LCW Showdown Television Results 03.26.08

LCW Showdown Television Results (March 26, 2008) live from the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, GA.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to LCW Showdown as "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance, the LCW Showdown theme song, played in the background and as fireworks exploded all over the arena. Schiavone reviewed last Sunday’s LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view (click here for the complete results) and announced that, as a result of Stan Hansen scoring the winning pinfall on LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin last Sunday night in the main event tag team match, the LCW Board of Directors had officially named Hansen as the number one contender per pre-match stipulations and that tonight Hansen and Austin would sign a contract for the LCW Torment pay-per-view on Sunday, April 20th.

In the parking lot, LCW Founder, and former LCW Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway arrived with LCW Chairman of the Board Jim Crockett, Jr., and immediately upon getting out of their limousine they were approached by Sean Mooney who asked Calaway why he was in the arena tonight. Calaway said, “This is Atlanta, Sean Mooney! This my hometown, man!” The audience exploded. Calaway continued, “Listen to this: Chipper Jones is in the front row, my old frienemy Ted Turner’s in a sky box, and my God could it be true? Yes, my son it is! Tommy Glavine’s back with the Braves where he belongs, baby and sitting in the front row! (The camera showed Tom Glavine laughing sitting next to Chipper Jones in the front row). And, just in case you forgot, this isn’t WCW. This is Legends Championship Wrestling and when LCW comes to Atlanta we sell out the whole damn town! The streets are empty because everyone’s here! Just like the last time we were in Atlanta. You might remember that night, Sean Mooney. LCW SuperClash last year, I went out to that ring and I defeated The Rock in front of more than 70,000 fans. But I’ll be the first to admit it, I got my ass handed to me by the Rock that night, but I walked away with my arm in the air even if I had to have some help to do it. But you know what, he earned my respect that night and I apparently earned his because I just got in the mail, a copy of the new Southland Tales DVD starring none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and I’m excited to check it out. Tonight, I’m just hear to enjoy the show and hang out with some friends.” Calaway and Crockett walked away.

LCW Heritage Champion Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin (with Precious) defeated Jesse Ventura in 5:36 by pinfall after a DDT on Precious’ purse which she nonchalantly slipped into the ring. Before the match, from the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko reviewed footage of Garvin defeated Ventura for the title last Sunday night at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view (click here for the complete results). After the match, Garvin grabbed a microphone and said, “Well, now that that’s settled… hey, Billy Crack Haynes, you apparently wanted to start something with me in the back last Sunday night at Breaking Point. Well, since I was able to do something that you couldn’t do at Breaking Point, win a title, why don’t you and I finish what you started last Sunday night at Breaking Point, why don’t we finish that at the LCW Torment pay-per-view next month? How about it?” Garvin threw the microphone down and left with Precious.

In the back, Lady Amazon was shown walking through the arena corridor arm in arm with Col. Robert Parker and the new LCW United States Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone said, “That woman has a lot of explaining to do after what she did to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express last Sunday night at Breaking Point. Will Lady Amazon explain herself and her actions at Breaking Point? Stay tuned and we’ll find out next!”

