GWE Live #5

 

Year 1, Week 5
Columbus Civic Center, Columbus GA

* * * * *

Freddie Miller welcomes the rabid crowd at the Columbus Civic Center to a night of GWE action.  He runs down the card, emphasizing the night's two huge tag team showdowns.  First, The WorkHorsemen facing off with C&C Wrestle Factory, best two out of three falls.  And secondly, the night's long awaited main event for the Georgia Tag Team Championship as Kraken challenge the Georgia Champs, The Rock & Roll Express!  The fans roar their approval as "Hollaback Girl" plays and gets the night underway.

Opening Contest

Sumie Sakai defeats Krissy Vaine by DQ when Vaine smashes a hand mirror in Sakai's face at 15:31, leaving Sakai bloodied

✮✮✮

Vaine, after taking the bulk of the punishment in the match, takes advantage of the now bloodied and stunned Sakai by bouncing Sakai's head off the arena floor repeatedly before referees separate the two.  Vaine leaves, pleased with herself, as refs and the ringside doctor check on Sakai.

Best of 3 Falls Tag Team Match

The WorkHorsemen defeat C&C Wrestle Factory in straight falls, one with Anthony Henry pinning Cedric Alexander after the Kudo Driver and one with Henry pinning Caprice Coleman after the double stomp moonsault, in 22:50

✮✮✮✮ 1/2

Jimmy Hart comes out shortly after the first fall, around the 10-minute mark, and takes a seat at the timekeeper's table.  As Alexander makes a desperate tag out to Coleman and Coleman starts to rally at the 20-minute mark, Hart comes to ringside, cheering for the C&C.  Coleman plants J.D. Drake with a snap driver and heads up to the top rope.

When Henry tries to stop Coleman and draws referee Dee Byers' attention, Hart jumps up and pulls Coleman's leg, crotching him on the top turnbuckle and leading to the final fall.  The WorkHorsemen leave with Jimmy Hart, apparently the first members of The First Family.

Singles Attraction

"The Enforcer" C.W. Anderson pins "Reborn" Matt Sydal after the Shotgun Superkick in 9:47

✮ 1/2

MAIN EVENT

Georgia Tag Team Championship

The Rock & Roll Express (c) defeat Kraken when Robert Gibson pins Chip Day after the double dropkick in 18:03

✮✮✮ 1/2

As The Rock & Roll Express celebrate their hard fought win and successful title defense, the music changes and out walk The WorkHorsemen and Jimmy Hart, solidifying that they are indeed part of The First Family, and motion toward the Champs from the stage as the night's proceedings come to a close.
