Match No. 2 takes place on 6/8 in Bridgewater, MA for New England Championship Wrestling in a Boston street fight. Match No. 3 will be 7/7 in Hopkins, MN for Steel Domain Wrestling (where both wrestlers worked early in their careers) in an I quit match. Stage Two: June 8, 2012 – New England Championship Wrestling – Bridgewater, MA --The NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship was on the line as Colt Cabana (Champion) faced “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce (Challenger) in a Boston Street Fight. It was clear early on that the ring would not be able to contain this war as the action spilled to the outside and all over the Knights of Columbus. No chair, table, or wall was safe as these two warriors battled to every corner of the building. In the end, a bloodied Pearce fell victim to Cabana’s Billy Goat’s Curse submission hold, and despite not submitting, passed out from the pain and the blood loss, giving Cabana another victory and a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series. Stage Three: July 7, 2012 – Steel Domain Wrestling – Hopkins, MN Stage Four: July 21, 2012 – Metro Pro Wrestling – Kansas City, KS Stage Five (if necessary): August 18, Boston, MA Stages Six and Seven, if they become necessary, will be announced as scheduled. Ticket information, stipulation details, and more will be released as it becomes available.

MIKE POSEY INTERVIEW http://wrestlingnewscenter.blogspot.com/2012/01/wrestling-news-center-podcast-episode-2.html MIKE POSEY & COREY HOLLIS VS GRIZZLY REDWOOD & BLAINE RAGE was the dark match for ROH in S Florida on Saturday 3-31-12. NWA ANARCHY Congratulations to JOHN JOHNSON who was named BEST ANNOUNCER for 2011 in the Georgia Wrestling History Awards http://www.georgiawrestlinghistory.com/awards/2011/02.html NWA ANARCHY eps 332 at www.nwaanarchy.net SHOW #661-332 MATCH #1 CHASE, WILSON ETC VIGNETTE MATCH#2 TOMMT DANIELS VS SKIRRA CORVUS MATCH #3 VANDAL VS ANTHONY HENRY MATCH #4 PALMER – SLIM J VIGNETTE MATCH #5 NWA ELITE VS SLIM J & NEMERSIS Multimedia area at www.nwaanarchy.net or http://twnworldwide.tv/nwaanarchy.html NWA ANARCHY TV TAPING DATES NWA ARENA 8PM Belltime 4236 Level Grove Rd. Cornelia, GA Saturdays 6-23 6-30 HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT The roller coaster ride continues at the NWA Arena in Cornelia, GA. This has gone beyond being on roll. NWA Anarchy has caught lightning in a bottle. The NWA Elite, led by Jeff G. Bailey and former Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer, are out to seize control of the company by any means necessary. They’re taking all the titles, taking out the top babyfaces, evidently taking control of the officiating…and another deadly weapon has been added to their arsenal. It is the best thing Anarchy has done since Franklin Dove took over ownership, and it might be the juiciest story Anarchy ever gets to tell. But that’s not all. Up and down the card, every story is clicking. Anarchy’s best stuff came when Todd Sexton and Bill Behrens were collaborating on the creative process, and lightning appears to be striking twice. This show had something for everyone. Emotions are being pulled in all directions. The intensity of the wrestling has picked up dramatically, which is no surprise with the locker room morale approaching an all time high. There is no way to properly appreciate this product without seeing it live. Due to Anarchy’s ongoing technical limitations, their television shows and DVDs cannot do it justice. Attendance was 135. That’s a good number in an up trend and somewhat of relief after Anarchy drew poorly on Memorial Day weekend. (1) Brandon Parker defeated Dustin Knight in 9:04. The returning Knight received an oddly cool reception considering that he and Anthony Henry were popular tag team champions less than a year ago. Parker was in control most of the way. He started taunting the “little fella” to fight back. Knight did but fell victim to Parker’s backpack stunner in the end. Match was OK. Not much crowd reaction and what little there was favored Parker. On the Wrestlevision, special enforcer Brodie Chase apologized to his referees for overreacting last time (Chase had been provoked into using Palmer’s axhandle on NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Shaun Tempers). Chase assigned senior official Dee Byers to the upcoming Anarchy tag title