Calaway said, “After much consideration and soul searching, it is with a heavy heart that I announce to you tonight the discontinuation of weekly Legends Championship Wrestling programming, specifically the end of LCW Showdown. While we will continue with monthly pay-per-views, the last episode of LCW Showdown will be next week's show on December 30th. It has been an amazing four and a half years and I look forward to continuing to entertain you with creative, innovative storylines and honoring the legends of professional wrestling that we all love and miss seeing on a regular basis. Many of you will want to know why we're making this change. The answer is simple: after four and a half years of offering you weekly programming, as the primary creative force behind Legends Championship Wrestling, I am burnt out. If I can't give you 100% in every show, I don't want to present to you less than my best. Focusing on monthly shows will allow me to offer you the best I have to give while also giving me time to recharge my creative batteries. I am also shifting my focus to other projects and interests outside of professional wrestling. I love this business, but it is not my life and those projects and interests are starting to take up more of my time. That being said, this is not the end of Legends Championship Wrestling and weekly programming could return at anytime in the future. We hope you’ll stay with us and continue to support us as we continue to do our best to entertain you with our monthly pay-per-view events. Together, we'll make wrestling matter again.”

Everyone in your family, at one point or another has turned their back on you because they see you for what you really are: a loser. This thing between us isn't over, not by a long shot.

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview 12.02.09

2009-12-01T12:59:00.000-08:00

Following the explosive LCW Redemption Day 2009 pay-per-view this past Sunday, the Showdown Championship Draft continues and the champions – some old, some new – prepare to defend their titles once again in the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series!

Universal Ironman:
At LCW Redemption Day, Stone Cold Steve Austin retained his LCW Universal Championship against Magnum TA in a pay-per-view classic. Since his reign began, Austin has battled back over 10 title challengers, and most of them in consecutive weeks. This week, Austin hopes to do that once again when he takes on a member of the Desperadoes: Dirty Dutch Mantel. Mantel will be looking to bring the gold home for the dominating group, but he's not the only one. This past Sunday at LCW Redemption Day, Big Van Vader and Goldberg both made their ambitious goals clear; Vader verbally declared his path to the title, and Goldberg interfered in the main event title match, some say costing Magnum TA his opportunity. Can Austin do it again, beat Mantel? And what does the future hold for him. Is time running out? Is LCW about to change their clocks to “Vader Time?”

Midnight(mare) Express Calls at Showdown:
New LCW World Tag Team Champions The Midnight Express made their trip to Nastyville a memorable and a successful one when they overcame the Nasty Boys this past Sunday. In a match with history dating back to Mid-South Wrestling, the Midnight Express take on the Rock 'n' Roll Express in title competition this week on Showdown. The Midnight Express were once beaten by the Rock 'n' Roll Express in May 1984 for the then-Mid-South Tag Team titles. Could this be the ultimate Midnight(mare) for the Midnight Express?

Early Bird(man) gets the gold?
Fresh off winning the LCW International Championship this past Sunday night, Paul Orndorff is forced to defend it against the resident birdman of Legends Championship Wrestling – Koko B. Ware – in title action. Orndorff beat Barry Windham for the title this past Sunday, but can his luck continue heading into LCW Showdown this week? Or will this be a short-lived reign on the part of Orndorff?!

Atten-Hart!
The LCW Heritage Championship has become piggy in the middle, so-to-speak, as it pertains to the LCW Showdown Championship Draft as it has switched hands no less than 4 times as part of the Draft Series, and a further time this past Sunday when Bret Hart beat then-champion Kevin Von Erich. However, as Hart is set to defend his title against former WWF Champion Sgt. Slaughter, his condition is in question. This past Sunday, after beating Von Erich, Hart was locked in the Claw and the hold wasn't released for several minutes. Hart was checked over by LCW medics, but his condition is still unknown. If we know Bret, he'll defend it come hell or high water, but will that be a mistake?!

Also, Watch Out For:
- LCW United States Champion Billy Graham defends the belt against Col. DeBeers in title competition. After beating Stan Hansen in a lumberjack match on Sunday, can Graham retain his title again?
- A feud appears to be brewing between the LCW Women's Champion and the LCW Joshi Champion. Lock won the Women's Title on Sunday, and Akira Hokuto is getting a shot at the Joshi Champion, but after remarks made by former Women's Champion Luna Vachon, many fans are sensing an impending war. Is this so?

Robert Parker and Maw Bass) in 6:19 by pinfall when Savage pinned Mantel after the flying elbow smash while Hart had Bart locked in the Sharpshooter. After the match, the Dynamite Kid came out and accepted Savage's challenge to a match at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view this Sunday.

Kevin Von Erich defeated LCW Heritage Champion King Kong Bundy in 9:38 by submission with the Claw after Bundy missed an attempted Atlantic City Avalanche splash to win the LCW Heritage Championship.

Both men accepted the challenge and Hart joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match. During the match, Hart talked with Schiavone and Zbyszko about the possibility of facing either Von Erich or Bundy. Hart said he would welcome either challenge, but would really like to face Von Erich because it would be a great match featuring representatives of two great wrestling families. Hart would get his wish when Von Erich won the match and the title. After the match, Hart applauded Von Erich as he was handed the title and celebrated with the crowd as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Former LCW Women's Champion Ivory was in the ring with a bandage on her left cheek and was looking less than thrilled. "Lock! I don't know what your problem is. What I do know is that you cost me the Women's Title and I am NOT going to let that just slide. Get your boney ass down here NOW!" A burst of flame exploded from under the ring and Lock crawled out and into the ring. "Ivory, Ivory, Ivory," she said condescendingly, "You need to realize that I want to do EVERYTHING I can to destroy Luna." Confused and enraged Ivory replied, "Then why the hell did you help her win?!" Lock grinned and said, "What better way to hurt her than to give her exactly what she wants only to rip it away from her? Plus its A LOT more fun! So, nothing personal, okay?" Ivory's jaw fell in shock and she responded, "Nothing personal? Nothing personal?!? You burned my face and cost me the Women's Title you little bitch! I'm gonna beat your brains out right here, right now!"

Lock defeated Ivory in 4:34 by pinfall after the Lock Pick. After the match, LCW Women's Champion Luna Vachon was on the stage and said "I have no problem fighting both of you at Redemption Day. Harley Race said Ivory gets a rematch and I agreed on one condition: that I also get you, Lock! This ends Sunday!" Lock just laughed at her. Ivory took advantage of the distraction and hit Lock with the Poison Ivory.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) defeated Wild Bill Irwin in 5:04 by pinfall after the Lariat clothesline to become the number one contender for the LCW United States Championship.

In the back, the Midnight Express, with their manager Dennis Condrey, were shown making their way through the arena corridor. Sean Mooney approached them about their recent absence from LCW programming. Condrey said when they lost the LCW World Tag Team Championships last year to the Nasty Boys they took their ball and they went home, but at the LCW Showdown Championship Draft a few weeks ago their number was drawn and tonight they're back. Condrey said the Midnight Express was back and better than ever and ready to take back what belongs to them.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Midnight Express (with Dennis Condrey) defeated LCW World Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater in 13:28 by pinfall when Bobby Eaton pinned Dick Slater after the Rocket Launcher. After the match, LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and said, "Eaton, Lane, Condrey, before you start celebrating too much, let me be the first to welcome you back, congratulate you on becoming the new LCW World Tag Team Champions once again, and introduce you to your opponents at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view this Sunday...the Nasty Boys!" The Nasty Boys came out and joined Race on the entrance stage as the Midnight Express looked on in shock. Brian Knobbs said, "Enjoy the gold while you've got it because this Sunday you're walking into Nastyville and just like last time you visited, you're not leaving with your titles."

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW International Champion Barry Windham (with J.J. Dillon) defeated Marty Jannetty in 5:31 by pinfall after the Superplex. After the match, Paul Orndorff came out and said that he tried to use King Kong Bundy as a weapon last week to take him out, but this Sunday he'll have to do it all by himself. Orndorff said he was cleared to wrestle, but he was ready to fight...right now! Orndorff started to make his way down the entrance ramp as security officials came out and held him back. Windham and Dillon challenged him to come into the ring.

In the back, Big Van Vader confronted LCW General Manager Harley Race and said he was tired of dealing with these little nobodies and he deserved to be main eventing. Race said he wasn't sure if Vader should be main eventing, but he'd give him the opportunity to prove himself. Race told Vader that he would face Wildfire Tommy Rich at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view this Sunday. Race said he had more important things to take care of and wished Vader luck this Sunday.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Mad Maxine defeated Rockin' Robin in 0:14 by pinfall after a kick to the gut and a chokebomb. From the broadcast booth, Tony Shiavone noted that the match time might be an LCW record.

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview 11.25.09: Road to Redemption

2009-11-23T18:33:00.001-08:00

This week on LCW Showdown, every champion is in action defending their title as a result of the Showdown Championship Draft, a tag team returns to LCW Showdown for the first time in nearly a year and the road to LCW Redemption Day makes one final stop!

Shake, Rattle and Roll... into LCW Redemption Day:
This week, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin meets his final Showdown Championship Draft opponent before this Sunday's LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view: the Honky Tonk Man. Last week on Showdown, Austin's Redemption Day opponent Magnum TA (a former LCW Universal Champion himself) signed the contract for the pay-per-view match, but he doesn't know - yet - who he'll be facing. And though Austin managed to overcome Hollywood John Tatum last week, will it be the same story when he takes on the famed former WWF Intercontinental Champion this week? Or will it be the longest reigning Universal Champion in LCW history versus the longest Intercontinental Champion in WWF history this Sunday? Or will we see the presumed return match with two of the greatest talents in LCW history: Austin v. Magnum?! Find out this week.

Can Windham Win 'Em?
Paul Orndorff will have a keen eye on the LCW International Championship match this week – when reigning champion Barry Windham takes on Marty Jannetty – as he'll be facing the winner this Sunday. Windham won the LCW International Championship two weeks ago when he defeated Dr. Death Steve Williams after interference from Bill Goldberg. Orndorff's contender status came with a win in the Sam Muchnick Memorial Battle Royal at LCW Showdown at the Chase. The question is, who will Orndorff face on Sunday?

Tag Team Returns to Gold?
LCW World Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater may have been served more than they can digest this Wednesday. As, in accordance with the Showdown Championship Draft drawings, they will face returning duo of Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane, the Midnight Express. The legendary duo's biggest success came with the guidance of legend in his own right James E. Cornette back in the 1980s in the legendary Mid-South Wrestling promotion (run then by the legendary Cowboy Bill Watts). They were last seen nearly a year ago at the LCW Endgame 2008 pay-per-view, losing the LCW World Tag Team Championships to then-challengers the Nasty Boys. Will they have better luck upon their return?

Also This Week:
- LCW Heritage Champion King Kong Bundy will defend his title against Kevin Von Erich.
- LCW United States Champion Superstar Billy Graham, fresh off becoming the champion last week, faces Tully Blanchard. But where will Stan Hansen be?
- Last week, Madusa beat LCW Joshi Champion Akira Hokuto to become Joshi Champion, while Luna Vachon won the LCW Women's Champion from Ivory in a No Holds Barred match. As the Lady Legends get ready for LCW Endgame, what will happen next?
- Will things continue to explode between Macho Man Randy Savage and Dynamite Kid?

LCW Showdown Television Results 11.18.09

2009-11-18T12:02:00.000-08:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (November 18, 2009) live from the Iowa Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, IA.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to a three hour edition of LCW Showdown as "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance, the LCW Showdown theme song, played in the background and as fireworks exploded all over the arena.

LCW General Manager Harley Race came out with a clipboard in his hand and introduced the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Magnum TA. Magnum came out and joined Race in the ring. Race said there was only one element missing and that was the champion. Race noted that due to the unpredictability of the Showdown Championship Draft, he can't guarantee that Austin will still be the champion next week or there would be a contract signing tonight. Race said, "He could lose the champion tonight or he could even lose it next week, only days before Redemption Day. What I can guarantee to you though, Magnum TA, is that you will face one of three men: reigning LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, Austin's Showdown Championship Draft Series opponent tonight, Hollywood John Tatum, or his opponent next week, the Honky Tonk Man. With that guarantee, I'd like to invite you now to officially sign the contract for your championship opportunity at Redemption Day." Race handed Magnum the clipboard and Magnum was about to sign it when LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin came out and joined them in the ring. Austin talked about beating Sid Vicious in a stretcher match at LCW Showdown at the Chase two weeks ago. He talked about kicking ass and taking names in the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series. He said he would be ready to sign that contract after kicking Hollywood John Tatum's ass this week and the Honky Tonk Man's ass next week. Magnum said that there was one ass he wasn't kicking, one name he wasn't taking, and that was his. Magnum reminded Austin that he was champion because some goon squad attacked him before his match with Bill Goldberg at LCW Beach Brawl in July. Goldberg won the match via forfeit and Austin was giving the opportunity to win the title by LCW Founder Christian Calaway. Magnum said, "Then, we put our differences aside in August at Caged Heat and joined forces to take on Ted Turner's Evil Empire and we helped Calaway regain control of the company and drive Turner from LCW. At Survival Project in September, Bill Goldberg again cost me the opportunity to become the number one contender for that title (pointing to the LCW Universal Championship on Austin's shoulder) and I had to step aside while Sid Vicious, who won the Survival Project. And that's fine. I'm a man and I can play the game by the rules. But Sid Vicious changed the rules when he powerbombed you on that steel entrance stage. He took you out of commission and just like you took advantage of an opportunity when I was taken out of action, I took advantage of an opportunity when you were taken out of action. I think you and can both agree that you got the better end of the deal. I helped you retain your title by defending your title on your behalf and beating Sid Vicious for you and I became the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship last month at Night of Horrors." Austin said Magnum could stop the revisionist history right there because he remembered hitting Vicious with the Stone Cold Stunner and helping Magnum beat Vicious. Austin thanked Magnum for helping him retain the title, but what had happened between them in the past didn't matter. Austin said, "I don't want to talk about our great series of matches in the past and how we traded the LCW Television Championship in early 2006 or how we traded the LCW International Championship in late 2006, because there's one title we're not trading in 2009 and that's the title draped over my shoulder right now." Austin said he respected Magnum as the longest reigning LCW Universal Champion in the history of the company, but there was only one problem with that: he wasn't the reigning champion anymore. Magnum said he would be after Redemption Day. As the two men got in each others face, Race kept the two men apart and told Magnum to sign the contract. Race handed Magnum the clipboard and a pen and Magnum signed the contract as the crowd cheered. Race announced that the champion, whomever that might be, would sign the contract at the end of LCW Showdown next week. Austin and Magnum stood face to face exchanging words as Race implored them to wait until Redemption Day. Magnum walked up the entrance ramp and when he reached the entrance stage, Sid Vicious attacked him from behind, laying him out with a clothesline. Austin ran up the entrance ramp, chasing Vicious away as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Madusa and asked her for a comment on her shot at the LCW Joshi Championship. Madusa said, "Sean, I have a lot of history in Japan. I've won championship gold there so I know what being a joshi is all about. I also have history with Akira Hokuto, history that dates back WAY before LCW opened its doors. In 1996, I was living my dream. I helped establish a serious women's division in WCW, but I lost to Akira in a career vs. title match. I disappeared for three years and Akira took my title back to Japan with her. Now, the tables have turned and I'm going to take the new LCW Joshi Championship away from her.” Madusa walked away.

Madusa defeated LCW Joshi Champion Akira Hokuto in 6:39 by pinfall with the German suplex bridge to win the LCW Joshi Championship. As soon as Madusa was announced as the new champion, Hokuto hit her with the Northern Lights Bomb. Dump Matsumoto, Devil Masami and Aja Kong came to the ring. Hokuto shouted out orders to them in Japanese and Masami and Kong held Madusa up by her arms. The pair quickly ran out of the way as Dump Matsumoto levelled Madusa with the Dump Truck Lariat. From the crowd ran Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagayo. The two entered the ring and double dropkicked Masami and Kong out of the ring. Jaguar Yokota joined them and climbed the turnbuckle. She gave Matsumoto a flying hurricanrana and she too flipped out of the ring. The three women stood around Madusa, protecting her and staring down Hokuto. With rage in her eyes, Hokuto left the ring and took her allies up the entrance ramp with her. Yokota helped Madusa to her feet and Asuka and Nagayo held her arms up in victory as the crowd cheered and chanted, “MA-DU-SA! MA-DU-SA!”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, an irate Magnum TA confronted LCW General Manager Harley Race and demanded a match with Sid Vicious tonight! Race granted the request and Magnum walked away.

Big Van Vader defeated Wildfire Tommy Rich in 2:16 by pinfall after the powerbomb after Hollywood John Tatum interfered and blasted Rich with a steel chair while Missy Hyatt distracted the referee. During the match, Hollywood John Tatum and Missy Hyatt came out and watched the match from ringside, laughing as Vader dominated an outmatched Rich. As Rich started to mount an offense, Tatum blasted Rich with the steel chair. After the match, Vader left ringside with Tatum and Hyatt. When they reached the entrance stage, Tatum raised Vader's arm in victory, but Vader quickly laid him out with a clothesline before continuing to the back. Missy leaned down to check on Tatum as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Wildfire Tommy Rich confronted LCW General Manager Harley Race and before Rich could even say anything, Race told him that he saw what happened and he knew what Rich wanted. Race offered him a match with Hollywood John Tatum, but Rich said that wasn't what he wanted. He said he was done with his "light work" and was done with Tatum and Hyatt. He said he was making his comeback and without their interference he might have won the match. Race interrupted him and said, "You want another match with Big Van Vader?" Rich said that was exactly what he wanted and Race granted him the request and said the match would take place at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view.

Superstar Billy Graham defeated LCW United States Champion Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) in 7:52 by pinfall after a running powerslam to become the new LCW United States Champion. During the match, the referee was knocked out by Hansen when Graham moved out of the way of an attempted Lariat clothesline. The Desperados tried to interfere, but Bret Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage came out and cleared them out of the ring. As they brawled at ringside, Wild Bill Irwin ran past them, into the ring, and hit Hansen with the Lariat clothesline. Graham picked up Hansen, hit him with the running powerslam for the pinfall and the win. After the match, security officials came out to separate Hart, Savage and the Desperados. Hart and Savage got in the ring and celebrated the victory with Graham and Irwin left through the crowd as Hansen and the rest of the Desperados were escorted from ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW World Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater defeated the Powers of Pain (with Mr. Fuji) in 6:11 by pinfall when Orton pinned the Barbarian with a schoolboy rollup after Barbarian missed an attempted Kick of Fear. During the match, the Bass Brothers tried to interfere, but the Powers of Pain made short work of them, clotheslining both of them over the top rope and out of the ring.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW World Tag Team Championship Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater confronted LCW General Manager Harley Race and said they wanted one more match match with the Bass Brothers at LCW Redemption Day. Race said he would grant the request, but with one stipulation. Race said both teams need to move on and the only way he can figure to do that is to break up one of the teams. Race said that at LCW Redemption Day, Orton and Slater would defend the titles, if they're still the champions after next week's Showdown Championship Draft Series title defense, against the Bass Brothers in a tag team match in which the losers will never be able to team again! Orton and Slater said they were all right with the stipulation and were confident they'd win. Race said if they lost the titles next week on Showdown, the match would still take place at Redemption Day with the losing team having to break up, never to team again.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed the new LCW United States Champion Superstar Billy Graham, who was with Bret Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage. Graham said he was hearing talk that he was thinking about walking away from it all, retiring, but the win had put the fight back in, “this old war horse.” He said he had plenty of fight left in him and if he was going out he couldn’t imagine a better way to go out than defending the LCW United States Championship. Wild Bill Irwin approached them and said, “I want you to know, that what I did out there, I didn’t do it for you. I did what I did because of what Stan Hansen and those sons of bitches did to me last week. They beat me down like a dog. You talk about being a war horse, well this dog still has plenty of fight left in him. Now I know that doing what I just did tonight may have signed my death warrant and Stan Hansen is going to try to be my executioner, but until the day the noose is around my neck and I hang from the gallows, I’m not going to surrender. What I did tonight, I did for me, because I had to. But I want you to know this, when I walk away from the executioner, when I survive the gallows, I’m coming for you (referring to Graham) and I’m going to make that (referring to the title) mine. You wouldn’t have that if it weren’t for me.” LCW General Manager Harley Race approached them and said that Irwin had made several good points and announced that next week on LCW Showdown he was going to face Stan Hansen and the winner would receive a shot at the LCW United States Championship at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view in two weeks. Race also announced that it would be a lumberjack match! Race congratulated Graham and warned him not to look past his Showdown Championship Draft Series opponent next week, Tully Blanchard.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Macho Man Randy Savage and Bret Hart were walking through the arena corridor. Savage and Hart shook hands and went their separate ways. When Savage turned the corner, he was blasted in the head by a steel chair. The Dynamite Kid appeared around the corner with a smile on his face and dropped the steel chair before Bret Hart appeared and chased him away. Hart returned to check on Savage and called for help.

Magnum TA defeated Sid Vicious in 8:04 by pinfall after the belly-to-belly suplex. Before the match, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth. After the match, Jimmy Hart appeared in the broadcast booth and started insulting Austin. The Honky Tonk Man appeared behind Austin and when Austin turned around, Honky Tonk blasted Austin with the guitar. Hart left with Honky Tonk as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Heritage Champion King Kong Bundy defeated Paul Orndorff in 4:41 by countout after LCW International Champion Barry Windham interfered and slammed him back first into the steel ring post. After the match, Windham rolled Orndorff into the ring and put him in the corner and Bundy hit him with the Atlantic City Avalanche splash. Security officials ran out and escorted Windham and Bundy from ringside as medical officials checked on Orndorff.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Luna Vachon defeated LCW Women's Champion Ivory in 7:09 by pinfall after Lock interfered and hit Ivory with the Lock, Stock and Barrel in a no holds barred match to win the LCW Women's Championship. During the match, steel chairs, frying pans, and even a broken bottle were all used by these women, one desperate to hold onto the title and another desperate to secure it as her own. Vachon went to retrieve another weapon from under the ring, but came face to face with Lock. Minutes later in what became essentially a handicap match, Ivory had Vachon laying on a table after taking a frying pan to the head. Lock climbed the turnbuckle and delivered the Lock Pick somersault elbow drop leveling Vachon into a pile of splinters. Just as Ivory was going to high-five Lock, she threw a fireball into Ivory's face. Ivory shrieked in pain and Lock used the Lock, Stock and Barrel knocking her out. Lock dragged Vachon on top of Ivory and the referee made the pinfall count. The referee reluctantly declared Vachon the new LCW Women's Champion. She stumbled to her feet and clutched the belt tightly and cried out in joy. Lock punched Vachon in the gut and then hit her with the Lock, Stock and Barrel, knocking her out cold. From the broadcast booth, Schiavone noted that, "Lock just gets scarier and scarier. I think we know who the next challenger for the Women's Title is." Larry Zbyszko replied, "I want to know why she screwed Ivory and helped Luna only to knock her out anyway. What is wrong with this woman's head?"

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW International Champion Barry Windham (with J.J. Dillon) defeated Black Bart (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) in 5:30 by disqualification after the Desperados interfered and attacked Windham. After the match, the Desperados continued to attack Windham until Tully Blanchard came out with a steel chair and cleared them out of the ring. Blanchard helped his fellow Horseman to his feet.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Hollywood John Tatum (with Missy Hyatt) in 3:40 by pinfall after the Stone Cold Stunner. Before the match, the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Magnum TA, came out and joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match. After the match, Magnum and Austin exchanged words, Magnum from the broadcast booth and Austin from the ring, as the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview: Gold Rush!

2009-11-16T17:30:00.000-08:00

With five weeks left in the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series, and all the titles on the line, will more titles change hands again this week?

Universal Title Goes Hollywood?
This week on LCW Showdown, in accordance with the Showdown Championship Draft, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin will put up his most coveted title against Hollywood John Tatum. Last week, as LCW Redemption Day opponent Magnum TA looked on, and just days after Showdown at the Chase, Austin put away Bob Backlund in under 6 minutes. Can Austin, who had held the Universal Championship since July 12, retain the title once more? If Tatum, a former LCW Television Champion, has anything to say, Austin will be leaving Showdown without his title.

Power of the Pinfall = Championship Gold:
This week, LCW World Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater put their titles up for grabs against the Powers of Pain. The Powers of Pain, former two-time LCW World Tag Team Champions and former three-time LCW United States Tag Team Champions have always battled their critics, but recently the team has been battling stagnation, having not been seen on LCW Showdown in quite some time. The Powers of Pain are back and Mr. Fuji has assured everyone who will listen that his team will once again be LCW World Tag Team Champions.

Barry Windham Beats Death:
Last week, with help from Bill Goldberg, Barry Windham proved how unpredictable the Showdown Championship Draft Series can be when he unseated Dr. Death Steve Williams as the LCW International Champion. With Williams and Goldberg set on a collision course for the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view on Sunday, November 29th, Windham continues on in the Showdown Championship Draft Series to face Black Bart this week. Will the Desperados add more gold to their stable or will J.J. Dillon be able to give Windham the tools needed to beat his former charge, Black Bart.

Heritage Hot Potato:
Last week, like the week before, the LCW Heritage Championship changed hands when King Kong Bundy took the title from Macho Man Randy Savage, after former champion Dynamite Kid attacked Savage and cost him the belt. This week, Bundy, the new champion, goes one-on-one with Paul Orndorff. Orndorff rides a wave of momentum heading into the weeks title match, as he already has a guaranteed LCW International Championship match at LCW Redemption Day. Last week, Orndorff promised to walk into Redemption Day a champion and leave a double champion. Can that prediction prove true?!

