More than 250 wrestling fans turned out for Pro Wrestling Elite's All Action Wrestling's first big show of 2013 Valentine's Vengeance on Saturday night at the Giant Flea Market in Union City and did not leave disappointed.
In the opening bout, which was contested inside a steel cage, Crazy Mary defeated "The Pride of Minnesota" Miss Natural by pinfall after hitting a flip powerbomb to put Miss Natural away after the beauty from Golden Valley, Minnesota tried on numerous occasions to leave the cage.
While the ring crew took down the cage, PWE/AAW General Manager Justin Purcell brought out PWE/AAW Heavyweight Champion "The Trendsetter" Jon Michel to talk about last week's event. However, as Jon Michael was talking to the crowd, his challenger for later than night, "3G" Eric Wayne, ambushed the champion. After Wayne DDTed Jon Michael on the concrete floor, "Showtime" Daniel Thomas, who accompanied Wayne on the Pearl Harbor attack, verbally berated "The Trendsetter."
In the first match contested under Hardcore Roulette rules, Chris Falcon defeated Void via the triangle choke when Void was unable to continue.
After coming to the ring for the third contest, Kilo was informed by "Showtime" that his opponent would be his tag team partner, Mark Justice. When the two refused to participate in the Chairs Match, "Showtime" told them if they didn't they would be fired. After one of the more intense battles of the night, the match had to be thrown out when the PWE/AAW Tag Team champions - "Classy" Xander Legend and Big Boy Leroy attacked the SOBs.
During the first intermission, PWE/AAW announcer Jason Christian informed the crowd that two wrestling legends have been signed to appear at the next big show, On March 29. He then announced that the first name signed to appear is none other than Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
Jason Rage picked up a victory over "The World's Most Huggable Wrestler" Bryan Castle, but used the ropes for leverage to gain the pinfall.
In a crazy tornado 6-man tag match that went all over the ringside area, "Classy" Xander Legend, Big Boy Leroy and "The All American Nightmare" Hayze picked up the win over "The Show" Chris Adams, Justin Hell and Jack Diamond when Hayze pinned Adams after Legend hit him with a backcracker. As the three celebrated, Kilo and Mark Justice came out and chased them off, challenging them to a tag team title match next week, which "Showtime" accepted.
During the second intermission, Jason Christian announced the second wrestling legend signed for March 29 - three time WCW World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page.
Despite the attack by Wayne earlier in the night, Jon Michael gained revenge and retained his PWE/AAW Heavyweight title during a brutal ladder match which ended when Michael retrieved the belt after powerbombing Wayne off the ladder. Before the match started, Purcell ejected "Showtime" from ringside.
The night climaxed with the hard-hitting contest between PWE Midsouth Heavyweight Champion, and former ECW/WWE/TNA superstar, "The War Machine" Rhino and Big Bull Bronson. The match spilled into the arena and the fans thought they might have seen the last of Bronson, as Rhino put him through a table. However, "Showtime" came out and announced that the rules did not constitute that as a victory - only a pinfall would. Rhino went for the gore on Bronson, but Bull moved and threw Rhino head-first into the corner. Bronson then hit the splash to regain the Midsouth title. Bronson and his manager, Roland Greene, along with Terrence W. Ward, went to the back and drug PWE Promoter Alvin Minnick (who put his hair on the line for the match) to the ring. However, in doing that, the trio left "Showtime" alone in the ring with the angry now former champion who leveled the company advisor with a gore, much to the delight of the crowd. After bullying Minnick, Bull shaved the PWE promoter's head in the middle of the ring.
What will the fallout be from Valentine's Vengenace? Be sure to come out next Saturday night, Feb. 16, to see what happens next at Pro Wrestling Elite's All Action Wrestling at the Giant Flea Market.
