12/27/09 -Results from Twisted Christmas
AAW "Twisted X-Mas 09" is in the books and what a night it was. Another great crowd braved the elements and witnessed the below results.
* Jim Lynam welcomed the fans and thanked them for coming out in the weather. He announced that unfortunately Davey Richards could not make the show but he had signed Richards vs Super Crazy for Friday night 1/22 at AAW "Chaos Theory". He said more stars from Dragon Gate USA would be added and some big matches would be announced later in the night.
- Jay Bradley w/ Dave Prazak d. Shiima Xion, Knight Wagner, and Krotch in a four way match
The three smaller men teamed up early and often to take down Bradley in this exciting opener but in the end the former AAW Heavyweight Champion hit his big lariat on Xion for the pin.
* Promo backstage from Josh Raymond and Christian Able; The House of Truth. They said Truth Martini took the night off for the holiday but they were about to give him his present. They saw Dash Phoenix getting his gear out of his car and jumped him in the parking lot. Able press slammed Phoenix into the wall of the Eagles Club and left him in the snow. He then looked in the camera and said "Remember kids.... Santa isn't real but The House of Truth is."
- Faith in Nothing and Zero Gravity fought to a no contest when Silas Young and Irish Airborne hit the ring and attacked both teams.
Faith in Nothing controlled much of the match with their size and strength advantage. Zero Gravity made a comeback and just as Brett Gakiya hit a sick looking reverse rana on the the big man Christian Faith, the AAW Champion and Irish Airborne hit the ring and attacked all four men spike pile driving CJ Esparza. Young got the mic and insulted the fans as well as their opponents in the main event.
* Promo from a determined Jimmy Jacobs who was backstage with Tyler Black and Shane Hollister. Jacobs said it had been over a year since he had teamed with Tyler Black but this was a desperate time. He warned Silas and Irish Airborne that his team was looking for revenge later tonight.
- Tweek Phoenix d. "The Chan Clan" (Jordan Mcentyre/Johnny Wisdom w/ Chandler McClure) in a handicap match
Since his brother was taken out earlier by House of Truth, Tweek went it alone and defeated McClure's men after a brainbuster on Mcentyre.
* Promo from AAW Heritage Champion Colt Cabana who said he was proud of his Heritage and was renaming the belt the Jewish Heritage Title. He said he was ready for Arik Cannon in their rematch.
- House of Truth (Josh Raymond Christian Able) w/ Val Malone d. AeroForm (Flip Kendrick/Louis Lyndon) to retain the AAW Tag Team Titles
A competitive match with alot of innovative offense but in the end the HOT capped off a dominate 2009 with the Tower of Truth on Louis Lyndon. Tweek Phoenix tried to storm the ring but was held back by officials and security.
* Dragon Gate USA promo for their return to the Congress Theater on 1/23
- Mason Beck d. Dan Lawrence after interference by the House of Truth
A very exciting match here as Lawrence took the fight to the much larger Beck. Lawrence was about to hit the House of Truth enforcer with a steel chair when Raymond and Able came out and distracted the ref allowing Beck to hit a powerbomb for the win. Post match HOT were looking for a three on one beat down of Lawrence when Tweek Phoenix made the save and cleared the ring. He challenged HOT to a six man at Chaos Theory.
* A young lady in a santa outfit came out to pass out free DVD's and T-shirts to the crowd. Danny Daniels came out and confronted her saying he was told there was no room for him on the last show of the year yet there was time for her to come out and waste time. Daniels took out his frustration on this young lady and hit her with a piledriver. Jim Lynam came out from the back and exchanged words with Daniels as the girl was helped to the back.
- Colt Cabana d. Arik Cannon to retain the AAW Heritage Title
A rematch from the Windy City Classic and although Cannon had much more offense in this match Cabana once again used his towel (this time tying up the legs of the former champ) to get the win. Cannon was beside himself after the bout.
