LCW Showdown Television Results 02.18.09

LCW Showdown Television Results (February 18, 2009) live from the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA.

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 and Zbyszko discussed the matches tonight that would take place between LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA and the Yakuza Mafia and the Disciples of Allah. Schiavone and Zbyszko reviewed footage from last week’s edition of LCW Showdown in which LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel announced that Magnum would team with the Yakuza Mafia to take on the Disciples of Allah in a ten-man tag team elimination match at the LCW Descent pay-per-view this Sunday in the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, with the fifth member of the Disciples of Allah being revealed and taking on Magnum TA tonight.

From the ring, ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta introduced Japanese wrestling legend Tatsumi Fujinami who was sitting in the front row. Fujinami stood up and waved at the crowd as they cheered.

Paul Orndorff defeated Kevin Sullivan (with Luna Vachon) in 6:50 by disqualification after Ric Flair interfered and attacked Paul Orndorff locking him in the figure four leglock as Sullivan hit Orndorff with the double stomp to the midsection. LCW Heritage Champion Superstar Billy Graham came out and chased Sullivan and Vachon out of the ring and through the crowd to the back as security officials came out and pulled Flair off of Orndorff. As Flair yelled at the security officials and tried to get at Orndorff again, Tatsumi Fujinami jumped over the security barricade, got in the ring and grabbed Flair, hitting him with the Dragon Suplex. Flair rolled out of the ring as Fujinami asked for a microphone. Ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta handed Fujinami a microphone and Fujinami, in his thick accent, said, “Ric Flair…you…me…unfinished business!” Flair threw a fit as he exited up the entrance ramp, stalked by Fujinami to the back.

My Side of the Story: Tito versus Greg DVD

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW United States Champion Tito Santana and Don Muraco defeated Rick Martel and Greg The Hammer Valentine (with Jimmy Hart) in 6:19 by pinfall when Santana pinned Martel after the flying forearm smash. After the match, Valentine attacked Santana and hit him with a steel chair before leaving ringside with Hart.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed an irate Ric Flair who demanded to know who invited Tatsumi Fujinami to the show and said if Fujinami wanted a piece of the Nature Boy, they could do business one more time. LCW Heritage Champion Superstar Billy Graham approached Flair and told him to calm down or he’d have a heart attack, “And this time it might be a real one,” referring to his “heart attack” years ago on WCW Monday Nitro. Graham said he didn’t know who invited Fujinami, but Paul Orndorff had told him that Fujinami would be in Orndorff’s corner at the LCW Descent pay-per-view this Sunday in Tokyo, Japan. Flair said he didn’t even care and it wouldn’t make any difference because the outcome would be the same: he would beat Paul Orndorff. Graham said that might be true, but suggested that maybe tonight Flair could try to beat him. Flair laughed and accepted the challenge.

Sasaki and Tenryu checked on Tenzan in the ring, who was holding his throat, but making his way to his feet. Meanwhile, Volkoff, Zhukov, Akbar and Al-Kassie lay motionless around the ringside floor. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone said, “They may have won the match tonight, but they don’t look like winners.” Larry Zbyszko added, “Forget tonight. Is this what the Disciples of Allah are going to look like this Sunday at LCW Descent?”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW United States Champion Tito Santana confronted LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel and demanded a match with Greg Valentine this Sunday at the LCW Descent 2009 pay-per-view in Tokyo, Japan.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys approached LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel and said that they had been good boys and didn’t say anything when the Destruction Crew stole their titles and Bockwinkel decided to use that as an opportunity to make them take back their titles, the titles that were always belonged to them, in not one, but two ladder matches. The Nasty Boys said they deserved a little respect, certainly more respect than they got after they won the locked box ladder match last week. They said they wanted to know who they were facing at the LCW Descent pay-per-view this Sunday. Bockwinkel said he was glad that they had brought that up because he did have a match for them at the LCW Descent pay-per-view if they were willing to accept the challenge. Bockwinkel said he had offered Mr. Fuji a chance to manage both the LCW United States Tag Team Champions and the LCW World Tag Team Champions because that’s would the case would be if his team of the Great Kabuki and Kendo Nagasaki could defeat the Nasty Boys at the LCW Descent pay-per-view this Sunday. The Nasty Boys told Bockwinkel to tell Fuji that that wasn’t going to happen because they were going to beat Kabuki and Nagasaki and they were sure that Terry Funk and Big Van Vader were going to beat the Powers of Pain as well.

