Covina, CA

Zero Tolerance

A definite battle of the big men. The 6’4” 300+ pound luchador versus the stout 6’0” 282 pound powerhouse, Plague. Black Metal brought along his manager and mentor, the conniving Suavecito. Plague established his dominance early and often throughout the match, however Suavecito would play a part in distracting Plague. Suavecito used his signature cane to trip Plague after an Irish Whip off the ropes. This allowed Black Metal to pound Plague with clubbing blows to the back of his head. Plague would have the last laugh, as his sheer power was too much for Black Metal. With an impressive press slam, Plague left the ring victorious.

Winner: Plague

The match began as former EWF Champion Bo Cooper made his return to the EWF ring. He announced that he was proud to be back and was looking to make an impact on the EWF once again. He welcomed any and all comers and said he was willing to take on anyone. He wanted a fight and he was determined to get one. Much to the chagrin of Cooper, not one, but two imposing superstars made their way through the curtain. The recently aligned Dave the Bruiser and Darkside marched into the ring and announced that they had joined forces and were to be known as Doomsday. Their first match was now, and they wanted to make an impact by defeating a former EWF World Champion. Bo appeared ready for a handicap match, when The So-Cal Kid’s music hit. The crowd went wild at the sight of the electrifying cruiserweight. He greeted Cooper with a handshake, and the tag team match was on! The young Taylor had his work cut out for him, as Doomsday executed textbook tag team wrestling – isolating Taylor from his partner. Taylor was in Doomsday’s corner for what felt like an eternity. Bruiser and Darkside pummeled the So-Cal Kid, until a crafty swinging DDT let Taylor hobble to his corner for backup. Bo Cooper entered the ring and cleaned house. It appeared Doomsday was not faring well in their debut match. However, that would change. An irate Darkside pulled Taylor from his corner into the ring. When referee Mando Vega tried to restore order, the Bruiser pushed him away. Vega inserted himself again, and was treated to a huge fist to the Jaw courtesy of Darkside. With the ref unconscious, it appeared Doomsday was on the road to victory. When Vega awoke, he saw Taylor decimated, and covered by the Bruiser waiting for a three count. Vega ordered the match stopped, as he realized that Doomsday had attacked him earlier. Although they did not win, their message was clear: The tag team division is no longer safe. Doomsday had arrived.

Winner: Bo Cooper & Ryan Taylor by Disqualification

Alex Pinchek sat in the commentary booth at EWF Holiday Fear during a match featuring TJ Perkins. Alex was impressed by the young superstar, calling him, “one of the best cruiserweights in the world.” Tonight Alex would face TJ, an opportunity he welcomed. Alex said he would prove why he was one of the best in the world tonight. The two locked up and put on a brilliant five minute display of hold for hold chain wrestling. Both superstars obviously had the other scouted. Alex took control of the match, as he issued a standing vertical suplex near the ropes, sending TJ to the concrete floor. The angry Russian unleashed a fury of hard punches on the outside of the ring to TJ. He threw him into the ring, and executed a devastating modified power bomb into a back breaker. Alex appeared ready to execute a sharpshooter as he grabbed the leg of Perkins. Somehow, TJ had regained his composure and issued a perfectly executed enziguri sending the big Russian to the mat. TJ issued a powerbomb of his own and appeared ready to cover Alex for the pin. Alex reversed the pin with a rollup, and had a huge handful of ropes. Referee James Rock counted to 2 and ¾ and appeared signal a win for Pincheck. The bell was rung, and Pincheck was the winner! Rock then informed the ring announcer that his hand never fully hit three counts, and ordered the match restarted. TJ took full advantage of the breather and quickly rolled up Alex with a schoolboy, narrowly escaping with the victory. After the match, in the spirit of sportsmanship, Perkins asked for a handshake from Pinchek. The Russian Hooligan accepted and both men stood in the ring with their heads held high.

Winner: TJ Perkins

Kobrick entered the ring as cocky as ever, with the EWF Rookie of the Year trophy in tow. He left the trophy in his corner, and prepared to take on the explosive luchador, Maximo. The young luchador took it to Kobrick early, and almost had the win over Dan Kobrick, executing a huge splash from the top rope. Maximo then isolated Kobrick into his corner, which proved to be a mistake. Kobrick sneakily grabbed his cruiserweight trophy, distracted the referee, and delivered a crushing blow to the head of Maximo. To add insult to injury, Kobrick grabbed two handfuls of tights, and with the referee out of position, it appeared that he stole the victory. However, the new EWF commissioner had his eye on this match from the start. He told referee Mando Vega that the match was to be restarted. There would be no dirty wins on his watch. Kobrick complained and verbally assaulted Guerrero, which allowed just enough time for Maximo to schoolboy rollup Kobrick, and pick up a clean victory over the irate Rookie of the Year.

