ECHO Pro St. Cloud, MN 3/19/2010

After almost one year ECHO Pro Wrestling held it's 4th event this past Friday night. This one was at the St. Cloud National Guard Armory, the same location as the first ECHO Pro event. The big names advertised for the card were The Honky Tonk Man and Road Dogg.
In the opening contest "Every one's Favorite" Nate Bash defeated Lenny Lane by pin fall. Lane had two of his trainees with him at ring side. The two trainees fought over who got to hand Lane the brass knuckles. That gave Bash time to recover and get the 3 count on Lane. After the match Lane had his two trainees kiss his boots.

The Honky Tonk Man defeated Arya Daivari after the old 'shake rattle n roll'. HTM used the guitar after the match but he did not smash it over Daivari's head.

Horace the Psychopath pinned Arik Cannon in the third match of the night. This match was a hard core match as there were garbage cans and plungers used. Cannon's face was a bloody mess.

Brody Hoofer got the win over "Road Dogg" Jesse James. I think Hoofer may have used a foreign object but I didn't see it so I can't say for sure. At the last ECHO Pro event Hoofer lost to Jame's former partner Kip James.

"Playboy" Pete Huge beat Kamikaze Klecker and Rob James w/Scarlett Bordeaux in a #1 contender hard core triple threat match. The end came when James was pushed from the ring onto a table and Klecker was suplexed from the top rope on to a bunch of thumb tacks by Huge. Both James and Klecker were bloody, mostly from a cheese grater.

In his first defense as ECHO Pro champion Darin Corbin w/ Nikki Mayday was able to pick his opponent. His choice was his Northstar Express tag team partner Ryan Cruz. After a fast paced start to the match Corbin asked Cruz to slow it down. So they wrestled in slow motion for about a minute. Corbin got the win to retain the belt but the partners were attacked after the match buy Pete Huge, Rob James and Arya Daivari.

ECHO Pro Sartell, MN 5/30/2009

For the second night in a row ECHO Pro wrestling held an event at the Bernick arena in Sartell, MN. The roster for both nights were mostly the same with just a few changes.
In the opening contest "6% Bodyfat" Rob James challenged any fat slob to a match. Venom came out for that challenge and defeated James.

TNA wrestler AJ Styles was scheduled to be in the main event against Shannon Moore who was unable to attend. Unfortuantly Styles was unable to wrestle as well because of an injury that took place at a TNA tv taping earlier in the week. Styles came out to tell the crowd that he could not wrestle. Brody Hoofer came out to complain about not getting the chance to beat Styles in the main event on this night. Styles told Hoofer and the fans that he brought a replacement from TNA for his match.

Kamekazi Klecker defeated Josh Calisto when the match was stopped due to Calisto not being able to continue after he hit his head on the concreat floor from the move in the photo to the left. 911 was called and an ambalance was set for Calisto. Later in the night Calisto returned from the hospital and appeared to be ok.

M-Dogg Matt Cross & O.D.B. defeated "Playboy" Pete Huge & Allison Wonderland and Joey Envy & Ann Brookstone in a 3 tag team match.

Arik Cannon defeated Horace the Psychopath in a Sartell street fight that never made it into the streets of Sartell. Cannon got the pin on Horace after a senton from the ring apron on to a table. Both men were a bloody mess after this match.

The Northstar Express defeated Faith in Nothing and Midwest Ground & Air in a 3 tag team match. ECHO Pro champion Darin Corbin pinned Christian Faith. Not sure if this means that Midwest Ground & Airs Minnesota win streak is over or not seeing as how they didn't get pinned in this match.

Billy Gunn (He came out to his old WWE DX music) defeated Big Brody Hoofer in the main event. The appearance of Gunn was a real surprise to the crowd and they got really loud when he came out. With the DX music playing the fans didn't really know who was coming out as it could have been one of 2 men from TNA. But I think that the word most have gotten out to one fan in the front row who was wearing a Billy & Chuck t-shirt. Really, who owns one of those shirts yet alone wears one to a wrestling show?

