F1rst Wrestling Minneapolis, MN 1/9/2009

After a four months F1rst Wrestling returned to First Ave in downtown Minneapolis this past Friday night with a card titled 'Enter Sandman'. With a name like that it can mean only one thing, an appearance by former ECW champion Sandman.
In the first match of the card the New Generation defeated the Northstar Express. These two teams have had many matches in the past as they have fueded since 2004. After Aaron Corbin and Cody O'Neill hit the move in this photo O'Neill pinned Ryan Cruz.
Venom pinned Udo after a muscle buster like move.

Rob James challeneged 'any fat slob in the building'. Instead of some fat slob some skinny farmer guy answered James' challenge. SFG didn't stand much of a chance against James as James got the 3 count on him in just a few minutes.
After beating SFG Rob James called for another challenger. Kamikaze Klecker came out to accept that challenge. Klecker got the win over James after a moonsault.
Midwest Ground & Air defeated The Junk Squad. Right before this match Jaw Braker and Tiki Torture, two members of the Minnesota Roller Girls, came to the ring to promote there up coming event. The Junk Squad came to the ring and Pete Huge got on the mic and told the Roller Girls to get out of the ring. Nate Bash & Benjamin Sailer then came out to start the match. As Sailer and Chris Jordan fought out side the ring Huge hit Bash with a low blow. It looked like the Midwest Ground & Air MN undefeated streak would end on this night. Rollergirl Jaw Breaker got in the ring and gave Huge a low blow. Bash rolled Huge up and got the 3 count.
Arik Cannon pinned Jerry Lynn after a glimmering warlock.
Brody Hoofer defeated Thoruf Marius in another battle of the big men. Hoofer got a cut near his eye when the two butted heads early in the match.
In the main event Horace the Psycopath defeated Sandman. The match before this one had more blood.

F1rst Wrestling returns to the West St. Paul Armory on January 30th.

AWA RUSH Faribault, MN 8/17/2007

AWA RUSH returned to Spikes bar in Faribault, MN on this Saturday night.
The first match was a tag team match with the RUSH tag team champions The Junk Squad facing off against Hype Gotti & Babyface. This was my first time seeing Gotti and second time seeing Babyface. Pete Huge & Kleck Micheals won the match and retained their title.
Cooter came out to the ring and ripped on Gator Magraw. Long time partner/opponent Casanova didn't like what Cooter had to say so he challenged him to a match. Casanova was sporting a really nice mullet. And this was the last photo that my camera took that night as it broke. I think it had something to do with the mullet.

F1rst Wrestling Minneapolis, MN 4/22/2007

Pro Wrestling returned to First Ave night club in Minneapolis, MN this last Sunday night as F1rst Wrestling debuted in the building.

The card started out with a 4 corner match between The Prophet, Cody O'Neill, Nate Bash and Rob James. This match had some great cruiser weight action. In the end both O'Neill and James had pinned Bash and Prophet to win the match.

The second match of the night was Rain Vs Lacey. These two have wrestled against each other many times in the past and they have also teamed together to form the Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew. On this night Lacey got the win with a hand full of Rains tights.

101 Proof (Bret O'Brian & Venom) beat the I Guys(Marek Brave & Shane Hollister). This was the MN debut for the I Guys.

In his 3rd to last indy wrestling match before heading to the WWE Colt Cabana pinned Aaron Corbin after a frog splash. Lot's of comedy in this match.

What started out as a singles match turned in to a tag team title match for the 3XW tag team titles. Ryan Cruz started against Chris Jordan but Jordans Junk Squad partner Pete Huge got involved which brought out Cruz's Northstar Express partner Darin Corbin. NSE made the challenge for their 3XW belts and the Junk Squad accepted. Cruz got the pin on Huge after Jordan hit Huge with a top rope elbow drop. After the match Huge and Jordan got into an argument and seem to have parted ways.

Brody Hoofer beat Joey Envy. It's nice to see Hoofer drop the 'Big Daddy' name.

In the main event Arik Cannon beat Tyler Black. This was billed as 'MTV Wrestling Society X stars

NIW Amery, WI 3/11/2007

Northern Impact Wrestling returned to The Tac, formerly known as the Northstar Event Center.
In the opener of the night Tommy 'Spiderbaby' Saturday & Malikite beat Bobbi Mafi & Sean Slade. It's been a while since I've seen old Spiderbaby in the ring.
In a battle of brothers Venom w/ Rain beat Rob James. The event opened with a Spiders Web interview segment with the brothers. James brought up somethings from their past such as who got the Sega Geniss for xmas. Great stuff.
James Thomas beat Kid Krazy and Trent Jones in a three way dance. Kid Krazy hit his world of pain but Thomas took Krazy and tossed him out of the ring and go the pin on Jones. Smart move on the part of Thomas.
NIW Impact champion The Prophet retained hit title against Bret O'Brian in a hard fought match.
The Junk Squad beat Arik Cannon and the Northstar Express in a wild 6 man tag match.
