PWL House Show Results - January 31, 2000.

FROM THE PWL PLINKO HALL IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

• The show began with J.J. STERNBUTT, FAT ALBERT, and THE NEW ORDER in the ring, braying that they have found a mysterious masked foe to destroy THE TERROR once and for all. They introduce said foe, who comes to the ring, yet says nothing. Terror and his friends watch from the dressing room, laughing at and mocking the in-ring action.
• The first match of the evening sees Women's World champion DARK ANGEL successfully defend her title, pinning ALICE THE GOON in 3:27 following a running powerbomb. After the bout, Angel brawled with URSA back to the dressing room.
• In the next bout, long-reigning Midgets' World champion CAP'N CRUNCH continued his PWL domination, making NONAGONCITO submit to a Crunchface tap-out hold in 4:19. After the match, Crunch was met in the entranceway by The Terror, who wanted to talk in the dressing room.
• In a continuation of their feud, HUMAN TORNADO gained the upper hand on SETH, pinning him following a pile driver through a table. Time of this contest was 5:55.
• THE FABULOUS HORNER BROTHERS retained possesion of the North American tag titles, as they upended HAARLEM HEAT in 6:22 when Butch Horner pinned Larry Franklin. After the match, Haarlem Heat became agitated, vowing that they would never appear in the PWL again.
• In a shockingly quick match, THE PILLARS OF PAIN defeated GENERAL ZOD and NON in 47 seconds. Zod and Non were busy shouting at ring announcer GUY SMILEY when Golem and Quartz attacked. Quartz pinned Non to finish the matchup. After this, The Terror, Dark Angel, and Cap'n Crunch hit the ring and celebrated with POP. The crowd, finally getting tired of cheering The Terror, turned on the group, booing and jeering loudly.
• In their tag team debut, BILLY JO JIVE and RUFUS VAN PELT (the former Russell of Fat Albert's group) defeated BIG HEAD GUY and FAT DUDE by pinfall in 2:54. RVP ended the bout by pinning Fat Dude. BJJ and RVP were, of course, accompanied by "Sweet" SUSIE SUNSET.
• In a Three-Way Dance for the North American heavyweight championship, COOLEROY once again came out on top, this time against SKELETOR and M. KLEATS. This match, which received a standing ovation from the hardcore fans in attendance, lasted 13:22, ending as Cooleroy pinned Skeletor following a belly-to-back superplex.
• The World tag team title match was a bloody mess, as champions NC-17 and challengers THE SEXECUTIONERS brawled throughout the Plinko Hall. Chairs, tables, the bell, and even the barbed wire, which the PWL had backstage for unknown reasons, were put to use in this match. The champeens held on to the straps, as Dirk Mercury got the pin on Buck Naked in 11:29.
• As it came time for the main event, both Sternbutt's group and Terror's group were in the ring. terror shouted at the audience to shut up, as they were supposed to be cheering him, but instead now viewed Sternbutt's side as the faces. The match between World heavyweight champion THE TERROR and STERNBUTT'S MASKED MAN began. Terror made quick work of his unidentified opponent, putting on The Terror Spike, then the pin, in a match lasting only 2:14. Terror quickly unmasked the opponent, revealing him to be HOWLING MANSLAYER, star of the old ECW organization. All The President's Men entered the ring, attacking Terror to the crowd's roaring approval. Unfortunately, though, Terror, Dark Angel, Pillars of Pain, and Cap'n Crunch gained the upper hand, beating up Fat Albert, Ursa, Zod and Non, and Sternbutt, respectively. As the assault continued, however, the lights went out in the PWL Plinko Hall...
• When the lights came back on, in the ring stood GENE WEST. The fans popped big-time, but so did Terror, as he was briefly, and happily, managed by the former "Imp." Terror invited West to join in the fun, but West continued to stand in the ring, silently, with a wicked grin on his face. The Terror sensed something was happening, and as he went to confornt Gene West... yep, the lights went out again. And when they came back on this time, only two words need be said...

THE TRAIN

• THE TRAIN is back in the PWL!!! As Gene West looked on, THE TRAIN single-handedly destroyed Terror, The Pillars of Pain, Cap'n Crunch, and Dark Angel. As Sternbutt was helped up by Ursa, Gene West and THE TRAIN stood in the ring, receiving the largest pop ever given by the fans at The Plinko Hall. One by one, Fat Albert, Zod, Non, Ursa, and J.J. Sternbutt himself shook the hands of Gene West and THE TRAIN, and the show ended with all seven in the ring, with the entire building rocking with chants of "Train, Train, Train."

This was easily the biggest night in the PWL in 2000, perhaps the biggest night in quite some time. More will follow on the return of THE TRAIN on PWL ONLINE.
