Michigan Championship
Wrestling
August 2, 2002 (Flint,
MI)
643 people turned out at the IMA Sports
Arena in Flint, Michigan for this event.
I was pleasantly surprised by the event.
I had heard that MCW is full of no-shows
at every event and that it’s not
worth going to. But the doubters were
all wrong about this event as MCW put
on a tremendous show. Sabu, The Sandman,
New Jack, and Balls Mahoney, Kevin Sullivan,
& Devon "Crowbar" Storm
were all there. While Chris Candido
and Big Vito did not show up, they ended
up getting the Insane Clown Posse and
Abdullah the Butcher.
Joe E. Legend (who wrestled for a bit
in the WWF as Just Joe) beat Magnus
(Magnus is known in both IWR and NWA-Great
Lakes as Brimstone) with a Knee smash.
Note that Brimstone/Magnus is nearly
7 feet tall. He is a bit slow, but shows
a lot of potential.
Mad Dog Braxton ( Known as Yukon Braxton
in IWF, XICW, GLW, and UWA-Universal)
teamed with Disco Inferno to beat Bruce
(Alan Funk) of the Rainbow Express (from
NWA-TNA) and Anthony Rivera when Braxton
pinned Rivera with his Choke-Power Bomb
finisher (Similar to Albert’s "Baldo
Bomb").
Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger (with
Angel) beat "Alpha Male" Monty
Brown and Chris Sabin when Simon &
Swinger hit their double-team finisher
on Chris Sabin after Monty Brown was
chasing Angel around ringside.
After the match, Chris Sabin and Monty
Brown challenge Simon and Swinger to
a rematch. Simon asks the crowd, "Do
you want to see a rematch?" "You
want to see us fight one more time right
now?" Big pop from the crowd and
then Simon says, "Well you are
not going to because we’re through
for the night!"
Tracey Brooks beat Felina in a women’s
match after Dropkicking a garbage can
into her.
This was a really good match between
the women except for the end, which
they botched up.
Afer the match, Bruce of the Rainbow
Express comes back out. He says that
the women’s match was the worst
match he has ever seen. He says that
he’s not afraid to hit women and
says that next show he will have his
partner Lenny Lane with him and they
challenge the two women.
Tracey Brooks then comes out and Bruce
starts walking away. On behalf of the
two women Tracy accepts the challenge.
Abdullah the Butcher beat New Jack
and The Sandman in a 3-Way Hardcore
Match. This match was quite extreme
with a lot of brutality and big spots
such as Sandman suplexing New Jack onto
the ladder that Sandman had brought
in the ring and Sandman repeatedly hitting
New Jack and Abby with Singapore cane
shots. But New Jack came back with a
staple gun. After shooting staples into
the crowd, New Jack stapled Sandman
in the groin. Abby came back and started
carving Sandman with his fork, then
New Jack brought out a sickle and started
carving Abby with it. The end came after
New Jack had hit his "187"
chair shot on Sandman. Abby broke up
the count and then landed a big Elbowdrop
on Sandman, squashing him with all his
weight, and getting the 1-2-3.
Insane Clown Posse (with Rude Boy &
Esham ) beat Cpl. Robinson & "Richie
Boy" Breyer Wellington. Biggest
pop of the night may have been for ICP
as there were a lot of juggalos in the
building. ICP actually showed some decent
wrestling skills before pinning Breyer
Wellington. Note that ICP had wrestling
tights reminiscent of Sabu’s tights.
In the main event, the suicidal, homicidal,
genocidal Sabu & Devon "Crowbar"
Storm (with Shaffley) beat Balls Mahoney
& Kevin Sullivan. This match went
all over the place. Sabu hit a lot of
big spots including "Air Sabu"
in the corner and a huge dive outside
the ring, past the guardrail onto Balls
Mahoney. Balls had come back and hit
his "Nutcracker Suite" onto
a chair, but Sabu managed to kick out.
The end came after Sabu and Devon "Crowbar"
Storm placed Balls Mahoney on a table,
Sabu hit a Legdrop off the top turnbuckle
taking Balls through the table. Sabu
went for the cover, but Kevin Sullivan
made the save. Then Devon Storm went
over to Kevin Sullivan and hit a Northern-Lights
Suplex while using a chair (with Sullivan
landing on the chair) to get the win.