match. Fellow official Brent Wiley, growing more heelish with each passing moment, was not a happy camper. (2) Bobby Moore & Tommy Daniels & CB Gibson defeated Billy Buck & Skirra Corvus & Jacob Ashworth in 9:50. Things have gone from bad to worse for Moore. If the Barney chants and dolls weren’t enough, Moore was tormented by a fan dressed in a full Barney costume. Moore went nuts trying to get at the guy, then stormed to the locker room and had to be dragged back to the ring by his partners. The drama was Moore running away from Buck, the man whose career he bragged about ending. Buck did his signature fiery house cleaning until Moore clubbed him from behind. Buck pulled Moore out and they brawled to the back. Ashworth was ready to finish off Gibson, but former friend Tommy pulled his leg out from under, and fellow backstabber Gibson landed on top. The heat was off the hook for this highly entertaining match. Young Lion’s Champion Henry was interviewed by Tim E. D. on big screen. Henry said he could handle the pressure of being the only good guy with a title. Adrian Hawkins showed up displaying major jerk-like tendencies. Hawkins said he was going to take some kid and show Henry a real submission hold. Henry said he was taking on all comers. (3) NWA RPW Heavyweight Champion Kyle Matthews defeated Corey Hollis in 12:36. This was an unadvertised addition to the card. Matthews came out to “Bad Company” and had a Nightmare star on his tights. His taped up shoulder never figured into the match. Hollis got ticked off about being outwrestled. He gave Matthews a rude powerbomb onto the ring frame, and did that ever turn the momentum. Hollis zeroed in on Matthews’ back to set up a Boston crab. They were trading ridiculously stiff chops. Matthews fought off the crab hold and went for a tope. It was scary because Matthews’ foot got snagged by the ropes, but he managed to connect. Hollis rolled through on a flying body press to get the crab hold. Matthews made the ropes. Hollis used a butterfly suplex flipped into a backcracker but Matthews kicked out. They battled on the ropes. Matthews got the better it, using a spot on huracanrana to set up the Slurpee Kick. This match was technical excellence the likes of which is rarely seen in the NWA Arena. Matthews tried to get the crowd going. It worked to some degree, but they’re not in the mix at Anarchy, so fans had no emotional stake in the outcome. Jeff G. Bailey addressed the crowd in advance of the NWA Elite’s title defense. Bailey put his delusional spin on the events at previous taping as only he can do it. Bailey said Chase had callled Byers out to make a fraudulent pin count, and Wiley called it right down the middle when he awoke. Bailey accused Chase of bullying Wiley, and said picking Byers to ref the tag title match wasn’t going to change a thing. (4) NWA Elite (Se7en & Jacoby Boykins with Jeff G. Bailey & Jerry Palmer) defeated Hate Junkies (Dany Only & Stryknyn with Reverend Dan Wilson) in 12:34. Only’s trademark beard was a thing of the past. What the hell is up with that? The Junkies wailed on Boykins (standing in for Bryan Casanova). Se7en tagged in. Only tried to choke slam Se7en onto Stryknyn’s knees. Not one of his brighter moves. Se7en chokeslammed Only onto Stryk, and the Elite gave Only a wicked beating. Se7en was getting way, way up there on his flying elbow drops. Damn impressive for such a huge guy. Only was in exquisite agony. Se7en hit the bullseye three time, but four was pushing it. Tags were made. Boykins went for a press slam. Stryknyn reversed it into a DDT for a close near fall. Bailey was sweating bullets on that one. Stryknyn accidentally hit Byers. The Elite messed up, and the Junkies leveled Boykins with a lariat/spear combo. Wiley hit the ring…hesitated… and DQed the Junkies for Stryknyn’s inadvertent blow to the ref. (5) Andrew Pendleton III defeated Zach Daniels in 7 minutes. Crowd was still settling in from the intermission when the match got underway. Zach has gotten a whole lot better since he started working PCW and Anarchy. Finish saw Zach try to come off the top rope and Pendleton caught him with the Stock Market Crash (variation on the STO). Nemesis said he felt naked without his home boy, Shadow Jackson, and told them to roll the film for an update on Jackson’s condition (after the backstage beatdown he suffered at the hands of Palmer and his