United States Superstar:
Superstar Billy Graham will get a shot at the LCW United States Championship against current title holder Stan Hansen. Hansen managed to win the belt two weeks ago, defeating the, until then, dominant former champion Diamond Dallas Page. As a new week in the Showdown Championship Draft Series sets in, the former WWWF Champion, Graham, looks to snag a victory and a title this week.

Also, Watch Out For:

LCW Showdown Television Results (November 11, 2009) live from i wireless Center in Moline, IL.

On this Veteran's Day, tonight's episode of LCW Showdown is dedicated to all the men and women who have fought to defend our freedoms and those who continue to fight. For more information on how you can help the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of American, click here or visit iava.org.

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 reviewed footage from the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special this past Saturday in which LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Sid Vicious in a stretcher match, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater won the LCW World Tag Team Champions by defeating the Nasty Boys and the Bass Brothers in a triple threat match, and Dr. Death Steve Williams retained the LCW International Championship after another battle with Bill Goldberg. Schiavone and Zbyszko reminded everyone about the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series that would continue this week and has already seen several titles change hands, especially the LCW Heritage Championship which had changed hands twice in as many weeks. Schiavone noted every champion would defend his title tonight against a predetermined challenger as a result of the LCW Showdown Championship Draft last month.

King Kong Bundy defeated LCW Heritage Champion Macho Man Randy Savage in 6:44 by pinfall to win the LCW Heritage Championship after the Atlantic City Avalanche after the Dynamite Kid interfered and blasted Savage with a steel chair and then held Savage’s arms around the ringpost while Bundy hit him with the Avalanche.

In the back, Col. Robert Parker approached Wild Bill Irwin and said he was impressed with Irwin and thought he would fit in perfectly with the Desperados, but Parker said he needed a little favor first. Parker put his arm around Irwin and the two men walked away to talk in private as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Women's Champion Ivory came down to the ring and thanked everyone who watched her win the title at Showdown at the Chase and everyone who supported her every step of the way. She then thanked the LCW fans for their support of the Lady Legends and said that they will continue to bring the fans the best in female wrestling. Akira Hokuto and Luna Vachon came down to the ring, Vachon with burns on her face. Hokuto was clapped sarcastically as Vachon held onto a metal briefcase. Hokuto jerked the microphone out of Ivory's hand. "Touching speech," Hokuto said. "But if you don't mind, I have something to say, too." Vachon smashed Ivory on the back of the head with the briefcase. The crowd gasped and booed as Hokuto grabbed Ivory and hit her with the Northern Lights Bomb. She then picked up the microphone and untied her kimono revealing the former WCW Women's Championship around her waist. Hokuto said, "The fact that this woman is LCW Women's Champion while I, according to the official record books, have been undefeated world champion for 13 years, makes me sick to my stomach. I deserve this title more than any Lady Legend and I am being denied what is rightfully mine. All you people, you have no respect for REAL women's wrestling. You'd rather see these washed up "divas" roll around than see real physical competition." The crowd was livid, booing and shouting as Vachon yelled to them to shut up. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone commented, "I don't know where she gets off calling herself an undefeated champion of a company that has been dead for almost ten years." Larry Zbyszko replied by saying, "I just want to know where she learned to speak such fluent English!" Dump Matsumoto, Devil Masami, and Aja Kong walked down to ringside and circled the ring acting as a pseudo armoured guard. Hokuto continued, “To add further insult, not a single of my fellow Joshi legends were included in this tournament! I had to disguise myself as a American character to even get considered for this title. I see racial discrimination is still alive and well on this side of the world and to be truly honest, it makes me sicker than Ivory holding that belt ever could.” Vachon handed the case to Hokuto, who opened it and revealed a title belt and switched the WCW belt for it and put it around her waist. "This is MY new championship! I am the LCW Joshi Champion!" Vachon picked up the LCW Women's Championship as she, Hokuto and the others started stomping at Ivory. Madusa, Lioness Askua, Chigusa Nagayo and Jaguar Yokota ran down the entrance ramp to help Ivory. Hokuto and her allies scattered from the ring as she shouted at the women in the ring in Japanese. Vachon made the belt motion around her waist as they headed backstage. Madusa helped Ivory to her feet and handed the title back to her. They shook hands as the crowd cheered. LCW General Manager Harley Race appeared on the LegendsTron and said that if Hokuto wanted to make a title then she had to defend it. He announced that next week on LCW Showdown, Akira Hokuto would face the woman she screwed out of the LCW Women’s Championship at Showdown at the Chase, Madusa, for the LCW Joshi Championship. The crowd cheered and the color drained from Hokuto’s face as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Macho Man Randy Savage, holding his ribs, was shown making his way through the arena corridor, knocking down production equipment and grabbing production crew members demanding to know where the Dynamite Kid was. One of the crew members he grabbed said he thought he had seen Dynamite leave the building. Savage threw the crew member to the ground and kept up his search for Dynamite Kid.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Diamond Dallas Page about what happened last week on Showdown and this past Saturday night at Showdown at the Chase. Page said that Goldberg wasn’t there to help him hold onto the LCW United States Championship last week on Showdown, but came to him at Showdown at the Chase to make sure he would have Goldberg’s back in his match with LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams. Page said he simply returned the favor. “Call it a receipt if you like,” Page said. He said he had heard Goldberg say that he didn’t need anybody and now he doesn’t have anybody. Page said, “Now, I wouldn’t call myself an enemy or anything. Goldberg and I just have some issues to work out and sometimes it’s best to do what I did at Showdown at the Chase and just walk away, take some time away to decide where we stand and that’s what I did and what I’m going to continue to do: walk away from Goldberg until he knows where his head’s at. But I’m not an enemy because Goldberg knows better than anybody that he doesn’t need anymore enemies in Legends Championship Wrestling and he certainly doesn’t need me as an enemy. Now as for me, monkey, I’m going to do what I do best: show everyone why I’m called the King of the Legends around here.”

LCW United States Champion Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) defeated Wild Bill Irwin in 0:08 by pinfall after the Lariat clothesline. Before the match, Parker grabbed a microphone and reminded Irwin about what they had discussed and what Irwin had to do to become a member of the Desperados. Irwin looked at Hansen and then closed his eyes and Hansen took his head off with the Lariat clothesline and covered him for the pinfall and the win. After the match, the Bass Brothers, Dirty Dutch Mantel, and Black Bart came out and everyone helped Irwin to his feet and seemed to be welcoming him into the group. Parker said, “You held up your end of the agreement, but you being a part of this group, well Bill, it just isn’t going to work, son.” The Desperados then attacked Irwin, stomping him down to the ground. Parker said to Irwin, “You see, son, a real man would have fought. He wouldn’t have given up without a fight. He would have been a man and done everything he could have to not only earn our respect, but win the title. Do you really think you deserve to be with the most dominant force in Legends Championship Wrestling today? Did you really think you could be a part of this group?” Parker laughed and the Desperados took some more shots at Irwin before leaving ringside as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Barry Windham (with J.J. Dillon) defeated LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams in 8:34 to win the LCW International Championship by pinfall after Bill Goldberg interfered and hit Williams with the Spear while J.J. Dillon distracted the referee. After the match, an irate Williams chased Goldberg through the crowd and to the back.
Before the match, Paul Orndorff, who won the Sam Muchnick Memorial Battle Royal to become the number one contender for the LCW International Championship at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view on Sunday, November 29th, joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary. Orndorff said he didn’t care if he had to face Williams or Windham or anybody else who might win the title as a result of the Showdown Championship Draft Series. Zbyszko brought up the fact that as a result of the Showdown Championship Draft, Orndorff also had a shot at the LCW Heritage Championship next week. Orndorff said he wasn’t worried about King Kong Bundy and was ready to have a champion vs. champion match at LCW Redemption Day when he faces the LCW International Champion as the LCW Heritage Champion.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW World Tag Team Champions Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater defeated Doom in 11:40 by pinfall when Cowboy Bob Orton pinned Butch Reed after the Superplex. During the match, the Bass Brothers came down to the entrance ramp, but were stopped and sent to the back by security officials.

In the back, Hollywood John Tatum and Missy Hyatt approached Big Van Vader and Hyatt brushed up on Vader and flirted with him as Tatum said that he had heard Wildfire Tommy Rich talking trash about Vader saying he could beat Vader any day of the week. Vader said he had a match with Rich next week and he told Hyatt and Tatum to tell Rich that he better bring his best next week because he was going to be the one that finally puts out the wildfire. Vader walked away and Tatum and Hyatt laughed and Tatum said, “Yeah, sure, we’ll make sure Tommy gets that message.” Hyatt said, “Wait a minute, next week you have your shot at the LCW Universal Championship. You’re going to be the new LCW Universal Champion when you beat Stone Cold Steve Austin.” Tatum stopped Hyatt and said he could be facing Bob Backlund if Backlund can beat Austin for the title tonight. They both laughed and Tatum said, “Yeah, you’re right. Man, can you imagine me beating Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the new LCW Universal Champion on the same night that Big Van Vader takes Tommy Rich. It’s all coming together, Missy.” Hyatt smiled and walked away with Tatum as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney was with LCW General Manager Harley Race, who announced that another Lady Legends match had been added to next week's Showdown. Ivory will have her first title defense against Luna Vachon in a no-holds barred match, but with one catch: If Akira Hokuto even shows her face during the match, Vachon will be disqualified and will not be granted another chance for the title as long as Ivory is champion.

LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Bob Backlund in 5:40 by pinfall after the Stone Cold Stunner. Before the match, the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship Magnum TA joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary.

LCW Showdown Television Results 11.04.09

2009-11-04T11:39:00.000-08:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (November 4, 2009) live from Lakefront Arena, in New Orleans, LA.

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 reviewed footage from last week’s episode of LCW Showdown in which Sid Vicious attacked LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin on the entrance stage and slammed a stretcher across his back only two weeks before their stretcher match at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special this Saturday. Schiavone announced that it was unsure if Austin would be here tonight to defend his title against his Showdown Championship Draft opponent tonight, Brutus The Barber Beefcake.

In the back, Bret Hart approached LCW General Manager Harley Race and said he wanted to exercise his championship rematch clause and wanted a match with the Dynamite Kid tonight. Race said he couldn’t do that because of the Showdown Championship Draft. Race said he would see what he could do, but due to the rules of the Showdown Championship Draft he didn’t think there was anything he could do. Hart said, “Maybe there’s something I can do,” and walked away.

Macho Man Randy Savage defeated LCW Heritage Champion Dynamite Kid in 11:42 by pinfall with a rollup to win the LCW Heritage Championship. During the match, Dynamite locked the Crossface on Savage, but Savage managed to roll out of it into the pinfall for the win. After the match, Dynamite still had the Crossface locked on Savage during the pinfall and rolled back over with the Crossface still applied on Savage. The referee tried to get Dynamite to break the hold, telling him he had already lost the title, but Dynamite refused to release the Crossface. Bret Hart came out and attacked Dynamite forcing him to break the hold. The two men brawled as security officials came out to separate the two men. LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and, from the entrance stage, said, “Bret Hart, before this match you asked me for a shot at the LCW Heritage Championship, presumably because you wanted to get your hands on the Dynamite Kid again. Well, it won’t be for the title, but I can give you the opportunity to go one on one with Dynamite Kid one more time. This Saturday, at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special Bret Hart will face the Dynamite Kid!” Race walked away again as Hart and Dynamite tried to get at each again as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Bill Goldberg was shown making his way through the arena corridor when he was approached by LCW General Manager Harley Race. Race asked Goldberg where he was going and Goldberg said he was going to join Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth for LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams’ title defense against Abdullah the Butcher. Race said that was all Goldberg would be allowed to do. He warned Goldberg that if he even thought of leaving the broadcast booth he’d lose his shot at the LCW International Championship this Saturday.

LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams defeated Abdullah the Butcher (with General Skandor Akbar) in 7:11 by pinfall after the Spear. Before the match, Bill Goldberg came out and joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match and discussed his match with Williams at the Showdown at the Chase television special this Saturday. After the match, Goldberg applauded Williams as the two men stared at each other as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Jacqueline defeated Debbie Combs in 5:39 by pinfall after a DDT to advance to the fatal fourway match to crown the new LCW Women’s Champion at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special this Saturday. During the match, as the referee raised Jacqueline's arm in victory, Luna Vachon and Spider Lady made their way down the entrance ramp, both carrying metal pipes. Mid-ramp, a burst of flame exploded in front of the two women and they fell to the floor stunned. An ominous cackling laughter came over the arena. Spider Lady helped Vachon to her feet and the two women returned to the back. Vachon paused for a moment on the stage looking out into the crowd, but followed Spider Lady.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) defeated LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page in 12:58 by pinfall after the Lariat to win the LCW United States Championship. During the match, the rest of the Desperados: LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers, Black Bart, and Dirty Dutch Mantel came down to watch the match from ringside. They were eventually joined by the Nasty Boys, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater who stood on the other side of the ring. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone noted that the match now seemed liked a lumberjack match. During the match, the two squads outside the ring started to brawl and the brawl moved inside the ring. Page hit Hansen with the Diamond Cutter, but Outaw Ron Bass attacked Page from behind and hit him with the Texas Gourdbuster. As the referee managed to clear the two squads out of the ring, Hansen and Page slowly made their way to their feet and Hansen hit Page with the Lariat out of nowhere for the pinfall and the win. After the match, as the two squads continued to brawl outside the ring, Hansen quickly escaped with the title with Parker and Bass as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko talked about the unpredictability of the Showdown Championship Draft and noted the fact that the LCW Heritage Championship and the LCW United States Championship have already changed hands tonight.

In the back, Diamond Dallas Page confronted Bill Goldberg and asked him where he was at during his match with Stan Hansen. Page said he could have used Goldberg’s help, but Goldberg said he had his own problems to deal with. Page said he had always been there for Goldberg, but Goldberg hadn’t been there for him recently. Goldberg asked Page when he became such a woman suggesting, “Maybe it’s all that yoga you’re doing.” Page got in Goldberg’s face and said, “Well, since you weren’t there for me I don’t need to be there for you anymore. As far as I’m concerned, you’re on your own. Good luck with Dr. Death this Saturday.” Page walked away as Goldberg shouted at him, “I never needed you anyway.”

LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers defeated the Destruction Crew in 6:22 by pinfall when Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Wayne Bloom after the Texas Gourdbuster.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Baby Doll came out with Tully Blanchard for the “Doll House” interview segment. Blanchard sat in his recliner as Baby Doll introduced her guest, Wildfire Tommy Rich who came out and joined Baby Doll and Blanchard in the ring. Baby Doll played footage of the history between Rich, Austin Idol, Hollywood John Tatum and Missy Hyatt from the formation of the group to the recent split. Rich said they could have been the most dominant group if he wasn’t weighed down by the dead wood that was around him. Blanchard laughed and said, “Yeah, that’s what it was!” Rich asked Blanchard if he had something he wanted to say and Blanchard stood up and said Rich was always a pathetic loser and as far as he could tell nothing had changed. Rich got in Blanchard’s face and Baby Doll separated them before introducing Missy Hyatt who came out with Hollywood John Tatum. Hyatt and Tatum joined Baby Doll, Blanchard, and Rich in the ring and Hyatt said Blanchard was right about one thing: Rich was and would always be pathetic. She said she had made him a champion, but, much like being NWA World Champion, he was a one hit wonder. Rich said, “At least I’m not a whiny, obnoxious, spoiled, little bitch!” Hyatt slapped Rich across the face and Tatum went to attack Rich, but Rich was able to fend him off until Blanchard attacked him from behind and Tatum joined Blanchard in kicking Rich to the mat. Blanchard then picked up Rich as Tatum unloaded on Rich with vicious right hand shots. Blanchard dropped Rich and left ringside with Baby Doll. Tatum picked up Rich and Hyatt slapped him across the face and then Hyatt told Tatum to throw him through the plate glass window on the “Doll House” set. Tatum picked up Rich and threw him through the plate glass window, shattering the window, leaving Rich lying in the window, bleeding. Hyatt kicked Rich in the gut and Rich back fell out of the window and to the mat. Medical officials ran into the ring to check on a bleeding Rich as Tatum and Hyatt left ringside laughing.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, a bloody Wildfire Tommy Rich was being checked on by medical officials when LCW General Manager Harley Race approached them to check on Rich. Before Rich could even speak, Race said, “You’ve already got it. You will have a match, one on one, with Hollywood John Tatum this Saturday at Showdown at the Chase.” Rich said, “What about Missy Hyatt, I don’t want that woman anywhere near me unless I can beat that ho into a housewife.” Race said, “I’m glad you asked me about Missy Hyatt, Tommy, because I’ve already thought about that and to make sure that Missy doesn’t interfere, I’m going to have her locked inside a cage at ringside to keep her from interfering.” Race turned to the medical official and said, “Now, Doc, I want you to stitch him up real tight because after what I just saw, I have no choice but to make this match a first blood match!” Rich smiled, wiped some of the blood from his forehead and said, “Tatum made me bleed a few drops tonight, but this Saturday, I’m going to make him bleed like a stuck pig!” Race walked away as the medic continued working on Tatum.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone announced that the traditional Sam Muchnick Battle Royal would take place at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special this Saturday. Schiavone noted that the winner of the battle royal normally receives a shot at the LCW Universal Championship on the following week’s episode of LCW Showdown. “However, due to the Showdown Championship Draft Series,” Shiavone said, “Bob Backlund already has a shot at the LCW Universal Championship on that week’s Showdown.” Schiavone announced that the winner of the Sam Muchnick Battle Royal would earn a shot at the LCW International Championship at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view on Sunday, November 29th. Schiavone and Zbyszko then ran down the rest of the card for this Saturday’s LCW Showdown at the Chase television special:
- Wildfire Tommy Rich vs. Hollywood John Tatum (with Missy Hyatt who will be locked in a cage at ringside) in a first blood match.
- LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams vs. Bill Goldberg.
- LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers vs. The Nasty Boys vs. Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater in a triple threat match.
- Ivory vs. Jacqueline vs. Spider Lady vs. Luna Vachon in a fatal fourway match with the winner going on to face Madusa later in the evening for the vacant LCW Women’s Championship.
- Bret Hart vs. Dynamite Kid.
- LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Sid Vicious in a stretcher match.

Brutus The Barber Beefcake came out for his match with LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Instead of Austin, Sid Vicious came out and attacked Beefcake, hitting him with the chokeslam and then a powerbomb before leaving ringside. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone said, “It’s clear that LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin wasn’t able to make it tonight after being attacked by Sid Vicious last week. I guess now the question is will be at LCW Showdown at the Chase this Saturday to defend his title against Sid Vicious.” As Vicious stood looking at the destruction in the ring, Austin appeared behind Vicious and waited for Vicious to turn around. When Vicious turned around, Austin kicked him in the stomach and hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner. Austin went behind the curtain and rolled out a stretcher. Austin waited for Vicious to get back to his feet and hit Vicious with the title and placed Vicious on the stretcher before pushing the stretcher down the entrance ramp. The stretcher rolled down most of the ramp before tumbling over and dumping Vicious at the end of the ramp. Austin stood on the entrance stage before going to the broadcast booth and grabbed Tony Schiavone’s headset and asked the crowd, “If you think I’m going to be at LCW Showdown at the Chase this Saturday give me a ‘Hell Yeah!’” Schiavone said “Hell Yeah!” Austin realized he wasn’t on the house microphone and threw the headset at Schiavone and said into the house microphone to Schiavone, “I wasn’t talking to you, jackass.” The audience laughed as Austin turned to them and said, “If you think I’m going to kick that psycho son of bitch’s ass this Saturday give me a ‘Hell Yeah!’” The audience exploded with a “Hell Yeah” as Austin left the broadcast booth, held his title belt high above his head on the entrance stage and then left to the back as the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview 11.04.09: Continuing to Fight!

2009-11-02T13:16:00.001-08:00

As LCW rolls into another week of LCW Showdown, the Legends roll into another week of title defenses and we all take one step closer to the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special this Saturday. This week, Stone Cold Steve Austin defends the LCW Universal Championship against Brutus The Barber Beefcake and a new champion puts up... but will he get shut up?!

Will The Barber Cut the Title from Austin?
Brutus The Barber Beefcake is next in line for a shot at the LCW Universal Championship thanks to the Showdown Championship Draft. Beefcake is no stranger to championships, having once held the WWF Tag Team Titles, and several LCW titles including the LCW International Championship, but it would truly be a massive achievement should Beefcake be able to win the LCW Universal Champion on this night. Austin, however, may not be in top physical condition heading into this match, as he was brutally attacked by Sid Vicious last week on Showdown with a stretcher. As they prepare to meet in a stretcher match, some are questioning whether it's wise of Vicious to attack Austin.

This Could Get Nasty!
This week, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers face, perhaps, their toughest challengers to-date with the Showdown Championship Draft when they face the the Destruction Crew, Wayne Bloom and Mike Enos. The Destruction Crew are former AWA World Tag Team Champions, but have never held the LCW World Tag Team Championships in spite of coming close last year. Will this be their night? With the Nasty Boys and Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater awaiting the winners at Showdown at the Chase, will it be more than their careers are worth for either team to want to win this match?

Dynamite Momentum
This week, the first man to force a title switch in the Showdown Championship Draft, new LCW Heritage Champ Dynamite Kid will take on a former, multi-time, multi-company World Champion, the first LCW Universal Champion in history, Macho Man Randy Savage. Kid won the belt defeating Bret Hart in a 24-minute classic last week on Showdown, and was ever confident about this match. But can the Macho Man take the title from the ever talented Dynamite? Will we get a repeat performance from last week, by way of another classic this week? Tune in to find out.

The Story of Death, a Butcher, a title and an angry Goldberg!
This week, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams defends his title against Abdullah The Butcher. However, last week, Williams and his Showdown at the Chase opponent, Bill Goldberg, erupted into another brawl as Williams felt that Goldberg was trying to help him. This is sure to explode at Showdown at the Chase, but will Williams' being distracted by Goldberg cost him the belt?

Unstoppable
It would appear that LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page is unstoppable. Last week he ran through Austin Idol and this week he looks to do the same against Stan Hansen. What makes matters more interesting is that Page doesn't boast, brag or even speak on his victories, he just gets things done. Can he do it again?!?

Also, Watch Out For:
- The LCW Lady Legends continue their path to the LCW Women's Title fourway match at The Chase.
- Will Sid Vicious show his face?
- Does Bret Hart have anything to say on losing his title?!

LCW Showdown Television Results 10.28.09

2009-10-28T12:20:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (October 28, 2009) live from Von Braun Center in Huntsville, AL.

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 reminded everyone about the LCW Showdown Championship Draft Series that would continue this week with every champion defending his title against a predetermined challenger as a result of the LCW Showdown Championship Draft a few weeks ago.

LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers (with Maw Bass and Col. Robert Parker) defeated the Fantastics in 4:37 by pinfall when Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Bobby Fulton after the Texas Gourdbuster. Before the match, the Nasty Boys joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match and Jerry Sags noted that they weren’t worried about the Bass Brothers, the other Desperados or Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater. Brian Knobbs said all those guys were nasty, but not as nasty as the Nasty Boys and they were going to take back their LCW World Tag Team Championships.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams defeated Don Muraco in 9:44 by pinfall after the Spear. During the match, Goldberg tried to interfere in the match, but Williams hit Goldberg with the Spear, knocking him out of the ring. After the match, Goldberg got back in the ring and confronted Williams. Williams told Goldberg he didn’t need any help from him. The two men started to brawl as security officials came out and pulled them apart as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Wildfire Tommy Rich about being attacked by Hollywood John Tatum last week and Missy Hyatt costing him the LCW Heritage Championship. Rich asked Mooney if he was really surprised. He said Hyatt was really only good at one thing and it had nothing to do with wrestling. Rich said he wasn’t worried about Tatum and he was done with Hyatt. He said he was going back to basics and doing what he does best: wrestling.

Dynamite Kid defeated LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart in 24:17 by submission with the Crossface. During the match, Dynamite attempted a flying headbutt, but Hart avoided the move and locked the Sharpshooter on Dynamite. Dynamite managed to get to the ropes, but Hart pulled him away taking him back to the middle of the ring. Dynamite again managed to get to the ropes and this time Hart was forced to break the hold. As Hart approached Dynamite, Dynamite kicked him in the gut, grabbed him by the trunks and pulled him over his head, through the ropes, and Hart tumbled out of the ring. As Hart tried to get back in the ring, Dynamite got to his feet and tried to suplex Hart into the ring. As he had Hart in the air, Hart managed to fall and sneak behind Dynamite, rolling him up for an attempted pinfall, but Dynamite managed to get out of the attempted pinfall and locked on the Crossface with which he forced Hart to submit for the win to become the new LCW Heritage Champion.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, the new LCW Heritage Champion Dynamite Kid was shown celebrating with several Legends including the Honky Tonk Man, Jimmy Hart, Greg Valentine, and the Rougeau Brothers. Hart asked Dynamite Kid about having to face Macho Man Randy Savage next week and Kid said, "Did you not just see what I did out there? Do you think I'm worried about Randy Savage at all. No, I'm not worried about him at all. I'm going to beat him next week and I'm going through the rest of the other challengers for this title in the Draft Series. This is the only time this title is changing hands in the Draft Series."