Lady Amazon came to ringside arm in arm with Col. Robert Parker and the new LCW United States Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater. Amazon explained that when she found out she was pregnant, but she was also scared because she knew exactly who the father was. Amazon said it wasn’t “that freak Kevin Sullivan.” Amazon said after being held captive by Kevin Sullivan a few months ago, she didn’t go to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express because he knew they wouldn’t understand and, besides, they never had that kind of relationship. She said she knew they never cared about her. She was there to accomplish a goal: get them the titles and help them keep them and she did that and for that all she got was a thank you and a paycheck, but she wanted more. She wanted friendship, she wanted someone to care about her, and at first she thought she’d find that in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, but as soon as she signed on to be their manager, everything changed. All they cared about was winning the titles and that was fine, for awhile, but it wasn’t enough for her, especially after she was held captive by Kevin Sullivan. Amazon thanked the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express for saving her from Sullivan and she could forgive them of anything after that… “Almost anything,” she added. Amazon said, “Anything that is, but knocking me off the ring apron and causing me to lose my baby. I couldn’t forget that. I couldn’t forgive that. And as I watched the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express coast on to another victory, I knew I had to do something. I knew I couldn’t let them take me for granted anymore. And I knew I had to punish the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, especially Ricky Morton, for what he had cost me. Do you want to know what Ricky Morton said to me when he talked to me after the miscarriage? He wasn’t worried about me, or the baby that he had killed, the child that he had taken from me. All Ricky Morton wanted to know was if I was going to be in the corner of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express at Breaking Point! Well, I was in your corner Ricky Morton and I was the one who pushed you off the top rope and cost you the titles. I took something away from you that you loved just like you took something from me that I loved.” Amazon took a moment to compose herself and then continued, “And as for the father, I waited to tell the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express because I knew who the father was and I knew it was someone that the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express wouldn’t accept and it was something that they wouldn’t understand. You see, after I was held captive by Kevin Sullivan, I didn’t turn to Morton and Gibson, I turned to a neighbor, a fellow Tennessee native…my friend, Col. Robert Parker!” Parker laughed and threw his arms in the air shouting, “I was the daddy! I was the daddy!” Amazon handed Parker the microphone and Parker said, “Thank you, my dear. Yes, it true. It was me all along. I was the daddy! You see, every Southern lady needs a Southern gentleman and Lady Amazon found hers on a cold night in Memphis. I was a shoulder when she needed a strong shoulder to cry on, I was a ear when she needed a sympathetic ear to listen to her, and I was the man when they Rock ‘n’ Roll Express couldn’t measure up! Parker said, “Lady Amazon, my sweet Lady Amazon, we might have lost that baby because of the inept and incompetent Ricky Morton, but if you’ll have me again, I’d love to create another love child with you my darlin’” Lady Amazon smiled and the two of them left the ring. Orton and Slater went to leave the ring as well, but LCW General Manager Ole Anderson came out and said, as Amazon and Parker passed by him on the entrance stage, “Well, no offense to you Lady Amazon or you Col. Robert Parker, but that was just about the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard.” Amazon and Parker were too focused on each other to even hear him and Anderson said, “Wow, they’re really in love. Bob Orton, Dick Slater, I’m actually not out here to address what just happened. I’m out here to address what’s going to happen. Tonight, you’re going to put those newly won titles on the line...against…the Wild Samoans!” Orton and Slater reacted angrily as Afa and Sika made their way to ringside.

LCW United States Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater defeated The Wild Samoans in 7:59 by pinfall when Orton pinned Afa after Slater hit Afa with his boot. During the match, the referee was knocked out by Orton’s foot as Afa hit Orton with the Samoan Drop. Meanwhile, Slater took off his boot and blasted Sika, knocking him out of the ring. Afa covered Orton for the pinfall and the win, but Slater climbed to the top rope and blasted Afa on the back of the head with his boot. Slater pulled Afa off of Orton and rolled him onto his back and then draped Orton’s arm over Afa. The referee regained his senses and made the pinfall count as Slater ran over and kicked Sika, who was trying to get back into the ring, in the head. After the match, Orton and Slater celebrated their victory as they made their way to the back.

In the sky box, LCW Founder, and former LCW Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway met with Ted Turner, who was also for a short time the LCW Chairman of the Board. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone talked about the history between the two men as they shook hands.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Paul Orndorff about his return to Legends Championship Wrestling at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view last Sunday night (click here for the complete results). Mooney asked Orndorff why he attacked his opponent tonight Brutus Beefcake, but more importantly, why he attacked his friend Magnum TA. Orndorff said, “You want to know why, Mooney?! You want to know why!? Well, first of all, that son of a bitch, my ‘friend’ Magnum TA didn’t even visit me in the hospital while I was hurt. Not once! And he had no problem taking my spot, taking my title shot! But you want to know why I really did what I did to Magnum TA last Sunday night at Breaking Point? I saw something in Don Muraco’s eyes before he slammed that cage door on my head a few months ago. I saw the determination, the desperation, the desire to be number one no matter what the cost and that was something that I had lost, but it’s all right, because Don Muraco helped me. By slamming that door on my head, Don Muraco helped me find myself. Don Muraco helped me find the man I used to be. And as for Brutus Beefcake, well, Beefcake was just collateral damage, in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Orndorff laughed and then walked away. Mooney said, “Well Orndorff will face the man he referred to as collateral damage, Brutus Beefcake, right after this. Stay with us.”

