Covina, CA

Damage Control

The new tandem of Kilbourn & Riot made their debut tonight, and they had their work cut out for them against the imposing force of Doomsday. The match began with an vicious exchange of shoulder blocks between Darkside and Kilbourn. No matter how hard he tried, Darkside could just not take the big man down. Instead, it was Darkside who fell to the mat after Kilbourn threw a massive block of his own. Kilbourn would later tag in his high flying cruiserweight partner Markus Riot. While Doomsday regrouped on the outside, Riot would not wait, so he attempted a flying crossbody to take them out. This plan backfired as Doomsday caught Riot in Mid-Air. Without giving them time to think, the massive Kilbourn hurled his body from the ring apron towards the entire group, sending all four men crashing to the ground! Back in the ring, Riot finished the job by executing a 450 splash and pinning Darkside for the victory! After the match, as Riot celebrated, an angry Darkside grabbed Riot and gave him a vicious splash mountain bomb in the center of the ring. Interestingly, his partner Ron Kilbourn looked on and did nothing, as he left his partner to be dismantled at the hands of Doomsday.

Winner: Ron Kilbourn & Markus Riot

Liger Rivera is a two-time former Cruiserweight Champion and was formerly the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion at 148 days. Joey Harder took that title too, because as of February 24, he has held the Cruiserweight title for a consecutive 155 days and counting. Since making his return to the EWF in January, he has had his sights set on regaining Cruiserweight gold. After climbing the ranks Liger would finally get his shot at the vicious young current Cruiserweight Champion. The two took each other to the limit, first with extensive mat work that played right into Harder’s strength, as he managed to ground the high-flying Rivera for a short period of time. That would not last for long, as Liger was able to execute a Hurricanrana to send Harder to the outside. A stunned Harder managed to regain his composure and delivered a massive powerbomb to Rivera on the concrete floor. The two battered opponents slugged it out and made their way to the Covina stage near the announce table. Harder managed to grab Liger and hurl him about 8 feet from the stage to the ring. He then went to finish the job with a flying double axehandle from the top of the stage, but Liger caught him in mid-air with a standing dropkick. It appeared as Liger was going to regain the title, but Harder kicked out of his pin. He then got up and executed a schoolboy rollup, with a blatant handful of tights, situated perfectly so the ref could not see.

Winner and still Cruiserweight Champion: Joey Harder

Post match: Dan “The Man” Kobrick’s Music filled the air. He made his way toward the ring and demanded that Commissioner Mando Guerrero start Harder's match over since he cheated to win. He felt that he was being singled out by the commissioner so the same rules should apply to all superstars, not just him. He also demanded that his previous loss be reversed from three shows prior, at Zero Tolerance. Mando then made his way to the ring and stated that Harder’s win would not be reversed, and neither would Kobrick’s loss as both were in the record book – permanently. An irate Kobrick stormed out of the ring, stating that he was not finished with the commissioner.

Aaron made his way to the ring with his manager, El Jefe. The match would begin with everything but the kitchen sink, as Aguilera, formerly known as the “Hardkore Kid,” brought plenty of toys to play with. The two laid into each other exchanging clubbing blows, when Syrus picked up a “BUMP” street sign and smashed it over the head of the champion. The champion countered and was unrelenting, smashing a snare drum over the head of Syrus, completely destroying it. Aguilera pummeled Syrus with everything he had, including a framed picture of Jesse Hernandez! El Jefe interjected himself into the match, as Aguilera held Syrus while El Jefe repeatedly punched him in the stomach. The match ended as El Jefe and Aguilera double chokeslammed Syrus through a table. Hardcore rules, falls count anywhere, as Aguilera pins Syrus on the broken table to retain the EWF World Title.

Winner and still EWF World Champion: Aaron Aguilera

Post Match: Mando Guerrero made his way to the ring to present the EWF World Title to Aguilera. As Aaron left, Dan Kobrick and Joey Harder stormed the ring together! The two began a ruthless beat down of Commissioner Mando. Who should appear from the back to make the save? None other than his brother, “The Classic Legend” Chavo Guerrero! Chavo rushed the ring and chased off Kobrick and Harder. Mando got on the mic, and called out Kobrick and Harder. Kobrick began crying again about his loss to Maximo. Mando stated that if he and Harder could defeat him and his brother, then the loss would be stricken from the EWF record books. He then signed Dan “The Man” Kobrick and Joey Harder versus Los Guerreros Senior for March 12!

The awesome power of The Plague was on display yet again in this entertaining match up. Of course, Johnny Starr made his way to the ring with his entourage of EWF American Champion Vizzion and his attorney, J. Terex III. Plague would have his way with Martin as he pressed him 5 times over his head! He sent Martin crashing to the mat. In what seems to be a regular occurrence, Attorney Terex once again was involved with an altercation with a fan. Whether by coincidence or design, this provided enough time for Vizzion to storm the ring and attempt to cheat in order to give his boss the victory. Vizzion was messing with the wrong man, as his plan backfired, and instead Plague power bombed Martin. Due to yet another distraction by a fan at ringside, Plague and Pinchek managed to pick up a countout victory over Starr & Martin.

Winners: Alex Pinchek & The Plague

This match-up was everything that could be expected from two of the most prolific young superstars on the Southern California Pro Wrestling circuit. The charismatic Tornado began the match with his signature dance moves, but Gambino would have nothing of it. The match was a see-saw battle, when Tornado landed his Tornado DDT and sent Gambino to the mat. He then set Gambino up in the corner and nailed the signature Tai-Bro! Bino could feel that he was losing control of the match, so he went for the steel chair equalizer. Tornado was climbing up to the ring from the outside, but saw Gambino’s chair shot and ducked! The chair bounced off the top rope and nailed Gambino in the head, knocking him out cold. A dazed referee Mando Vega, then made his way back into the ring, and saw the Tornado had Bino covered.

Winner: The Human Tornado