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko discussed the first title change in the "Showdown Championship Draft Series." Zbyszko said, "See, this is what I love about this concept. It's about opportunities. On any given week, any one of these randomly drawn challengers could win the championship they've been drawn to challenge for. Tonight was Dynamite Kid's night. His name was randomly drawn three weeks ago and he was prepared and ready for this opportunity and he took advantage of it and tonight he's the new LCW Heritage Champion." Schiavone asked if Austin Idol would have the same fate with LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko announced that the traditional Sam Muchnick Battle Royal would take place at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 7th. Schiavone noted that the winner of the battle royal normally receives a shot at the LCW Universal Championship on the following week’s episode of LCW Showdown. “However, due to the Showdown Championship Draft Series,” Schiavone said, “Bob Backlund already has a shot at the LCW Universal Championship on that week’s Showdown.” Schiavone announced that the winner of the Sam Muchnick Battle Royal would earn a shot at the LCW International Championship at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view on Sunday, November 29th.

Spider Lady defeated Wendi Richter in 5:09 by pinfall after a gutwrench powerbomb. The match started evenly contested, but Wendi Richter quickly got the upperhand. Just as Richter was about to deliver her swinging armwrench facebuster, Luna Vachon came down and sprayed mace in her face as Spider Lady distracted the referee. After the gutwrench powerbomb, Spider Lady pinned Richter and Vachon raised her arm in victory. Backstage Lock was watching the match, scowling at the monitor and cracking her knuckles.

On the LegendsTron, a special video featuring Madusa’s career highlights played as Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive” played in the background. The video also featured cutaways to an interview with Madusa in which she talked about her career highlights included Madusa winning the LCW Women’s Championship from Akira Hokuto in 2005 and from Luna Vachon in 2008. One of the cutaways had Madusa noting that she had never actually lost the LCW Women’s Championship; it had been stripped from her every time. She said, “I don’t care who comes out of that fatal fourway match at LCW Showdown at the Chase, I don’t care who faces me in the final match to crown the new LCW Women’s Champion. I know two things: I’m going to be the LCW Women’s Champion for a third time at the end of the night and no one is ever taking this title from me without killing me first!”

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview (October 28, 2009): Championship Draft Series Continues

2009-10-26T16:47:00.000-07:00

The LCW “Showdown Championship Draft” continues to roll along as LCW heads into another week of Showdown, the champions of LCW have another set of challengers awaiting them this week. But with the LCW Showdown at the Chase continuing to draw a bit closer, not all minds are set on the Showdown Championship Draft, as we'll see in this preview.

Universal Pain:
This week, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin takes on Kevin Sullivan with the title on the line. In the last two weeks, Austin has put down “The Raging Bull” Manny Fernandez and “Dangerous” Dan Spivey in championship competition. However, experts say that Austin's head may not be in the game, as he also has a Stretcher Match with Sid Vicious at the LCW Showdown at the Chase special to worry about. Can Austin retain the title with his head thinking about Vicious?

A Fantastic Opportunity:
This week, the Bass Brothers put their coveted LCW World Tag Team titles on the line against the Fantastics. The Fantastics are a team with heritage dating back to 1984, and could easily pick up tag team gold this week. However, like Austin, the Bass Brothers have a very big match, a Triple Threat match, for their gold at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special. They, too, may not have their head in the game, but with Maw Bass at their side, you could be rest assured that they'll get it together and do what it takes to retain the belts.

Death Defending:
This week, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams attempts to battle back the challenge of one “Magnificent” Don Muraco. Last week, after successfully retaining the title against One Man Gang, Williams had a physical confrontation with the man he has a rematch with for the title at Showdown at the Chase, Bill Goldberg. Williams goes into his title defense this week preparing for a “Showdown” at “the Chase”, but where will Goldberg be?

Family Feud:
LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart will, thanks to the Showdown Championship Draft, defend his title against a man he once called family, the Dynamite Kid. Last week, Kid attacked Hart in the locker room, promising to take the title from, "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be." But can Dynamite, who turned on Bret Hart earlier in the year with Jim Neidhart, take the title from his one-time friend?

3rd time's a.... BANG?
Austin Idol, a former NWA Georgia Heavyweight Champion and NWA National Heavyweight Champion, looks to capture the LCW United States Championship from a man who has really been on a roll lately, LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page. Page has looked impressive for the majority of this year, with his alliance with then-Chairman Ted Turner, winning the LCW King of the Legends and then becoming United States Champion. Some say Page is unstoppable, but can he prove that to be the case?

LCW Showdown Television Results (October 21, 2009) live from the Savannah Civir Center in Savannah, Georgia.

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 reminded everyone about the LCW Showdown Championship Draft that occurred last week and announced that all the titles would be on the line tonight and the challengers were drawn in the draft last week.

LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers (with Maw Bass and Col. Robert Parker) defeated the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff (with General Skandor Akbar) in 6:21 by pinfall when Ron Bass pinned Volkoff after the Texas Gourdbuster. Before the match, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Wildfire Tommy Rich about his upcoming title shot against LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart. Rich said this was the opportunity of a lifetime, to prove himself against a former World Champion. Rich said many forget that he is a former NWA World Champion, even more forget that he beat LCW General Manager Harley Race to become the NWA World Champion, but no one would forget when he beat Hart tonight for the title. Missy Hyatt approached Rich and said she wanted to be in his corner when he won the title just like she was when he won the LCW Television Championship. Rich said, “Like when you were in my corner at Night of Horrors and you hit me with a shoe and helped Austin Idol beat me?” Hyatt apologized and said nothing like that would ever happen again. Rich said he would give her one more chance, but if he didn’t walk out of there as the LCW Heritage Champion, she wouldn’t be walking out with him and would never be with him again. Rich left with Hyatt behind him as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart defeated Wildfire Tommy Rich (with Missy Hyatt) in 8:53 by pinfall with a schoolboy rollup after Hyatt accidentally tripped Rich instead of Hart. Rich turned to chastise Hyatt for the interference when Hart rolled up Rich for the pinfall and the win. After the match, Rich yelled at Hyatt and grabbed her as if he was going to hit her when Hollywood John Tatum attacked Rich from behind, hitting him with a DDT before leaving ringside with Hyatt.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Bill Goldberg defeated Nikita Koloff in 11:39 by pinfall after the Jackhammer after Goldberg hit Koloff with the Spear after ducking an attempted Russian Sickle clothesline.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, the Dynamite Kid attacked Bret Hart from behind and threw him head first into a wall, almost knocking him out. Dynamite leaned down and picked up the LCW Heritage Championship and looked at it for a moment before he said to Hart, “See you next week, Bret.” Dynamite dropped the title on Hart’s chest and then walked away.

LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page defeated Ron Garvin in 3:02 by pinfall after the Diamond Cutter.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams about his upcoming title defense against One Man Gang. Bill Goldberg appeared and said he would have Williams’ back. Williams tried to say that he didn’t need Goldberg’s help, but Goldberg wouldn’t hear it and said he wanted to ensure that it was Williams that he would face at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special for the LCW International Championship. Goldberg said he’d be there for Williams if he needed him before walking away.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Luna Vachon (with Spider Lady) defeated Rockin' Robin in 2:21 by pinfall after the Luna Eclipse to advance to the fatal fourway match to crown the new LCW Women’s Champion at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 7th. Following a brief lock-up, Vachon made quick work of Robin. The former WWF Women's Champion was left motionless in the ring as Vachon left with Spider Lady.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Luna Vachon and Spider Lady returned to their dressing room to find their bags on fire and written in red paint on the wall: BURN FOR YOUR SINS. Spider Lady pours water from a large vase with orchids on a table onto the flames, but Vachon was paralyzed as she stared at the paint.

LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams defeated One Man Gang in 8:10 by pinfall when Williams pinned Gang after Bill Goldberg interfered and hit Gang with the Spear. After the match, Williams got in Goldberg’s face and the two men started to brawl as security officials came out to separate the two men.

Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass watched from the entrance stage with approving smiles on their faces as the Desperados stood in the ring over the fallen Nasty Boys, Orton and Slater as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez in 11:17 by pinfall after the Stone Cold Stunner. After the match, Sid Vicious attacked Austin from behind and the two men brawled until Fernandez got back to his feet, attacked Austin, and locked him in the Bull’s Brand chokehold. Vicious kept security officials and referees out of the ring as Fernandez continued to apply the Bull’s Brand. LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and demanded that Fernandez release the hold and Vicious leave the ring if he still wanted his shot at the title. As Fernandez released the hold and left ringside with Vicious, medical officials started making their way to the ring to check on Austin. Two of the medical officials had a stretcher and started making their way down the entrance ramp with it, when Race said, “Wait, bring that stretcher back. First of all, Austin won’t need it, but I might have some use for it.” Race told Austin to get up and he slowly made his way to his feet, pushing away medical officials who were trying to help him. Race announced that at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 7th, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin would defend his title against Sid Vicious…in a stretcher match!

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview: Championship Draft Series

2009-10-19T12:45:00.000-07:00

Last week on LCW Showdown, a Draft took place. No, this was not a split-brand draft, but the “Showdown Championship Draft” where every championship had challengers drawn for the next ten weeks of LCW Showdown. While the champions now know what challenges are ahead of them for the next ten weeks, they now have to defend those titles every week for the next nine weeks. This week, the innovative concept continues.

Universally Respected:
Stone Cold Steve Austin has earned universal respect from the members of the Legends Championship Wrestling fan base. He may be a loud-mouth at times. He may be a little rough around the edges. And his talk may make network producers cringe, but one thing no one can ever deny, is the Texas Rattlesnake's heart and desire. This week, the current reigning LCW Universal Champion will defend his title against the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez. However, Austin has two other opponents to worry about, on top of his Showdown Championship Draft Series opponents. Sid Vicious – a man he meets at LCW Showdown at the Chase on Saturday, November 7th, and Magnum TA – a man he meets at LCW Redemption Day on Sunday, November 29th. Can Austin stay focused on all of the challenge ahead of him?

International Mayhem:
Dr. Death Steve Williams earned the admiration of everyone around the world when he put on the performance of a lifetime at LCW Night of Horrors two weeks ago against Bill Goldberg. Now, the LCW International Champion will try and hang on to his gold when he faces One Man Gang this week on Showdown. Gang is, without a doubt, a unpredictable force to be reckoned with in Legends Championship Wrestling. Will Williams be able to keep his belt, and will Goldberg be at ringside, or even anywhere near, this week?

Will Garvin Feel The Bang?
LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page will attempt to force former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ron Garvin to feel the bang in another Showdown Championship Draft match this week. Can Garvin upset Page to win the LCW United States Championship as he did Ric Flair in 1987 to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Last week, Page battled back the challenge of Iceman King Parsons, but can the current King of the Legends go 2-0 in the Championship Draft Series?

Bret Hart's Battle:
This week on LCW Showdown, LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart defends his title against another former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Wildfire Tommy Rich, in what should be a classic confrontation. Last week, Bret Hart won out against Tito Santana in his first title defense in the Showdown Championship Draft Series, but can he do it again?

World Tag Team Turmoil:
Last week, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers overcame the Bushwhackers in a title match as part of the Showdown Championship Draft Series. This week, they face a much more daunting challenge when they take on former WWE World Tag Team Champions The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. Can the Bass Brothers overcome another obstacle, with LCW Showdown at the Chase looming over them, where they'll defend their titles in a triple threat match against former champions the Nasty Boys and long-time rivals Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater?

Also, Watch Out For:
- What will be the reaction of Luna Vachon be after burning pictures of her were found in her locker room last week?
- What action will the LCW Lady Legends see this week?
- Will we expect to see, or get an update from, LCW General Manager Harley Race?

LCW Showdown Television Results 10.14.09

2009-10-14T12:20:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (October 14, 2009) live from the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA.

Tonight's episode of LCW Showdown is dedicated in loving memory to Captain Lou Albano (1933-2009).

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 last Sunday night's LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view including the fact that Magnum TA defeated Sid Vicious and is now the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship. Schiavone and Zbyszko also noted the passing of former LCW manager and WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano.

From ringside, ring announcer Gary Michael Capetta announced Captain Lou Albano's passing this morning at the age of 76 and asked for a moment of silence as the bell was tolled ten times in his memory and honor.

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out with the champions of Legends Championship Wrestling: LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers (with Maw Bass), LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams, who came out to a thunderous eruption of applause after his performance last Sunday night at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view with Bill Goldberg, and the LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Calaway announced that over the next ten weeks, all six of these men would be defending their titles every week on LCW Showdown. Their opponents would be drawn at random over the course of the evening. Calaway announced officially that as a result of his victory over Sid Vicious last Sunday night at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, Magnum TA was officially the new number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship and would get his shot at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view on Sunday, November 29th. Austin stepped up and grabbed the microphone from Calaway and said he was fine with Magnum TA getting a shot at the title at Redemption Day, but said, “I want to talk about kicking Sid Vicious’ ass tonight! A few weeks ago, that son of a bitch tried to take me out of action when he powerbombed me on this stage and he did just that. He took me out of action, but he made one mistake. He didn’t kill me! I want that big, dumb son of a bitch in that ring tonight!” Calaway said, “I can’t do that.” The audience booed, but Calaway said, “Let me finish. I can’t do that…tonight. As much as I’d like to, Steve, the ball is already rolling on the “Showdown Championship Draft,” and I can’t do anything about it as the LCW Board of Directors has already approved the concept and it begins tonight. But the “Showdown Championship Draft” has no impact or influence on the Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 7th. I’ll tell you what, title or no title because tonight someone’s name could be drawn that could beat you for that title. But no matter what, whether you’re champion on November 7th or not, I promise you a match, one on one, with Sid Vicious!” The audience cheered and Austin said with or without the title, for or not for the title he was going to kick Sid Vicious’ ass, “And that’s the bottom line, ‘cause Stone Cold said so!” Austin left the entrance stage. Calaway excused all the other champions, but LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart who would be there while Calaway drew for his opponent this week and the contenders over the next nine weeks on LCW Showdown. Calaway drew Tito Santana’s name as Hart’s opponent tonight and then drew the other nine names as contenders for the next nine weeks: Wildfire Tommy Rich, Dynamite Kid, Macho Man Randy Savage, King Kong Bundy, Paul Orndorff, Kevin Von Erich, Sgt. Slaughter, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, and Kamala.

LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart defeated Tito Santana in 8:56 by submission with the Sharpshooter after Santana missed an attempted flying forearm smash. Santana and Hart shook hands before the match and Hart helped Santana to his feet after the match.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out again with a tumbler with less names than before and announced that this tumbler was especially for the tag teams of Legends Championship Wrestling. He said all fourteen tag teams, sans the reigning LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers, had their names in the tumbler and would be drawn for the “Showdown Championship Draft.” Calaway drew for the Bass Brothers’ opponents this week and the contenders over the next nine weeks on LCW Showdown. Calaway drew the Bushwhackers name as the Bass Brothers’ opponent tonight and then drew the other nine names as contenders for the next nine weeks: The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, The Fantastics, The Destruction Crew, Doom, The Powers of Pain, The Midnight Express, The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, The Wild Samoans, and The Rougeau Brothers. Former LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys came out and demanded to know why their names weren’t drawn. Calaway explained that there were fifteen tag teams in the tumbler and only ten spots available in the draft. Brian Knobbs said he was going to exercise their rematch clause and demanded a match with the Bass Brothers at Showdown at the Chase. Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater came out and Orton said, “What about us? We have unfinished business with those sons of a bitch, the Bass Brothers as well.” Calaway said at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 7th, the LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers would defend their titles against the Nasty Boys and Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater in a triple threat match! Moments after the announcement, as the Nasty Boys, Orton and Slater exchanged words, the Desperados (the Bass Brothers, Stan Hansen, Dirty Dutch Mantel, and Black Bart) attacked the Nasty Boys, Orton and Slater from behind before security officials came out and separated the men. Calaway sent the Bass Brothers to the ring and called out the Bushwhackers who came out as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW World Tag Team Champions The Bass Brothers (with Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass) defeated The Bushwhackers in 5:27 by pinfall when Ron Bass pinned Luke Williams after the Texas Gourdbuster. After the match, Orton and Slater chased the Bass Brothers, who left their titles in the ring, from ringside. The Bushwhackers picked the titles up, pointed to the rafters and then placed them down in the ring before leaving ringside. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone noted that the act was a tribute to Captain Lou Albano who helped guide a record 15 tag teams to championship gold throughout his legendary career.

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out again with the original tumbler and the LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page. Calaway drew Iceman King Parsons' name out of the tumbler as the Page’s opponent tonight and then drew the other nine names as contenders for the next nine weeks: Ron Garvin, Austin Idol, Stan Hansen, Wild Bill Irwin, Superstar Billy Graham, Tully Blanchard, Col. DeBeers, Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin, and Bill Goldberg. Page looked shocked when Goldberg’s name was drawn and Calaway smiled at the thought of the two friends, who actively worked to keep Ted Turner in power as Chairman of the Board and expel Calaway from Legends Championship Wrestling only two months ago, having to potentially face each other in less than two months. Calaway sent Page to the ring for his match with Parsons as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page defeated Iceman King Parsons in 6:54 by pinfall after the Diamond Cutter.

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out again with the tumbler and LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams who, once again, received thunderous applause from the audience. Calaway drew Nikita Koloff’s name as Williams’ opponent tonight and then drew the other nine names as contenders for the next nine weeks: One Man Gang, Don Muraco, Abdullah the Butcher, Barry Windham, Black Bart, Marty Jannetty, Koko B. Ware, Big Van Vader, and Ken Patera. Calaway sent Williams to ringside after a handshake and called out Williams’ opponent tonight, Nikita Koloff who came out as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Wild Samoans, Don Muraco, and Bruno Sammartino wrestled Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Sheik (with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie), Greg Valentine (with Jimmy Hart), and Ivan Koloff in 6:09 to a no contest in an eight-man tag team match dedicated to Captain Lou Albano after George The Animal Steele came out and cleared everyone out of the ring. In his hands was his stuffed animal, Mine, which had Albano's trademark rubber bands safety pinned to his face. Albano started tearing apart one of the top turnbuckles and yelled, "Lou," as he did. All the men involved in the match were managed by Albano at one time. Sammartino calmed Steele down as he was about to destroy another turnbuckle and accompanied him to the back.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Nikita Koloff defeated LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams in 12:02 by disqualification after Bill Goldberg interfered and hit Koloff with the Spear. After the match, Williams confronted Goldberg about his interference and Koloff, after getting back to his feet, wanted a piece of Goldberg as well. Williams calmed Koloff down and asked Goldberg what was wrong with him. Goldberg grabbed the microphone and said, “Last Sunday night, we tore the house down and I want to do it one more time. I want one more chance at that title.” LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out and announced that at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 7th, Williams would defend the LCW International Championship against Bill Goldberg in a Night of Horrors rematch. Goldberg left the ring as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Backstage, the fire alarm is going off and several crew members run into a spare dressing room. A pile of photographs of Luna Vachon lay burning on the floor. The crew members quickly extinguished the flames and noticed written on the wall in red paint the words: BETRAYAL OF THY SISTER.

Ivory defeated Leilani Kai in 6:32 by pinfall after the Poison Ivory to advance to the fatal fourway match to crown the new LCW Women’s Champion at the LCW Showdown at the Chase television special. During the match, Kai gave Ivory a powerful big boot and climbed on top of the turnbuckle to do the Hawaiian Splash. Ivory recovered just in time and avoided the attack. Kai stumbled to her feet, only to have her face mashed into the mat by Ivory's devastating Poison Ivory.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out again with the tumbler and LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Calaway drew Dan Spivey’s name as Austin’s opponent tonight and then drew the other nine names as contenders for the next nine weeks: Manny Fernandez, Kevin Sullivan, Brutus Beefcake, Bob Backlund, Hollywood John Tatum, Honky Tonk Man, Dirty Dutch Mantel, Greg Valentine, and Tracy Smothers. Calaway sent Austin to the ring and called out Dan Spivey who attempted to come to ringside with Sid Vicious, but Calaway stopped Vicious and made him walk to the back.

LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Dan Spivey in 5:28 by pinfall after the Stone Cold Stunner. After the match, Sid Vicious ran down to ringside and attacked Austin, hitting him with a chokeslam. Vicious then moved to Spivey and helped him to his feet before hitting him with a chokeslam as well. Austin went to hit Vicious with a Stunner, but only managed to kick Vicious as he rolled out of the ring before Austin could grab him for the Stunner. Vicious backed up the entrance ramp, keeping his eyes on Austin the entire time. Spivey slowly made his way to his feet and moved to attack Austin, but Austin spun around and hit Spivey with the Stone Cold Stunner before leaving ringside and chasing Vicious up the ramp as the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview: Showdown Championship Draft?

2009-10-13T10:57:00.000-07:00

Only three days removed from an amazing LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, Legends Championship Wrestling heads full speed into the “Showdown Championship Draft,” a new, innovative concept that we have yet to get full details on.

Showdown Championship Draft:
At the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, legendary commentary duo Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko talked about a concept so revolutionary that it would literally change Legends Championship Wrestling, and the direction the company is set to go in. It's called the “Showdown Championship Draft” and while not many things are actually known about new concept, we're set to find out this week on LCW Showdown. But we want the following questions answered: What is it? Who does it involve? Why does it contain the word “draft” when LCW doesn't have split brands?! All these questions are hopefully going to be answered this Wednesday on LCW Showdown.

Magnum vs. Austin:
Magnum TA is credited for many things; surviving a horrific car accident, having one of the most storied and meteoric rises to fame that Legends Championship Wrestling has ever seen, and being the longest reigning LCW Universal Champion in the company's history. Stone Cold Steve Austin is a man credited for single handedly putting the infamous Attitude Era on the map. He is the current LCW Universal Champion. Some say that from the father, the son and the holy spirit comes a new trilogy: breaking glass, breaking records and breaking necks, which is what Austin was and still is to this day, all about. Now, these two forces will collide at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view because, Magnum successfully defended the Universal Title against Sid Vicious this past Sunday on behalf of Austin, with a title shot on the line for Magnum with the win. Magnum vs Austin is a dream match in the hearts and the minds of many LCW fans, and finally we're going to get to see it. But what will happen between them this Wednesday on LCW Showdown when the road to Redemption Day officially begins?! And will Austin be affected by the Showdown Championship Draft?

Match of the Year:
This past Sunday at LCW Night of Horrors, LCW fans were treated to a match that was one-of-a-kind from a competition standpoint, as Dr. Death Steve Williams managed to successfully retain his LCW International Championship against the one and only Bill Goldberg. Early in the night, Goldberg credited Williams not only as a man, but as a champion. Williams recently found out that his cancer has returned, but instead of forfeiting the match and relinquishing the championship like a lesser man might have, Williams stayed to fight. The two had a classic confrontation, lasting over twenty minutes, and causing the fans to hang on to their every action. Williams even had the opportunity to end Goldberg in the middle of the ring while the official was unconscious, and Goldberg had the opportunity to take advantage of interference from LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page. Neither man took advantage of those opportunities and instead showed respect for their opponents by keeping the match honest and fair. Heading into LCW Showdown this week, with Williams still champion, and everyone unsure of how Goldberg feels about Page involving himself, as well as the mystery of the Showdown Championship Draft, no-one's sure what to expect of the champion. Find out this Wednesday.

Final Eight:
In the twenty-woman LCW Night of Horrors battle royal, we finally got ourselves down to the last eight Lady Legends who, this Wednesday on LCW Showdown will start a single elimination tournament to decide the four remaining participants who will go on to a fatal fourway match at LCW Showdown at the Chase on Saturday, November 7th, and then the winner of that match going on to face Madusa Micelli for the vacant title. The remaining eight are: Ivory, Leilani Kai, Luna Vachon, Rockin' Robin, Wendi Richter, Spider Lady, Debbie Combs and Jacqueline. So many possibilities await us as the Lady Legends tournament begins. Who will we see get a spot to fight for the coveted LCW Women's Championship? We'll find out this week on LCW Showdown. Let's also not forget that Luna Vachon turned on her own sister, Lock, and attacked her in the back to get her spot in the battle royal back. Luna clearly proved that she wouldn't let anyone, even her own sister, stand in the way of her winning the LCW Women's Championship. She also officially declared her independence from both Kevin Sullivan and One Man Gang by attacking both of them in a match between them in which she was serving as special guest referee. Will Vachon be able to use this momentum to take herself all the way to the LCW Women's Championship?

New Champs! New Champs!
At the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, Outlaw Ron Bass and Cowboy Don Bass became the LCW World Tag Team Champions, when they took the belts from the Nasty Boys. Much to the delight of their manager Col Robert Parker and their mother Maw Bass. However, there were two people not so enamored with the Bass Brothers' victory: Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater. They promised to come after the titles and we've been told that they mean business! What will they possibly have in mind heading into LCW Showdown?

LCW Showdown Television Results (October 7, 2009) live from the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pennsylvania.

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 last week’s main event in which Magnum TA defeated Bill Goldberg to defend the LCW Universal Championship on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s behalf against Sid Vicious at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view this Sunday.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed the team of Magnum TA, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams, LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart, and Paul Orndorff about their upcoming eight-man tag team elimination match against Sid Vicious, Bill Goldberg, LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page, and the Honky Tonk Man. Orndorff said he was going to prove to everyone that he hasn’t lost a step and was going to use this as a warm-up before his match with LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday. Hart said he wasn’t underestimating the Honky Tonk Man or looking past him, but he was eager to get his hands on Bill Goldberg as well. Hart said their past was no secret and their recent history in LCW was about to force them to revisit that past and settle their issues once and for all. Williams said Hart didn’t need to worry about Goldberg because he wasn’t going to make it out of Night of Horrors alive. Magnum said he had two personal messages for Sid Vicious from Stone Cold Steve Austin. He said he was going to deliver the first one tonight, but the second one he was saving for Night of Horrors and had a feeling Austin might even deliver that message in person!