Magnum TA came out with a steel chair and cleared Orndorff and Muraco out of the ring. Magnum blasted Muraco with the chair and swung the chair at Orndorff, but Orndorff ducked and managed to get out of the ring before Magnum could hit him with the chair. Magnum angrily threw the chair to the floor at Orndorff as he left ringside with Muraco and Fuji.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko reviewed footage of Luna Vachon running down Superstar Billy Graham after Graham’s falls count anywhere match victory over Kevin Sullivan in the arena parking lot. Schaivone interviewed Graham live via satellite from his hospital bed. Graham said he had suffered a torn rotator cuff, several broken ribs, and a dislocated hip which he had replaced in 1986. Graham said because of his past drug abuse, he’s staying away from pain killers and is suffering through the pain, but warned that it was going to be nothing compared to the pain that he was going to make Kevin Sullivan and Luna Vachon suffer through when he returns. Schiavone asked Graham how long doctors said he would be out of action and Graham said it would be four to six months, but promised he would be back by SuperClash! Schiavone thanked Graham for his time and wished him the best during his recovery.

In the back, LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway was watching a bonus feature from the new Southland Tales DVD starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Calaway was on the phone and said, “Yeah, Rock. It looks great. Listen, about all that stuff that happened between us last year…” Calaway paused to listen to something that The Rock had to say and then said, “Yeah, I know, but it was just wrong, man. I was a different person, I was in a different place then, but I’ve changed and I’d like to apologize and invite you to take part in this year’s LCW SuperClash.” Calaway paused again to listen to the Rock and replied, “Well, just think about it. Let me know if you’re interested. I think we can make it worth your while.” Calaway thanked the Rock and then went back to watching Southland Tales.

Randy Savage defeated Ken Patera in 4:26 by pinfall after the flying elbow smash. After the match, Diamond Dallas Page appeared on the LegendsTron and challenged Savage to last man standing match next week on LCW Showdown for the title. Page said, “You want to try to take me out of action, monkey? You want to hit me with four flying elbow smashes? You apparently wanted to get my attention. Well, you’ve got it Savage. Next week, I want you one on one, in the center of that ring.” Savage said if there wasn’t anything in it for him he wasn’t interested. Page said he would put the title on the line, but only if it was a last man standing match because he not only wanted to finish Savage, he wanted to finish him with an exclamation point. Savage agreed and said he was going to relish in taking the title from Page. Several times during the segment, Savage and Page seemed to be talking over each other. As Savage continued berating Page after accepting the challenge, Page would randomly say things like, “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” and “Whatever.” Suddenly, as Savage continued to taunt Page on the LegendsTron, the audience began to cheer excitedly as Diamond Dallas Page made his way through the crowd and got into the ring. Savage thought the fans were cheering for him and he said, “See, Page, even these people want to see me kick your ass!” Page, in the ring, tapped Savage on the shoulder and when Savage turned around, Page dropped Savage with the Diamond Cutter before leaving through the crowd.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway was watching another bonus feature from the new Southland Tales DVD starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Nikita Koloff walked into the office and the two men starred at each other for a moment before Koloff hugged Calaway and welcomed him back. Koloff asked if Calaway was going to welcome him back and Calaway said he wasn’t, especially after what he did last Sunday night to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Koloff told Calaway he was doing what they do best, making an impact, and he thought Calaway would be proud of him. Calaway told Koloff he wasn’t proud of him and what he did was unacceptable. Calaway, “Let’s rewind the tape a little bit. I don’t know if you’ve taken too many hits to that thick Russian muscle head of yours, but the last time we were in the ring together I helped Austin take the LCW Universal Championship from you.” Koloff said he has forgiven Calaway for that and he knew he was trying to make a point to Austin and get Austin off his back, but the past was the past and they could reform the Entourage and do what they do best, dominate and make an impact. Calaway said, “You’re just not getting it, are you, Nikita? The Entourage is in the past. Our partnership is in the past. I don’t want to dominate and make an impact the way we used to anymore. That’s all in the past. That’s not who I am anymore. It’s over!” Koloff said, “Well, it not over for Russian Nightmare.” Calaway said, “And you know what, that’s all right for you, but let me make one thing perfectly clear: I want nothing to do with it! You understand? I don’t want any part of the consequences or repercussions that might come with any actions that you take. I’m trying to get my company back. I’m trying to be the Chairman of the Board again. And when I am the Chairman of the Board again, things will most certainly be different. Next time around, and there will be a next time, it’s coming soon, things will be different.” Calaway walked out of the office leaving Koloff there alone.

