Episode 4 of CWF WorldWide kicks off with Rising Generation League Champion Ethan Alexander Sharpe halfheartedly bragging on the team he has assembled. Sharpe introduces Chappy (whom he says isn’t very good) , then announces Darius Lockhart as a “brash, young upstart” and before he’s able to give an underhelming introduction to “Sis” the RGL champ is cut off by their opponents, the team of Aaaron Biggs, Chris Lea, Smith Garrett, and Samoa Joey. Brad Stutts & Cecil Scott are on commentary.
Biggie Smoove (Chris Lea & Aaron Biggs), Smith Garrett & Samoa Joey def Ethan Alexander Sharpe, Darius Lockhart, Sis, & Chappy
Smith Garrett starts off with Chappy and no sooner than the bell is rung, Garrett absolutely LEVELS Chappy with a clothesline and they isoalate The All-Star’s errand boy in the corner laying in brutal chops until Darius Lockhart makes the save. A lot of history in this matchup with Lockhart and Lea having feuded lately and Samoa Joey feuding with the RGL champion Sharpe, though as the announcers astutely pointed out NO ONE cares for the RGL champ. The team of Biggie Smoove (Chris Lea and Aaron Biggs) used some excellent double teams on Sharpe, as they continue to have the opening 8 man tag decisively in their favor. “Sis” tags into the match for the first time and this lady gives ZERO care to who she locks up with as she hits an exploder suplex on Chris Lea to gain the first advantage for her team. The cocky Darius Lockhart tags in to do some damage on Lea, but it’s Sho Smoove hitting a blue thunder bomb and tagging Aaron Biggs who takes out all four members of the opposition. Now it’s Darius Lockhart who receives a triple superkick from Lea, Joey, and Garrett and the only opponent left now is Chappy, Aaron Biggs hits the running thesz press and makes a grease spot of Chappy to pick up the win for his team.
Analysis: POOR CHAPPY! The errand boy of the All-Stars is a current and perhaps permanent grease spot on the canvas of the Sportatorium courtesy of Aaron Biggs. The rising stars of CWF Mid-Atlantic were on display here once again as the team of Biggie Smoove (Chris Lea and Aaron Biggs) really drove their team and displayed some excellent tag team wrestling in this 8 man tag match. The young powerhouse Smith Garrett picked up his second big win on CWF WorldWide and continues to build momentum as a true contender in the Rising Generation League. Sharpe’s team never got on the same page in this one and their “leader” the RGL champ is only interested in retaining his championship and continues to make no friends. Biggs absolutely destroyed Chappy to pick up the dominating win for Team Samoa Joey, but there is still a score to be settled between Joey and Ethan Alexander Sharpe.
Footage is shown from the main event Lumberjack match between Zane Dawson and Arik Royal last week on CWF WorldWide. If you’ve yet to see this WILD main event I implore you to check out CWF WorldWide Episode 3.
We go to comments from a frustrated Arik Royal directly following the match. Royal is questioning what he has to do. The longest reigning champion in CWF Mid-Atlantic history says he is sick and tired of being taken advantage of and vows that at Absolute Justice someone will feel that wrath.
C.L. Party interviews “Flawless” Brandon Day about his upcoming match with Dave Dawson, Day says it doesn’t matter if you’re from The RIOT, CWF, or otherwise he’s going to make it hurt.
Brandon Day & Dave Dawson battled to a time limit draw
Brandon Day opens up with a headbutt to Dave Dawson, Dawson responds with some punches and the FIGHT is on between these two big, rough bruisers. Day hits a nice dropkick and goes to work with some knees, whipping Dawson into the corner but the younger Dawson brother responds with a clothesline. The two exchange open hand shots, knife edge chops and elbows and Day goes for a hurracanrana but Dawson hits a sitout powerbomb for a nearfall. After showing off some of their surprising wrestling skill, these two big men devolved back to an all out brawl and try as they might neither could get that decisive edge in the allotted time to pick up the win as the time ran out but the fight continued. Dawson & Day battled after the bell with Brandon Day hitting the discus elbow and knocking Dave Dawson out of the ring.
Analysis: CWF Mid-Atlantic presents another in their series of hard hitting brawls, The Sportatorium has housed some great fights in the first four months of CWF WorldWide and this one takes it’s place amongst them. Day in addition to being a brawler showed he has some underlying skill that can catch a competitor off guard, but Dave Dawson who gets his jollies off bouncing the roughest, toughest guys out of bars had no give in him whatsoever. These two may have a future date, perhaps with a longer time limit and more relaxed rules to settle or at least renew their fight.
