Steve Boz vs Willie "The Bomb" Richardson for the WCPW Heavyweight Championship from Battle of the Belts 13, continued from last week - I'm not doing play by play - filler shows deserve filler commentary. Boz has patently waited to make his comeback from this chinlock all week! They do a spot where Boz charges at Willie, but Willie tosses him in the air and Boz lands neck first on the ropes, except Boz landed short and it looked funny. That's like a crucifix slam, and almost out of control. Willie's mobile for a big guy but you can see him running low on gas by now. Willie brings two chairs in the ring (ref sees it, doesn't stop), unfolds them (ref sees it, complains about it, doesn't do anything about), stands on the chairs, brings Boz on top, and suplexes him off. Announcers sell it as the worse thing ever, but height wise, it's almost a bottom rope superplex. Willie fools around on the chairs some more so Boz sneaks in a low blow and seem totally unhurt. The best part was seeing the ref flinch from the move and not call a DQ. Springboard spin kick looked not good at all from the camera angle. Now that they're done using them for spots, the referee removes the chairs. Boz is going up to the top ring. I wonder if this will work this time. Richardson is dead in the ring - oh, no he's getting up, top rope top ring cross body hits but of course it can't get three. Boz tries a top rope legdrop (why'd he think that'd get the pin if the last one didn't?) but Willie sits up. Willie loads the boot - that's not quite a superkick, so he tries it again. Pumphandle takes some effort and really doesn't add more than a normal back suplex so why do it. Willie looks really tired now. He takes so long climbing to the top rope and then to the top ring, Boz rolls out of the ring and goes up to the top ring on the other side. Willie has to look at the ref randomly, because he's not supposed to notice Boz is right in front of him. There's the Stunner off the top apron to the bottom ring. And here's all we saw before - Riot pulls out the ref, Willie hits Boz with four chair shots but that's not enough, Willie chokes the ref in the corner, then gets rolled up for a super fast three count. That might have been a one second count. (12:48 shown) Boz gets beat up but clears the ring blah blah blah

WCPW League Champion Terry Allen is working out, Ritchard T. Sin annoys him and talks about bringing in RVD to beat him and talks and Allen wins fans by beating him up.

Terry Allen is working out again (still?) and cuts a promo that's not that worth recording here.

Terry Allen vs Rob Van Dam (w/Ritchard T. Sin) for the WCPW League Championship in the Super Main Event - That's what THEY said. If it was MY fed, Allen would come out second, no matter who that other guy is. They have a live band playing the entrance music that I didn't even notice till last match. Terry Allen has some chick with him, but no one seems to mention her so whatever. There seem to be a decent amount of people who came just to see one person here. Did he get lost finding his way to the entrance? Took him long enough. You know, I really really don't miss this old stalling and posing RVD. Sin is doing his Fonzie impersonation, I guess. RVD has to go pose with EVERY SINGLE RING SIDE FAN. I have to go back and time this. His music plays for a good three minutes before he gets in the ring, even. I'm glad he doesn't kick to his name anymore either. Oh, there's a Van Daminator (he doesn't do that much anymore! stupid stuff gone!) for Sin because he's a face, I guess. Ritchard rolls out of the ring and complains, then does commentary and complains but weirdly gets over it and starts putting over RVD more than his broadcast partner. Oh, his broadcast partner is Big Time, who's not around anymore. Maybe now would be the good time to start the story? Because they're not starting the match yet. Sometime this week? From RVD's music start, 5:23 to the bell. Anyway, WCPW figures it's best chance to get people to come to their shows, as opposed to just anyone's, is to require all of it's wrestlers to only wrestle for WCPW and no other Chicago-area promotion and people who wrestle elsewhere can't wrestle from WCPW. It's probably a good business policy for them, but not so well for the wrestlers (can't imagine there are enough dates to get paid, and that often leads to people leaving), but that's the way it was. So, during a WCPW taping, a non-WCPW wrestler shows up and start making noise - the typical stuff you'd kinda expect for an Invasion type deal. Here's your match update - 1:15 to the first lockup. WCPW management deny that they're doing an Invasion angle, and cite that policy. Guess what? It's a work, and the WCPW people lied to their own workers for no real reason. I'd assume others got annoyed, but I guess Big Time (who seemed to be all over the place - maybe he was helping with the creative? and left out of the work?) decided he'd rather go home than deal with this any more, and the manager who the strongest presence of anyone on the TV (because he was on every single show) is gone. That is indy wrestling. Wow, that was the loosiest monkey flip ever. You didn't think it was possible to have a loose monkey flip, but that sure was it. Stop posing RVD. The greatest thing about this match - besides the fact that I know there's no way they'll finish it this week - is that I can appreciate RVD for getting rid of all the stupid he was doing (because he could) by the end of ECW. Limits are good things, sometimes. Announcers are getting annoyed by an ECW chant, by the way. I think they guy who just got an RVD five will never was his hands again. Stall stall stall. I think RVD's having a little bit of trouble because the ring isn't as big as he'd like. RVD's doing some heel stuff in the ring, which is weird because the fans are treating him as face and that whole bit to make sure he was a face. Oh, that's it for this week. (8:03)