* Promo from outside the Eagles Club earlier in the day by Keith Walker. He said he was ecstatic his contract called for him to not have to wrestle in Berwyn as the fans did not deserve to see an athlete of his caliber. He said he would be in Davenport to take out Tyelr Black so the Berwyn fans would never be able to cheer him again.
-Jimmy Jacobs/Tyler Black/Shane Hollister d. Silas Young and Irish Airborne in a six man grudge match
An emotional and hard fought battle here that had the crowd in a frenzy. Too much action to recap here. The end of the match saw Jacobs hit Silas with the Contra Code and pin the Heavyweight Champion as the crowd erupted. The show ended with Jacobs, Black and Hollister all celebrating their win but each claiming they wanted the AAW Heavyweight Title.
*** BREAKING NEWS********
Backstage after the match Jim Lynam declared that since Jacobs pinned Silas Young he will receive an AAW Heavyweight Title Match on 1/22 at "Chaos Theory".

House of Truth vs AeroForm
Colt Cabana defends the AAW Heritage Title
11/28/09 - Pat Creed is back with Jim Lynam as they preview the Windy City Classic V in our latest AAW Podcast.
11/27/09 - Exclusive footage of the Phoenix Twins and House of Truth from Davenport, IA on 11/20/09.
11/23/09 - Results from Davenport, IA courtesy of Pro Wrestling Ponderings
A nearly full house was in attendance in Davenport, IA for AAW’s War is Coming. The night began with House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able) coming to the ring. It looks as if the AAW Tag Team titles are going to be defended right off the bat! Able gets on the microphone and announces who the House of Truth is to the unfamiliar Quad Cities crowd, hyping the team up and quickly getting the fans riled up.
Christian Able talked about taking the titles from the Phoenix Twins (Tweak and Dash Phoenix) six months ago and provoked the Twins to come out and request a title shot. House of Truth insists that since they are the champions, they call the shots and the Twins will have to wait a week for their chance at the titles in Berwyn, IL. With their backs to the entrance, the Twins don’t see the Hybrids (Jason Lyte and Donovan Cain) come to the ring to attack from behind. House of Truth heads back to the locker room, and our opening match is set to begin.
The Hybrids had the advantage through a good portion of this opening contest thanks to the sneak attack to start it off. They use classic heel tactics, cutting off the ring and double teaming until a vicious tornado DDT allows for the fresh Phoenix to enter the ring. From here on out the match gets frantic, with the Twins basically taking over, though Lyte and Cain did try to get something going one last time. In the end, a double superkick from the Phoenix Twins would be the end of it, giving them the win.
Winner: The Phoenix Twins
This was a good way to open the show. It set the pace and teased not only the Tag Team Championship match to come later in the night, but next week’s match up between the House of Truth and the Phoenix Twins.
The next contest featured Johnny Wisdom taking on the mammoth “Human Massacre” Keith Walker. This match marks Walker’s return to the Quad Cities with AAW. This match is blatantly one-sided as “The Human Massacre” lives up to his name, completely decimating Johnny Wisdom.
Winner: “The Human Massacre” Keith Walker
This was a good squash match building up to the bigger match later. After completely destroying Johnny Wisdom, Walker grabs a microphone and demands to face one of AAW’s top dogs, Tyler Black. Mark Storm gets on the mic and informs Walker that Black has not arrived in the building, but we’ll see what happens when Tyler does arrive. “The Human Massacre” then proclaims that he will be out after every match until the Ring of Honor star arrives.
The next match features Knight Wagner squaring off against Matt Mayday. These familiar foes start off in a collar and elbow tie up that leads into a series of various arm wrenches, all the while the crowd taunting Wagner with “X-Pac” and “X-Pac Wannabe” chants. Both men show some strong, fast-paced offence until Knight ducks out of the ring. The ref blocks Mayday from following him out until Matt hits a baseball slide dropkick and the action moves outside the ring. Wagner used the apron to his advantage, slamming Matt Mayday’s head against it, but the fan favorite fights his way back, eventually leaping off the same apron landing in a seated position on Knight’s chest. They move back in the ring where Knight makes a come back of his own. They fight their way onto the second turnbuckle and exchange blows until Mayday is able to hit a flipping powerbomb off the ropes and into a pin, but Johnny Wisdom returns to the ring to break up the ref’s count. Wisdom’s interference is short-lived, however, as shortly after, Matt is able to latch on and hit a tornado stunner for the win.