Winner: Maximo

Joey Harder (c) vs The Human Tornado

Once again, the charismatic Tornado entered the arena to adoring fans. The always flashy Tornado had his work cut out for him tonight, but he was ready for a taste of EWF gold. Cruiserweight Champion Joey Harder entered the ring ready for business. He attempted a test of strength with Tornado to start off the match. The always flamboyant Tornado began to play mind games with the champ, and turned the test of strength into the hip hop snake. Harder was not amused. He wanted to wrestle the Tornado, who continued to taunt the champ by challenging him to a dance contest. The champ appeared to agree, began to bust a move, and proceeded to bust The Human Tornado in the face. Harder was there for business and nothing else. After exchanging vicious chops Tornado managed to throw Harder to the outside. Tornado then executed a ridiculous suicide dive over the top turnbuckle, the corner ring post, launching his body into the cruiserweight champ. Tornado had the match in hand. He threw Harder into the ring, stood over him, and tried to finish him with a standing moonsault. Harder moved, and Tornado caught nothing but mat. A dazed Tornado rose from the mat, where the awaiting Joey Harder cinched in his Harder Driver finisher, and left the arena with gold still firmly in his grasp.

Winner and still EWF Cruiserweight Champion: Joey Harder

Triple Threat Match

Bino Gambino (c) v. Jason King vs Syrus

The champ had his work cut out for him this evening, where he could possibly lose the title without even being pinned! Syrus established his dominance early, executing a stiff spinebuster to the champ. He went to work on Jason King. The two exchanged blows, but King had the mental game in his favor. He awaited for Syrus’ huge running clothesline, and executed a quick drop toe hold to knock the big man down. Jason then went to the winded Gambino, and began to stomp him into the corner. Syrus made his way back in the ring and turned his attention to King. Gambino wisely rested and looked on, until Syrus almost scored a pin over King, but Gambino broke up the cover. He helped Jason to his feet and the two formed a quick alliance to take Syrus out of the equation. It appeared to work as King launched Gambino into Syrus, knocking him down. Jason and Bino’s partnership quickly dissolved as they went back to work on each other. King tossed Bino to the outside again, as Syrus began to enter the ring. The two exchanged vicious chops, when Syrus reversed a huge chop by Jason, he cinched him in for the standing suplex. He suplexed king over the top rope and onto the floor. Syrus continued to beat Bino down til Jason King re-entered. He sat atop the top turnbuckle that Syrus had his back to. He waited for his opportunity as Syrus whipped Gambino into that corner. King and Gambino were dazed. Syrus then grabbed BOTH superstars, one in each arm, and executed his first ever DOUBLE FINAL FALL. Syrus covered Bino first, but he kicked out. He covered King, but King kicked out too. Syrus beat King into the ground, while Bino had time to recover. With King down, Syrus turned his attention to the Champ. Gambino hit the top rope for a spinning DDT, and Syrus was down. Bino then executed a Bino-mite to Syrus, who was knocked out. King attempted to rise, but Bino hit another Bino-mite finisher and covered him for the pin.

Winner and still EWF World Champion: Bino Gambino

The Aftermath

As fans were leaving the arena, Bino instructed them not to leave. He then stated that he thought it was our loyal fans who helped him win the title, but he realized that he’s done everything for himself. He stated, “The only one to thank is me! You should thank me for letting you watch me wrestle!” Puzzled fans looked on at the champ in disgust, when a marine cadence filled the air. An imposing force entered the arena: former WWE Superstar “Jesus” – Aaron Aguilera. The 6’5” 260 pound superstar said he was there for one reason: to teach Bino a lesson. He said the title had gone to his head, so he wanted to teach Bino to respect the title, and those that came before him. Bino said the only person he respected was himself, which only infuriated Aguilera. He then informed Bino that Mando Guerrero just made his first match: Bino Gambino versus Aaron Aguilera on February 12 for the EWF World Title!