Elite thugs). Nemesis was telling Jackson they needed him at Anarchy. Jackson said he was messed up bad. Jackson said he almost dropped his son because he lost his balance, and he couldn’t come back until he was ready. Nemesis said they needed him at 100%. Back to the now, Nemesis told the fans to give it up for his boy. Thunderous applause ensued. (6) Adrian Hawkins defeated Joey Rhymer via submission in 3:20. AH smacked Rhymer’s face and had his way with him. Rhymer’s swanton bomb missed by a mile, and Hawkins locked in the sharpshooter. Hawkins refused to break the hold until Henry hit the ring for the save. The instant Henry turned to tend to Rhymer, Hawkins jumped back in and clipped his knee. Hawkins tried for the sharpshooter. Henry escaped and went for the Texas Cloverleaf, but Hawkins scrambled to safety. A simple and effective way to set up the submission vs. submission scenario. Rhymer was the perfect opponent for this situation because the fans adore the kid. (7) Seth Delay defeated John Skyler in 11:35 to qualify for the Gold Rush match at Hostile Environment. Cautious start. They worked a nice luchaesque sequence based on knuckle locks and monkey flips. Nice isn’t part of Skyler vocabulary.. He decked Delay with a closed fist. Delay returned the favor as soon as he got the chance. Skyler upped the ante with a whip into the post, and grounded Delay with a sleeper. The crowd love for Delay was strong here. Skyler crotched himself on the turnbuckle. Gluttony will get you nowhere. Delay added insult to injury with a dropkick from behind. Delay’s missile dropkick found its mark, but nobody home for his top rope elbow drop. Skyler flapjacked Delay and motioned that this was over. Delay escaped Sliced Bread #2 and hit the Overnite Sensation. The crowd seemed to like it just fine. I have the sneaking suspicion that they have a better match in them. Afterwards, Delay was celebrating with the sexy swivel hips dance. Pendleton ran in, laid Delay out with the Stock Market Crash and did his own stupendously ugly version of the swivel hips. Bailey and Palmer led their team out for the main event. Bailey issued a challenge for a special six on six elimination match at Hostile Environment, the question being were their six idiots stupid enough to accept it? Palmer said this was one of one of those times when real life crosses into pro wrestling. He demanded to have the GM duties. A stipulation perhaps? (8) Azrael & Slim J & Nemesis with Reverend Dan Wilson) defeated NWA Elite (Shaun Tempers & Bo Newsom & Jacoby Boykins with Jeff G. Bailey & Jerry Palmer) in 10:40. The crowd was on fire for this match. Azrael had his hair styled into devil’s horns. Former enemies Slim and Azrael befuddled the Elite with their creative combos. The spot of the night was an elaborate sequence of insanely stiff chops that left Tempers totally abused. The Elite set out to destroy Slim’s back, and they damn near succeeded. At the crucial moment, Azrael launched Slim over the top rope to take out Newsom and Boykins, then pinned Tempers clean with a springboard Superman punch. The finish looked great, and the people went nuts for the visual of the uncrowned champion pinning Tempers clean. It doesn’t get much better than this. Chaos reigned. Se7en hit the ring. Hate Junkies ran out to help the good guys. They were brawling all over the place, and this thing was out of control. The lights went out… Lights on. A perfect moment for the return of Mikal Judas. Triumph turned to tragedy. An unidentifed badass black wrestler was standing in the ring. It was PCW star Jagged Edge decimating Team Anarchy until all five bodies were strewn about the ring. The Elite rejoiced amidst the carnage. Chase came out on the ramp wearing a sad face. His guys got crushed again. What a debut. What a way to finish the show. NOTES: The date for Hostile Environment is June 30…Anarchy star Steven Walters is currently on a three month tour of England…Skyler appeared on the episode of Smackdown that aired on June 8 as one of Skip Sheffield’s squashes…Among those in attendance were Rachael Freeman from PCW, Team All You Can Eat and Jonathan Williams and Matt Hankins, the hosts of “Georgia Wrestling Now” on GWH radio…Only said he was just tired of having the beard. Too bad that he acted impulsively, as PCW and Anarchy fans were deprived of the opportunity to see it shaved off in the ring.

