Promotion: Downtown Championship Wrestling
Time/date: 8 p.m. Wednesday August 13, 2003
City, State: Minneapolis, MN
Venue: First Ave night club
For this Flash Back Friday we jump back to a time when First Ave events were on Wednesday nights and mostly free. I'm not sure who won or lost in these matches I didn't take notes or make sure that I photographed the ref raising the winners hand.
El Viejo VS
John Johnson.
James "Moose" Thomas was the jeans wearing ref for this match. Not sure if Thomas had started wrestling before this or if he was still training. When he started wrestling it was under the name Tommy Gunn.
"The Genuine Article"
Chris Jordan defeated
Christian Moore. This was Moore's first pro match after training with Terry Fox and Eddie Sharkey. Others that trained that summer with Moore were DOS, Josie, Rob Page and Big Mac. Moore wrote about this match in chapter 9 of his autobiography "Being Moore: my life in professional wrestling". This same photo can be seen in that book. The most interesting thing about this photo is Jordan's gear.
Mitch Paradise VS
Dan Jesser.
DCW womans champion
Josie defeated
Rain.
Terry Fox was the referee.
"Playboy"
Pete Huge VS
Kaos,AKA Cody O'Neill. Looks like Huge was wearing shorts but still not showing any part of his legs.
Big Daddy Hoofer, AKA Brody Hoofer VS Detroit Slim.
DCW champion Black Stallion defeated Lenny Lane.