In the back, Slick approached Koko B. Ware and said it was said how low he had fallen. Slick said, “A couple of months ago, you were bound for main events, but last Sunday night at LCW Breaking Point you were nothing more than a hired gun, a bodyguard with a steel chair keeping Kimchee and Kamala in their locker room while that other pathetic loser Iceman Parsons lost his mind and brutally attacked Abdullah the Butcher. What’s sad and even more pathetic than that uncontrollable mental case Parsons is you being a bodyguard.” Slick laughed, but stopped laughing when Ware grabbed his lapels and pushed him up against the wall. As Slick begged off Ware, Tony Atlas appeared from behind Ware and attacked him, throwing him head first into a locker room door before leaving with Slick.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko introduced a video announcement that first aired last Sunday night at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view (click here for the complete results) about Madusa Micelli and the LCW Women’s Championship. The video was replayed on the LegendsTron. LCW Chairman of the Board Jim Crockett, Jr., appeared on the LegendsTron from LCW Headquarters in Sacramento, CA, with the LCW Board of Directors. Lying in front of him was the LCW Women’s Championship title belt. Crockett the following statement, “Many of us, like many of the legends in the locker rooms and the fans in attendance and watching around the world last week, were shocked and saddened by the announcement from LCW Women’s Champion Madusa Micelli last week on LCW Showdown that she was leaving Legends Championship Wrestling for, at this moment, an undisclosed amount of time. In light of the announcement, we are, after much thought and discussion, exercising our option as the governing body in Legends Championship Wrestling to vacant the LCW Women’s Championship effective immediately and we are declaring the title deactivated until further notice. Thank you.” The screen went blank and the audience voiced their disapproval.

The Midnight Express came out and bragged about bringing down the LCW World Tag Team Champions The Skyscrapers at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view last Sunday. The Midnight Express had the production truck show the footage of them attacking the Skyscrapers and putting them through tables at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view last Sunday night (click here for the complete results). Demolition appeared and said, “You didn’t bring down anything. You only got the Skyscrapers attention. We’re the only team in Legends Championship Wrestling that brings down teams. We don’t just bring them down. We demolish them! Last year, we brought down the Skyscrapers and next week, we’re bringing down the Midnight Express!” Demolition walked away leaving the Midnight Express in the ring to react.

From ringside, ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta introduced LCW Founder, and former LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway and the Atlanta crowd exploded for their hometown hero. Calaway thanked the audience and said it was great to be home. Calaway introduced the Atlanta Braves sitting in the front row: Mike Hampton, Tim Hudson, ff Francoeur, Chipper Jones, John Smoltz, and Tom Glavine who Calaway said had been “forgiven for your sins” (referring to Glavine’s two-season stint with the New York Mets). Glavine laughed again at the remark and Calaway thanked the audience again and left. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone reminded everyone that the contract signing between LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin and Stan Hansen was coming up next!

In the ring, Mean Gene Okerlund came out for the contract signing between LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin and the number one contender Stan Hansen. Okerlund introduced LCW General Manager Ole Anderson and LCW Chairman of the Board Jim Crockett, Jr., who came out with the contract, the challenger Hansen, and the champion Austin. Hansen signed the contract and then Austin signed the contract. Austin asked for some beers from ringside and said, “There’s no reason we can’t celebrate this contract signing with a little beer is there? I mean, hell, we’re both Texans. We’re both proud Americans even though you spend most of your time in Japan, but that’s all right. There’s a lot of money to be made over there. And, you know what, we’re both former LCW Universal Champions. Well, I’m still the LCW Universal Champion and you’ll never be the LCW Universal Champion again as long as I’m champion because I’ll be damned if I’m dropping the title to you, but all that matters is that you were once the champion. That’s something we have in common. Hell son, you beat Hulk Hogan to win the title. That’s pretty damn impressive if you ask me.” Austin then got in Hansen’s face and said, “But I’m not Hulk Hogan,” There was a tense moment between then, but Austin broke then tension when knocked his beer can into Hansen’s beer car, getting some of the beer on Hansen’s face. After Hansen wiped the beer off his face, he took a swig of the beer and then spit it in Austin’s face. Austin and Hansen began to brawl with each other and Austin began to gain the upper hand and knocked Hansen out of the ring. Meanwhile, Nikita Koloff ran out and attacked Austin from behind. Koloff picked up the LCW Universal Championship and looked at Hansen who was standing on the ring apron. Koloff told Hansen, “This is mine. But I can wait. Whether it’s you or him (pointing to Austin), this will be mine again!” Austin got back to his feet and hit Koloff with the Stone Cold Stunner and then clothesline Hansen, who had come back into the ring, over the top rope. As Hansen was leaving ringside, Koloff, still weary from the Stunner, rolled out of the ring and Hansen hit him with the Lariat clothesline. Austin called for more beers as Hansen left ringside. Austin poured beer over Koloff’s face and Koloff regained his senses and angrily left ringside.