Turnout was in the high 70s to mid 80s, down from last show. “The Real Deal” Jake Slater (w/ Joey Kidman) defeated Leon McMichaels via pinfall Referee: Jimmy Kidman and Slater get a decent pop when they come out, but Leon’s pop is bigger. Slater does a good job at keeping control for most of the match and finishes Leon with the piledriver for the win. A taped promo from Davey Richards is played. It’s focused on promoting the challenge that was issued from the last show. We’re told that Richards should be coming back in July. A taped promo from Doc Gayton is played. It mainly just covers the Rampage Cup Tag Team Tournament that is starting during the show. He advertises Jimmy Rave & Kyle Matthews taking on the ROH Tag Team of Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander and says it will be the first match of Round 1. Rampage Cup Qualifying Match Jimmy Rave Approved (Corey Hollis & “Do or Die” Chip Day) defeated Drew Adler & Anthony Henry via pinfall Referee: Dee Byers The match saw Drew taking most of the heat from Approved, which lead to a slightly lackluster hot tag due to Adler being more over with the crowd than Henry. Posey comes out to get Henry’s attention, leading to Hollis rolling him up for the victory. AJ Steele comes out after the match. Approved gets out of dodge as AJ enters the ring and throws Henry out. He calls Murder 1 out. Murder comes out to the ramp but doesn’t want any of AJ, so the man of steel runs out after his former Suspect partner and follows him backstage. We hear a crash in the crowd, but nothing comes of it. Might end up being a televised-only segment. Rampage Cup Qualifying Match BFF (“Marvelous” Michael Stevens & “Adorable” Anthony Andrews) defeated Tommy Daniels & CB Gibson via pinfall Referee: Stan Robinson Gibson takes heat during this match, and Tommy Daniels makes constant attempts to rally the crowd behind him. Stevens gets much better reactions from the crowd, albeit not in his favor, than Daniels. With the referee’s back turned, BFF picks up the victory with a hit from their usual game-winning container. Rampage Cup Round 1 Match J-Rod & Frankie Valentine defeat Cash Vault (“Hit for Hire” Bobby Moore & Rob Adonis)(w/ Charlie Cash) via pinfall Referee: Dustin Robinson Contrary to Doc advertising the first Round 1 match to feature Rave, Matthews, Alexander & Coleman, we’re given this to wrap up the first hour of the show. “Barney” chants are pretty constant in this match. Cash Vault pulls every trick in the book to get the edge over their opponents, but Valentine manages to pick up the victory for his team with a sunset flip pin over Bobby as J-Rod delivered a very stiff knee to Adonis. Rampage Cup Qualifying Match Hot Like Lava (Cru Jones & Shaun Banks) defeated “The Real Deal” Jake Slater & “WildChild” Joey Kidman via pinfall Referee: Dee Byers With yet another match against a heel team and their willingness to play to the crowd, Hot Like Lava might very well have taken a full face turn. With Lava’s experience as a tag team far exceeding that of Slater and Kidman, they manage to come out on top of this one. Easily one of the best matches of the show. Anthony Henry defeated Mike Posey via submission Referee: Stan Robinson The crowd was really into this one. Approved comes out to help Posey but are stopped in their tracks by Drew Adler. Henry gets the victory with the cloverleaf. A video is shown featuring someone who was seemingly deranged. The promo seemed like some of Mankind’s more sinister ones, or like Kane or Abyss have done recently. The crowd doesn’t know what to think of the video. Rampage Cup Round 1 Match Kyle Matthews & Jimmy Rave defeated Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander via pinfall Referee: Dustin Robinson Despite what seemed to be a face turn by Rave at the last show, he pulled his usual antics in this one. Kyle went for the hot tag and Rave hesitated to make it, but does so and starts going all-out like a face usually would. Up until this point it seemed Kyle and Rave wouldn’t be able to work together, but once they did it was only a matter of time before they got the victory. Rampage has not shown or released an official bracket for the Rampage Cup. The following teams are currently in the Tournament: Corey Hollis & Chip Day (Round 1) Michael Stevens & Anthony Andrews (Round 1) Cru Jones & Shaun Banks (Round 1) Washington Bullets (Round 1) J-Rod & Frankie Valentine (Round 2) Jimmy Rave & Kyle Matthews (Round 2) Round 1 has an odd number of teams right now, so it’s possible for more qualifying rounds to come up.