Winner: Matt Mayday
After the match, Keith Walker makes good on his promise and takes out everyone in sight. The fans erupt shortly after as hometown favorite Tyler Black comes out and saved Matt Mayday from Walker’s wrath. Black accepts the challenge issued by “The Human Massacre” and that match is set to happen a little later on.
The last match before intermission featured Zero Gravity (CJ Esparza and Brett Gakiya) against the AAW Tag Team Champions, The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able). Gakiya and Raymond start the match out, taking turns in a battle of one-upmanship and trying to stir a reaction from the crowd. While new to the Quad Cities crowd, the House of Truth still made quite the impression on the Davenport fans earlier in the night and it was clear they were behind Zero Gravity all the way. Things are fairly fast paced early on, going back and forth until both partners are tagged in. Esparza gains control early, but tags in Gakiya and the House of Truth takes over, dominating Zero G and effectively cutting off the ring through much of the match. When CJ finally gets tagged back in, he shows off his high-flying prowess, using speed and agility to his advantage until Raymond is able to hook a leg outside the ring, tripping up CJ Esparza. Now it’s his turn to get cut off from his partner. The crowd is desperate to rally Zero G a few times, but to no avail. Everyone pops and gives some respect to the House of Truth when Raymond lionsaults onto Gakiya, who is being held by Christian Able. Both teams work to hit some heavy offence as well as pick the pace up even more. Both members of the House of Truth, along with Brett Gakiya end up outside of the ring. HoT attempts to double team Gakiya, leaving all three prone to CJ Esparza flipping over the top rope onto them. This puts Esparza down and out. The House of Truth are the first to recover, bringing Gakiya back in the ring to finish him off and retain the AAW Tag Team Championships in an incredibly hard fought battle.
Winners: The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able)
This match gets my top rating. It, by far, surpassed everything else during the night. This was my first time seeing House of Truth in action. I knew what kind of match to expect from Zero Gravity, having seen them a few times at SCW/PWN shows. This match definitely blew me away. On a side note, when Josh Raymond did his lionsault onto Gakiya and everyone in the crowd gave a huge, respectful pop, my daughter leaned over to me and said “but they’re the bad guys.” Ah, to be young and innocent.
Following the match, the Phoenix Twins reappeared in the ring, attacking Raymond and Able. Several officials storm the ring to break things up, HoT leaving the ring and leaving the Twins in possession of the Tag Team Championship Belts. The crowd is hot for the Twins to keep the belts, but Mark Storm intervenes again and the Twins return the titles, saying they’ll be the owners of them soon enough as the two teams are set to square off next weekend at Windy City Classic V.
Following intermission, Nick Brubaker and Juice Robinson make their way to the ring to do battle. I’ve seen both of these guys in action, but it’s been several months. I was a bit surprised when Robinson came out, because when I last saw him in action, he still had his long, blond afro-style hair. But, that has nothing to do with the match. Juice is quick to dominate Brubaker, taking things outside of the ring for a few moments. When they slide back into the ring, Robinson gets Brubaker into a position to attempt a senton, but connects only with Nick’s knees. These two are evenly matched from here on out, with the crowd solidly behind Juice Robinson. Brubaker gets the best of Robinson, however, rolling him up and grabbing a fist full of tights for a cheap victory.
Winner: Nick Brubaker
This was another well put together match, though the ending was a bit of a disappointment for me. I would have liked to see Robinson get over, especially with the crowd on his side, quite a different experience from the last time I saw him in action. However, both men did a great job, and the match served its purpose, getting Brubaker over as the heel he is.
