LCW Showdown Television Results 03.11.09

LCW Showdown Television Results (March 11, 2009) live from the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA.

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 talked about Nick Bockwinkel quitting as LCW General Manager as a result of Ted Turner being named the new Chairman of the Board. Schiavone announced that they didn’t know who the new General Manager would be but they had been informed by the production truck that Ted Turner was here and was on his way to the arena.

LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner came out and introduced the new LCW General Manager… Eric Bischoff! Bischoff thanked Turner for the opportunity and said it was an honor to be back in Legends Championship Wrestling. The audience booed as Turner and Bischoff walked to the back.

LCW United States Tag Team Champions The Powers of Pain (with Mr. Fuji) defeated Big Van Vader and Nikita Koloff in 7:19 by pinfall when the Barbarian pinned Vader after the flying headbutt. During the match, Kendo Nagasaki and the Great Kabuki came out and watched the match from the entrance ramp. After the match, the Powers of Pain turned their focus to Nagasaki and Kabuki and Fuji challenged them to get into the ring. Kabuki and Nagasaki stared them down for a moment before walking away.

In the back, LCW Television Champion Brutus The Barber Beefcake confronted new LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner and new LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff and demanded a match with Wildfire Tommy Rich, Austin Idol, and Hollywood John Tatum. Turner said he couldn’t wrestle all three of them at once and Bischoff said that wasn’t exactly true. Bischoff suggested a non-title gauntlet match. Bischoff added, “If any one of the three men can pin you, they will get a shot at the LCW Television Championship at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view in two weeks. However, if you can pin all three of them, I’ll let you pick your opponent for the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view in two weeks.” Beefcake thanked Bischoff and walked away.

In the back, Don Muraco confronted Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin, who was with his valet Precious, and said, “I don’t know what happened to you last week. I don’t know where you were, but I was here. Tonight, there’s no getting away.” Muraco walked away as Garvin and Precious looked on.

LCW Television Champion Brutus The Barber Beefcake came out and called out Wildfire Tommy Rich, Austin Idol, and Hollywood John Tatum who came out with their manager Missy Hyatt. The three men argued over who would go into the ring first, presumably because the last man in the ring would have the best chance of securing the title shot at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view in two weeks, but Hyatt produced three straws and Idol drew the shortest straw, with Tatum drawing the second shortest straw and Rich getting the longest straw and therefore he would be facing Beefcake last.

LCW Television Champion Brutus The Barber Beefcake defeated Austin Idol (with Missy Hyatt) in 4:11 by pinfall in a non-title match after a high knee lift. After the match, Idol rolled out of the ring and left ringside with Hyatt and joined Rich on the entrance stage as Hyatt walked down to ringside with Hollywood John Tatum.

LCW Television Champion Brutus The Barber Beefcake defeated Hollywood John Tatum (with Missy Hyatt) in 5:20 by pinfall in a non-title match after a high knee lift. After the match, Tatum rolled out of the ring and left ringside with Hyatt and joined Idol on the entrance stage as Hyatt walked down to ringside with Wildfire Tommy Rich as the show went to commercial.

Rick The Model Martel defeated Ivan Putski in 4:29 by submission with the Boston Crab. After the match, Martel refused to release the Boston Crab and kept yelling, “Give up, Santana! Give up!” Security officials rushed into the ring to get Martel to release the hold, but he continued screaming at Putski as if he had Santana locked in the Boston Crab. LCW United States Champion Tito Santana came out and when Martel saw him, he released the hold and slid out of the ring before Santana could get his hands on him.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed LCW Heritage Champion Kevin Sullivan, with valet Luna Vachon. Sullivan talked about becoming the LCW Heritage Champion and what a great champion he was, being honor and dignity back to the LCW Heritage Championship since taking it from Superstar Billy Graham last month. Paul Orndorff appeared and said he didn’t know how much dignity and honor he had brought to the title since he got a lucky break to win the tournament to even become the number one contender for the title in the first place and hadn’t defended the title once since winning it last month. Orndorff said, “Let’s cut to the chase, Sullivan. You have that because of me, because you beat me in the Heritage Contenders Tournament last month. Oh wait, that’s right, you never actually beat me. The Horsemen beat me down and took advantage of the beat down and pinned me." Orndorff said that Sullivan would be defending the title soon enough and would have to prove that he deserved to be the champion. Orndorff walked away.

LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys defeated The Bolsheviks (with General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) in 5:32 by pinfall when Brian Knobbs pinned Boris Zhukov after a running powerslam. Before the match, the number one contenders for the LCW World Tag Team Championships, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater, came out with their manager Col. Robert Parker and joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth. Parker discussed turning on Maw Bass last week and said that he did what he had to do for his team and he did what was best for business. After the match, Maw Bass came out with the Long Riders and started arguing with Parker. Bass slapped Parker across the face as the Long Riders and the Stud Stable started brawling with each other beside the broadcast booth.

Koko B. Ware defeated The Great Muta in 4:22 by pinfall when Ware pinned Muta after LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA hit Muta with the belly-to-belly suplex. After the match, Ware left ringside and celebrated in the entrance ramp with Magnum as the show went to commercial.

Don Muraco (with Sir Oliver Humperdink) defeated Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin (with Precious) in 6:11 by pinfall with a rollup. During the match, Garvin signaled something to Precious and then went to throw Muraco into the ropes, but Muraco reversed it and sent Garvin into the ropes where Precious, not looking and confident that she was tripping Muraco, accidentally tripped Garvin. When Garvin got up to yell at Precious, Muraco rolled him up for the pinfall and the win.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Diamond Dallas Page and Dr. Death Steve Williams about their upcoming tag team match with LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard and Barry Windham. Page said Williams and he had had their differences in the past, but tonight was less about them as a team and more about them working together and showing the world what was going to happened at the LCW Breaking Point pay-per-view when Williams gets his hands on Windham and he gets hands on Blanchard and the LCW International Championship. Page said tonight isn’t about gold, it’s about Windham and Blanchard feeling the bang!
