn Phoenix formerly Lionel, and Frankie Armadillo). ****************************************************************** In a match to decide both the Eastern Wrestling Alliance Championship and #1Contendership to the ICCW Title, #1 Contender "Shooter" Adam Booker faced off with EWA Champ Dr. Heresy. Ref Pepe Sanchez was knocked out and busted open hard way by an errant title belt shot by Heresy. Booker then hit a Power bomb-Boston Crab-Pancake combo (about only thing I can describe it as). Ref Pee Wee Sherman ran out and made the three count. The crowd celebrated with Booker over his title win, until Sanchez regained his composure and disqualified him for using the belt. Booker retains his #1 Contendership, but Heresy remains EWA Champ. ****************************************************************** Mimic, a wrestler who basically rips off any other wrestling personality, rather than develop his own, came out as Stone Cold Mimic. He faced the Beast. Good comedic moments when Beast countered the mud hole stomp and Thesz Press punches by grabbing a limb and gnawing on it. Finish came after the Mimic Stunner didn't affect Beast and he slapped on his submission (combination half nelson attempting to pry a head off one's shoulders) for the win in about 4 minutes. ****************************************************************** The main event was an Anything Goes, No Count Out, No Disqualification match between "Big League" Brian Black (no relation to Criminal Intent's Billy Black) and ICCW Champion "Revolution" Chris Venom. The match began as a brawl all over the Loomis arena. The standing room only crowd had to move aside as Venom used chairs, Trash cans, sodas and even the walls as weapons. Brian fought back using his large strength advantage, ramming the champion into the ring post headfirst. The match continued going back and forth, with even a ladder being brought in by Venom and used as a weapon. Brian was able to hit his finisher (The Full Nelson Slam) as Ref Pee Wee Sherman went to get the ladder to a safe spot of the ring. He turned with a late count and Venom was able to kick out. Brian pushed Sherman, who fell but then got up and pushed Brian right back (Brian Black probably outweighs Sherman by 120 pounds). Brian didn't budge and press slammed the ref to the floor. At this point, Venom got up and hit his BTf'nR (modified T-Bone suplex) and pinned Brian for at least a 15 count. Criminal Intent then hit the ring. Huntley attended to the ref as Bad Boy fought with Venom. Bad Boy was able to counter a Venom suplex attempt and hit his "Crop duster" (reverse twisting neck breaker). Huntley rolled Sherman in the ring who counted as he saw Brian Black laying on Venom for the win. "Big League" Brian Black is the new ICCW Heavyweight Champion. Brian Black celebrated all the way to the locker room. After the match and the new champ leaving, Venom got on the mike appealing to the Commissioner MTE that he had been screwed. He was reminded of the No DQ stipulation. Venom focused his anger on taunting Bad Boy who came running out. He and venom erupted into a brawl, which Venom soon took over finally clothes lining Bad Boy from the ring. The crowd was unanimously behind the former champion as he challenged "Bad Boy" Billy Black to a grudge match at the next show.
