Spunk Pro November Digest

11.02 - dia de los muertos

Spunk Pro's Dia De Los Muertos show is set to be a big one, and things start off in quite a shocking manner, as a rampaging OdZ stomp out to the ring, with ZODIAK claiming that what happened at the last show was a disgrace, one that he won't stand for. He holds his Spunk Pro International Title up and tosses it down, claiming that he refuses to let Jesus X win again, and won't let him have this title stolen out from under him. He'd rather vacate it! Manakuro Marakuso comes out and takes the title from the ring and proclaims that this will not do, and tonight there will be a Battle Royale to determine who the new champion is! OdZ seem to care less about this, and more on getting their way; ZODIAK and DEMOS want Jesus X and Shogo Otsuka here tonight, and RUINER wants to toss his hat into the ring for the BR. Marakuso agrees to the terms and walks out with the title that he made famous years ago.

Ken Shields took on Tomohiro Ito in the first match, and got the better of the young Ito with his overwhelming FOOTBALL SKILLZ and hits the flying elbow for the pinfall. Shields celebrates post-match only for Bourbon to run out and attack Shields! He is going to town on Ken Shields and finally we have some officials coming out now to stop this. Lester making his way over to Druid, grabbing the mic and shouting that this is what you get when you mess with him.

What we were privvy to next was a bit hard to handle. We first cut to a pretaped segment with Joe Doe approaching La Cosa Nostra's locker room. He knocks when Zannino opens the door, letting him in. Doe brings himself to talk, as he is in the room with Zannino, Briggs, Paradigm, Bianco and a man sitting in a chair, the back turned to them. Doe says he has an issue, as Bianco goes through the proceedings, whispering to the non-visible man, then relaying the information back to Doe. Apparently, Doe needs some money for his daughter's college. Bianco talks about 'The Don' believing in education, and wishing to help Mr. Doe, but that it will mean that Mr. Doe will owe La Cosa Nostra (much like Paradigm). Doe says that he has no choice, and that he will accept. Bianco informs him that he, 'Joey Knuckles' can begin his repayment tonight -- if he can take Brad Wolf out for good, he'll be in the Don's good graces, and his fee will be considered repayed. Its a deal that he cannot refuse. Of course, he fought hard, but Brad Wolf was able to take him out, pulling out something new from the arsenal, nailing a diving spear from the top rope knocking Joey Knuckles clean out. Briggs picks up Joey Knuckles and slings him over Paradigm's shoulder, as they head to the back, Zannino grabbing the mic and telling Paradigm that the Don won't be pleased, and that he has to pick up the slack tonight and win that battle royale for the belt.

The Battle Royale is up next, to determine the new Spunk Pro International Champion.. We have quite a few competitors in the ring... Paradigm, DanDead, shaDow, RUINER, Bobo Gomez and there is room for one more, the competitors are in the ring, wondering who the next man is, when the lights go out, a red carpet rolls down as spotlights all focus on the entrance, as yes, Johnny Jett (!) comes waltzing out, grabbing a microphone and telling people that their hero is back, has been away training and is here to show the world what he is made of. This is quite a shock, as we all thought we'd never hear from him again after ducking Big T months ago after defeating him. The match was all about Paradigm fighting his heart out, trying to bring the title home to LCN, and hopefully free himself from servitude as well. Things were back and forth, every man doing his best to move on, with Paradigm holding on for dear life. Just when it looked like he had the match won, the last man in his way, RUINER goes down to the Northern Lights Suplex, he is celebrating, and Johnny Jett, from outside of the ring springboards in and dropkicks him in the back of the head, before running off of the ropes and double stomping him right in the chest, then grabbing both legs and putting him into the high angle boston crab before Paradigm passes out, refusing to tap out. Johnny Jett is the new champion, and the new champion refuses to let go, the refs having to pull him off before he finally lets go, celebrating his new championship!

Its been quite a show so far, and its not over by a longshot! Sean Gabriel locked horns with Big T next in a battle of wills that ended up with Big T on the outside, getting snake eyes'd onto the railing and hammered in the back of the head a few times, Gabriel rolling in to beat the count.

The main event saw Jesus X team up with Shogo Otsuka to take on the former tag team champions DEMOS and ZODIAK. It was as brutal as one would expect, with DEMOS pulling a surprise win over Shogo hitting that SIDS Clutch that just comes out of nowhere! Afterwards he pulls out his clippers and attempts to shave Shogo's head, only for the champ to Superkick his head off, which leads to a brawl between him and ZODIAK before they are pulled apart.