C.L. Party previews the next upcoming live event CWF BattleBowl on June 13th. Match participants will be drawn at random by fans and the winners of those matches will advance to the BattleBowl Battle Royale for a shot at PWI International Heavyweight Champion Zane Dawson. You can see all the action from BattleBowl beginning Wednesday June 17 at 9 pm on CWF WorldWide .
Coach Gemini led former CWF Mid-Atlantic Champion Roy Wilkins to the ring for a grappling exhibition. Coach informed the crowd that Wilkins is the greatest scientific wrestler on the planet and he was going to prove it… Against their own errand boy CHAPPY! Of course Chappy was still worse for wear from earlier in the night and the events to follow would in no way help his cause. Roy Wilkins applied an abdominal stretch which forced Chappy to tap out twice immediately, then a figure four where the errand boy of the All-Stars actually lost consciousness and finally Wilkins applied his signature stretch muffler. As the exhibition was coming to a close The Kamikazi Kid returned to CWF Mid-Atlantic and wanted to take part in the grappling challenge, Coach and Wilkins declined based on him having just “competed” and The All-Stars left the ring.
CWF Mid-Atlantic Television Champion Chet Sterling def PWI International Ultra J Champion Eithan Case to retain the TV title
Per a pre match stipulation, Brad Stutts joined the competitors in the ring for a coin toss to determine which championship would be on the line. The brash, cocky Ultra J Champion called the toss and won it so it would be a 10 minute time limit with the Television championship of the fastest rising star in the mid-atlantic Chet Sterling on the line. Sterling and Case felt each other out a bit to begin but the champion understood the sense of urgency to retain his title, not being content with a time limit draw he went for some early pin falls but Case kicked out. Conversely, Case in his first television title match took his time and delayed the action as Sterling continued to try to get the pin but it was the Ultra J Champion who ran the TV champ head first into the turnbuckle to gain control of the matchup, when Ethan Case hits you he hits you HARD and he really had Sterling reeling for the better part of this match. The Ultra J Champ was more concerned about trash talking and claiming to be the most “TV Ready” person in CWF which allowed Sterling to get victory rolls, backslides and other pinning combinations but again it wasn’t quite enough. Case fired back and hit a couple of ace crushers but this time it was the TV champion showing his resilence and kicking out before the three! Case became frustrated as time was running down, with 30 second remaining he hit ‘Sliced Bread’ but AGAIN Sterling kicked out and that refusal to give up turned the tide as again Case went back to the ace crusher but Sterling countered to the backslide and got the pinfall with seconds remaining to retain his television championship and continue his roll.
Analysis: A stellar main event between two top notch talents with huge ceilings. Case was very pleased that his championship was not on the line and it was a huge opportunity for him to leave Gibsonville as a double champion, but the TV champion took advantage of his familiar match stipulations, the cocky attitude of his opponent and a lot of aduration from the crowd at the Sportatorium. Case has a legit claim to being one of the best juniors in the world as the Ultra J Champion but Sterling is in the midst of the hottest streak of his entire career and has been proving no challenge is too big. Heart and focus won this for Sterling as he took a beating for much of the match but kept his head in the matchup and found a pinning combination that caught Case off guard. This is a feud that looks to be continuing as Case will not accept the loss or the notion that Sterling got the better of him.
Final Analysis: POOR, POOR CHAPPY! I think that best sums up episode 4 of CWF WorldWide. The All-Stars errand boy was decimated by Chris Lea, Aaron Biggs, Samoa Joey & Smith Garrett and then to add insult to injury it was his own “teammates” in the All-Stars who furthered his misery for a grappling exhibition. The former CWF Mid-Atlantic champion Roy Wilkins has a legitimate claim to being one of the best scientific wrestlers in the world, but he has to begin to accept challenges from guys like Kazi to prove that fact. The brawls of CWF Mid-Atlantic are becoming legendary, Royal vs Zane Dawson, King vs Wohlfert, and now Brandon Day vs Dave Dawson. CWF WorldWide offers a little bit of everything for everyone and if you’re a fan of FiGHTS they certainly deliver. In the case of delivering the same can be said for the first four main events of CWF WorldWide, as a long time fan of the promotion it’s no surprise to me but the guys at the “top of the card” deliver each and everytime. Sterling and Case had a phenomenal ten minute matchup that left you wanting more and I believe they could’ve delivered had the coin toss went the other way and been a 30 minute Ultra J Championship matchup. Would Chet Sterling now be a TRIPLE champion? That remains to be seen but it seems very possible that he is a bonafide challenger to Ethan Case’s Ultra J Championship and I would love to see a match made in the future and Sterling to get that opportunity.
