PEACHSTATE WRESTLING ALLIANCE - 2017-11-25 - Villa Rica, GA
Peachstate Wrestling Alliance November 25th, 2017 Event
THANKSGIVING TURMOIL
Thanksgiving Turmoil was Peachstate’s final show of the year, and they save the best for last on multiple levels.
A packed house was treated to Peachstate’s best show of the year. Every match worked. Every segment was entertaining. Any major Peachstate event worth its salt has at least one captivating swerve. PWA outdid themselves at Turmoil.
The success of Turmoil did not come easily. Changes had to be made to two of the undercard matches due to short notice cancellations by talent. Less than two weeks before the show, the venue had to be shifted to the Villa Rica Civic Center because the VFW Fairgrounds was double booked.
Attendance was standing room only. Other than a slightly low ceiling, the Civic Center was fine. The smaller, tightly-packed room added to the intensity.
PWA No Limits Champion AC Mack called out Jimmy Rave and got David Ali instead. As soon as Ali introduced himself, the fans started chanting his name. Mack said he would count to five. If Ali was still there, Mack would show him why he was the champ. Mack never got past two. Ali hit Mack with a powerdrive back suplex and pinned him. Ali was announced as the new champion with the crowd in a frenzy. Mack said it wasn’t official because the bell never rang (true). Ali welcomed a redo.
(1) David Ali defeated AC Mack to retain the PWA No Limits Championship in 7:30.
Ashton Starr informed Beautiful Bald Besties that Lynch Mob weren’t there, so he and his bestie would gladly challenge them for the titles. Zac Edwards said since Besties were six time champions, Lynch Mob figured why show up? He accepted “sweetheart’s” challenge.
(2) Beautiful Bald Besties (Michael Stevens & Zac Edwards) defeated Ashton Starr & Will Kaution to retain the PWA Tag Team Championship in 9:21.
(3) Hair vs. Commissionership: Matt Gilbert (with Triston Michaels) defeated Shane Noles (with Terry Hudgins) in 8:06. Triston is the new PWA Commissioner. Gilbert’s intensity and attitude were perfect here. Shane got a taste of Gilbert’s lethal feet. Spinebuster by Noles and both were down. Triston and Hudgins both got on the apron. While referee Mason Pike was dealing with Triston, Noles blasted Hudgins with brass knucks and laid down for Gilbert.
Disillusionment reigned. Noles and Triston hugged. Triston kicked Gilbert in the nuts and Noles laid Gilbert out with a piledriver. Hudgins was out cold. Triston delighted in the moment and baited the crowd with his sickening smirk. Noles danced like an asshole. Shane gave Triston a ride on his shoulders. It was totally, wonderfully disgusting and excessive. Most fans hated on Triston and Shane as they departed but a few were loving it.
(4) Pandora defeated Brooklyn Creed to win the PWA Women’s Championship in 7:58. Pandora retires as the champion. Brooklyn came out to Pandora’ music wearing a Pandora style mask. What a bitch. Pandora won it with a DDT off the ropes. The pop was tremendous.
Postmatch - Brooklyn shoved the title into Pandora’s hands and pouted her way to the back. Not breaking character was the right choice. Crowd was on their feet applauding as Pandora circled the ring saying her final, poignant goodbyes.
(5) Kevin Blue defeated Champion Austin Theory and Tyson Dean and Sal Rinauro to regain the PWA Heritage Championship in a fatal four way by pinning Theory at 16:58. One by one, Rinauro applied the stretch muffler to all three opponents, eventually settling on Dean. Meanwhile, Blue hit the Air Raid Crash on Theory to score the pinfall. Rinauro heard the bell and thought Dean had tapped. Sal was in shock when Blue was announced as the new champion. Great match. All the moving pieces were in synch.
Postmatch - Sal was an emotional wreck. Blue lorded the belt over him.
(6) AJ Steele defeated Logan Creed (with Bill Behrens) in a streefight with former PWA Heritage Champion Tommy Too Much as the special referee (21:17).
Behrens gave Logan a bag of something to dump on the mat. Much to their dismay, the bag was filled with Steele’s beloved gummy bears. Steele had the bag with the thumbtacks.
Steele gave Logan a belly to belly suplex into the tacks. Logan was in agony with tacks sticking out of his back. Steele then gave Logan the Steele City Bomb into the gummy bears for the 1-2-3 and the pop of the night.
Match was about as violent as they come. The beauty was the way the action got progressively more psychotic building to a peak at the end. The gummy bear finish was a brilliant touch. Despite the foreshadowing of shenanigans, T2M called it right down the middle.
Postmatch – Tommy called Steele back into the ring to shake and raise his hand. Steele pulled Logan up out of the gummy bears and extended his hand. Behrens screamed at Logan not to do it. Logan accepted the handshake. Behrens berated Logan and smacked him. Logan gave Behrens his full nelson face plant finisher into the gummy bears. It looked great. Behrens took the move better than the majority of Logan’s opponents have.