11.16

Joey Knuckles is in trouble again, as the Don has graciously given him another chance of redeeming himself. This time against the big man, Lee Stone. Lee proved to just be too strong for Joey Knuckles, hitting the Stone Crusher in record time and taking it home for a 3-count.

Now shaDow comes out, sullen and wearing a My Chemical Romance hoodie and a lip ring, Druid meets him at the desk and shaDow complains about his life a little bit, that nobody understands him. He then calls Tomohiro Ito to come out. Ito comes out, not sure what to make of this, as shaDow points to a monitor as they watch Ito get picked apart last show. shaDow tells him that nobody takes him seriously, that his life has been nothing but a disaster after disaster. He offers Ito I guess what you could call him hope, as he offers to take him in, to work together with him. Ito looks like he is considering it, like he is starting to get emotion before shaDow straight up SLAPS him. Ito just stares at his boots as shaDow walks off, Ito refusing to comment to Druid as he walks off.

The Strike Force and La Cosa Nostra conflict continued next, as Briggs, the assasin met up with Brad Wolf, former Special Ops in the Marines. All of La Cosa Nostra became involved, as Lee Stone made the save just minutes in, and this match had to be thrown out.

Johnny Jett made his way out next, wearing his newly won International Championship, and flanked by two girls of international flavor, one looking to be asian, the other of Latino descent. Druid meets up with him, as he tells the girls to stand back and let him talk, Jett claiming that he had to make his abrupt departure months ago to work on a few acting roles in Hollywood. That he also started cutting his debut album and was simply too busy to be a pro-wrestler. But now that his schedule has slowed down for the time being, he decided to grace his old stomping grounds of Spunk Pro with his face again. He said it was no surprise that he is wearing gold, as it is his color. When asked about his underhanded tactics in winning the title, he simply brushed Druid off and walked to the ring, to meet his opponent, shaDow! Well, should I say that shaDow met him. shaDow's style is that of a suicidal maniac. He simply tosses himself from inside the ring out onto Jett without a care in the world. It didn't even look like he aimed that shot, that he just DID it! The match went a lot like that, with shaDow just carelessly throwing his body around, overwhelming Jett. This forced Jett to stall a bunch, when it finally paid off, shaDow going for another death-defying move, and, well, smacking his head against the apron. Johnny Jett slaps him around a bit before rolling him back into the ring and going for the pin, only for shaDow, who surely cares little about the shape he is in kicks out! Jett looks furious as shaDow tries to spring himself off of the ropes with a dropkick, with Jett catching him and slamming him down hard with a spinebuster, holding onto his legs and turning him over into that torture crab again! shaDow is forced to pass out in this hold, and once again Jett refuses to let up until the refs pull him off and offer him his championship!

When asked how he felt about the victory, he said he felt like his celebration should have international flavor, that maybe its time for some Korean. Druid scratches his head as Jett walks off with the girls that he came out with and his title.

The semi-main saw a world famous Spunk Pro elimination tag go down, with Jesus X teaming with Paddy Baker and Ken Shields to face off against ZODIAK, Big T and Lester Bourbon. Sean Gabriel, Paddy's regular partner could not be here after being attacked with a fireball by Stuart Robinson on WILD TV. Big T met with the same fate as he did last time we saw him, being counted out, only this time he was aware, and he was FURIOUS. He made his way back into the ring, pulling his glove off and nailing Paddy Baker with a HUGE right hand. Paddy wasn't quite right after that, leaving ZODIAK to pick up the scraps and pin him with a Demon Driver. Ken Shields got the single biggest pinfall of his career right after that, as he was facing off with ZODIAK, only for Jesus X to catch ZODIAK from behind with the Savior Kick leading him into a small package from Shields, Shields picking up the huge pinfall! Lester stormed in next, and walked into a similar fate, a big enzuiguri from the champ, leading right into a Discus Punch by the Texas All-Stater for the 3-count, as Jesus X and Ken Shields have survived this big match!

This leads us to a match for the Spunk Pro Junior Heavyweight Championship. It was a hard fought match, with Shogo working over DEMOS' arm throughout, and it looked like he had this in the bag, until RUINER came at him with a pair of clippers to distract him and DEMOS hits a big German Suplex for the 3-count. OdZ attempt to shave his head afterwards, but YUSUKE makes the save. It looks like this encounter between these two sides is far from over!

