Ventura, CA

Hit & Run

The Atmosphere in the Majestic Theater was filled with optimistic hope and the fans were not let down, although Dan Kobrick seemed to disgruntle many of them along his way to the ring. The fans soon found a hero in Country Bear, the EWF’s big boy from the south. Now seeing as Country stands well over 6 ft tall, Kobrick was very weary to match up with the much larger opponent. For this reason, every time Kobrick would be thrown from a lock up he would leave the ring and find some way to take time to be able to get a new game plan in his head. Eventually, Kobrick found a way to start hacking down the big man and soon enough, Kobrick’s anger took over and allowed him to even the odds in this match. In the end of this match, Country had hit a powerful move to Kobrick and began to dance around in excitement. He became too excited and “belly bounced” the referee, Rick Knox, so hard that he caused the referee to fall down. While Country was helping him back to his feet, Kobrick wasted no time in capitalizing and delivering a hard low blow to Country Bear and was able to pick up a win.

Winner: Dan Kobrick

Black Metal is a man who can truly live up to his nickname, the O.C. Wrecking Machine. In the EWF, he is known for being just that. So when the EWF American Champion, Human Tornado, was unable to defend his title against the man from down under, Bobby Jo Marshall, EWF officials decided to give the open spot to the overpowering Black Metal. As the referee rang for the bell to begin the match, Marshall immediately began his showboating antics to Black Metal and the crowd. However, Black Metal wouldn’t take any harassment and showed how serious he was and began to throw the big Aussie around the ring. Eventually Marshall was able to hit a top rope Diving Elbow to knock Black Metal down and get a little bit of hope in winning this match. The end of this match came when Marshall went for an Axe Kick off the ropes but was caught with a clothesline from Black Metal followed by a Powerbomb for the win.

Winner: Black Metal

Terex has been absent from the EWF ever since the disbanding of Starr Inc., but tonight, Terex was out to prove how dangerous he could really be. His opponent for this evening would be a rookie in the EWF, Bernie Bays. Not a lot is known about Bays. One thing is for sure is that if he can last more than 5 minutes in a ring with Terrex, then his career in the EWF is off to a good start. The match began with each competitor trying to outsmart and outlast the other through a series of lockups and tests of strength. Terex overpowered Bays but Bays would soon fight back and keep himself alive, however, Terex would not let it last long as he soon gained control over Bays. In the end of this match, Bays kicked out from a Samoan Drop and was able to hit the Boomerang on Terex for the win.

Winner: "The Australian Dynamo" Bernie Bays

Brandon Nitro and Vizzion are both very familiar to the wrestling ring and the EWF, however, their opponents called Featured Attraction, Matt Flash and Mike Arsenal, are both rookies in the EWF. Though they would have a special weapon on their side or should I say at ringside, they seemed to enlist the help of the antagonizing Mad MacIintosh to make sure that their inexperience wasn’t an issue. The Match began with Vizzion and Nitro showing their talents and keeping the opposing team in their control, Nitro even hit a huge back flip over the top rope to the outside onto his opponents and at this point it seemed this watch would end early. However with the help of Mad Macintosh, Featured Attraction was able to get the ball rolling in their favor and gain control over Brandon Nitro. Featured Attraction continued to display multiple double team maneuvers and seemed to be shining bright. After Vizzion got tagged in, he started to even the odds and nearly won the match. In the end, Nitro had hit a powerful 450 Splash and if it hadn’t been for Mad MacIntosh, the match would have been over, but the match ended after Nitro attempted to suplex Mike Arsenal in from the outside. MacIntosh tripped Nitro’s feet and caused Arsenal to land on top of him and cover him for a pin while MacIntosh continued to hold his feet for the pinfall.

Winners: Featured Attraction

Ever since winning the Rookie of the Year Award for 2006, Angelas has begun trying to compete against more advanced opponents. This has not been an easy task for the EWF rookie. Ronin is no stranger to the squared circle and has been making waves through the years due to his style and reputation and, for this reason, Angelas personally requested to face the Monster from Monrovia. The match began with both men trying to strike and wrestle at the same time and it seemed to be going in Ronin’s favor until Angeles started to pick apart his left arm and focus solely on that one body part. It seemed to work until Ronin began to regain control in the match up and keep the rookie down. The end of this match came when Angles had attempted an Armbar to Ronin but Ronin broke out of it and nailed a vicious Death Valley Driver to Angelas. Angeles then rolled out of the ring and Ronin followed him. Both men began throwing a mixture of forearms and slaps and trying to fight on the outside of the ring until the referee called the match due to a double count-out. Both men had to be pulled apart by the referees in attendance.

Winner: Double Countout