Masahiro Chono (with Genichiro Tenryu) wrestled Abdullah the Butcher to a double countout in 6:08 after both men brawled out of the ring and into the crowd.

In the back, LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel approached Barry Windham, with J.J. Dillon, LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, with Baby Doll, and Ric Flair and told Windham and Blanchard that Diamond Dallas Page had requested a match with them tonight. Windham and Blanchard said they weren’t interested, but Bockwinkel said they had better get interested because the match was going to happen. Windham and Blanchard asked if Page had a partner and Bockwinkel said he didn’t know and Windham and Blanchard said they’d be interested in a handicap match and agreed to the match.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Great Muta (with Genichiro Tenryu) defeated The Iron Sheik in 5:31 by pinfall after the Shining Wizard. After the match, the Iron Sheik took off his curl-toed boot and attacked Muta from behind, hitting him across the back of the head with the curled toe. Sheik then placed Muta in the camel clutch. LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA came out and grabbed Sheik and pulled him off of Muta. The two men brawled for a moment until Muta regained his senses and spit his red mist in Sheik’s eyes. Magnum then hit Sheik with the belly-to-belly suplex and Sheik rolled out of the ring. Magnum and Muta left ringside, passing by Sheik.

In the back, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater confronted Col. Robert Parker about his whereabouts the last several weeks. Orton said they hadn’t heard from Parker since they lost a double bullrope match to the Long Riders and Parker hadn’t been returning their calls. Parker apologized and said he had been busy. Slater said he wanted to know what Parker had been busy doing and he said he had been busy trying to get them title shots, but since their loss to the Long Riders their stock with the LCW Board of Directors had fallen. Parker said he was trying to repair that damage. He was like President Barack Obama, trying to get a stimulus plan from the Board of Directors for Orton and Slater. Orton and Slater didn’t seem convinced and told Parker to make something happen or they would make something happen. They walked away and Parker said he would do what he could. Maw Bass then walked up to Parker with the Long Riders and Bass said, “What about my Long Riders? You said you would help me get them a title shot?” Parker said, “Don’t worry your pretty little head about a thing Miss Bass. We’re going to get you and your boys a title shot just like I promised.” Parker walked away with Maw Bass and the Long Riders.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Fuji corrected himself saying his English wasn’t very good. Fuji said, “When Kabuki and Nagasaki beat the Nasty Boys I will be the manager of the new LCW World Tag Team Champions.” Fuji laughed and left ringside with the Powers of Pain.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Diamond Dallas Page came out and said he didn’t have a partner and he didn’t need one. He then called out Barry Windham and Tully Blanchard who came out with J.J. Dillon and Baby Doll. The match started and for several minutes, Page fought valiantly against both Windham and Blanchard, but the numbers quickly became too much for Page and he was soon dominated by the Horsemen. Then, Don Muraco came out and stood on the ring apron, apparently volunteering to be Page’s partner and evening the odds. Page eventually made it to Muraco and when he tagged Muraco in, the crowd exploded and Muraco quickly knocked both Windham and Blanchard out of the ring before focusing his rage on Blanchard.

Diamond Dallas Page and Don Muraco defeated LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard (with Baby Doll) and Barry Windham (with J.J.

General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie, still looking beat up after being attacked by Genichiro Tenryu earlier in the evening, came out with a contract in hand. Al-Kassie was trying to keep his broken flag pole together (it had been had been broken by Tenryu earlier in the evening), as Akbar announced that the new member of the Disciples of Allah, the mystery opponent for Magnum TA wasn’t a new member at all. He explained that they told LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel that Ken Patera wasn’t interested in taking part in the match and was taking some time off, but it was all a ruse to confuse and distract the Yakuza Mafia and Magnum TA. Akbar said that LCW General Manager Nick Bockwinkel had given him the contract to have Patera sign. Ken Patera came out and signed the contract before making his way to the ring for his match with LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA.

LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA defeated Ken Patera in 9:39 by disqualification after the Yakuza Mafia and the Disciples of Allah interfered.

The two teams brawled with each other as the show went off the air.