1. Lee Stone (2:11 - Stone Crusher) Joey Knuckles
2. Brad Wolf (6:03 - No Contest) Rick Briggs
3. Spunk Pro International Championship: Johnny Jett(C) (18:23 - Red Carpet Rub) shaDow

Spunk Pro Oct. Digest

Its been a while, but Spunk Pro has been strong! Here is the digest form of the past month in SPUNK PRO WRESTLING~!

Oct. 12

1. Ted Zannino (2:12 - The Big Sleep(er)) Matt Cafano
2. Brad Wolf (12:05 - Wolf's Bite) Tomohiro Ito
3. Dan Sommers (:23 - Alabama Nightmare) Dick Doode
4. Ken Shields/Matt D(O) (14:56 - Swanton Bomb/Golden Elbow) Lester Bourbon/Rusty Chodes(X)
5. Spunk/Jeus X(O) (13:22 - Superkick) ZODIAK/RUINER(X)

Spunk Pro ran a house show on this eve, with the highlights being taped, with the show starting out with La Cosa Nostra in the ring, bragging about their recent win over Strike Force, and that tonight there would be a demonstration of what is to come for them. Zannino then destroyed local boy Matt Cafano with brutal fists and locking in the BIG SLEEP(er) and Cafano passing out, the ref trying to pry him off, but Zannino refusing the let go. The rest of La Cosa Nostra come in and goad him on, before he finally lets go, leaving his opponent completely laid out. I'd like to tell you that this was the end, but then Rick Briggs locked in the CEMENT SHOES, while Zannino and Bianco laugh. It takes an army of refs to get them out of the ring, but wow, are La Cosa Nostra about getting the job done or what? We also got word that they are next in line for a shot at OdZ for the tag titles, and that should be in a few weeks!

Next up, Brad Wolf comes out and cuts an interview with Druid (in a suit he must have bought at his local Sears for a discounted price) where Wolf says that he is genuinely disgusted at La Cosa Nostra, as him and Lee Stone will show those cowards exactly what they deserve -- the DOOR. He wants to run them out of Spunk Pro for good, and out of wrestling. He put on a spirited match with young Tomohiro Ito, with Ito falling short, and Wolf hitting the big Wolf's Bite spear for the academic 3-count. Wolf grabs the mic and tells La Cosa Nostra that he just showed them how to get it done in the ring. Well yeah, but you didn't kill your opponent, either.

Dan Sommers came out next, followed by Big T, and wasn't in the talking mood, as Druid tried to get a few words and eats a fist to the mouth. While he is being attended to, Sommers took no time at all to destroy local legend Dick Doode with the Alabama Nightmare. It was a lariat and the Nightmare and that was all she wrote. With Big T in tow, Sommers made sure to stop by and see Druid on his way out, and punch him in the face again while Big T growled at anybody who tried to stop them. What monsters!

Newcomer Ken Shields teamed with former Dink, Matt D with his new attitude, Matt D coming out to a My Chemical Romance song (I'll be damned if I look up which one!), with his fingernails painted black and his hair newly dyed -- completely jet black! It seems like his turn from retarded boy into maturity has deeply depressed him somehow, but that didn't prevent him from winning this match! They faced off with a very pissed off Lester Bourbon, who pre-match came out eating a turkey leg, spitting it at Druid (poor Druid) for his only comment, and Rusty Chodes. Rusty got a few elbows off, Lester dominated and Matt D and Ken Shields fought hard, with the finish finally being Lester losing his temper with Chodes and his lame Dusty Rhodes impressions and gave him the BOURBON STREET SLAM. This perfectly set Chodes up for the finish from both men, each at opposite corners, Shields doing the GOLDEN ELBOW and Matt with the SWANTON BOMB! Matt makes the pin and that was that. After the match Druid tried to get a comment from Lester, who just pounded on his chest and screamed he was the king of Bourbon Street, and didn't have time for these chumps. Matt and Ken were a little bit more talkative, as Ken said he was glad to have found a partner in this crazy world, and Matt talked about how unfair the world seemed right now, as well as how much he dislikes President Bush, and how upset he was that Martha Dumptruck hasn't lost weight, so he had to dump her, and that nobody can feel his pain, not even his parents. Ok.

