Northern Impact Wrestling held some wrestling matches at
Lonetti's Lounge as part of the Rice St. Festival in St. Paul, MN this last Saturday night. This was an outdoor free show and it was a hot day so I didn't take photos of every match.
In the second match of the card
Benjamin Sailer beat
Arik Cannon. These two did some great mat wrestling to start things off but then took there match to the streets. They battled through
Lonetti's Lounge first then they stopped traffic on Rice
Street. They even battled in front of a police officer in his squad car. As Cannon and
Sailer fought each other in the street and on coming cars would stop it reminded me of a scene in U2's Rattle and Hum. Good thing no arrest were made. The match made back to the ring where
Sailer rolled up Cannon with a La
Majistral cradle.
The Black Stallion pinned
Arya Daivari after a power slam. Through the whole match
Arya spoke only in his native
tongue. You can learn more about
Daivari by picking up the current issue of The Wrestler/Inside Wrestler where inside The Wrestler part of the mag there is an Introducing article on
Daivari. Both photos from the article were taken by me.
Pete Huge defeated
Ryan Cruz. This match, much like the Cannon/
Sailer match, went to the
streets and around the block.
Kamikaze Klecker and
Nate Bash battled for the beer belt which was is named 'start drinking at noon and get drunk at some bar on the East side of Saint Paul middle weight title'. I believe that this match and title were not sanctioned by
NIW. Nate Bash won this match and he retired the belt after the match because he needed the belt to keep his pants up. I want to point out that Ref
Rob Page wore shorts for this event.