Stan Hansen (with Col. Robert Parker) wrestled Dirty Dutch Mantel (with Maw Bass) to a no contest in 8:20 after the referee started to lose control of the match and the two men started to brawl. The Bass Brothers, Black Bart, Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater came out and joined the brawl as Parker and Maw Bass got in the ring and started to separate their teams. Parker said he had had enough and wanted these two groups to become an unstoppable united force. He said he and Maw Bass were joining forces with or without them. He said he knew Stan Hansen would be onboard because Hansen knew the heights that Parker was going to take him. He also said he knew the Bass Brothers would never abandon their mother. He turned to Orton, Slater, Mantel and Bart and asked if they would stand with them. Mantel said he was with them and Bart said he was with them and they moved to stand with Hansen and the Bass Brothers. Orton and Slater looked at each other and asked for the microphone. Orton said he and Slater wanted nothing more to do with Parker or any of his plans. He said they had been through this before with Parker and Maw Bass and the Bass Brothers and it was too much drama for them. Slater said it was crap that Parker was putting all his focus on Hansen. Slater asked about he and Orton who were on the cusp of winning the LCW World Tag Team Championships awhile ago, but now they’ve been all but forgotten about in favor of Hansen and they were sick of it. Orton and Slater said they were done with Parker and they wanted no part of this group. They moved to leave and everyone tried to convince them to stay, but they continued walking away. Orton said he and Slater had a non-title match with LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys tonight and when they beat them, if the Bass Brothers can win the titles at Night of Horrors this Sunday, they are coming for them! Orton and Slater left the ring as the men in the ring reacted.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Ivory and Jacqueline defeated Leilani Kai and Judy Martin in 6:32 by pinfall after the Poison Ivory. As Ivory and Jacqueline's arms were raised, Lock and Spider Lady attacked the two women and set Jacqueline up to receive the Luna Eclipse. Madusa ran in from the crowd and pushed Lock off the turnbuckle and smashed Spider Lady with the LCW Women's Championship. Madusa joined Ivory and Jacqueline in the ring and raised their arms as Lock and Spider Lady left up the ramp shouting towards the ring.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed the team of Sid Vicious, Bill Goldberg, LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page, and the Honky Tonk Man, with his manager Jimmy Hart, about their upcoming eight-man tag team elimination match against Magnum TA, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams, LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart, and Paul Orndorff. Page said Orndorff was going to be in for a rude disappointment if he thought he was taking the LCW United States Championship from him. Honky Tonk Man said he was ready to make his greatest hit at Night of Horrors when he beats Bret Hart for the LCW Heritage Championship. Goldberg said he was going to take the LCW International Championship from Williams and would ask, “Who’s next?” Vicious said he knew who was next: Magnum TA and the LCW Universal Championship!

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Tully Blanchard (with Baby Doll) defeated Austin Idol in 9:57 by pinfall after Wildfire Tommy Rich, with his valet Missy Hyatt, interfered and hit Idol with the Wildfire Driver while Hyatt and Baby Doll distracted the referee.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Tully Blanchard and Baby Doll confronted LCW General Manager Harley Race and said he beat Tito Santana last week and he just beat Austin Idol and questioned why he didn’t have a match at Night of Horrors. Race ask how Blanchard beat Santana last week and Blanchard said with the slingshot suplex. Race added after Manny Fernandez interfered. Race asked how he beat Austin Idol and Blanchard said he knew what Race was trying to say. Race said if Blanchard could win on his own, without interference from someone else help then maybe he can have a match next month at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view. Race walked away as Blanchard and Baby Doll looked on.

Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater pinned LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys in 13:44 by pinfall in a non-title match when Orton pinned Brian Knobbs after the Bass Brothers interfered and Outlaw Ron Bass hit Knobbs with the Texas Gourdbuster. After the match, as Orton and Slater stood victorious the Bass Brothers left ringside and realized what it meant for them if they won the LCW World Tag Team Championships from the Nasty Boys at LCW Night of Horrors: Orton and Slater were coming after them.

LCW Showdown Television Preview 10.07.09: Eight Man Mayhem!

2009-10-06T19:18:00.000-07:00

Last week, former LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA earned the right to defend the title he held for almost a year on behalf of reigning champion Stone Cold Steve Austin at LCW Night of Horrors. However, he must make it past an eight-man tag team match this week.

Eight Man Mayhem:
As announced at the close of LCW Showdown last week, there will be a gargantuan eight-man tag team match this week as Magnum TA, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams, LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart and Paul Orndorff team to face Sid Vicious, Bill Goldberg, the Honky Tonk Man and LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page. Sid Vicious looks to weaken Magnum four days before their title clash at LCW Night of Horrors. Bill Goldberg looks to redeem his loss last week, and possibly take out Steve Williams before the pay-per-view. For Bret Hart, it’s about shutting Honky Tonk Man’s mouth once and for all, and Diamond Dallas Page looks to come out unscathed ahead of his title defense. Only fays before the epic pay-per-view, which team can come out victorious?!

Check out LCWShowdown.com this Wednesday for the complete results.

Parker and Bass Unite:
In a shocking turn of events last week, during an argument of all things, Col. Robert Parker and Maw Bass embraced and kissed in the middle of the ring on LCW Showdown. Bass has previously turned down Parker’s offer of the two courting in favor of focusing her attentions on her boys, the Bass Brothers. After the kiss, or after everyone in the ring separated the kiss and finally stopped fighting, Col. Parker had a special proposition: “Don’t you see what this could be? Look around. Look around the ring. This is perhaps the most dominant assemblage of men in the history of this company. Can you imagine what we could do if we banded together?”

However, Parker’s plea, seconded by Bass, fell on deaf ears. All hell broke loose and security was soon called. What will happen this week, as it appears that Parker and Bass are now an item? And what will this mean for their respective teams: the Bass Brothers and Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater -- sworn enemies?! With Orton and Slater already feeling slighted by Parker's latest acquisition, Stan Hansen, how will they feel if Parker and Bass actually manage to unite their forces.

Check out LCWShowdown.com this Wednesday for the complete results.

Lady Legends Get Fiery:
They’re not "Divas", and they don’t call themselves "Knockouts,", but they are the most elite group of women wrestlers on the face of the earth: the LCW Lady Legends. Last week, Lock and the mysterious Spider Lady beat Peggy Lee Leather and Terri Powers in tag team action. Lock looks, as of this moment, like the odds on favorite to win the LCW Women’s Championship. But can anyone kill her momentum this week? And just who is Spider Lady?!

Check out LCWShowdown.com this Wednesday for the complete results.

The Veritas:
Once again last week, LCW Showdown was the site of a strange occurrence, as “The Veritas” promised once again to come to LCW Showdown. However, once again, we didn’t get any new clues as to who The Veritas is. One thing’s for sure, he/she/they are looking for revenge on all those who have done him/her wrong. But when?!

Check out LCWShowdown.com this Wednesday for the complete results.

Final Thought:
LCW Showdown, the final one before the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, looks to be the most unpredictable since our return four weeks ago. All this preview can do is speculate what will really happen. Tune in Wednesday night for another unpredictable, unstoppable adrenaline rush that is LCW Showdown.

LCW Showdown Television Results (September 30, 2009) live from the Breslin Events Center in East Lansing, MI.

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 said that last week, Race announcing that LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin would not defend the title at LCW Night of Horrors after being powerbombed on the entrance stage by the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Sid Vicious, two weeks ago. Race announced that Austin wouldn’t be medically cleared to compete at Night of Horrors and said that someone would defend the title on his behalf. He said that either Bill Goldberg or Magnum TA would defend the title on Austin’s behalf against Sid Vicious and tonight’s main event would determine who that man would be. He also reminded everyone that whoever goes on to face Vicious at Night of Horrors, if he can beat Vicious and retain the title for Austin, he will automatically become the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship.

LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart defeated Kevin Sullivan (with Luna Vachon) in 6:46 by submission with the Sharpshooter. During the match, Sullivan was near the ropes as Hart had him in the Sharpshooter. One Man Gang came out and confronted Luna Vachon. Sullivan was reaching out for the ropes and begging for Vachon to help him reach the ropes. Gang was standing between Sullivan in the ring and Vachon on the floor and moved out of the way so Vachon could help Sullivan, but she wouldn’t. Gang leaned into the ring and punched Sullivan in the face and Hart pulled Sullivan from the ropes to the center of the ring and Sullivan submitted. Gang walked away with a smile on his face as he and Vachon exchanged words.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Col. Robert Parker, who was with Cowboy Bob Orton and Dirty Dick Slater. Parker said he was so impressed by Stan Hansen’s performance last week that he made Hansen an offer and it was an offer that Stan Hansen accepted: his services as Hansen’s manager. Stan Hansen appeared and said Parker would be the missing piece in the puzzle that would complete the puzzle. Parker said he was going to be the missing piece in the puzzle that was going to get the LCW Universal Championship back around Hansen’s waist. Parker walked away with Hansen and Orton and Slater trailed behind as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Marty Jannetty and the Fantastics defeated Stan Hansen, Cowboy Bob Orton, and Dirty Dick Slater (with Col. Robert Parker) in 7:31 in a six-man tag team match by disqualification after Dirty Dutch Mantel and Black Bart, with their manager Maw Bass, came out and interfered in the match, attacking Marty Jannetty and the Fantastics.

The Bass Brothers came out and sided with Bart and Mantel as the argument started escalating to shoving. Maw Bass and Col. Robert Parker started arguing with each other and Maw Bass slapped Parker across the face. Parker and Bass stared at each other for a moment before they embraced and started making out. Hansen, Orton, Slater, Mantel, Bart, and the Bass Brothers looked disgusted and tried to separate the two. Orton and Slater managed to pull Parker off of Maw Bass. Parker demanded a microphone as the guys started arguing again. Parker said, “Enough! Stop it! All of you, stop it! Come on! Don’t you see what this could be? Look around. Look around the ring. This is perhaps the most dominant assemblage of men in the history of this company. Can you imagine what we could do if we banded together?” Maw Bass grabbed the microphone and said, “He’s right, guys. If we banded together, all of us, we’d be the most unstoppable force in professional wrestling. What do you think, guys?” Everyone in the ring looked at each other for a moment before they started brawling with each other again. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone said, “If they could get their issues worked out, this could be the most dominant group in the history of professional wrestling!”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Honky Tonk Man (with Jimmy Hart) defeated One Man Gang in 5:42 by pinfall after the Shake, Rattle and Roll swinging neckbreaker after Hart tripped Gang from ringside. After the match, Hart and Honky Tonk said into the camera, “Look out, Hitman, ‘cause you’re going to be on my list of Greatest Hits soon and that title is going to be mine, baby!”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Backstage Sean Mooney stopped Lock on her way to the ring and asked her comments on taking Luna's place in the battle royal. Lock grabbed the microphone from his hands and got right into his face. "Luna is my sister. Not by blood, but by something deeper. We are sisters by darkness. I would do anything for her and that includes destroying Madusa. If Madusa was half the woman Luna is, then she would have never taken the coward's way out. Madusa was afraid of real competition. Now its time to give her something to really be afraid of". The Spider Lady walked up beside her. "My new friend and I are going to make Madusa wish she never came to LCW in the first place". Lock shoved the microphone into Mooney's chest and the pair walked away as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Lock and Spider Lady defeated Terri Powers and Peggy Lee Leather in 6:04 by pinfall after Spider Lady pinned Leather with a rollup while holding the ropes. When the referee went to raise their arms, Lock pushed him away and raised her own and Spider Lady's as she made the belt motion to her waist.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The lights in the arena went out and thunder rolled and lightning struck the LegendsTron before a video package aired featuring religious symbolism and a voiceover that said, “He will show you the truth, the light, the way. He never claimed to be an icon, but struck down with furious vengeance those who misled you. The Veritas is coming…”

Magnum TA defeated Bill Goldberg in 12:04 by pinfall after LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams interfered and hit Goldberg with a spear. After the match, from the broadcast booth, Larry Zbyszko said, “I don’t know how smart of idea that was for Dr. Death Steve Williams. He could have had Bill Goldberg focused on Sid Vicious and becoming the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship by beating him going into Night of Horrors and now Bill Goldberg is focused only on him and winning the LCW International Championship.” LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and announced that next week’s main event would feature an eight-man tag team elimination match with the team of Magnum TA, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams, LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart, and Paul Orndorff taking on the team of Sid Vicious, Bill Goldberg, LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page, and the Honky Tonk Man!

LCW Showdown Television Official Preview: Opportunity of a Lifetime

2009-09-28T18:38:00.001-07:00

One week removed from LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin hearing the news that no champion wants to hear, a huge main event is set to take place.

Thank You:
First of all, on behalf of all the Legends Championship Wrestling staff, we'd like to send out a HUGE thank you to each and every member of the Legends Championship Wrestling fan base who checked out last weeks edition of LCW Showdown. More then 7000 of you tuned in to find out the condition of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and we'd all like to thank you for that.

Goldberg vs. Magnum:
Last week on LCW Showdown, LCW General Manager Harley Race dropped a bombshell on LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Because of the brutal assault on the champion the previous week at the hands of Sid Vicious, Race told the LCW fans that Austin would not be able to compete at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on October 11. However, instead of stripping Austin of the strap, Race decided to spice things up; Vicious would still receive his title shot, and Austin would keep his title, but someone would defend the title on his behalf. This leads us to this weeks main event: Goldberg vs. Magnum TA, with the winner moving on to defend the LCW Universal Championship at the pay-per-view.

With Goldberg having split attention – also focused on his about with LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams – will Magnum be able to defeat the man who, many believe, cost him the LCW Universal Title to begin with? Or will the Human Wrecking Ball once again prove his dominance in LCW?

Doll House Chaos:
Last week, during an edition of Baby Doll's interview segment, “The Doll House”, with Manny Fernandez as her guest, Doll spoke to Fernandez about his match with Tito Santana. “But just like a cowardly matador running from a bull, he keeps running the other way,” spat Fernandez, who was speaking of his opponent. However, Santana was keen to prove The Raging Bull was a raging liar, and interrupted the segment and attacked Fernandez. The rivalry between these two, heated in temper, can only get worse as we head to LCW Night of Horrors on Sunday, October 11. But what will they do next?

Vicious Vixens:
Thanks to LCW General Manager Harley Race listening to the LCW fans pleas, the LCW Women's Championship has been re-instated and a twenty woman battle royal will take place at LCW Night of Horrors. However, last week, we got our first taste of what the renewed division will bring, when Lock took out Velvet McIntyre, on behalf of Luna Vachon who won't be competing in the tournament due to other commitments involving Kevin Sullivan, and his match with One Man Gang. What will this week on LCW Showdown bring with it, as the Lady Legends continue to show that they've still got it?

A “Nasty” Wake-Up Call?:
Last week, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys got a snapshot of reality, as they came to realize just how much jeopardy their belts are in. With the Young Stallions – fresh off a reformation, Black Bart and Dutch Mantel – new to the LCW tag team scene, and the ever brutal Bass Brothers who will do whatever it takes to please their mother and manager, Maw Bass, who will be the Nasties number-one contenders? Will we find out this week?

Talking Business:
After Stan Hansen made short work of Marty Jannetty in singles competition last week, Col. Robert Parker made an appearance, apparently wanting to speak with Hansen. What does Parker have in mind, and how will it affect Hansen's career? Will we find out this week on LCW Showdown?

Other Questions:
- What do Kevin Sullivan and One Man Gang have in store for one another this week?
- With Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy Hart on his tail, what state of mind will LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart be in this week?
- Diamond Dallas Page has a new contender for his LCW United States Championship, in the form of Paul Orndorff. Will Mr. Wonderful have anything to say about it this week?
- Who is/are the Veritas? When is/are he/they going to actually appear in Legends Championship Wrestling after weeks of vignettes? Will we get any update?

It's all to play for as the road to LCW Night of Horrors continues to close in. We're sure all the fans who checked in last week, plus even more fans, will tune in to this blockbuster edition of LCW Showdown!

LCW Showdown Television Results 09.23.09

2009-09-23T12:14:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (September 23, 2009) live from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ.

Tonight’s episode if dedicated in loving memory to Lester Welch and Karl Afflis.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to a special three-hour edition of LCW Showdown. They then reviewed footage from last week’s edition of LCW Showdown and the attack of LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin by number one contender Sid Vicious. Vicious attacked Austin before a match and powerbombed him on the entrance stage. Schiavone reported that Austin was released from the hospital last week and would be interviewed live via satellite from his home in Victoria, Texas tonight to talk about his condition after the attack and rumors that he won’t be medically cleared to defend the title against Vicious at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th.

LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart and One Man Gang defeated Honky Tonk Man (with Jimmy Hart) and Kevin Sullivan (with Luna Vachon) in 5:39 by disqualification after Kevin Sullivan hit Gang with a steel chair. During the match, Sullivan demanded that Vachon go around to the other side of the ring and distract Gang. At first Vachon refused, but he grabbed her and yelled at her to do it. Vachon reluctantly went to the other side of the ring, jumped up on the ring apron and distracted the referee as Sullivan grabbed a steel chair and jumped up on the ring apron. Vachon told the referee to turn around and pointed at Sullivan as he blasted Gang with the steel chair. The referee called for the bell and awarded the match to Hart and Gang by disqualification as Vachon left ringside with Sullivan trailing behind her, yelling at her all the way up the entrance ramp and to the back.

In the back, LCW General Manager Harley Race approached Sid Vicious. Race told Vicious that what he did was inexcusable, disgusting and cowardly. Race said he was removing Sid Vicious from the main event at the LCW Night of Horrors and removing his status as the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship. Race said he warned Vicious that if he interfered in the match he would be removed as the number one contender. Vicious told Race that he didn’t interfere in the match. He said he attacked Austin before the match. Race added that Vicious attacked him from behind like a coward. Vicious said, “Why don’t I show you what a coward I am, old man?” Race got in Vicious’ face and said, “I really wish you would. I wish you’d give me a reason not only kicking your ass, but a reason to send you to the unemployment line.” Vicious backed off and said he didn’t care what Race did, but wanted Race to remember that he didn’t interfere in the match. Vicious walked away.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Young Stallions defeated Black Bart and Dirty Dutch Mantel in 6:18 by pinfall when Paul Roma pinned Mantel after Marty Jannetty interfered and hit Mantel with the Rocker Dropper. Before the match, LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match. They spoke about how impressed they were by the spark that had been lit in the Young Stallions since they had reunited. Brian Knobbs said they weren’t taking anybody lightly and they’d take on all comers. When asked about Bart and Mantel, Jerry Sags said they’d need some more time together before they could be considered a threat to the Nasty Boys reign as champions. Zbyszko asked about the Bass Brothers and Sags said, “Now, those boys, we’d like to see some more of those boys in the ring. They’re almost as nasty as we are, man.” After the match, Jannetty celebrated the victory with Roma and Powers as the Nasty Boys looked on and nodded approvingly when Roma and Powers signaled to them from the ring. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone noted that, regardless of the means, the Young Stallions continued their unprecedented winning streak. Suddenly, the Bass Brothers, with Maw Bass, ran down to the ring and attacked the Young Stallions and Marty Jannetty. Bart and Mantel joined the attack until the Nasty Boys left the broadcast booth and cleared the heels out of the ring. Bart, Mantel, and the Bass Brothers retreated with Maw Bass as the Nasty Boys challenged them to get back into the ring.

In a pre-recorded, sit-down interview, Sean Mooney interviewed LCW General Manager Harley Race about the reinstated LCW Women's Championship. Race explained why the title was reinstated saying, "We came to the decision that although we have the utmost respect for Madusa and her decision to surrender the Women's Title, the choice to disband the Women's Division was wrong. It wasn't fair to the Lady Legends and it wasn't fair to the fans.” Mooney then asked what the plans for the LCW Women's Championship were and Race replied that a twenty-woman battle royal had been scheduled for the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th, with the last eight Lady Legends in the ring moving on a single elimination tournament. The winners of the four opening round matches would then go on to the LCW Showdown at The Chase Television Special on Saturday, November 7th, to wrestle in a fatal fourway match with the winner of that match going on to face former LCW Women’s Champion Madusa in a one-on-one match to crown the new LCW Women's Champion. When asked who would be featured in the battle royal, Race said to Mooney, “Mooney, check this out.” Race pointed in the camera and a video played featuring the Veronicas’ “4ever” and video footage of the Lady Legends in the battle royal: Leilani Kai, Donna Christanello, Judy Martin, Mad Maxine, Peggy Lee Leather, Terri Powers, Debbie Combs, Rockin' Robin, Wendi Richter, Ivory, Joyce Grable, Velvet McIntyre, Jacqueline, Susan Sexton, Heidi Lee Morgan, Lady Apache, Spider Lady, Bambi, and Candi Deivne. Mooney finished by saying that he's sure the fans will be excited about the return of the Lady Legends, thanked Harley Race for his time and said to stay tuned for the first match of the new Women's Divsion. Race said there was one more entrant into the battle royal that we didn’t know about and it would be a match between Velvet McIntyre and Kevin Sullivan’s hand picked replacement for Luna Vachon’s in the battle royal. Race said he was interested to see who Sullivan had selected to be Vachon’s replacement and Mooney said he was as interested as well and he was sure so too were all the fans. Mooney said we’d find out who Luna Vachon’s replacement was right after the commercial break.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko discussed the women’s division and the video which featured footage of a woman in a black mask and black bodysuit named Spider Lady. Zbyszko said he wanted to know who that was. Schiavone said, “Well, whoever’s under that mask we know it’s not the Fabulous Moolah, may she rest in peace.”

Kevin Sullivan came out with Luna Vachon and got into the ring. Sullivan explained how last week LCW General Manager Harley Race offered Luna Vachon a spot in the Lady Legends battle royal at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th. Sullivan said he wanted her focused on what he was focused on: destroying the One Man Gang, especially now that she’s the special guest referee in his match with Gang at Night of Horrors. Sullivan said she knew what she had to do and she was going to do it. Sullivan said he had arranged to have someone to take Luna’s place in the battle royal and introduced Luna’s sister…Lock! Lock came out and got in the ring for a match with Velvet McIntyre.

Lock (with Kevin Sullivan and Luna Vachon) defeated Velvet McIntyre in 4:47 by pinfall after a Hammerlock Suplex pin that Tony Shiavone said has been nicknamed the Lock, Stock & Barrel. Madusa’s entrance song began to play over the speakers. She came out and stood at the entrance stage with the LCW Women's Championship belt and locked eyes with Lock. Madusa raised the belt up over her head and the crowd roared.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko talked about the upcoming interview, live via satellite from his home in Victoria, Texas with LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. A production assistant was seen placing a lapel microphone on Austin as he spoke with Jesse The Body Ventura.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko reviewed footage from last week’s edition of LCW Showdown on which the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Sid Vicious, attacked LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. After showing the footage, Schiavone introduced Jesse The Body Ventura who appeared on the LegendsTron live via satellite from Austin’s Victoria, Texas home. Ventura introduced Austin and asked him about his condition. Austin said he was feeling fine. He said Vicious’ powerbomb gave him a Grade II concussion, but he would be in the ring at LCW Night of Horrors to defend his title like a champion. LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and apologized for the interruption. Race said he already knew that Austin wouldn’t be medically cleared to wrestle at Night of Horrors. Race said the doctors had told him that Austin should not wrestle for at least 30 days. He said he didn’t want to strip Austin of the title for failure to defend the title within the 30-day limit. Race suggested that someone defend the title on his behalf at Night of Horrors. Race said to Austin, “If your replacement can successfully defend the title on your behalf,” Race said, “He will automatically become the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship at the LCW Redemption Day pay-per-view in November.” Austin didn’t look happy, but listened as Race continued, “However, if Sid Vicious does manage to defeat the man who replaces you in the Night of Horrors main event and becomes the new LCW Universal Champion, you will automatically be the number one contender at Redemption Day.” Austin said he didn’t like the arrangement, but he’d have to deal with it. Austin asked who would be taking his place at Night of Horrors and Race said he was glad Austin asked. Race said that next week on LCW Showdown, a match will take place between two men to determine who would go on to Night of Horrors to replace Austin and take on Sid Vicious. Race said those to men were the former LCW Universal Champions: Magnum TA and Bill Goldberg! Austin said that no matter what happened, no matter who won, whether Sid Vicious won the title or not, Vicious had a target on his back and was going to get his ass kicked. Austin said, “It’s just a matter of when and where, but it’s going to happen. And that’s the bottom line ‘cause Stone Cold said so!”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Paul Orndorff defeated Bill Goldberg in 6:22 by disqualification after LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page interfered and hit Orndorff with the Diamond Cutter. After the match, LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and announced that at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view Page would defend his title against Paul Orndorff. He added that tonight, Page would defend the title against Magnum TA…right after the commercial break!

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Stan Hansen defeated Marty Jannetty in 1:06 by pinfall after the Lariat clothesline. After the match, as Stan Hansen was making his way up the entrance ramp, he was approached by Col. Robert Parker who put his arm around Hansen and walked with him to the back saying he wanted to talk business with Hansen.