Our big main event was Jesus X, the newly-crowned Champion teaming with Spunk to take on OdZ's ZODIAK and RUINER. The fans were ecstatic to see the new champion, who dedicated his title win to all of the fans, and while he was less than pleased with how he won it, he'd prove he deserved it by destroying ZODIAK here tonight! ZODIAK and RUINER hit the ring, and nobody wants a piece of them, the fans backing up from the entry way, Druid ducking for cover as ANYTHING could happen when they are in the ring. The contest saw Spunk and Jesus X team up to focus on RUINER and specifically that bad arm of his, it paid off as the Champ had him worn down enough to where all it took was the Superkick and RUINER was down for the count! The faces celebrated, but not for long as ZODIAK comes out and tries to throw another fireball at Jesus X, only for Spunk to pull him out of the way! ZODIAK and RUINER scramble to the back as the faces collect themselves and Jesus X grabs the mic, calling out ZODIAK, calling him a coward who needs to breath fire to fight him.

Oct. 22

1. Lester Bourbon (2:12 - Bourbon Street Slam) Rusty Chodes
2. Big T (1:26 - Ref Stoppage) Lex Brown
3. Shogo Otsuka (10:55 - Shogo MAX Cross) RUINER
4. Strike Force (Brad Wolf/Lee Stone(O)) (12:10 - Stone Crusher) Dick Doode/Greek Nick(X)
5. Matt D (13:40 - Suicide Bomb) El Hijo del Demonio
6. Spunk Pro Tag Team Championship: La Cosa Nostra (Ted Zannino(O)/Rick Briggs (22:14 - The Big Sleep(er)) OdZ (ZODIAK(X)/DEMOS)

Lester Bourbon is a mad, mad man, and Druid knew better than to try to catch him this time, as he gets right to business, taking it to his partner from the last Spunk Pro show, but Lester refusing to actually finish him off. He finally picks him up and brings him down HARD with the Bourbon Street Slam, Chodes down for the academic 3-count -- but he won't stop! Lester with a big splash! Another big splash! He is trying to kill him, won't somebody stop this? HERE COMES KEN SHIELDS! Ken Shields just stepped in and hit the discus punch on Lester! Lester is reeling, Shields off the ropes and big golden arm lariat! Lester rolls out through the ropes and lands on his feet, retreating, kicking the guard rail and pushing Druid and his mic out of the way.

Big T took on newcomer and local boy Lex Brown, and well, it was brutal. Big T showed just what he can bring to the table in this match, as he obliterated poor Lex Brown, picking Lex up for a big sidewalk slam, dropping him down and then dropping a big elbow on him. But that wasn't enough. The ref was counting and T picks Brown up. He affixes his hand around the throat of Brown and gets him up high for a chokeslam, and it looks like Brown is tapping out! But T slams him down anyway, knocking him out cold, the ref having to stop the match! Post-match he puts in a few words with Druid, saying that this was just the beginning, and that he can do much worse. Much, much worse, then growls and moves towards Druid, Druid possibly pissing his 10-dollar dress pants!

Shogo Otsuka came out next, and talked to Druid (wearing new pants), claiming that tonight he'll take out RUINER, and that he wants to end this ordeal with OdZ, and wants to once and for all recapture the championship from DEMOS. The match was underway and it went back and forth, RUINER's arm being the main focus, when out of nowhere Shogo used the flying, hanging armbar on RUINER who was forced to tap out. Shogo was celebrating his victory when out of nowhere DEMOS comes out from behind, brandishing a pair of clippers, and he is trying to shave Shogo's head! Shogo narrowly escapes as OdZ stays in the ring.

Strike Force are up next, as both men cut an interview with Druid, saying that they are going to be watching the tag team title match very closely tonight. They made short work of their opponents in impressive fashion, and after the match called for a tag team title shot against the winners tonight. We'll see.

Matt D came out, and complained about his life again, showing us some scrapes on his wrists, saying that life can be so cruel and that he is out here to show us his pain. Ok. He faced off with El Hijo del Demonio, which is no pushover by any means, but was able to pull out the win, with the Swanton Bomb, which we've been informed is called the 'Suicide Bomb' now. Ok. After the match, Matt D moped around a bit, then left.

The main event is for the Tag Team Championship! It was an intense back and forth bout, with OdZ looking to have a slight edge, when it looked like it was curtains for La Cosa Nostra, ZODIAK prepping a fireball Jesus X, the Champ runs out and with the ref distracted by DEMOS so ZODIAK could throw the fireball left for a perfect opportunity for the SUPERKICK! ZODIAK falls into the waiting arms of Ted Zannino's the Big Sleep(er) and its over, he has passed out! Zannino won't release the hold, but Bianco and Briggs are pulling him off, the belts in their hand as they celebrate! We have new tag team champions!

Druid catches up with Jesus X who says turnabout is fair play, and that ZODIAK shouldn't play with fire, as he is just going to get burned!