When Keith Walker first entered the arena, he seemed to have the crowd behind him. Now things have changed. It’s clear the fans in attendance are behind the man from Davenport, IA, Tyler Black. Things start off with Walker swinging his trademark chain around. Black and the official convince Walker to put the chain away, but both turn their back on the behemoth and the “Human Massacre” quickly takes advantage, choking Tyler with his chain. Eventually the ref gets the chain away from Walker and puts it out of the equation, however the early damage has already been done.
The two men battle outside the ring where Black manages to use positioning to his advantage, ducking and dodging attacks from Walker that cause various body parts to strike solidly against the ring posts. Black slides into the ring and leaps onto the “Human Massacre,” but Walker is quick to recover, sending the Ring of Honor star into a row of empty chairs. Keith Walker uses his power and strength to keep Black grounded for most of the match, barely giving Tyler room to breath, let alone any offence. When Black starts to make a comeback, it takes some high flying offence to get Walker staggered in the corner. Tyler stomps and jumps in the corner, preparing himself for his big, charging splash, but Walker recovers and steamrolls Black in the corner as soon as he turns around. The “Human Massacre” is having trouble putting Black away and his frustration shows. The two men battle their way onto the 2nd turnbuckle where they exchange blows until Black pushes Walker off directly onto the referee. Black sets up for a flying elbow but Walker rolls out of the way and Tyler collides with the ref instead, take him out. “The Human Massacre” grabs a chair, but a second ref comes in to stop him from using it. He gets knocked out by Walker for his troubles. A third ref comes in to ring the bell while several people rush into try and get the chair from Keith Walker. In the end, Black sends a kick into the chair, hitting it against Walker’s face.
Results: No Contest
This is a great build up for what is sure to be a lasting rivalry. This match had some strong moments and shows the resilience of Tyler Black. Whether the Ring of Honor star can win against a behemoth like Keith Walker is yet to be seen, but these two have potential to blow the roof off of things.
The Main Event didn’t even get fully out of the locker room before it started. Danny Daniels makes his way to the ring and is quickly blindsided by Marek Brave. The fight does not even enter the ring for the first 5-10 minutes as Brave and Daniels clear the seats battling around the ring. The crowd is on their feet following the action and trying to stay out of the way as these two dangerous men take turns driving each other into the concrete floor, the wall, the steel chairs around the ring, everything possible. And what better place for this Quad Cities Street Fight to go then out onto the streets. Brave and Daniels battle in the parking lot of the venue for several minutes, using anything to their advantage. When they finally get back inside, they make their way into the ring and Daniels is in complete control, but Marek hits a big time spear that grounds both of them. Brave recovers first and sets Daniels up for a superplex before dropping out of the ring to get some wood. Marek sets the table up in the corner looking to do some damage to Danny Daniels, but Nick Brubaker returns to ringside to interfere on Danny’s behalf. Marek manages to fight them both off at first, hitting Daniels with a piledriver, but can’t get the three count. The two men continue back and forth with the crowd hungry to see the table used. Daniels brings a chair into the ring, but Brave is up in time to stop him from using it. They struggle over control of the chair with Marek coming away with it, but when he swings for Daniels, DD ducks, causing Brave to take out the ref. Daniel’s gets control of the match at this point, using the chair to hit a piledriver for the win.
Winner: Danny Daniels
Both men put on a great show here and fought hard. They gave the crowd almost everything they wanted during the match, fighting in the crowd, in the ring, in the parking lot. After the match, Marek recovers while Danny is celebrating. Daniels turns around and gets another massive spear through the table still set up in the corner. The crowd is ecstatic as the table gets used to close the show.
I have to say this was a very good show. Getting to see many wrestlers I was familiar with from my days with PWN as well as a few new talents made the night worth while. The match between House of Truth and Zero Gravity blew the roof off the place with fans showing respect for both teams as they went the distance. I’m hoping to make it out to Berwyn next week for the Windy City Classic V, but if I don’t make it there, AAW returns to the Quad Cities on January 15th, 2010.