APW TAG CHAMPS: VAIN & TALENT NWA NORTH GEORGIA CHAMP: JAMES BLVD NWA SOUTHERN STATES CHAMP: STRYKNYN 06/09/2012 – NWA Alternative Pro Wrestling Report from Royston on 6/8 From Larry Goodman: Here’s what went down at “Game Changer” as presented by NWA Alternative Pro Wrestling at the Pops Horton Gym in Royston, GA on June 8, 2012. In a nod to WWE, Game Changer was a semi-major show featuring a 30 man rumble royal where the eventual winner, Anthony Henry, earned a shot at the NWA Southern States Championship on APW’s biggest show of the year, Freedom Fight. It was a solid show -- no great matches, but two very good matches and none that really bad. By comparison, the overall match quality was higher than the PWA show. Attendance was 135. Not the hottest APW crowd I’ve experienced. They popped in all the right places but they didn’t have the crazy sustained heat of the PWA show last Saturday in Carrollton. Few shows do. Significant strides have been made under the new ownership. The new lighting rig is a major improvement. There are also new cameras, a new curtain and the women’s bathroom received a desperately needed makeover. Signage advertising the weekly Friday night events has been added in front of the building and at the main intersection in town. Ring announcer Jonathan Feltner did a great job of running down the card. Yasir Akbar came out to a “camel jockey” chant. Akbar said he was setting up a life changing moment. He said Delay got a lucky win over him last week, and he was going to embarrass him and the other 30 guys in the rumble. Mic work is his strong suit. Seth Delay defeated Yasir Akbar in 9:45. Delay delivered a kneedrop to the prayer rug with Akbar lying underneath it. He also used the titty twister. Midway through Delay’s 10 punches of doom, Akbar countered with a reverse atomic drop. Akbar’s application of the basic holds is still weak, but his high impact stuff looks pretty good. He did a number on Delay outside the ring and followed up with a hanging inverted DDT for near fall. But Delay outmaneuvered Akbar with a sunset flip off the ropes and then scored the pin with an inside cradle. Finish looked so-so. Delay got a decent match of out Akbar here and it had heat. Afterward, Delay had a little fun with Akbar’s paraphernalia. (2) Brandon Parker defeated Shadow Jackson in 8:25. Jackson limped out with his left calf bandaged. Strong crowd love for Jackson as usual, and he could do no wrong – nut stomps, eye pokes, closed fists were just fine with them. Jackson was wincing in pain, though, and Parker started working on the bad leg. The crowd got quiet during this. Parker used Jackson’s 1031 against him for a near fall. Jackson hit a stunner out of nowhere, but Parker kicked out. Jackson’s leg gave out on a body slam, and Parker fell on top of him for the pin. Jackson’s leg was on the rope but referee Dee Byers didn’t see it. Shadow threatened to slug Byers, but he ran away when Jackson cocked his fist. That would not have been a pretty sight. (3) Winner Gets the Loser’s Contract - James Boulevard defeated Skirra Corvus in 7:45. Corvus was on a rampage early, Come to think of it, I wonder why Corvus hasn’t gotten a shot at RPW? The tide turned when Corvus missed a double jump twisting splash. Some of the striking was of questionable quality, but they told a good story as Boulevard continued to thwart Skirra’s airborne attack. Corvus finally fought off a superplex and connected with a swanton bomb. Corvus hit the Graveyard Shift but referee David Crawford spied Boulevard’s foot under the rope. Corvus went for an O’Connor roll. Crawford was slow making the count and Boulevard reversed it using the ropes for extra leverage. Crawford is the pits. He sticks out like a sore thumb after seeing Byers, who is one of the best refs around. (4) Hate Junkies (Dany Only & Stryknyn) defeated Heavy Metal (Cali Cannon & Shane Hexxon) in 11:30. Stryknyn brought his old pal Only back to get revenge on Heavy Metal, and this was heated brawl from the get go. They gave Hexxon a beating. Hexxon is an interesting.talent. He has a nasty look about him. He also moves and bumps well and has good size. Heavy Metal got heat on Only, and the crowd got behind him huge. Metal’s frustrations mounted as they were unable to put Only away despite using outside interference to cut him off. Stryk got the hot tag and was ready to powerbomb Hexxon, but Cannon saved him. When Stryk tried for the spear, Hexxon had it scouted. Hexxon tried for a powerbomb, and Only cut that off, allowing Strykyn to spear Hexxon. Good match with justice served at the end. (5) Best Friends Turned Bitter Enemies - Dustin Knight beat Anthony Henry in 21:02. This match had a good build up. Henry has gone from top babyface to being a real a-hole. Henry cost Knight the North Georgia title, played games about accepting his challenge, then cost him another match and left him laying. Neither man was giving an inch. Knight had Henry’s number and Anthony wasn’t happy