The lights in the arena went out and thunder rolled and lightning struck the LegendsTron before a video package aired featuring religious symbolism and a voiceover that said, “He will show you the truth, the light, the way. His was a heart blackened by deceit, but you believed in him and gave him the strength to carry on. The Veritas is coming…”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Baby Doll came out with Tully Blanchard for the “Doll House” interview segment. Doll introduced her special guest, the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez. Fernandez told Blanchard to stay away from him because, “I still hate your guts and I’d just as quick cut you and leave you for dead, daddy, as you left me…” Baby Doll calmed Fernandez down and told him that Blanchard wasn’t why he was there. Doll said, “You’re here to talk about Tito Santana.” Fernandez said, “That’s right, Baby Doll, I am. You just make sure that piece of crap (pointing to Tully Blanchard) stays in that seat.” Fernandez said he kept taking the fight to Tito Santana, “but just like a cowardly matador running from a bull, he keeps running the other way.” Tito Santana came out and ran down to ringside and into the ring. Baby Doll quickly exited the ring as Blanchard attacked Santana as he got into the ring. The two men brawled until Santana managed to gain the upper hand and threw Blanchard out of the ring. Fernandez charged toward Santana and Santana threw him into the Doll House set, knocking it down. Blanchard got back in the ring and attacked Santana from behind. Blanchard hit Santana with the slingshot suplex before leaving ringside with Baby Doll. Fernandez locked the Bull’s Brand triangle choke as security came out and pulled him off Santana and out of the ring as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams defeated Tully Blanchard (with Baby Doll) in 7:55 by pinfall after the Oklahoma Stampede. From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone noted that with Bill Goldberg on the cusp of being the man designated to defend the title on LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin’s behalf at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, he could have to wrestle twice at the event if he can beat Magnum TA next week. Zbyszko said that if he does have to wrestle twice, he shouldn’t look past Williams.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Wildfire Tommy Rich (with Missy Hyatt) defeated Tracy Smothers in 6:08 by pinfall after the Wildfire Driver. During the match, Austin Idol provided guest commentary with Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth. After the match, Rich turned his attention to Idol in the broadcast booth and said, “You’re next.” Idol stood up and said, “We don’t have to wait, Rich. We can do this right now.” Suddenly, Hollywood John Tatum attacked Idol from behind and slammed his head into the broadcast booth and tried to choke him out with the headset wire as security officials arrived and dragged Tatum away. As he was being pulled away, Tatum was heard screaming, “I did it for you, Missy. I did it for you!”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW General Manager Harley Race approached Wildfire Tommy Rich and Missy Hyatt and told them that next week on LCW Showdown they would be teaming with Hollywood John Tatum to take on the team of Austin Idol and Tracy Smothers.

Magnum TA defeated LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page in 9:42 by disqualification after Sid Vicious interfered and attacked Magnum TA. Moments later, Bill Goldberg came out and hit Magnum with a spear as he was getting back to his feet. Vicious and Goldberg stood face to face as the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Official Preview: Stone Cold's Night of Horror?

2009-09-21T10:56:00.000-07:00

As Legends Championship Wrestling draws closer to the LCW Night of Horrors 2009 pay-per-view, it's all eyes on the top prize, well, for Sid Vicious anyway, as he looks to take the gold from LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. But what shape will Austin be in? Is there a chance that Austin will have to vacate the title due to injury?

A Vicious Assault:
Last week on LCW Showdown, as Stone Cold Steve Austin was preparing to defend his LCW Universal Championship against the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez, he was attacked from behind by number-one contender Sid Vicious, in an assault that landed Austin to a hospital bed. It was announced on LCW's official Twitter account that Austin was resting comfortably at home, but eyebrows are still raised as to whether Austin will make it to LCW Night of Horrors on Sunday, October 11th. Will Austin be at LCW Showdown this week? Will Sid Vicious be reprimanded for his actions? Tune in to find out.

(Dr.) Death Warmed Up:
After losing to Sid Vicious, LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams' night went from bad to worse when his own number-one contender, Bill Goldberg, floored him with a devastating and rib cracking spear. Goldberg has proved his dominance in LCW, making 11 eliminations in the LCW Survival Project, but now, he has his sights locked on to the man many consider the most dominant monster LCW has ever seen. What will happen this week? Will Williams have a response for the Human Wrecking Ball?

Leaving A Bull's Brand Mark:
Last week, when his match with Big Van Vader ended in a double disqualification, Tito Santana found himself on the receiving end of a vicious assault by the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez. These two have been waging a war that started when Fernandez was revealed as Santana's attacker. However, some see it as unfair that Santana was not allowed to interfere in Fernandez's championship opportunity, with the risk of suspension, yet Fernandez got away with attacking Santana? Will LCW General Manager Harley Race have anything to say about it this week?!

Rich in Aggression:
Last week, it was confirmed that Wildfire Tommy Rich would go one-on-one against Tracey Smothers this week on LCW Showdown. Rich's victory over Smothers in a steel cage at the LCW Caged Heat pay-per-view last month obviously wasn't enough to settle this score, and they will do battle once again this coming week.

Also, Watch Out For:
- With the LCW Women's Championship re-instated by LCW General Manager Harley Race, and all the Lady Legends looking to participate in the battle royal at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view, what will they do to prove themselves worthy of that chance?
- Honky Tonk Man has himself a shot at the LCW Heritage Champion, Bret Hart, at LCW Night of Horrors, but what will happen when they're under the same roof again this week? They are scheduled to compete in a tag team match: Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine vs. Hart and One Man Gang. Who can come out on top?
- Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff were victorious over LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page and Bill Goldberg last week. What's next for Magnum and Nikita?
- Over the past several weeks, we've been subjected to mystery vignettes from the Veritas. Who is it? And when will they arrive?
- The Rocker Marty Jannetty is quickly making a name for himself with huge victories. Who will he face next?

Find out the answers to all the questions this Wednesday on LCW Showdown at 8PM only on LCWShowdown.com!

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.

LCW General Manager Harley Race came out and said he had some business to take care of tonight. Race said he admired LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin because he was a fighting champion. Race said Austin wanted a fight last week and he got one and he was going to get a fight this week as well. He announced that tonight Austin would defend his title one-on-one against the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez. “Speaking of Manny Fernandez,” Race said, “It’s become clearly evident to anyone watching that he and Tito Santana have some business to settle and they will settle it at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th. Tonight, Tito Santana will face…Big Van Vader! And, let’s be honest, I’m an old school kind of guy so I’m going to set some old school rules tonight. If Tito Santana interferes in Manny Fernandez’s match with Steve Austin later tonight, Santana will be suspended for 30 days!” Race thanked the fans and told them to enjoy the show.

Marty Jannetty defeated Black Bart in 5:06 by pinfall after the Rocker Dropper. After the match, Dirty Dutch Mantel attacked Marty Jannetty and hit him with a powerslam and a running elbow drop before leaving ringside with Black Bart.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Before the match, the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth. During the match, Vader and Santana brawled outside the ring and their brawl went up the entrance ramp and got closer to the broadcast booth. As they reached the broadcast booth, Santana managed to gain the upper hand on Vader, but Fernandez attacked Santana from behind, hitting him with a steel chair before leaving to the back.

In the back, LCW General Manager Harley Race approached Madusa Micelli and thanked her for joining him this week to make a very special announcement regarding the future of the Lady Legends division in Legends Championship Wrestling. They walked away together as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW General Manager Harley Race came out with Madusa Micelli and announced that he was reinstating the LCW Women’s Championship. He announced that there would be a 20-woman battle royal at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th. The remaining eight legends would go on to an eight woman tournament over the course of four weeks on LCW Showdown. At LCW Showdown at the Chase television special on Saturday, November 4th, the four winners will go on to a fatal fourway match with the winner going on to face Madusa Micelli later in the evening at Showdown at the Chase.

The Young Stallions defeated the Islanders in 4:34 by pinfall when Powers pinned Tama after Haku accidentally kicked Tama with the savate kick.

In the back, Wildfire Tommy Rich was with Missy Hyatt when Hollywood John Tatum approached them. Tatum asked Hyatt if she would be joining him at ringside for his match tonight with Austin Idol. Hyatt went to say she would be, when Rich cut her off and said that Tatum cost him his opportunity to become the LCW Universal Champion in the LCW Survival Project two weeks ago when he came down to ringside and interfered in his match with Bret Hart. Rich said that Tatum would be going to ringside without Missy Hyatt. Tatum threw a fit and said Rich couldn’t make that decision. He said it was up to Missy. Hyatt said Rich had a point about what happened at the Survival Project and she would be staying backstage with him. Tatum stormed off in a huff as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Austin Idol defeated Hollywood John Tatum in 5:04 by disqualification after Wildfire Tommy Rich interfered and attacked Idol as Idol had Tatum in position for the Heartthrob Bomb piledriver.

When Rich and Tatum made it to the entrance stage, Rich grabbed a microphone from the broadcast booth and challenged Smothers to a match next week on Showdown. Rich said he was going to settle his issues once and for all with Idol at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view. He said he thought he was finished with Tracy Smothers when he beat him in a steel cage at LCW Caged Heat last month. Rich said, “I guess I didn’t finish you off. So, before I finish off Austin Idol, next week, Tracy Smothers I’m going to finish you off once and for all.” Smothers accepted the challenge and Hyatt, Rich, and Tatum went to the back as Idol and Smothers left ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed the number one contender for the LCW Universal Champion, Sid Vicious, who said Bret Hart’s winning the LCW Heritage Championship was a fluke, but it didn’t matter to him because he was on to bigger and better things… the LCW Universal Championship. Vicious said that some doubted him and his victory at the LCW Survival Project saying that it was the luck of the draw and had he not drawn number 50 he wouldn’t have won the tournament. Vicious said that was bullsh*t! He said he was the most dominant force in Legends Championship Wrestling today and he was going to prove it with a victory over Dr. Death Steve Williams tonight and then victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin at LCW Night of Horrors to win the LCW Universal Championship. Vicious added, before walking away, “That is, if I let Austin make it to Night of Horrors. Austin’s night of horror just might come tonight!”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW General Manager Harley Race confronted the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Sid Vicious, and told him that if he would be banned from ringside during LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin’s match tonight with the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez and warned him that if he interfered in the match he would be stripped of his position as the number one contender. Vicious seethed as Race walked away.

The Bass Brothers (with Maw Bass) defeated The Fantastics in 4:27 by pinfall when Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Bobby Fulton after the Texas Gourdbuster.

In the back, the Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy Hart celebrated their victory over One Man Gang with Kevin Sullivan and a sullen Luna Vachon. LCW General Manager Harley Race approached them and congratulated the Honky Tonk Man on his second win over One Man Gang. Race said the victory had earned the Honky Tonk Man a shot at a title, the LCW Heritage Championship. Race said Honky Tonk Man would face LCW Heritage Champion Bret Hart at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th. Sullivan congratulated Honky Tonk, but Race told them not to celebrate too soon. Race said that Honky Tonk Man would team with his old partner, Greg The Hammer Valentine, to face the team of One Man Gang and Bret Hart next week on LCW Showdown. He also announced that Sullivan would face Gang at Night of Horrors…and Luna Vachon would be the special guest referee! Vachon almost smiled and Sullivan looked at her as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The match between LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez never began as Austin was attacked on the entrance stage by Sid Vicious as Austin was making his entrance. Vicious powerbombed Austin on the steel entrance stage, knocking him out. Vicious stood looking down at Austin with a smile on his face before picking up the LCW Universal Championship and looking at it with a blank stare. Vicious then began to laugh manically as security officials came out with LCW General Manager Harley Race. Race grabbed the title from Vicious as security escorted Vicious away. Race checked on Austin and called for medical officials as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAKS}

On the entrance stage, medical officials loaded LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin onto a stretcher and took him to the back.

Race said he wanted to offer her a spot in the battle royal to determine the new LCW Women’s Championship. Vachon didn’t say anything, but she smiled. The smile quickly disappeared from her face as Kevin Sullivan approached them and demanded to know what Race wanted. Race said he wanted to invite her to participate in the battle royal at LCW Night of Horrors on Sunday, October 11th. Sullivan accepted the invitation on her behalf, but said she wasn’t going to be in the battle royal. Race asked what he meant and Sullivan said Race would find out next week.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The lights in the arena went out and thunder rolled and lightning struck the LegendsTron before a video package aired featuring religious symbolism and a voiceover that said, “He will show you the truth, the light, the way. He was burned by betrayal, but your faith in him showed him the way. The Veritas is coming…”

Sid Vicious defeated LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams in 12:26 by pinfall in a non-title match after the powerbomb after Bill Goldberg interfered and hit Williams with the Spear.

LCW Showdown Television Preview 09.14.09: The Race is On!

2009-09-14T18:48:00.000-07:00

No more hiatus. No more two months off. No time for charging batteries anymore. Legends Championship Wrestling is now rolling into LCW Showdown with a full head of steam. The well rested Legends of Legends Championship Wrestling returned to Showdown last week, in a Championship Edition of sorts, but what will this week bring us? We have a new LCW General Manager in Harley Race and a sure-to-be head-on collision in the main event.

Showdown Recap:
Last week, LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway wanted to do the men on his WarGames squad – who helped him regain Chairmanship of the company – a favor. Thus, he gave Bret Hart a shot at the LCW Heritage Championship. Macho Man Randy Savage got a chance at the LCW United States Title, and Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff got their chance at the LCW World Tag Team Championship belts. As for LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, he saw action against LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams.

Of those in action, Bret Hart claimed the LCW Heritage Title, defeating Sid Vicious in a brutal affair. Savage came up just short in his title match against Diamond Dallas Page, and it would be a disqualification victory – but no titles – for Magnum and Nikita.

A Psycho Dr. or A Vicious Death?
In this weeks main event, under mandate from LCW General Manager Harley Race, the number-one contender for the LCW Universal Championship Sid Vicious will take on Dr. Death Steve Williams – the LCW International Champion – in the main event. And though it will be non-title, Vicious is looking to prove to himself and the rest of the Legends Championship Wrestling roster that he can hang with a champion. After all, he'll be doing it again at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view on Sunday, October 11th, when he challenges Stone Cold Steve Austin for the strap. And where will Goldberg be in this epic main event? He became the number-one contender for the LCW International Championship by eliminating 11 Legends (the most this year) in the Survival Project 50-man Gauntlet Tournament two weeks ago. Goldberg and Austin will surely be looking on this week, as we hit the road for the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view event.

Though, that's not all Goldberg has to worry about!

Tag Team Turmoil:
This week's LCW Showdown, on top of the blockbuster main event, will feature a tag team grudge match. It will be Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff vs. LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page and Bill Goldberg in a tag team semi-main event match. Magnum TA's war with Bill Goldberg started a few months ago when, as Ted Turner was running the company, Magnum TA was attacked in the locker room at LCW Beach Brawl. Goldberg professed his innocence, but some say Magnum has never truly gotten over it. After all, it was that very incident which cost Magnum a chance to regain the then-vacated LCW Universal Championship. Now, Magnum gets his chance at retribution, but can he come out victorious?

Taming The Bully:
When “The Raging Bull” Manny Fernandez was revealed to be the man who attacked Tito Santana in the locker room for the past couple of months, this lit a fire underneath Santana. Last week on LCW Showdown, Santana promised to “put down Fernandez”, like he had done with other bullies. Santana would then interfere in Fernandez's match against Paul Orndorff, and would get the upper hand. This rivalry has only just begun, and you can only imagine what will happen when these two are under the same roof yet again this week.

The Veritas:
Last week, the LCW audience was left in confusion when a vignette aired for the debut of someone. Under the guise of the Veritas this person is looking to make a big impact upon his arrival in Legends Championship Wrestling. Who is this person? When will they arrive? What will they do?! Stay tuned to find out.

The Young Stallions:
Last week, the Young Stallions reformed in a winning effort. Their goal has been set and locked: they want the LCW World Tag Team Championships. Can they get any closer to their dreams this week?

Find out the answers to all the questions this Wednesday on LCW Showdown at 8pm only on LCWShowdown.com! Also, stay tuned to LCWNightofHorrors for the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view exclusively, Sunday October 11, 2009!

LCW Showdown Television Results 09.09.09: The Return

2009-09-09T17:00:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results: The Return (September 9, 2009) live from the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids, IA.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to the return edition of LCW Showdown after a two month hiatus 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 talked about Sid Vicious winning the LCW Survival Project 50-man gauntlet tournament last Sunday night (click here for complete results) to become the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship and Bill Goldberg eliminating eleven Legends from the tournament to become the number one contender for the LCW International Championship.

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway came out and introduced the men who helped him save Legends Championship Wrestling: Magnum TA, Nikita Koloff, Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret Hart, and LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin! One by one, all five men joined Calaway in the ring. Calaway said, “I know I’ve thanked you all in private personally since LCW Caged Heat last month, but I wanted to come out here and thank you in front of all of these people and I’m sure they’d all like to thank you as well.” The audience exploded with cheers and Calaway continued, “As a matter of fact, I’d like to thank you with some matches tonight. Well, matches for most of you. See, my goal was to try and help you guys get some gold, but one of you already has some gold. So, since I can’t help you out with a match against a champion, Steve, tonight, you have the night off.” The audience booed and Austin went to respond, but Calaway moved on to Bret Hart before he could. Calaway said that he was very impressed by Bret Hart’s performance last Sunday night at the LCW Survival Project pay-per-view. Calaway announced that tonight, Bret Hart would get a shot at the LCW Heritage Championship when he faces the winner of the LCW Survival Project, LCW Heritage Champion Sid Vicious! Calaway then moved on to Nikita Koloff and Magnum TA and said they would get a shot at the LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys. Calaway then announced that Macho Man Randy Savage would face LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page for the title. Calaway went to thank the audience and tell them to enjoy the show when Austin took the microphone from Calaway. Austin said he didn’t want to night off. Calaway said, “I’m sorry, you don’t want what?” Austin said, “I don’t want the night off. Find one of them dumb sons of bitches in the back and get his ass out here because I’m defending the title tonight.” Calaway said, “If that’s what you want, Steve, I’m sure we can find someone deserving of a title shot. As a matter of fact, I’ve got a great idea. This is a big night and it calls for a big main event. Sunday night, you had the night off. And so did someone else. Tonight, you’re going to face, one on one, in a champion vs. champion match…Dr. Death Steve Williams!” Austin acknowledged his approval of the decision with a smile as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Bret Hart defeated LCW Heritage Champion Sid Vicious in 12:42 by pinfall with a schoolboy rollup. Before the match, LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin came out and joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth. During the match, Vicious challenged Austin to come down to ringside an Austin eventually left the broadcast booth to oblige him. Austin and Vicious started exchanging words and Hart snuck up behind Vicious and rolled him up for the pinfall and the win. As Hart left ringside with the title and Austin, Vicious seethed in the ring.

In the back, Eric Bischoff approached LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway and tried to suck up to Calaway. Calaway asked him what he was doing there. Bischoff said, “I’m the General Manager.” Calaway laughed and said, “Oh, no, you’re not!” Bischoff asked Calaway what he meant and Calaway asked Bischoff if he was deaf or just stupid. Calaway said now that Ted Turner was no longer in power, Eric Bischoff had no power. “Just like always, without Turner’s money, power, and influence, you have nothing and you are nothing. Now, against my better judgment, the LCW Board of Directors has seen fit to name a new General Manager and I understand he’s on his way to the arena and will be here later tonight. So, the only piece of business I have left with you is to ask if you have a ticket?” Bischoff said he didn’t have a ticket and added that he didn’t need a ticket.” Calaway said, “Yeah, you kind of do. And since I’m guessing that you don’t, I’m going to ask these gentlemen to escort you out of the building.” Calaway ushered several security guards over who escorted Bischoff out of the building.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Marty Jannetty defeated Dirty Dutch Mantel in 4:45 by pinfall after the Rocker Dropper.

The lights in the arena went out and thunder rolled and lightning struck the LegendsTron before a video package aired featuring religious symbolism and a voiceover that said, “He will show you the truth, the light, the way. You have followed him before, believed in him, took him to great heights with your faith. The Veritas is coming…” The arena lights came back on as Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko wondered what that was about from the broadcast booth.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW United States Champion Diamond Dallas Page defeated Macho Man Randy Savage in 8:40 by pinfall after the Diamond Cutter.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Tito Santana about the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez being the masked man who had been attacking him over the past few months. Santana said Terry Funk had Fernandez summed up pretty accurately when he called him “the Raging Bully.” Santana said he had some experience with bulls and would put him down just like he has other bullies in the past. Suddenly, Manny Fernandez appeared and attacked Santana, throwing him into a wall and kicking him in the head before walking away.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez defeated Paul Orndorff in 6:53 by disqualification after Tito Santana interfered and attacked Fernandez. Santana managed to gain the upper hand and went to hit Fernandez with the flying forearm smash, but Fernandez managed to avoid the move and Fernandez hit Santana with the Flying Burrito before locking the Bull’s Brand triangle choke on him. Paul Orndorff got in the ring and pulled Fernandez off of Santana and knocked Fernandez out of the ring.

In the back, Sid Vicious approached LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway and said he wanted a match with LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin tonight! Calaway said he couldn’t do that because he had already announced the main event between Austin and LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams tonight. Vicious grabbed Calaway by the lapels and pushed him against a wall and said he wanted Austin tonight because he cost him the LCW Heritage Championship. Calaway suggested that Vicious release him if he didn’t want to lose his status as number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship. Vicious released Calaway and said, “Maybe I just need to take care of the situation myself.” Vicious walked away and Calaway looked on as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Nikita Koloff and Magnum TA defeated LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys in 12:50 by disqualification after Bill Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page interfered and attacked Koloff and Magnum TA. Koloff and Magnum quickly fended Goldberg and Page off, knocking them both out of the ring. Magnum tried to get at Goldberg, but Koloff held him back. From the broadcast booth, Larry Zbyszko noted that Goldberg might want to focus on LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams instead of Magnum. Magnum grabbed a microphone and challenged Goldberg and Page to a tag team match next week on Showdown. Goldberg and Page accepted the challenge.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Paul Roma and Jim Powers who said they were back together and the Young Stallions were headed straight to the top.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, a limousine arrived with the LCW logo on the license place. LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway appeared as the limousine arrived and opened the door before anyone could get out and said, “I’m glad you’re here. We’ve got a problem with Sid Vicious.”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Universal Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestled LCW International Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams to a no contest in 16:11 by disqualification after Sid Vicious and Bill Goldberg interfered and attacked both men.

Vicious picked up the LCW Universal Championship and looked at it for a moment before LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway’s entrance music started to play and Calaway came out. Calaway announced from the entrance stage that the new LCW General Manager had a special message for Sid Vicious. Harley Race came out and announced that as the new LCW General Manager he was making a match for next week on LCW Showdown. “Sid Vicious, in that ring next week on LCW Showdown, you will face one on one, Dr. Death Steve Williams!” Vicious dropped the title belt and smiled, but Race added, "Wipe that smile off your face, Sid, because it's going to be a non-title match!" Sid turned around and Austin hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner. Williams hit Goldberg with the Spear. Austin and Williams left ringside together as the show went to commercial.

LCW Showdown Television Results (June 24, 2009) live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to a special three-hour, championship edition of LCW Showdown, in which all the title would be defended, 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 talked about the fact that tonight would be the last edition of LCW Showdown before a two month hiatus. They also discussed the fact that there was still not a LCW Universal Champion after Magnum TA and Ric Flair went 60 minutes in an Iron Man match that ended with no decision.

LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner came out with LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff, Diamond Dallas Page, and Bill Goldberg. Bischoff said that tonight would be the final episode of LCW Showdown before a two month hiatus. He said tonight would also be the final show before the LCW Beach Brawl 2009 pay-per-view on Sunday, July 12th. Bischoff said every title would be on the line tonight and, by the end of the night, we would know the compete card for the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view. Bischoff also announced that tonight’s main event would feature a 20-man battle royal with the last two men in the ring becoming the number one contenders for the LCW Universal Championship and facing each other at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view for the vacant title.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Superstar Billy Graham and One Man Gang (with Luna Vachon) about Kevin Sullivan. Graham said Sullivan was an even bigger idiot than he thought if Sullivan thought for a second that Graham would ever help him with anything. Graham said he was ready to finish off Sullivan once and for all. Gang told Graham that he’d have to wait because he wanted to get his hands on Sullivan first. Gang said that Sullivan never knew how to treat a woman as great as Luna Vachon, but now that she was with a real man she was going to know what it meant to be treated like a queen because he was going to be her king. Gang and Vachon walked away and Mooney looked at Graham with a puzzled look on his face and Graham said, “Don’t look at me. I don’t get it either.”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Superstar Billy Graham came out with One Man Gang and Luna Vachon and they got into the ring. Graham called out Kevin Sullivan and Sir Oliver Humperdink. Sullivan and Humperdink came out and Sullivan said he was done with Graham and he wasn’t worth his time anymore. He said he wanted to teach “that bitch” Vachon a lesson about betrayal and teach Gang a lesson about putting his nose where it doesn’t belong. Sullivan said since both of them wanted to get their hands on him maybe they could have a tag team match right now. Sullivan asked Humperdink if he knew someone who could be a partner for him. Humperdink said he had someone perfect in mind, the newest member of the House of Humperdink…King Kong Bundy!

Kevin Sullivan and King Kong Bundy defeated Superstar Billy Graham and One Man Gang (with Luna Vachon) in 6:21 by pinfall when Sullivan pinned Gang with a rollup and his feet on the ropes.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Dan Spivey, who challenged his Skyscrapers tag team partner, Sid Vicious, to a match tonight. LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff approached Spivey and announced that the match would take place tonight, but added that the match would determine the number one contender for the LCW Heritage Championship at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view next month. Bischoff wished Spivey luck as he walked away.

LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard (with Baby Doll) defeated Wildfire Tommy Rich in 7:23 by pinfall with the slingshot suplex. During the match, Missy Hyatt came out and jumped up on the ring apron and started exchanging words with Rich. She slapped him and Blanchard attacked him from behind and then hit him with the slingshot suplex for the pinfall and the win. After the match, Hollywood John Tatum and Austin Idol came out and attacked Rich, but Rich managed to fight them off and knocked them out of the ring, Idol with a dropkick and Tatum with a clothesline. Rich grabbed a microphone and challenged Idol and Tatum to a tag team match at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view. Idol and Tatum accepted the challenge and asked Rich who his partner was going to be. Rich said they would just have to wait until the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view to find out.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Sid Vicious defeated Dan Spivey in 8:34 by pinfall after the powerbomb. After the match, Vicious said he was coming for LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff.

In the back, LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, with his valet Baby Doll, talked about beating Wildfire Tommy Rich to unify the LCW International Championship and the LCW Television Championship and then beating him again tonight just to put an exclamation point on the matter. Dr. Death Steve Williams approached them and challenged Blanchard to a match at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view. Blanchard asked why he should give Williams a title shot and Williams said because he beat the King of the Legends at the LCW SuperClash and if Blanchard didn’t want him to beat him down right now he’d grant him the title shot. Blanchard relented and gave Williams his shot at the title.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Tito Santana defeated The Genius Lanny Poffo in 5:27 by pinfall to win the LCW United States Championship after Randy Savage interfered and hit Poffo with the flying elbow smash. After the match, Savage got back in the ring and attacked Poffo some more. Angelo Poffo came out and told Savage to stop attacking his brother. Savage told his father to mind his own business and said that he brought it to this point. Savage said he wanted a match with his brother at LCW Beach Brawl and he wanted it to be a Loser Leaves LCW match. Poffo accepted the challenge on behalf of his son. Savage said if his father interferes in the match, Lanny Poffo will automatically lose the match. Poffo accepted the stipulation, but said if Savage touches his brother anytime before Beach Brawl, Savage will forfeit the match and have to leave LCW. Savage accepted the stipulation and then climbed to the top rope and hit Poffo with another flying elbow smash and then said, “Starting now.”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff approached LCW United States Champion Tito Santana and congratulated him on winning the LCW United States Championship from The Genius Lanny Poffo. Bischoff said he wanted to introduce Santana to his opponent at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view. Diamond Dallas Page approached them and told Santana to take care of his LCW United States Championship because at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view he was going to get it back and become five-time LCW United States Champion.

LCW Unified Tag Team Champions Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk came out and Fernandez said that they proved last week that they were the most dominant team in Legends Championship Wrestling. Funk joked that the teams they hadn’t beaten were falling apart and the competition was dropping like flies. Fernandez said he had heard that Doom wasn’t in the building and he was sad to hear that because Doom was one of the few teams they hadn’t beaten, but he knew they would get the opportunity to beat them soon. Fernandez said he was laying out an open challenge to any team in the back who wanted to try their luck with Fernandez and Funk, the LCW Unified Tag Team Champions. The Nasty Boys came out and said they would accept the challenge and started making their way to the ring.

The Nasty Boys defeated LCW Unified Tag Team Champions Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk in 8:45 by pinfall when Brian Knobbs pinned Terry Funk after a powerslam. After the match, Fernandez confronted Funk and started to yell at him, blaming him for the loss. Fernandez pushed Funk and Funk ignored him and went to leave the ring, but Fernandez attacked Funk and beat him down until the Nasty Boys came to Funk’s defense.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed Carlos Colon about his recent altercations with Abdullah the Butcher. Mooney mentioned the fact that Colon was first seen at the LCW Uprising two months ago when he helped Ken Patera defeat Abdullah in an Inferno match when he kept General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie from interfering in the match. Then, Colon appeared again last month at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view when Colon interfered in the six-man tag team match between LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff, Ken Patera, and Sgt. Slaughter and assisted them to a victory over the Disciples of Allah which forced the group to break up. Colon said two months ago, he thought the flames would be enough to keep Akbar and Al-Kassie from interfering, but they weren’t so he was there to help. Colon said last month he took advantage of an opportunity to help his friend Ken Patera eliminate the Disciples of Allah and they did it, but his old nemesis Abdullah the Butcher was still a threat and he wasn’t going to rest until that threat was eliminated from Legends Championship Wrestling. Colon said he hadn’t been on LCW television regularly because he was dealing with some issues in his native Puerto Rico, but he was back to settle his issues with Abdullah. Colon said he wanted to make things interesting for both he and Abdullah and the fans since they had done this thing so many times before in the past. Colon said if Abdullah wins at the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view, he will never appear in Legends Championship Wrestling again, but if he wins, Akbar will never manage Abdullah ever again and Abdullah will be all alone.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed General Skandor Akbar, with Abdullah the Butcher, and Akbar said, “Carlos Colon must think he’s pretty smart. He attacks us at Uprising, he costs Abdullah the inferno match at Uprising and then, like a coward, he runs back to Puerto Rico and hides. He gets in our business again at LCW SuperClash and forces the breakup of the Disciples of Allah. He gets his match at LCW Beach Brawl from the Board of Directors before he goes, and then he goes and runs and hides. And then he wants to come back just to make a stupid stipulation. Well, Carlos Colon, you’ve got your stipulation because I have complete faith in Abdullah the Butcher to get the job done. He’s going to beat you just like he’s beaten you so many times before.”

LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff defeated the Iron Sheik (with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) in 6:02 by pinfall after the Russian Sickle clothesline. After the match, Nikolai Volkoff came out and joined Sheik in attacking Koloff until Ken Patera and Sgt. Slaughter came out and evened the odds. Abdullah the Butcher then came out with General Skandor Akbar and attacked Koloff, but Carlos Colon came out and knocked Abdullah out of the ring and brawled with him through the crowd and to the back. Moments later, as Koloff was getting back to his feet, Sid Vicious came out and attacked Koloff, laying him out with a powerbomb before leaving ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko reviewed the complete card for the LCW Beach Brawl pay-per-view on Sunday, July 12th:

- Bret The Hitman Hart vs. The Dynamite Kid.
- Ken Patera and Sgt. Slaughter vs. The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff (with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie).
- Terry Funk vs. The Raging Bull Manny Fernandez.
- Carlos Colon vs. Abdullah the Butcher (with General Skandor Akbar).
- Wildfire Tommy Rich and Mystery Partner vs. Austin Idol and Hollywood John Tatum (with Missy Hyatt).
- One Man Gang (with Luna Vachon) vs. Kevin Sullivan (with Sir Oliver Humperdink).
- LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff vs. Sid Vicious.
- LCW World Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys vs. Doom.
- LCW United States Champion Tito Santana vs. Diamond Dallas Page.
- Macho Man Randy Savage vs. The Genius Lanny Poffo in a Loser Leaves LCW match.
- Big Van Vader vs. Stan Hansen.
- LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard vs. Dr. Death Steve Williams.
- Magnum TA vs. Bill Goldberg for the vacant LCW Universal Championship.

Magnum TA and Bill Goldberg won a twenty-man battle royal in 18:04 to determine the number one contenders for the vacant LCW Universal Championships. During the battle royal, Big Van Vader and Stan Hansen both eliminated each other and brawled to the back as security tried unsuccessfully to separate them. After the match, Diamond Dallas Page came out and joined Goldberg in attacking Magnum. Dr. Death Steve Williams ran out to help Magnum, but LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard came out and hit Williams with his title belt, knocking him out. LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner and LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff came out and Turner called off Page and Goldberg and officially announced that Magnum TA would face Bill Goldberg for the vacant LCW Universal Championship.

The lights went out and LCW Founder Christian Calaway appeared on the LegendsTron in a white suit. Calaway said, “Ted Turner, you can try to destroy me, you can try to destroy my company, but you can never destroy the passion of these fans and you can never destroy the fighting spirit of these legends. Like a phoenix from the flames I will rise again. What you said is true, in September, we will see the return of Legends Championship Wrestling, but what we won’t see is the return of Ted Turner as Chairman of the Board.” Turner said if he wasn’t the Chairman of the Board, LCW Showdown would never appear on his network again. Calaway said, if LCW Showdown wasn’t on his network anymore, he wouldn’t be the Chairman of the Board anymore because he was sure the Board of Directors would vote to have him removed as Chairman. Calaway said he had found a new network on which to have LCW Showdown air. Calaway said Turner had made it known on many occasions that there was only one reason he wanted to own Legends Championship Wrestling, not because he loved the "rasslin' business," but because he had more money than Calaway and wanted to rub it in Calaway's face that while Calaway founded Legends Champioinship Wrestling he didn't have the money to support it. Calaway said he knew Turner took a sick and perverse pleasure in taking something from him that he cherished so greatly, his own creation, Legends Championship Wrestling. Calaway said he went out and found someone with more money than even Ted Turner and someone who had promised to provide LCW Showdown a home in the future...Rupert Murdoch, owner of FOX Networks. Murdoch said he had heard about the trouble that Turner had been causing and he was here to give LCW Showdown a home and Calaway any financial assistance he might need to regain control of his company. Calaway laughed and said, "See you at LCW Beach Brawl, Ted. Then again, maybe we won't." Calaway and Murdoch laughed and an irate Turner stared up at the LegendsTron with a mixed look of anger, shock and frustration on his face as the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Television Preview 06.24.09: Championship Edition!

2009-06-23T12:29:00.000-07:00

This week's LCW Showdown will be a "Championship Edition" with every LCW Championship on the line - including the coveted LCW Universal Championship.

Extended Hiatus
As you may be aware, this will be the last LCW Showdown until September 9, 2009. LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner made the announcement last week on LCW Showdown, after negotiations to save the show at this time, fell through. LCW airs on Turner's network, and the series can only return on his say-so. Turner did announce, however, that the LCW Beach Brawl, LCW Heatwave and LCW Survival Project pay-per-views will still go ahead. Hey, we always give you a reason to come back, right?

Who's The Champion?
Last week, a 60-Minute Iron Man Match resulted in yet more controversy for the LCW Universal Championship, as no clear decision could come in the bout between Magnum TA and Ric Flair. This week, the title is on the line, as the number-one contender is Bill Goldberg, but that's not the focus of the match, the focus is: who's the champion? We're hopeful to find out this week on LCW Showdown!

International Rematch
Last week, Wildfire Tommy Rich announced that he had a championship rematch against LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard on this week's mega Championship Edition of LCW Showdown. Rich blamed his associates, Austin Idol and Hollywood John Tatum for not aiding him to victory at LCW SuperClash. Idol and Tatum, however, had a differing story, claiming that Rich cost himself the title. After an attack last week, it has been said that Rich is more determined to win the LCW International title than ever. Can this come true on this special edition of LCW Showdown.

Poffo Defending
After winning the LCW United States Championship at the assist of his father, Angelo Poffo, from his brother, Randy Savage, Lanny Poffo is set to defend the LCW United States title this week on LCW Showdown... but against who? We're going to find out this week on a live three-hour broadcast LCW Showdown!

Unified Titles ... Unified Title Match
Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk became the official LCW Unified Tag Team Champions at LCW SuperClash. This week, they'll make their first title defense on the Showdown extravaganza, but their opponents are, at this time, unknown. Which team, on the impressive LCW tag team roster, will step up?

What a night this three-hour Championship Edition Showdown will be. And you can catch it, at LCWShowdown.com!

LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner came out in a wheelchair with Eric Bischoff, Bill Goldberg, and Diamond Dallas Page and the LCW Universal Championship and said that Magnum TA and Ric Flair would face each other in a 60-minute Iron Man match in tonight’s main event to determine the LCW Universal Champion. Turner also announced that as a result of Bill Goldberg’s victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin last Sunday at LCW SuperClash, he no longer had to worry about LCW Founder Christian Calaway. Turner said there would be no more “operational compromises.” Turner said, effective immediately, Bischoff was reinstated as the General Manager of Showdown. Bischoff announced that the winner of the Flair and Magnum rematch would face the new number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship next week on LCW Showdown… Bill Goldberg!

The Dynamite Kid defeated Koko B. Ware in 3:07 by pinfall after the diving headbutt. After the match, Dynamite locked Ware in the Sharpshooter and wouldn’t release the hold until Bret Hart came out and chased him out of the ring and through the crowd.

In the back, One Man Gang (with Luna Vachon) and King Kong Bundy confronted LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff and said they wanted a match with Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk because the only thing that stood in their way of winning the LCW Unified Tag Team Championships was Kevin Sullivan. Bischoff said he understood and granted them the match.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Unified Tag Team Champions Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk defeated One Man Gang (with Luna Vachon) and King Kong Bundy in 7:53 by pinfall when Fernandez pinned Gang after the Flying Burrito.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Wildfire Tommy Rich came out and called out Missy Hyatt, Hollywood John Tatum, and Austin Idol. Hyatt, Tatum, and Idol came out and joined him in the ring. Rich said they cost him the LCW International Championship. Idol said he cost himself the championship. He said they just proved what they already always knew, what he always knew: that they would have never been a champion without him. Rich said he had a rematch next week for the LCW International Championship with Tully Blanchard on LCW Showdown and would prove them all wrong and win the title without them. Rich went to leave the ring and Idol and Tatum attacked Rich and left with Hyatt.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie. Akbar announced that since the Disciples of Allah were unable to be a group anymore he was going to manage Abdullah the Butcher and Al-Kassie would manage the team of the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff.

LCW Showdown Television Preview 06.17.09: SuperClash Fallout!

2009-06-16T18:34:00.001-07:00

It was a night of amazing and defining moments. Alliances were formed, championships changed hands and dreams were crushed. For many, LCW SuperClash is always the start of new beginnings, but for some, this past Sunday's events crushed any hopes of new beginnings and fresh starts within the confines of the company. This, we're sure, is the thing that will set us on an unbelievable journey through the next year in LCW – but what will it bring?

Universal Controversy:
This past Sunday at LCW SuperClash, the LCW Universal Championship was vacated when a match between the champion, Magnum TA and his number-one contender, Ric Flair, ended in controversy. LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner, fresh off a Stone Cold Stunner earlier in the evening, vacated the title. That leads to many questions about the status of the top prize in LCW, and how the situation will be rectified. Could it be that a rematch will be set? Or maybe Ted Turner is looking to do Bill Goldberg a favor after the tremendous deed the Human Wrecking Ball did for the Chairman. One thing's for sure, we'll all be tuning into Showdown to find out!

Founder Gone:
This past Sunday, LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway's life came tumbling down around him, when Stone Cold Steve Austin lost to Bill Goldberg, forcing Calaway out of the company he created forever. With reports circling that Calaway went AWOL after the pay-per-view, and that Steve Austin is feeling rather guilty about the loss, what will happen this week on LCW Showdown?

Consolidating Championships:
This past Sunday, at the biggest event of the year, Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk officially became the LCW Unified Tag Team Champions. But, there's no rest for the champions, as they have an entire roster of legendary tag teams to face. But which of these tag teams will get the chance to win the tag team straps first?

Savage Cheated:
Randy Savage was cost his LCW United States Championship by, of all people, his own father Angelo Poffo. Poffo, who is Savage and Lanny Poffo's father, cost Savage the title this past Sunday at SuperClash, allowing his other son, The Genius, to pick up title gold. But the question needs to be answered: why?

Departing Disciples:
It's official: the Disciples of Allah have officially been disbanded, never to reform in Legends Championship Wrestling again. They're all going separate ways, but it still remains to be seen who can come out the better after this huge split.

Also, watch out for:
Tully Blanchard unified the LCW International and Television titles at SuperClash. The Television title has now been retired, but what's next for the International Championship? Could it be that Hollywood John Tatum and Austin Idol are eyeing the gold, as they failed to help Rich on Sunday?

Sid Vicious turned on his Skyscraper partner Dan Spivey this past Sunday. What's next for the 6 foot 9 monster?

Superstar Billy Graham returned to Legends Championship Wrestling on Sunday, helping Paul Orndorff against Kevin Sullivan, Sir Oliver Humperdink and Luna Vachon. Sullivan, Humperdink and Vachon were under the illusion he was there to help them, when in reality he was there to hurt them. With trouble in paradise brewing between Vachon and Sullivan, what will happen on Showdown?

Tito Santana got rid of his arch nemesis Rick Martel this past Sunday. What's next for Santana? Is he looking for title gold? Only time will tell.

It's all to play for this week on LCW Showdown. And, as always, it's sure to be totally unpredictable!

LCW Showdown Television Results 06.10.09

2009-06-10T11:52:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (June 10, 2009) live from St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, FL.

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 talked about the contract expiration situation with the network and introduced LCW Founder Christian Calaway.

From his office at LCW Headquarters in Sacramento, CA, LCW Founder Christian Calaway appeared live via satellite on the LegendsTron. Calaway said that the future of Legends Championship Wrestling was indeed in doubt as their contract with the network was set to expire in three weeks. Calaway said that he had spoken with Ted Turner, the lawyers, and the network executives about keeping LCW Showdown on the air and, at this moment, due to his tenuous relationship with Turner he wasn’t sure if they were going to be able to come to an agreement in time to save the show. “You see, at the end of the day, there’s nothing I can do about the fact that Ted Turner owns the network on which you are watching this show.” The audience booed and Calaway continued, “So the stakes at LCW SuperClash this Sunday have to be raised. In my hands I hold a contract, the contract that Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bill Goldberg, Ted Turner and myself have already signed. However, there’s been an addendum added to the contract that says that if Bill Goldberg wins, Ted Turner can determine the fate of Legends Championship Wrestling on his network and if Austin wins, I get my company back and LCW Showdown remains on Turner’s network for the lifetime of either the network or Legends Championship Wrestling.” The audience cheered and started chanting LCW’s initials. Calaway thanked the fans for their support.

Manny Fernandez (with Terry Funk) defeated Stan Hansen (with Big Van Vader) and King Kong Bundy (with One Man Gang) in 7:31 by pinfall when he pinned Bundy after the Flying Burrito. After the match, Funk, Vader, and Gang got into the ring and the three men brawled as security officials came out to separate them.

In the back, Sir Oliver Humperdink was walking through the arena corridor when someone grabbed him from behind knocked him to the floor with a punch. The camera zoomed out and Paul Orndorff could be seen standing over Humperdink. Orndorff picked up Humperdink and dumped him into a wheelbarrow and started pushing him through the arena corridor as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Paul Orndorff came out with Sir Oliver Humperdink in a wheelbarrow and called out Kevin Sullivan and Luna Vachon. Humperdink started to regain consciousness and Orndorff said that he appreciated the LCW Board of Directors putting him and Sullivan in a steel cage, but he didn’t think that was going to be enough to stop Humperdink and Vachon from interfering and trying to save Sullivan from his inevitable fate. Sullivan told Orndorff if he let Humperdink go that he would get in the ring alone with Orndorff tonight! Orndorff agreed and said it sounded good to him and kicked over the wheelbarrow and Humperdink fell out of the wheelbarrow and rolled out of the ring. Sullivan started to walk down to ringside with Vachon. Vachon tended to Humperdink outside the ring to the side of Orndorff as Sullivan slowly started getting into the ring. Vachon made her way behind Orndorff and slipped into the ring as Sullivan continued getting into the ring. Vachon tried to hit Orndorff with a low blow, but Orndorff caught her and grabbed her by the hair, holding her at bay and challenging Sullivan to get into the ring. Sullivan backed off and demanded that Orndorff let her go. He put her, kicking and screaming, in position for the piledriver. Sullivan slid into the ring and Orndorff let Vachon go, throwing her to the mat and charging at Sullivan. Vachon slipped out of the ring as did Sullivan before Orndorff could get his hands on him. As Sullivan, Vachon, and Humperdink made a hasty exit, Orndorff picked up the microphone and said, “Go ahead, Sullivan. Run while you can, because in four days you’re going to be locked inside a 15-foot high steel cage with me. There will no interference from the fat clown or the biker bitch, there will be no escape, and there will be no survival for you, Kevin Sullivan. For too long you’ve been running around here like evil incarnate unleashed. Well this Sunday night, at LCW SuperClash, I’m putting evil back in the box and I’m making sure it never gets out again.”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko called attention to Angelo Poffo, the 84 year old father of Macho Man Randy Savage and the Genius Lanny Poffo, who was sitting in the front row.

Tito Santana defeated the Genius Lanny Poffo in 6:17 by disqualification after Rick Martel interfered and attacked Santana. Before the match, Poffo gave his father a hug before he got into the ring. After the match, Martel locked Santana in the Boston Crab and refused to release the hold as Poffo kicked at Santana’s head. LCW United States Champion Macho Man Randy Savage ran out and pulled Martel off of Santana as Poffo jumped out of the ring. Martel ran from ringside as medical officials came out to check on Santana and help him from ringside. Savage called his brother into the ring and Poffo cautiously climbed into the ring. Savage said he didn’t know what had happened to his brother in the past several weeks, but he crossed the line last week when he hit him with his metal scroll. Poffo admitted that it might have been a mistake, but it wasn’t an accident. Poffo said since Savage won the LCW United States Championship he had stopped returning Poffo’s calls, he had stopped hanging out with him, and he had stopped traveing with him. Poffo said he missed his brother and he didn’t want to have to do it, but if taking the LCW United States Championship from him at LCW SuperClash this Sunday would bring them back together, than that’s what he would have to do. Savage got in Poffo’s face and the two men were about to come to blows when a voice came over the PA system that said, “Stop it! Stop this, right now!” The voice belonged to Angelo Poffo who had grabbed a microphone and was let past the security guard rail by a security official. Poffo got into the ring and said his sons needed to stop acting like a bunch of babies and start acting like men. He said he was so proud for the many months that they worked together, as a team, conquering the legends in Legends Championship Wrestling. He said he was never prouder than when he saw his son Lanny Poffo helping his brother reach for the “brass ring”, the LCW Universal Championship. Poffo grabbed the microphone from his father and said, “That’s the problem, old man. You’ve always been so proud of him, you’ve always been so supportive of him. It’s always been about the Macho Man Randy Savage. Well, what about me, Dad? What about me? I’m actually a Poffo. He was so ashamed of his name, so ashamed of you, that he had to change his name, he had to become someone else. But I was proud of you, I was proud of my family and I was proud of my name. And what did I ever get for it? What did it ever get me? Nothing!” Poffo turned to leave, but his father grabbed his arm. Poffo turned around and pushed his father to the mat. In the instant that he had realized what he had done, Poffo leapt from the ring as Savage checked on his fallen father. Poffo, upset with what he had done, stormed from ringside as Savage called for medical officials to help his father from ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich and Missy Hyatt defeated LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard and Baby Doll in a 7:47 in a mixed tag team match when Rich pinned Blanchard after Hyatt hit Blanchard with a low blow. After the match, Baby Doll went after Missy Hyatt and the two women brawled and even hit their own charges as they tried to separate them. Eric Bischoff came out and said, “That’s it! That’s enough! Stop it, damn it! Control them, damn it!” Blanchard and Rich were finally able to separate the two women and Bischoff got in the ring. Bischoff said that LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner sent him to ringside to restore order and to ensure order between the two women. Bischoff said, “So here’s what we’re going to do. Starting tonight and lasting for the next four days, until the end of the unification match at LCW SuperClash between LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich and LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, Missy Hyatt and Baby Doll must keep their hands off of each other. If you don’t Ted Turner has authorized me to inform you that both Rich and Blanchard will be stripped of their titles and the titles will be declared vacant!” Bischoff left ringside as both Blanchard and Rich looked at each other for a moment as Hyatt and Baby Doll exchanged words from across the ring. Blanchard grabbed Baby Doll by the arm and put her in the corner and got in her face and yelled at her and held the belt in front of her and asked her if she knew how important the title was as Rich quickly dragged Hyatt from ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Diamond Dallas Page (with Eric Bischoff) defeated Don Muraco in 5:18 by pinfall after the Diamond Cutter. After the match, Bischoff came into the ring with Page’s crown, robe, and scepter. Dr. Death Steve Williams came out and went to hit Page with a spear, but Page threw Bischoff in front of him and Williams hit Bischoff with the spear as Page left ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff and Ken Patera defeated the Bolsheviks (with General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) in 8:24 by pinfall when Koloff pinned Zhukov after the Russian Sickle clothesline. After the match, Koloff and Patera celebrated as they left ringside. Meanwhile, in the ring, Akbar and Al-Kassie blamed Zhukov for the loss, his second in as many weeks. Zhukov started yelling back at Akbar and Al-Kassie. Volkoff pushed Zhukov away and Akbar and Al-Kassie walked away without Zhukov.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Jim Neidhart defeated Jim Powers in 1:09 by pinfall after the Anvil Flattener running powerslam. After the match, Neidhart locked the Sharpshooter on Powers and refused to release the hold. Security officials came out, but they couldn’t pull Neidhart off of Powers. The Dynamite Kid came out, on crutches again after being attacked and reinsured two weeks ago, and hit Neidhart across the back with a crutch, forcing Neidhart to release the hold. Neidhart quickly got back to his feet, shaking off the crutch shot. Neidhart went to attack Dynamite, but he raised his other crutch and was ready to hit Neidhart with it, but Neidhart backed off and left the ring.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Big Van Vader (with Stan Hansen) defeated Terry Funk (with Manny Fernandez) and One Man Gang (with King Kong Bundy) in 6:35 by pinfall when he pinned Funk after the Vader Bomb.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko reviewed the complete card for this Sunday’s LCW SuperClash 2009 pay-per-view:

- LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA vs. the Nature Boy Ric Flair.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA defeated Barry Windham (with JJ Dillon) in 11:55 by pinfall after the belly-to-belly suplex. After the match, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard came out and attacked Magnum, but Magnum managed to fend them off and hit Blanchard with a belly-to-belly suplex. When Magnum tried to hit Flair with the belly-to-belly suplex, Flair managed to escape and rolled out of the ring, exiting up the ramp with Blanchard and Windham.