ECHO Pro Sartell, MN 5/29/2009

ECHO Pro Wrestling held it's second ever card this past Friday night. The event took place at the Bernick arena in Sartell, MN. Once again the advertised Shannon Moore was unable to attend, this time because of family matter. Moore was replaced on this night by former TNA wrestler Petey Williams.
Arya & Shawn (TNA's Abdul Bashir) Daivari defeated Faith in Nothing. This was my first time ever seeing Faith in Nothing, a team from Ohio.

Cpl. Julio Julio defeated "The Law" Mark Barker and Josh Colisto in a triple threat match when he made Colisto tap out.

M Dogg 20 Matt Cross & O.D.B. defeated Black Stallion & Ann Brookstone in an inter gender tag team match. Cross pinned Stallion after a shooting star press.

Petey Williams defeated Arik Cannon. One of the most awesome sites at this event (not counting the fans bring the weapons match) was when Williams was out side the ring doing some push ups. There was a group of about 8 young boys who were cheering Williams on. When he started doing the push ups a bunch of the kids got down and did push ups along with him. This match recieved a "this is awesome" chant from part of the crowd.

Darin Corbin defeated "Playboy" Pete Huge to become the first ECHO Pro champion. Corbin had some help in his corner in the form of Nikki Mayday as he knew that Huge would have Allison Wonderland in his corner.

In the main event Kamekazi Klecker won a 5 man fans bring the weapons elimination match. Horace was the first wrestler eliminated followed by Rob James, Ryan Cruz and then Joey Envy. Klecker pinned Evny after his Kleck Klash on to 4 light tubes.

ECHO Pro St. Cloud, MN 1/16/2009

There is a new promotion in Minnesota called ECHO Pro and they held their first event this past Friday night at the St. Cloud National Guard Armory. Former WCW/WWE wrestler Shannon Moore was the advertised headline but he was mixed up on which night his match with Pete Huge was so he did not make it for the premier of ECHO Pro. Near the wrestlers entrance there was a large screen set up with a projector. The projector was hooked up to the ring side camera. I think the screen and projector would have been better used if they had some pre recorded promos/interviews to play on the screen so the fans could get to know the wrestlers.

Ann Brookstone & Brody Hoofer defeated Allison Wonderland & Pete Huge in the opening contest. As mentioned above Huge was scheduled to face Shannon Moore in the main event for the ECHO Pro championship. With Moore not there ECHO Pro owner John Black put Huge in a mixed tag match with his valet Wonderland.
Tag team partners wrestled against each other on this card as Nate Bash defeated Benjamin Sailer in this exhibition match. The match went to a 10 minute time limit draw but the fans demanded 5 more minutes. Bash got the win with a roll up.
"Lightning" Toryn Cross and Josh Calisto ended their match with a double count out. Cross used to wrestle under the name Red Lightning.
"The Anarchist" Arik Cannon defeated "Genuine Article" Chris Jordan. Connon got the pin after an exploder suplex and then a glimmering warlock.
Joey Envy defeated Kamikaze Klecker, "6% Body Fat" Rob James and Ryan Cruz in a 4 way falls count anywhere elemination match. Cruz was eliminated first by James. Then Envy eliminated James with a super kick. Being that it was a falls count anywhere in the city of St. Cloud the final two wresters decided to take the match out side. The tempeture on this night was 4 above 0 and there was snow on the ground. After another super kick Envy got the 3 count on Klecker in the snow. Ref Rob Page borrowed a jacket when he went outside. The wrestler should have done the same.
In the main event Darin Corbin defeated Lenny Lane. Ref Rob Page was knocked down when Lane brougth a chair in to the ring.When Page got up Lane was on the mat and Corbin was holding the chair so Page disqualified Corbin. Black came out and informed let Page know that Corbin did not use the chair so Page restarted the match. Corbin then got the pin after a lungblower.