about it. At one point, Henry threw a chair in to gain a momentary advantage. Knight was working on Henry’s arm and the fans chanted for him to break it. At 7 minutes in, Henry caught Knight with the spinning backbreaker. That is such a pretty move. Henry was relentless in working over Knight’s back. Knight was is great in the role of the resilient undersized underdog. He throws wicked chops for such a small guy, but Henry made sure that his rallies fells short. Byers looked a mess. His bow tie was undone, his shirttail was out and he was clutching at his shoulder because one of the competitors landed on him. Knight made a full-fledged comeback. He went for a flip dive, and I’m not sure what happened but it didn’t connect and Knight splatted on the hardwood floor. Knight carried on without selling the back much at all. Henry’s am slammed into the post when Knight ducked his discus forearm. Back inside, Henry tried for his vaunted Texas Cloverleaf, and had to give it up because of his arm. Knight got the crossface. Fans were chanting for the tap out, but Henry made the ropes. They swapped near falls. Knight got the crossface again. Henry put Knight down with foream to the back of the skull, and Knight grabbed the ropes to avoid being pinned. Henry threatened to hit Byers. Rough night for him. Henry introduced another chair as a diversion tactic so he could expose one of the turnbuckles. Knight ducked. Henry tasted metal and Knight rolled him up. A few comments -- Henry has taken his game to another level in the last couple of months. It’s problematic when the heel is the superior wrestler, but Knight is a great babyface and wasn’t giving away as much size as usual, so it wasn’t as much of an issue. The match had intensity. They both did a great job of getting the bad blood aspect across. The live by the sword, die by the sword stuff with the chair distraction was nice detail. Byers was tremendous here. He added drama to the match. Better selling of the back by Knight would have added even more. (6) Anthony Henry won a 30 man rumble style battle royal in 53 minutes. Wrestlers entered at 90 second intervals. Nothing of note until happened until Boulevard entered at #9 with Corvus’ contract in his hand. He said he wanted to win without any help and ordered Corvus to eliminate himself. Corvus reluctantly complied. As soon as Boulevard entered ring, Jeremy Vain sent him over the top with a clothesline for one of the biggest pops of the night. Jacoby Boykins entered and started giving guys the heave ho. Tommy Daniels, Kevin Blue, JC Walker, Don E, Revolution, Balllenger, Parker and Vain all got tossed. Chris Spectra and Jamie Cruz were the next two contestants. Boykins tossed them out at the same time and waited for competition. Kameron Kade was Boykin’s next victim. Unlike some of these guys, Kade is in shape and has sharp gear. I would like to have seen more him. Danny South was next. He was allowed some offense before Boykins got rid off him. I have clue as to why. A mammoth sized Scottie Wrenn entered next. The two behemoths started going at it. The added weight has cost Wrenn his mobility. After a bit of back and forth, he went down in the corner and stayed there. It was obvious something was wrong. I understand that he hurt his rib. Knight entered and Boykins sold for his offense. The only sense I could make out it is that Wrenn had worn Boykins down. Akbar and Eli Evans (a tall, lean black guy) entered. Boykins dumped Wrenn over the top and he was helped out the side door. Henry entered and paired off with Knight. Jackson entered next and ran wild. The ring filled up – John Skyler, Only, Delay, JT Talent (big pop for him), Cannon, a muffin-topped Scott Mayson, the monster Tower (who has yet to master the art of stepping over the top rope), CB Gibson, and Hexxon. Akbar was taking tons of abuse much to the fans’ delight. The surprise bonus entrant was Sugar Dunkerton, who had long stint as a regular at APW before he made it big with Chikara, etc. Dunkerton entered with a bop of his basketball into the face of Mayson for the funniest moment of the night. Mass eliminations ensued. Boykins got Tower out. Delay and Akbar tumbled out together. Jackson turned it into stunner city. Hexxon eliminated Shadow. Sugar eliminated Hexxon. It was down to Boykins, Sugar, Henry and Knight. Boykins planted Dunkerton and he rolled out of the ring. Boykins and Henry tried to double team Knight. You know how that goes. Boykins took the blow, Knight eliminated a stunned Boykins, and Henry dumped Knight from behind. Dunkerton rolled back into the ring. After a quick bit of back and forth, Henry eliminated Sugar to win. This match had its share entertaining moments but it ran too long. The same thing could have been accomplished with 60 second intervals. Boykins looked invincible until Knight got in there. Henry’s victory sets up a rematch of one of APW’s best matches of 2011 with NWA Southern States Champion Stryknyn at Freedom Fight.