In the parking lot, Stone Cold Steve Austin was in his black pickup truck and trying to leave the arena when Bill Goldberg turned the corner in his Hummer. Goldberg and Austin revved their engines. Goldberg sped toward Austin and Austin sped toward Goldberg, but before they collided, Goldberg swerved his car to avoid Austin, lost control of the vehicle and drove it into the parking lot wall. With severe front end damage, damage to the parking lot wall, and smoke coming from the front of the Hummer, security and medical officials ran to the scene. They found that Goldberg wasn’t moving and removed him from the vehicle before loading him onto a stretcher. As he was being loaded into the ambulance, from the broadcast booth, Schiavone questioned whether Goldberg would be able to wrestle Austin at LCW SuperClash this Sunday and what that meant for the future of Legends Championship Wrestling.

LCW Showdown Television Preview 06.10.09: The Last Stop Before SuperClash

2009-06-09T09:25:00.000-07:00

The Future of the Company:
It was announced on LCW's Official Twitter account (twitter.com/lcwrestling) last week that LCW may be in danger of losing their network deal to broadcast LCW Showdown. The network, owned by Ted Turner, is unsure if they will continue broadcasting the highly rated wrestling program and we are unsure if a deal was made to keep the show on the air. The contract, which is set to expire in three weeks, was being renegotiated and the strained relationship between LCW Founder Christian Calaway and LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner, and their pending confrontation at LCW SuperClash this Sunday, only makes the negotiations more difficult. We undertsand that Calaway will have a bombshell announcement regarding the future of Legends Championship Wrestling on this week's edition of LCW Showdown at the start of the show.

A Sight for Sore Eyes:
The end of last week's edition of LCW Showdown was a sight that some LCW fans had to look away from. The show ended, with the number-one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, Ric Flair, standing over the champion, Magnum TA, with the title. Fans, and legends, are still outraged that Flair is still being allowed to have his title shot at LCW SuperClash. And with SuperClash just days away, you have got to know Magnum TA is chomping at the bit to get his hands on the Nature Boy.

Brawl to end it All:
Last week, during a tag team main event, Bill Goldberg and Stone Colt Steve Austin brawled to the back, leaving Austin's tag team partner, Magnum TA on his own. Austin and Goldberg, who will clash this Sunday, will not only be fighting for themselves, but will also be fighting to determine who is the Chairman of the Board; Ted Turner or Christian Calaway. A brawl last week, and a match this Sunday, the question is what will happen this week on LCW Showdown?

Hart-felt Challenge:
Last week, Bret Hart laid it all on the table to his former Hart Foundation tag team partner, Jim The Anvil Neidhart. Hart said he would be at SuperClash and if Neidhart wanted to settle their issues they could do it then and there. A couple of weeks ago, the Dynamite Kid revealed the person who attacked him backstage about a month ago to be Neidhart. Then, after the revelation, Neidhart proceeded to tell Hart that he did it for them. When Hart was having none of it, Neidhart attacked him. Hart made the challenge last week, but will he get a response from the man some are dubbing “Benedict Anvil”?

Imploding Disciples:
The Disciples of Allah are imploding before our very eyes. Last week, when the Bolsheviks lost in a match against LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff and Sgt. Slaughter, their managers, General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie berated Boris Zhuvkov for the loss. Even his own partner, Nikolai Kolvoff blamed him. With a six man tag team match just days away, and the Disciples of Allah imploding from within, can they get back on track and keep the Disciples of together? Or is this the end of one of the most hated factions in LCW?

Rich Revenge:
An attack on LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, orchestrated by LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich, led to a six man tag team match between the two. With Blanchard teaming with the returning Arn and Ole Anderson for one night only, and Rich teaming with Austin Idol and Hollywood John Tatum. After the match, Baby Doll, fed up with Missy Hyatt, laid out a challenge. In an attempt to neutralize Hyatt this Sunday, the Perfect 10 challenged her to a mixed tag match this week on Showdown, with the lovely lady legends teaming with their charges. The challenge has been accepted and the match will happen this week on LCW Showdown. I can hear it now, “Catfight!”

Also, watch out for:
Last week, Big Van Vader and Stan Hansen, still unable to get along, had an impromptu street fight. The fight stopped, as Terry Funk and Manny Fernandez, and One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy made their presence felt. What will happen this week, just days away from the Triple Threat Tag Match for the Unified LCW Tag Team Titles? And as the division heats up, which teams will step up in the next few weeks to be crowned number-one contenders?

Also, Rick Martel and Tito Santana will meet to finally settle the score on Sunday – in a loser leaves LCW I Quit match. What will go down this week?

Martel said he was going to make Santana say, “I quit!” Santana said that wasn’t enough for him. He wanted more. He said he was fine with making Martel say “I quit,” but he wanted it to have more lasting consequences. Santana said he wanted to make it a Loser Leaves LCW, I Quit match. Santana said if Martel could accept that stipulation than he would be more than willing to make him say “I quit” and be the one to send him out of Legends Championship Wrestling once and for all!

LCW Showdown Television Preview 06.03.09: Flair is Flair!

2009-06-02T09:33:00.001-07:00

With LCW SuperClash just two weeks away, this week's LCW Showdown will be pivotal as the legends of Legends Championship Wrestling attempt to continue gaining momentum heading into the biggest event of the year.

Flair Contending... again?:
Last week on LCW Showdown, Ric Flair made another return to Legends Championship Wrestling, facing Barry Windham in the main event, with the winner moving on to SuperClash on June 14 to meet LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA. Flair won the match decisively and is officially now the number-one contender. As SuperClash draws nearer, what will Champion and Challenger have in store for one another? And what has Barry Windham got to say about losing his status as number one contender last week?

A Stone Cold Classic:
Last week, we found out that at LCW SuperClash it will be Bill Goldberg vs. Steve Austin with LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner in Goldberg's corner and LCW Founder Christian Calaway in Austin's corner. The respective winner will gain COMPLETE control over Legends Championship Wrestling and will be the Chairman of the Board with the other having to leave Legends Championship Wrestling. Last week, a tag team match between Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page and LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA and Austin took an unexpected twist when Dr. Death Steve Williams intervened. This week on LCW Showdown, with Austin and Goldberg under the same roof, and their epic encounter just weeks away, it will be a tumultuous atmosphere to say the least!

Feeling The Bang:
Last week, DDP felt the “bang” at the hands of Dr. Death Steve Williams, when Williams interfered in the aforementioned tag match, spearing Page. Reports have circulated around the locker room that Dr. Death has had enough of Page and he's been telling a lot of people backstage that he'll “give Page any match he wants” at LCW SuperClash. We're not sure what this entails, and whether Page will take him up on that. One thing we do know, however, is that Williams is looking for revenge!

Triple Threat Tumult:
As announced on LCW Showdown several weeks ago, the LCW United States and World Tag Team Titles will be officially unified at LCW SuperClash on June 14th, in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match. With Terry Funk and Manny Fernandez abandoning their respective partners and joining forces, Big Van Vader and One Man Gang have been forced to find new partners. Last week, Big Van Vader found his partner in Stan Hansen, but the two failed to mesh to find success in their first outing as a team. This week, will One Man Gang be any luckier when he reveals his tag team partner to the world. And you have to know that Terry Funk and Manny Fernandez will be watching.

The House Falls Down:
Last week, an edition of the Doll House, with special guest Missy Hyatt, ended in disaster when LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich, Austin Idol and Hollywood John Tatum attacked LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard. What will come of this, on this weeks edition of LCW Showdown?

Benedict “Anvil”:
Dynamite Kid was attacked in the locker room over a month ago. His assailant a mystery until last week, when it was revealed that Jim The Anvil Neidhart was behind the attack. When questioned on his decision to attack Dynamite, the Anvil cited he was “doing it for Bret Hart” and said that they should be getting the Tag Team Championship match, not Kid and Hart. It ended in a brawl between Neidhart and Hart, and you have to believe there will be some sort of confrontation, possibly leading to something bigger, this week on LCW Showdown.

Also Watch Out For:
Last week, it was announced that LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff, Sgt. Slaughter and Ken Patera would face The Disciples of Allah at LCW SuperClash. If Patera's team won the match, the Disciples of Allah faction would split. This week, we're sure that the Disciples will look to build some momentum.

This week is sure to be one hell of a show. With SuperClash around the corner, you can't afford to miss out!

LCW Showdown Television Results 05.27.09

2009-05-27T08:57:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (May 27, 2009) live from the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY.

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 talked about the return of Ric Flair to WWE and his departure from LCW. They also discussed the fact that Barry Windham had been selected as his replacement in the main event match at LCW SuperClash to face LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA for the title. Schiavone noted that on LCW’s Official Twitter account (twitter.com/lcwrestling) there were rumors that Flair had met with LCW Founder Christian Calaway, LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner, and Magnum TA to discuss salvaging the main event at SuperClash, but that nothing had come of the meeting, if it even really happened.

In the ring, a table was setup and Sean Mooney introduced LCW Founder Christian Calaway and LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA. After they got in the ring and took their places at the table, Mooney introduced the number one contender for the title, Barry Windham, who came out with JJ Dillon, LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, and Baby Doll. Windham and Dillon sat down at the table across from Magnum and Calaway. Magnum TA signed the contract without saying a word. As Windham went to sign the contract, LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner came out and said, “Wait a minute. Wait a minute! Mr. Windham, please don’t sign that contract.” Turner had a contract in his hand and got into the ring. He announced that he was removing Windham from the main event. Calaway said he couldn’t just take someone out of the main event and, more importantly, he couldn’t just remove someone who had earned his spot in the main event. Turner said he could just take someone out of the main event because he was the Chairman of the Board and, as for Windham earning his spot, Turner said, with a smile on his face, “From what I saw last week, he wouldn’t have stood much of a chance against Stone Cold Steve Austin without help from Bill Goldberg.” Turner then introduced Windham’s replacement in the main event…the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Flair came out and got in the ring and shook Windham’s hand. Turner said Flair would take Windham’s place because he deserves to be the number one contender. He also said he was taking a certain amount of pride in giving Flair the match just because it pissed Calaway off. Calaway reminded Turner that due to the lawyers and the LCW Board of Directors, he and Turner had to function under a code of “operational compromise.” Calaway said, “With that in mind, I’m all right with Ric Flair being the number one contender…when he earns it. So if you want Flair to be the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, well, he’s going to have to earn it. In the interest of ‘operational compromise,’ I’ll give you Ric Flair in the main event for the LCW Universal Champion against Magnum TA in Charlotte, NC, if he can beat…Barry Windham tonight!” Flair, Dillon, and Windham threw a fit, but Calaway stood his ground and said, “That’s how it’s going to be boys. You can thank Ted Turner.” Magnum and Calaway walked out of the ring as Turner talked with Dillon, Flair, and Windham as the show went to commercial.

In the back, LCW Founder Christian Calaway approached LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner and said, “You know, Teddy, since we’re working so well together with the ‘operational compromise’ I thought maybe tonight you and I might stage an epic main event. Now, while it doesn’t get much better than Horseman vs. Horseman, I think we can do one better. How about a double main event? How about a tag team match? How about you take Bill Goldberg and team him with Diamond Dallas Page and we pit them against two of my guys?” Turner laughed and said, “You have guys?” Calaway said he had guys and Turner dismissively said, “Sure, whatever.” Calaway asked if Turner wanted to know who Goldberg and Page would be facing and Turner said, “Sure, whatever.” Calaway whistled and LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA and Stone Cold Steve Austin walked up and stood next to him. Calaway said, “I’m sure you saw the wrestling clinics these two put on when they were in the ring together a few years ago. I mean, we’re talking Matches of the Year, genuine classics. Imagine what they can do as a team. Good luck, Teddy.” Calaway, Austin, and Magnum walked away as Turner looked on shocked.

Kevin Sullivan (with Sir Oliver Humperdink and Luna Vachon) defeated Ken Patera in 5:52 by pinfall after the double stomp. Before the match, Humperdink said that he picked up Ken Patera when the Disciples of Allah threw him out. Humperdink welcomed Patera to come to the New House of Humperdink with he and Sullivan. Patera answered Humperdink with a punch that knocked him down to the mat and Humperdink rolled out of the ring as Sullivan attacked Patera from behind to start the match. After the match, Paul Orndorff came out and said he was tired of chasing Sullivan. He challenged Sullivan to a match next week, but Sullivan refused saying he didn’t want to waste his time with Orndorff anymore. Orndorff suggested making it a handicap match. Orndorff said he would take on Sullivan and a partner, but only if he could pick the partner. Sullivan laughed and said he didn’t want to fall into a trap, but he liked mind games so he would play along. Sullivan agreed to the match and asked who his partner would be. Orndorff smiled and said, “Sir Oliver Humperdink!” Humperdink looked shocked and didn’t want to be in the match, but Sullivan said everything would be all right and they would take care of Paul Orndorff once and for all together. They both smiled as Orndorff walked away.

In the back, the Destruction Crew approached Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk, who were holding the vacated LCW World Tag Team Championships and the vacated LCW United States Tag Team Championships. Mike Enos said they were serious about a title shot and wanting to be the first challengers when Funk and Fernandez officially unified the titles at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view. Fernandez said they might just have a way for the Destruction Crew to prove themselves worthy contenders. Funk and Fernandez walked away and the Destruction Crew looked at each other and Bloom said, “Wait a minute? Aren’t we the team that sent Demolition packing? What the hell do we need to prove?” They walked away.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed former LCW United States Champion Rick Martel about his rematch with the new LCW United States Champion Macho Man Randy Savage. Martel said if it wasn’t for Tito Santana, he’d still be the champion. He said he was going to make everything right again and regain the title tonight. “And if Santana wanted to interfere in my business again, maybe I’ll just have to break his back again,” Martel said before walking away as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW United States Champion Macho Man Randy Savage defeated Rick Martel in 6:17 by countout after Tito Santana came out and chased Martel through the crowd. In the middle of the crowd, Martel tripped and Santana got his hands on Martel and managed to lock him in the Boston Crab. Security officials arrived and tried to get Santana to release the hold, but he refused. They eventually managed to pull him off of Martel and Martel crawled away as security held Santana back.

In the back, Slick approached Mr. Fuji and the Orient Express and asked if he could have a moment to speak with them. Slick walked and talked with Mr. Fuji as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

In the back, Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk confronted Big Van Vader in the locker room and said they had a match for him and his new partner tonight, if he even had a partner. Vader said his partner was already in the building. Funk and Fernandez said they’ll face the Destruction Crew tonight. Vader told Funk and Fernandez to bring it on, but not to forget what this was all about: the titles that Funk and Fernandez were holding over their shoulders. Funk and Fernandez walked away as Vader continued preparing for action.

Baby Doll came out to host the “Doll House” interview segment and introduced her guest, Missy Hyatt. Missy came out and said she agreed to talk with Baby Doll and work everything out like women. Baby Doll started talking about Wildfire Tommy Rich and how proud she must be to have taken him to the LCW Television Championship. Baby Doll said she was proud of Tully Blanchard and his multiple title runs in Legends Championship Wrestling including his current run as the LCW International Champion. Missy said Baby Doll must be proud of her interview segment as well, the “Doll House.” Baby Doll said she was proud, but not as proud as Missy Hyatt must have been to host “Missy’s Manor,” during her time in the WWF. Missy said even though it didn’t work out, she was proud just like she was proud of her time with Hot Stuff & Hyatt International. Baby Doll laughed and asked if Missy was seriously trying to compare a third rate, territorial group with the most dominant, elite, and respected group in professional wrestling history, the Four Horsemen. Baby Doll said, “And Missy, you must be so proud of your little website, MissyHyatt.com, where you pose naked for horny little perverts and, in spite of all your plastic surgery, the fake tits and the posing naked, you still can’t get a spread in Playboy. I’ve been asked three times to be in Playboy, twice in the ‘80s and once again only two years ago. See, the biggest difference between you and me, Missy, is that you give it away almost for free, but me, they can’t afford me.” Missy got in Baby Doll’s face and both women dropped their microphones, but Missy could be overheard saying something about Sam Houston. At that point, Baby Doll tackled Missy and started laying in punches. Missy grabbed Baby Doll by the hair and turned her over and started punching Baby Doll. Tully Blanchard ran out and pulled Missy, kicking and screaming, off of Baby Doll. Wildfire Tommy Rich, Hollywood John Tatum, and Austin Idol ran out and attacked Tully Blanchard, beating him down and tearing apart the “Doll House” set, using the pieces of the set as weapons on Blanchard. Satisfied that they had sufficiently beaten down Blanchard, Rich, Idol, and Tatum walked away from ringside with Hyatt.

In the production truck, Dynamite Kid talked with a security guard from Duluth, GA, who showed Dynamite a video tape from the Gwinnett Arena where he was attacked in April. The cameraman tried to get the best angle to see the videotape, but the audience couldn’t really see who was attacking Dynamite. The security guard said, “Isn’t that who I think that is? I mean, it’s him, right?” Dynamite said, “You’re damn right it’s him. Son of a bitch.” Dynamite stormed out of the production truck as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Skyscrapers defeated the Orient Express (with Mr. Fuji and Slick) in 5:21 by disqualification after Mr. Fuji interfered and broke his cane over Spivey’s back as Spivey had Sato in a bear hug and Slick distracted the referee. After the match, Sid Vicious grabbed Slick and pulled him into the ring, hitting him with the powerbomb before leaving ringside with Spivey. Medical officials came out and took Slick from ringside on a stretcher.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

The Dynamite Kid came out and passed by Slick who was being wheeled to the back beside the entrance ramp as Dynamite made his way to the ring. He asked the Hart Foundation to join him in the ring and Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart came out and got in the ring with Dynamite. Dynamite said he saw video tape footage from a security camera in the arena the night he was attacked and he knows who attacked him…Jim Neidhart! Hart wouldn’t believe it and said it couldn’t be Neidhart. Neidhart said it was true. He was the one that attacked Dynamite. Dynamite went to attack Neidhart, but Hart held him back. Neidhart said he did it for them, for the team. He said the Hart Foundation deserved the title shot, not Hart and Dynamite. He says he did it for Hart. Neidhart said everything he had ever done was for Hart. He said he took a bullet last week when he pushed him out of the way and took the Spear from Goldberg. Hart said he didn’t want to hear it and said that what Neidhart did was wrong and crossed the line. Neidhart said that was Hart’s problem. He wasn’t willing to cross the line. He wasn’t willing to do what it took, whatever it took, to be the best, to get the job done. Neidhart said Hart was holding them back and he was tired of it. Hart said he had enough and if this was the way Neidhart wanted to play things then they were through as a team. Hart went to leave the ring with Dynamite, but Neidhart attacked Hart from behind. Dynamite pulled Neidhart off of Hart and threw him into the corner. Dynamite went to check on Hart, and Neidhart chop blocked Dynamite’s injured knee, sending him down to the mat, writhing in pain as Neidhart left the ring laughing.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff wrestled Abdullah the Butcher (with General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) to a no contest in 4:10 after the Disciples of Allah interfered and attacked Koloff. After the match, as the Disciples of Allah continued attacking Koloff, Sgt. Slaughter and Ken Patera came out and cleared the heels out of the ring. Patera challenged the Disciples of Allah to a six-man tag team match at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view. If he, Slaughter and Koloff won the match, the Disciples of Allah would have to disband. General Skandor Akbar came out with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie and Akbar said he would need something in return if the Disciples of Allah won. Akbar said he wanted the LCW Heritage Championship on the line. When a member of the Disciples of Allah scores the deciding pinfall or submission victory, regardless of who they pin or make submit, the title will change hands. The man with the decision victory will be the new LCW Heritage Champion, regardless of whether they pin Koloff, Slaughter, or Patera. Koloff agreed and the match was official as the Disciples of Allah walked away.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Big Van Vader came out and introduced his new tag team partner, and his partner for the triple threat match to determine the new LCW Unified Tag Team Champions at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view...Stan Hansen!

Big Van Vader and Stan Hansen wrestled the Destruction Crew to a no contest in 5:12 after Vader and Hansen started brawling with each other. After the match, Terry Funk and Manny Fernandez came out and laughed as security officials came out to separate Hansen and Vader from each other as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Bill Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page (with LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner) defeated LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA and Stone Cold Steve Austin (with LCW Founder Christian Calaway) in 8:34 by disqualification after Dr. Death Steve Williams interfered and hit Page with a Spear. After the match, Calaway said he was tired of “operational compromise” and he wanted his damn company back. Calaway suggested that Bill Goldberg and Stone Cold Steve Austin square off at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view with Turner and Calaway in the respective corners with the respective winner getting control of the company. Turner agreed and said when Goldberg beat Austin he didn’t want to see Calaway’s face ever again.

In the back, Barry Windham approached JJ Dillon and asked him if he was going to accompany him to ringside. Dillon said he thought it was best that he stay in the back. Windham said he understood and shook Dillon’s hand. Dillon wished him luck and Windham walked away as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Ric Flair defeated Barry Windham in 22:13 by pinfall with a small package to become the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship. Before the match, LCW Universal Champion came out and joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth to provide guest commentary during the match. After the match, Flair helped Windham to his feet and the two men shook hands and then Flair turned his attention to Magnum in the broadcast booth. Magnum got up from his seat and raised the title above his head as the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Television Preview May 27, 2009: The Countdown Continues!

2009-05-26T10:39:00.000-07:00

With the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view on Sunday, June 14th, 2009, rapidly approaching, the legends of Legends Championship Wrestling are stepping up their game to ensure a spot on the card. This week's show will be no different.

Second Chance for Windham:
Last week on LCW Showdown, Barry Windham defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin in a number one contenders match. Due to the stipulation of the match, Windham is now the number-one contender to the LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA, and will face Magnum in an Uprising rematch at LCW SuperClash. Windham's victory, in many people's eyes, is tainted, as he beat Austin with the help of Bill Goldberg, who inexplicably got involved. With SuperClash now being headlined by Magnum-Windham II, what can we expect as this bitter rivalry rages on. And will Stone Cold seek revenge on Goldberg?

Sharing Power:
As LCW lawyers continue to try and solve the question as to who is the LCW Chairman of the Board - Christian Calaway or Ted Turner, it would appear that Calaway and Turner are sharing power in a delicately tentative agreement they are calling "operational compromise." We saw an example of this last week, as Calaway and Turner went back and forth on who should be the number-one contender to Magnum TA's LCW Universal Championship, until it was settled by the LCW Board of Director member. Shared power is sure to create some controversial moments in Legends Championship Wrestling over the next few weeks. What will happen?

(Dr.) Death Threats:
While Diamond Dallas Page was crowned the King of the Legends at Uprising last month, Dr. Death Steve Williams is still unhappy about it. After hitting Page with a Spear through his own throne at Uprising, then promising to 'break' Page last week, what does Williams have in mind? What is he going to do to the new King of the Legends? Will he even get the chance to get his hands on Page with Eric Bischoff, LCW Chairman Ted Turner and Bill Goldberg around him?

Chasing Championships:
With the LCW United States and World Tag Team Championships officially vacant, it has been decided that they will officially be unified at LCW SuperClash... in a triple threat match! Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk will face Big Van Vader, with a partner of his choosing, and One Man Gang, with a partner of his choosing, to determine, officially, the Unified Tag Team Champions. But with other teams such as Doom lurking around for a title shot, whoever wins this match at SuperClash has to be alert and on their toes as they won't be celebrating for long.

Macho Champion:
Last week, Macho Man Randy Savage took the LCW United States Championship from Rick Martel, with a little assistance from Tito Santana. Santana, who was injured at the hands of Martel when Santana didn't give his former Strike Force partner a shot at the United States Championship, has been out of action for a few months. Returning at LCW Uprising, he has one thing on his mind: vengeance. Who will be the Macho Man's number-one contender? And will Tito Santana finally get his hands on Rick Martel?

Rebuilding The House:
After turning on Paul Orndorff at LCW Uprising, Sir Oliver Humperdink has made it clear that he is going to rebuild the New House of Humperdink, beginning with Kevin Sullivan. From last week, it would appear that Paul Orndorff isn't done with Sullivan or Humperdink. What will come of this situation?

Spears of Dynamite:
After being attacked a month ago, the Dynamite Kid is still looking for the man who attacked him. Last week, he announced that he was going to speak with the janitor. Has he done so? And will he be looking for revenge on Goldberg, who hurt, with a spear, Jim Neidhart last week? Dynamite's investigation continues this week.

Also, watch out for...
Last week, the Disciples of Allah attacked LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff and Sgt. Slaughter during a title match, before Ken Patera cleared the ring. What will happen next?

The Destruction Crew are on the hunt for the LCW Unified Tag Team Championships after SuperClash, but so is everyone else. How will the number-one contenders be decided?

LCW Showdown Television Results 05.20.09

2009-05-20T11:52:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (May 20, 2009) live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA.

From the broadcast booth, Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko welcomed everyone to a special three-hour edition of 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 talked about the LCW Uprising pay-per-view two weeks ago including the return of Ric Flair and the fact that he attacked LCW Universal Championship Magnum TA after Barry Windham’s failed attempt to win the title.

LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA came out and talked about being attacked by Ric Flair two weeks ago at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view. Magnum said he had been trying to find Flair since then, but Flair had been avoiding him. Magnum said he had heard that Flair had decided to hide from him and went back to the WWE. Magnum said Flair made the right decision by not being in the arena tonight. On the LegendsTron, a limousine was seen arriving in the parking lot. LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, Baby Doll, Barry Windham, and JJ Dillon got out of the limousine as a black pickup truck sped past them. The pickup truck drove into the arena as Stone Cold Steve Austin’s entrance music started playing over the public address system. Austin pulled the truck up to ringside and got out of the trucking, posing for the crowd before getting in the ring with Magnum TA. Austin grabbed a microphone and said he didn’t mean to interrupt, but the last time he and Magnum TA were in a ring together they tore the damn house down. Austin said he had heard that LCW SuperClash was just around the corner and he couldn’t imagine a better way to remove the bad taste that last year’s SuperClash left in his mouth than beating Magnum TA for the LCW Universal Championship. Magnum said there was no one else in professional wrestling who had earned his respect over the past four years more than Austin. Magnum said it would be an honor to defend the title against him SuperClash, but he had business to settle with Ric Flair first. Magnum said he didn’t care what Flair was doing up north, but he wanted Flair to be a man and show up so he could kick Flair’s ass in the heart of Horsemen country. LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard, Baby Doll, JJ Dillon and Barry Windham came out and joined Austin and Magnum in the ring. Dillon said he was glad that Magnum and Austin had come to an agreement that worked for them, but it didn’t work for him. Dillon said he wanted a rematch for Windham for the LCW Universal Championship at LCW SuperClash. Austin said that wasn’t going to happen and he’d kick Windham’s ass if he had to make sure that it didn’t happen. LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner came out with Eric Bischoff, Diamond Dallas Page, and Bill Goldberg. Turner announced that at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view on Sunday, June 14th, LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA would defend his title against Barry Windham. Dillon smiled and the audience exploded in a chorus of boos. Dillon told Austin that it helped to have friends in high places. Austin smiled back and said, “I know what you mean.” LCW Founder Christian Calaway came out and said that at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view on Sunday, June 14th, LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA would defend his title against Stone Cold Steve Austin. Windham and Dillon threw a fit and Dillon told Calaway that he couldn’t do that. On the LegendsTron, the Board of Directors appeared and Bruno Sammartino said, “Actually, Mr. Dillon, he can do that. But, unfortunately, Mr. Turner can also name you as the number one contender for the title. Because the lawyers are still working to determine who is indeed in charge of Legends Championship Wrestling, who is the Chairman of the Board, we’re forced to make…operational compromise. There’s only one way to settle this issue of who is the official number one contender. Tonight, on LCW Showdown, in the main event Barry Windham will face Stone Cold Steve Austin one on one to determine the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship at the LCW SuperClash pay-per-view Sunday, June 14th.” The LegendsTron went dark as Windham and Blanchard attacked Austin and Magnum. Austin and Magnum started to gain the upper hand, but Turner sent Goldberg and Page to the ring. Calaway called to the back for reinforcements and Dr. Death Steve Williams, Nikita Koloff, and Macho Man Randy Savage, and the Hart Foundation came out and, with Austin and Magnum, cleared Windham, Blanchard, Goldberg and Page out of the ring. Williams, Koloff, and Savage stayed in the ring and Magnum and Austin stood face to face and as Windham signaled that the title would be his as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich defeated Koko B. Ware in 6:33 by pinfall after the Wildfire Driver. During the match, Missy Hyatt jumped up on the ring apron to distract Koko B. Ware, but Baby Doll came out and pulled her off the ring apron and the two women brawled as Rich hit Ware with the Wildfire Driver for the pinfall and the win. After the match, Rich pulled Baby Doll off of Hyatt. LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard came out and pushed Rich away and told him to keep his hands off of Baby Doll. He warned Rich that the next time he touched Baby Doll, he’d kick his ass. Blanchard went to walk away with Baby Doll, but Missy Hyatt swung him around and slapped him across the face and then went after Baby Doll as Rich attacked Blanchard. Blanchard managed to gain the upper hand and tackled Rich down to the arena floor, hitting him with several punches and then kicking at him before walking away to separate Missy and Baby Doll again. He pulled Baby Doll away, but Missy kept trying to get at her. Blanchard grabbed Missy by the arms and pushed her down to the floor where Rich was laying. Blanchard walked away with Baby Doll.

In the back, LCW Founder Christian Calaway was with LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Nikita Koloff, Macho Man Randy Savage and the Hart Foundation. Calaway thanked them for their loyalty and said if there was anything he could do for them all they had to do was ask.

In the back, an irate LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich, with Missy Hyatt, confronted Austin Idol and Hollywood John Tatum and berated them for not coming out to help him with Tully Blanchard. Idol and Tatum said they thought Rich had everything handled. Rich yelled at them and said he didn’t have it handled and he needed them. Rich said if they didn’t have his back he’d find someone who would. He said they could be replaced and walked away with Missy.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk came out with the LCW World Tag Team Championships and the LCW United States Tag Team Championships and declared themselves the Unified Tag Team Champions. One Man Gang and Big Van Vader came out and Vader said neither Fernandez nor Funk could call themselves the champions. Vader said he only knew one way to settle this: the two of them, Gang and Vader, come down to the ring and kick Fernandez and Funk’s asses. Vader and Gang left the entrance stage and started making their way down the entrance ramp.

Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk wrestled Big Van Vader and One Man Gang to a no contest in 3:28 after Vader and Gang started brawling with each other. After the match, LCW Founder Christian Calaway came out and announced that as of the LCW Uprising pay-per-view two weeks ago, the LCW World Tag Team Championships and the LCW United States Tag Team Championships were vacant. Calaway announced that at LCW SuperClash there would be a triple threat match to officially unify the LCW World and United States Tag Team Championships. Calaway said he had selected partners and just as he was about to announce the partners, LCW Chairman of the Board Ted Turner came out and said Calaway couldn’t make this decision unilaterally. Turner said he wanted to allow Vader and Gang to pick their own partners and Calaway agreed to the decision. Turner said next week Gang and Vader would announce their partners for the triple threat match at LCW SuperClash.

In the back, the Dynamite Kid, still on crutches after being attacked by an unknown assailant backstage last month, was talking with the Hart Foundation. Dynamite said he was narrowing in on who attacked him and he was going to speak with a janitor who may have seen who attacked him. In the back, Diamond Dallas Page and Bill Goldberg walked by and started making jokes about the Dynamite Kid and the Hart Foundation had to hold Dynamite back. Bret Hart suggested that Page should be more worried about Dr. Death Steve Williams. Page went to attack Hart, but Goldberg held him back and said, “Maybe you boys should just be worried about us tonight.”

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Macho Man Randy Savage defeated LCW United States Champion Rick Martel in 9:47 by pinfall to win the LCW United States Championship after the flying elbow smash after Tito Santana interfered and hit Martel with a flying forearm smash. After the match, Santana chased Martel from ringside.

In the back, Sir Oliver Humperdink, Kevin Sullivan, and Luna Vachon were watching the footage of Humperdink turning on Paul Orndorff two weeks ago at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view. They laughed as they watched Humperdink hit Orndorff with his cane. Humperdink said he was tearing down the New House of Humperdink and rebuilding it better and stronger than ever before and he was laying the foundation with Kevin Sullivan. Humperdink said they had to tear down the New House of Humperdink and they were going to start with Don Muraco tonight.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Kevin Sullivan (with Sir Oliver Humperdink and Luna Vachon) defeated Don Muraco in 6:10 by disqualification after Paul Orndorff came out and attacked Sullivan, chasing him through the crowd and to the back. As Orndorff chased Sullivan through the crowd, Humperdink got in the ring with Muraco and was going to hit him with his cane, but Muraco got to his feet and grabbed Humperdink, but Vachon hit Muraco with a low blow. As Muraco fell to the mat, Humperdink and Vachon left ringside.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Diamond Dallas Page, the new King of the Legends, came out wearing his robe, crown, and carrying his scepter, came out with Eric Bischoff and Bill Goldberg. They got into the ring and Bischoff introduced Page as the King of the Legends. They demanded that the crew members bring Page’s throne into the ring so they could proceed with his coronation ceremony that was rudely interrupted by Dr. Death Steve Williams two weeks ago at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view when Page beat Williams in the finals of the King of the Legends tournament. Bischoff said Page beat Williams clean, fair and square, without any doubt or question. He said Page hit him with the Diamond Cutter and it was all over, but Williams couldn’t accept defeat like a man and instead he decided to attack Page like a coward during his coronation ceremony. Footage from the attack, including Williams hitting Page with the spear through the throne and breaking the throne, played on the LegendsTron. Bischoff asked again for crew members to bring out Page’s throne. Dr. Death Steve Williams came out carrying the broken pieces of the throne and asked if this was what Page and Bischoff were looking for. Williams said the throne was just the start of the devastation he was going to unleash on them. Williams told Page and Bischoff to take a good, long look at the broken throne because Williams was going to break Page just like he had broken the throne. Williams walked away as Page and Bischoff looked on, worried, and stared at the broken throne on the entrance stage.

The Hart Foundation came out to face Bill Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Bill Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page (with Eric Bischoff) defeated the Hart Foundation in 7:53 by pinfall when Goldberg pinned Jim Neidhart with a devastating Spear and the Jackhammer. During the match, Goldberg was going to hit Bret Hart with the Spear, but Neidhart pushed Hart out of the way and Goldberg hit Neidhart with the Spear instead. After the Spear, Neidhart was limp and Goldberg had a hard time picking him up off the mat to hit him with the Jackhammer as Hart and Page brawled outside the ring. After the match, Neidhart had to be taken from ringside on a stretcher.

In the back, Slick, with a big smile on his face, was shown walking through the arena corridor with Butch Reed and Ron Simmons as the show went to commercial.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Doom (with Slick) defeated the Bushwhackers in 0:29 by pinfall when Ron Simmons pinned Luke after the Dominator. After the match, Slick said Doom was back in Legends Championship Wrestling and they didn’t want to waste their time with losers like the Bushwhackers and they wanted to be the first team to face the LCW Unified Tag Team Championship no matter which team comes out of LCW SuperClash as the champions. The lights went out in the arena and the Skyscrapers came out to the entrance stage. Sid Vicious said the Skyscrapers were back and the only team that was going to face the new LCW United Tag Team Champions after LCW SuperClash would be them. Sid Vicious said he and Dan Spivey had some issues a few months ago, but they took some time off, settled their issues and were back and better than ever. Doom suggested that they find out now who would be the first team to get a shot at the tag team titles after they are unified at LCW SuperClash.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed the Hart Foundation about Jim Neidhart’s condition after being hit with the Spear and the Jackhammer. As the medic continued checking on Neidhart, Hart said that Neidhart was fine and he was just knocked out, but considering his history of concussions they thought it was best to take him from ringside on a stretcher. Hart thanked Neidhart sacrificing himself and taking the hit for the team.

In the back, LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff was talking in Russian to someone on a cell phone when Sgt. Slaughter approached him. Koloff saw Slaughter and ended his conversation. The two men shook hands and Koloff congratulated Slaughter on his victory over Stan Hansen two weeks ago at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view. Slaughter congratulated Koloff on successfully defending his title against Butch Reed. Koloff thanked Slaughter and added that even though he won, it didn’t end so well. Slaughter said he saw that and suggested that maybe he and Koloff should team up sometime so he could help Koloff exact some revenge on Doom. Koloff said he liked that idea. Koloff said if Slaughter didn’t have anything to do tonight, maybe he’d like a shot at the LCW Heritage Championship tonight. Slaughter thanked Koloff for the opportunity and promised him a great match.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff wrestled Sgt. Slaughter to a no contest in 6:04 after the Disciples of Allah interfered and attacked both Koloff and Slaughter. After the match, the Disciples of Allah continued attacking Koloff and Slaughter, including Abdullah the Butcher who hit Koloff with the Sudanese Meat Cleaver before Ken Patera came out with a steel chair and cleared the Disciples of Allah out of the ring.

In the back, the Destruction Crew approached Manny Fernandez and Terry Funk, who were polishing the LCW World Tag Team Championships and the LCW United States Tag Team Championships. Mike Enos said, “The last time we saw you guys, we were helping you, Manny, kick this old man’s ass. So, since we’re all friends again, we were thinking maybe you’d give us a sot at the unified LCW Tag Team Championships. We might even be able to help you unify the titles at LCW SuperClash if it ensures that we get the first shot at the titles.” Fernandez and Funk laughed and Fernandez said, “You thought maybe we’d give you a shot at the unified LCW Tag Team Championships.” Funk said, “And we need your help to win the titles?” Fernandez and Funk laughed again and Funk said, “We thought maybe you’d get in line and earn a shot like everybody else.” Wayne Bloom said, “Look around you. Forget about what’s right in front of you. Doom wants a piece, the Skyscrapers are back, and there’s a locker room full of teams who are looking to take those titles from you. If you do happen to walk out of SuperClash with the titles, just remember, we’re coming for you and we’re going to get you and those titles at some point.” Bloom and Enos walked away.

{COMMERCIAL BREAK}

Barry Windham (with JJ Dillon) defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin in 16:31 by pinfall to become the number one contender for the LCW Universal Championship after Bill Goldberg interfered and hit Austin with the Spear and a Jackhammer.

LCW Showdown Television Preview 05.20.09: SuperClash Nears!

This week's edition of LCW Showdown will be an interesting one to say the least. Due to a scheduling conflict last week, LCW Showdown results weren't posted. Some say that was a good thing, as now all the LCW Legends have had time to recover following the LCW Uprising pay-per-view, and it’s full steam ahead to SuperClash, the biggest event of the year.

Last week, LCW Founder, and former Chairman of the Board, Christian Calaway returned, and boy did he make an immediate impact. Backstage, Calaway attacked then-General Manager Eric Bischoff and threw him into a wall. It was discovered later, at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view that Calaway spoke with the LCW Board of Directors and they removed Bischoff as the General Manager. We now have to ask the question, with Bischoff gone as the General Manager, and Calaway's sights set clearly on taking his company back from Ted Turner, what will happen this week on LCW Showdown?

At Uprising, LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA retained his title, defeating Barry Windham. The Universal title, which he has held longer than any other legend, past or present, who has been featured in Legends Championship Wrestling, has stayed around Magnum's waste nearly a year now. What Magnum didn't expect, however, was the return of the Nature Boy Ric Flair, who shocked many by returning to Legends Championship Wrestling. However, this past Monday, Flair returned to World Wrestling Entertainment, which has left Flair's future in LCW in doubt. While it's been rumored that Flair was to be the next number-one contender for the LCW Universal Championship, nothing is concrete yet, and the question has to be whether Flair will still be the number-one contender or not. That question will be answered on Showdown this week.

Diamond Dallas Page is now, officially, the King of the Legends, which he achieved by defeating Dr. Death Steve Williams at Uprising. Page’s coronation, however, was very unceremonious, as he was speared into his own throne by Williams, breaking the back of it. Page, we’re sure, will be impossible to live with now that he has achieved immortality and become the King of the Legends, but what will Dr. Death have to say about Page’s newly won crown?

LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich will face Koko B. Ware in an LCW Uprising rematch. At Uprising, Rich lost to Ware by disqualification, which meant that the title didn’t switch hands. Could Ware pull out a pinfall victory and capture the title from Rich?

Sir Oliver Humperdink turned on all of his fans at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view, by turning on Paul Orndorff. Humperdink has vacated the New House of Humperdink and is making room for new company in the form of Kevin Sullivan and Luna Vachon. What will they do next?

A title unification match involving the LCW World Tag Team and LCW United States Championships led to be a slight bit of confusion. It was Manny Fernandez and One Man Gang versus Terry Funk and Big Van Vader, however, by the end of the night, it appeared that Fernandez and Funk were the Unified LCW Tag Team Champions. This week on LCW Showdown, we hope to get some clarification on this situation, and answer the following questions: Who are the Unified LCW Tag Champions, is it Funk and Fernandez? If so, where does that leave Vader and Gang? We hope for a bit of clarification this week.

A few weeks ago, The Dynamite Kid was attacked in the locker room. While not being allowed to compete, he has vowed that the search for his attacker will continue. Will it continued into Showdown this week? And will he find any evidence that could lead to his attacker?

Find out all this, and much more this week, as the road to the biggest event of the year, LCW SuperClash, begins!

LCW Showdown Television Results 05.06.09

2009-05-06T12:21:00.000-07:00

LCW Showdown Television Results (May 6, 2009) live from the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial in Rochester, NY.

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.

LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA came out with LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff and Billy Jack Haynes and got in the ring. Magnum looked at Koloff and then looked at Koloff again and back at Haynes. Magnum jokingly asked Koloff what was wrong with the picture. Haynes asked for the microphone and said that he wanted what they had: some gold! Haynes said he was going to get some at LCW Uprising this Sunday when he beats LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard. Barry Windham, his manager JJ Dillon, Butch Reed, his manager Slick, Blanchard, and his valet Baby Doll came out and from the entrance stage Blanchard challenged Magnum, Koloff, and Haynes to a six-man tag team match in tonight’s main event. Magnum, Koloff, and Haynes accepted the challenge.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed one half of the LCW World Tag Team Champions, the Raging Bull Manny Fernandez, and asked Fernandez about his tumultuous relationship with Terry Funk. Fernandez said he respected Funk and that wouldn’t stop him from kicking his ass if he needed to. He said he was sure Funk felt the same way. Fernandez said tonight wasn’t about he and Funk it was about “that big pussy” Big Van Vader taking offense to Fernandez hitting him with the title belt last week on LCW Showdown. Fernandez said that if someone gets in his way he’s going to knock him down, no matter how big or bad they think they are. “At the end of the day, everyone in Legends Championship Wrestling needs to look at my past and remember in the future, daddy, that I’m the biggest and baddest dog on this block,” he said before walking away.

Diamond Dallas Page came out and reminded everyone that because Macho Man Randy Savage and Bill Goldberg couldn’t control their emotions and let their match get out of control last week on LCW Showdown in their opening round match in the King of the Legends tournament, he automatically received a bye. Page said it was further proof that he was already the King of the Legends. Page joined Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko in the broadcast booth as the show went to commercial.

Meanwhile, Stan Hansen came out and hit Slaughter with the Lariat and then challenged him to a Finishing Move match at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view this Sunday in which the winner must hit his finishing move on his opponent before attempting a pinfall. “You want to pull a move out of mothballs, then I’ll have to be the one to put it back in storage,” Hansen said before walking out of the ring.

In the back, Sean Mooney approached an irate General Skandor Akbar and Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie as medical officials wrapped Abdullah’s head in bandages after Ken Patera threw a fireball in his face earlier in the evening. Akbar and Al-Kassie challenged Patera to an Inferno match at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view this Sunday adding, “You play with fire, but you’re going to get burned…again!”

In the back, LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich was with Missy Hyatt, wearing her referee’s tube top and short skirt, Hollywood John Tatum, and Austin Idol. They were making their way through the arena corridor on their way to the ring for Idol’s match with Koko B. Ware when LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff approached them and said, “I think we all know how important tonight’s match between Austin Idol and Koko B. Ware is going to be. Idol, if you win, you will be the number one contender for the LCW Television Championship at LCW Uprising and, as much as I’d love to see a rematch between the two of you again, I think we all know what happened the last time you two had to wrestle each other. Rich, last week, you interfered and impacted the outcome of the match between Koko B. Ware and Hollywood John Tatum. Now, while it wasn’t the impact you intended to make and let to an unintended outcome, I know history is bound to repeat itself, especially tonight. So tonight, Rich, Tatum, you two can hang back because you’re banned from ringside.” Rich and Tatum threw a fit, but Hyatt told them to calm down and reassured them that she would take care of everything. Hyatt walked away with Idol as the show went to commercial.

Bill Goldberg and Kevin Sullivan (with Luna Vachon) defeated Paul Orndorff and Macho Man Randy Savage in 9:58 by pinfall when Sullivan pinned Orndorff after Goldberg hit Orndorff with the spear. After the match, Savage hit Goldberg with a flying double axehandle and the two men brawled into the crowd as security officials ran into the crowd to separate them and ran into the ring to pull Sullivan off of Orndorff. LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff came out and announced that since Bill Goldberg and Randy Savage couldn’t keep their action in the ring, they would face each other at LCW Uprising this Sunday in a street fight match!

Big Van Vader (with Terry Funk) defeated Manny Fernandez (with One Man Gang) in 7:26 by pinfall after the powerbomb Funk tripped Fernandez as he was running to hit Vader with the Flying Burrito. After the match, Funk grabbed a microphone and said, “Our issues clearly aren’t over, yet. Clearly, we have some issues left to settle. So, why don’t we settle them this Sunday? As a matter of fact, why don’t we get our tag team partners, put the titles on the line, and settle them this Sunday. Everyone’s saying there’s too many damn titles in this damn company anyway and as far as I’m concerned, there’s only room for one tag team champions. So why don’t we just unify these titles. Why don’t we prove who the best tag team in Legends Championship Wrestling really is?” From the entrance ramp, Fernandez accepted the challenge.

In the back, Sean Mooney interviewed LCW United States Champion Rick Martel about the flirting last week between he and Dark Journey, the valet of Iceman King Parsons, his challenger for the title at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view this Sunday. Martel said clearly she was a beautiful woman with class, but more importantly, with taste. He said she knew a good looking man when she saw one and she knew he was a winner, not a loser like Iceman King Parsons. He invited her to come to ringside to watch his match tonight with Jim Powers.

Reed hit Koloff with a running shoulder tackle which knocked Koloff out of the ring as Windham covered Magnum for the pinfall and the win.

In the back, someone grabbed cameraman Jackie Crockett and said, “Follow me.” Crockett followed the man and the audience could only see his back as he approached a corner. When he turned the corner, it could be seen that the cameraman and the man he was following were now following LCW General Manager Eric Bischoff. The man got closer to Bischoff, grabbed him, and threw him, head first, into a wall. The man leaned down and said to Bischoff, "You won't be needed anymore." The man’s face still couldn’t be see, but he turned his head to the camera and it was former LCW Chairman of the Board and LCW Founder Christian Calaway. Calaway looked into the camera, put his finger to his mouth, said, “Shhhh,” and smiled as the audience exploded and the show went off the air.

LCW Showdown Television Preview: Road to Uprising

2009-05-05T09:45:00.001-07:00

This weeks LCW Showdown is the final stop before the LCW Uprising pay-per-view this Sunday, and what a wild ride it's been in LCW these past few months. Uprising, Sunday, marks the beginning of the countdown to the biggest event of the year - LCW SuperClash 2009. Can you afford to miss this?

Well, if you're still unsure, take a look at what we have in store for you this week...

In the main event this week, it's a six-man tag team match that incorporates three LCW Uprising matches as LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA, LCW Heritage Champion Nikita Koloff, and Billy Jack Haynes take on Barry Windham, Butch Reed, and LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard. LCW Universal Champion Magnum TA is set to defend his gold against Barry Windham at the LCW Uprising pay-per-view, while Butch Reed sets his eyes on taking the LCW Heritage Title from the "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff, and LCW International Champion Tully Blanchard takes on Billy Jack Haynes for Blanchard's title. This main event has all the makings of, to quote a wrestling legend, Jim Ross, an absolute slobber knocker. Make sure you check it out!

Over the past few weeks, the LCW World Tag Team Champions and the LCW United States Tag Team Champions seem to have been crossing paths a bit more than usual. It all started when LCW World Tag Team Champion Manny Fernandez met LCW United States Tag Team Champions Terry Funk in the arena corridor, and Funk made it clear he was disappointed at Fernandez choosing to team up with One Man Gang to become World Tag Team Champions, and Funk made a comment about him and Vader possibly taking the World Tag Titles from Fernandez and Gang. This week, Manny Fernandez is set to take on Big Van Vader in a singles match. Could this be leading to a match between the two sets of Tag Team Champions at Uprising? And to make matters more interesting, could we be seeing the unification of the LCW Tag Team Championships? Tune into Showdown to find out.

Last week, Sgt. Slaughter attacked Stan Hansen, in what some were calling a provoked attack, after Hansen attacked Slaughter at the LCW Torment pay-per-view last month. It has already been announced that Hansen and Slaughter will meet, as approved by the LCW Board of Directors, in a match at LCW Uprising this Sunday. What will Hansen have to say about Slaughter hitting him with the Slaughter Cannon last week, and will he have some retaliation?

Koko B. Ware has been on a mission to prove that he is a credible challenger to the LCW Television Champion Wildfire Tommy Rich, taking on whoever Missy Hyatt can throw at him. Making it worse for Ware, Hyatt has been refereeing the matches. Last week, Ware went through Hollywood John Tatum. This week, the final challenge sees Ware taking on Austin Idol, another member of Hyatt International with, yet again, Hyatt as special guest referee. The big question, however, doesn't concern Ware. The big question is, could we be seeing a rematch of LCW Torment at Uprising should Idol win this match?

The King of the Legends tournament is reaching its final sprint now, and last week, a no contest in a match between Macho Man Randy Savage and Bill Goldberg means that Diamond Dallas Page, the initiator of the tournament, gets a bye to the finals. Goldberg and Savage started their rivalry back at LCW Torment, when Savage returned to Legends Championship Wrestling and cost Goldberg the LCW Universal Championship. Those two will meet at LCW Uprising this Sunday! As for the King of the Legends Tournament, Dr. Death Steve Williams faces Abdullah the Butcher this week on Showdown, with the winner facing Page at LCW Uprising on Sunday. Who will come out on top and face Page this Sunday, in the finals of the tournament?

The Dynamite Kid is on a mission to find out who attacked him in the locker room two weeks ago on Showdown, and took his shot at the LCW Tag Team Championships away from him. His search will continue this week, but will he find the culprit?

Check out LCW Showdown this Wednesday, as the final stop to LCW Uprising takes center stage. With Legends Championship Wrestling, you can never tell who might show up!
