LCW Showdown Television Results 08.27.08

LCW Showdown Television Results (August 27, 2008) live from the Cintas Center in Cincinnati, OH.

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. From ringside, ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta introduced LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway and the LCW Board of Directors: Bruno Sammartino, Verne Gagne, Mil Mascaras, Gene Kiniski, Pat Patterson, Pedro Morales, Dominic DeNucci, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Capt. Lou Albano, Ivan Koloff, and Dory Funk, Jr., who came out to the entrance stage as a picture of Walter “Killer” Kowalski appeared on the LegendsTron. Calaway announced that last week Kowalski, a member of the Board of Directors, was taken off life support and wasn’t expected to live. Calaway noted, however, that Kowalski was a fighter and if anyone could continue to fight and survive, it would be Kowalski. Calaway said, “It is, however, with a sad and heavy heart that I have to announce today that while Mr. Kowalski has yet to pass away, he is no longer in a position to continue as a member of the Board of Directors. Therefore, the Board of Directors voted Monday to replace him effective immediately.” Calaway wished Kowalski the best on his recovery and knew the fighting Kowalski would continue to be the very definition of the words legend and champion until his passing. Calaway also wished Kowalski’s family and friends the best as they continue to battle through this difficult time. Calaway implored them to continue in their unwavering commitment and love for the truly remarkable Kowalski as they were not alone. Calaway announced that the new member of the Board of Directors would be announced by the end of the night and left with the members of the Board of Directors.

In the ring, Bill Mercer introduced Superstar Billy Graham who came out and joined Mercer in the ring. As the audience exploded, Graham thanked the fans for their support and announced that he would be a participant in the Survival Project. Graham said he would single handedly go through all 49 of the other participants if he had to if it meant becoming the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship. He said he and LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA were friends, but the fact that this might be his last chance to become the LCW Universal Champion. He said, “This might be my last run, but it’ll be a run for the gold!” Kevin Sullivan appeared with Luna Vachon and said that Graham wasn’t going to win the Survival Project because he’d have to go through him first and he wasn’t going to go through him. Sullivan taunted Graham about running him down with his car several months ago and putting him on the shelf and Graham said, “How about trying to run me down, tonight?” Sullivan accepted the challenge, but said that if he won Graham wouldn’t be allowed to participate in the Survival Project. Graham agreed to the stipulation.

In a pre-recorded sit-down interview with Bill Mercer, Harley Race explained that he attacked Big Van Vader at the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view last Sunday night (click here for the complete results) after Vader lost an “I Quit” steel cage match to Dr. Death Steve Williams. Race said that Williams had become one of the most dominant forces in Legends Championship Wrestling while Vader had become a pathetic version of a former champion unworthy of his managerial services. Race said, “I’m a former 7-time World Heavyweight Champion and I’ve done everything I could to bring Vader back to his former glory, but that fat, pathetic loser has done nothing but embarrass me time after time.”

Slick said Reed was going to wait until the dust settles after the LCW Survival Project on Sunday, September 21st. Slick said it didn’t matter who eliminates the most people in the Survival Project because Reed will still be the number one contender. Slick said Reed was going to win the Survival Project and then he’d be the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship as well. LCW International Champion Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin came out with his valet Precious and said he was glad that Reed respected him because he didn’t want to defend his title against his good friend either. Garvin said he wasn’t going to defend his title at all for 30 days because he needed to take some time off after the Elimination Chamber match. LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel came out and announced that Garvin would not only defend his title, he would defend his title tonight…against Diamond Dallas Page!

In the back, LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway was running to the parking lot with a cameraman telling the cameraman to follow him because he wanted legal proof and documented footage of what was about to happen. A car was seen pulling into the parking lot and Calaway told the car to stop and opened the car door and told the person in the back to get out. The Iron Sheik stepped out with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie and General Skandor Akbar and Calaway said the Iron Sheik was not allowed in Legends Championship Wrestling because he had fired him after he held Calaway and Baby Doll hostage at gunpoint. Calaway said that Akbar and Al-Kassie got one by him last Sunday night at the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view (click here for the complete results) when the Iron Sheik was the mystery opponent of the Disciples of Allah, but the Iron Sheik would have to leave immediately. Akbar said that while the Iron Sheik, in a fit of rage may have been the one to hold Calaway and Baby Doll hostage, an act precipitated only by Calaway’s harassment of the Iron Sheik, it was Baby Doll who actually shot Calaway. Akbar also told Calaway that while he had fired the Iron Sheik, before LCW General Manager Ole Anderson had re-hired the Iron Sheik before he left LCW. Akbar said there wasn’t anything Calaway could do about it other than live with it. Akbar and Al-Kassie walked away and the Iron Sheik stared at Calaway for a moment before walking away laughing as he left with Akbar and Al-Kassie.

Here comes the new member of the Board of Directors. Let me call you back.” Calaway hung up and called out to the new member of the Board of Directors…George The Animal Steele. Steele walked up to Calaway and said, “George! Chairman!” Calaway said, “Yes, George you and I are going to work together.” Steele said, pointing to himself, “No! George! Chairman!” Calaway laughed and said, “No, George, you’re just going to be a member of the Board of Directors.” Steele said, “George! Make decision!” Calaway smiled and said, “Hopefully more than one, George!” Steele said, “George! Board of Directors!” Calaway smiled and said, “Yes, George.” Steele’s face then softened and his voice got softer and he said, “George, sad. Love Killer.” Calaway put his hand on Steele’s shoulder and said, “I know, George. I know.” Steele got into the limousine and Calaway said, “Me too,” before getting into the limousine and driving away as the show went off the air.