Fans in the Quad Cities please check your local listings for channel as the show airs Friday nights at 7:30pm.
- Staying with some Quad Cities news it was announced last week that former AAW Heavyweight Champion "The Human Massacre" Keith Walker will make his Quad Cities debut on 11/20 at "War is Coming". Rumor has it that Walker has worked out a new deal with AAW that was negotiated by Jim Lynam personally and calls for Walker to only work dates in the Quad Cities. Apparently Walker insisted on this stipulation as he feels the fans in Berwyn do not deserve to see him perform. Walker is coming off a very successful tour of Japan with Pro Wrestling NOAH that saw him tag with the legendary Jushin "Thunder" Liger and also a one on one title match against Kenta Kobashi.
- Danny Daniels and Marek Brave continue their blood feud in Iowa on 11/20 as they once again meet in a Street Fight match. The last time these two men met in a match where anything goes it was Daniels that got the victory and banished Marek from Berwyn. The rivalry has spilled over into the Quad Cities and will be settled once and for all at "War is Coming" in what promises to be a wild encounter.
- 1st Round matches for the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup in Florida will be announced this week at www.jpc2009.com . There will be some familiar talent in the tournament with Team AAW (Silas Young, Shane Holister, Johnny Gargano, Arik Cannon) as well as former AAW Heavyweight Champion Egotistcio Fantastico representing CZW, Flip Kendrick/Louis Lyndon for Team Hybrid and Davey Richards for FIP. Best of luck to Team AAW in this high profile tournament.
- Speaking of Davey Richards, we can confirm he has signed on to the AAW roster and will be making his return to Berwyn in the near future. Look for an official announcement soon as AAW welcomes one of the top talents in world today.
- Now on to some Windy City Classic V news. This years event in Berwyn on 11/28 will now be a Triple Main Event with three title matches!
-AAW Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Jacobs may be facing the biggest challenge of any champion to date as he takes on the winner of #1 contender Tyler Black vs #2 contender Jay Bradley. He will also face the survivors of the Team Daniels vs Team Holister which means he could be defending the title against up to 6 challengers! Jacobs has never been one to back away from a challenge but the odds may be against him here. Already announced on Team Daniels is the returning Trik Davis and House of Truth enforcer Mason Beck. Silas Young and Dan Lawrence have joined Team Holister. Look for more additions this week.
- As reported last week Arik Cannon is now the longest reigning champion in AAW history as he has held the Heritage Title for over 15 months. As announced last week he will defend the title at the Windy City Classic against none other than Colt Cabana in the second part of a triple Main Event. Cabana has signed on to the roster and may be the biggest threat to Cannon's title reign to date. Will Colt be the man to finally dethrone Arik Cannon?
- An AAW Tag Team Title match rounds out the Triple Main Event as the House of Truth takes on #1 contenders and former Champions the Phoenix Twins. Last month we heard Truth Martini trying to plant the seed of doubt in Tweek and Dash saying they did not trust each other. There may be some more to this story as some in the lockeroom are saying the Twins (who always travel together) have been arriving to shows separately and not speaking to each other in the lockeroom. This is all speculation at this point and the Twins were not available for comment but they need to get on the same page as they face the most dominant team in recent memory in Josh Raymond and Christian Able.
- Staying in the Tag Team division the Windy City Classic V will feature all the top teams who have competed in AAW this year. Already signed to appear are The Irish Airborne, Faith in Nothing, The Northstar Express, Flip Kendrick/Louis Lyndon, Zero Gravity and Knight Wagner/Jordan Mcentyre. Tag Team wrestling has always been one of the key elements to AAW and it will be showcased at the biggest event of the year.
- Shiima Xion has gained quite a following in AAW. He is on his way back to Mexico this month but we can confirm he will be back in AAW early next year.
- Now for some Dragon Gate USA news. AAW star Johnny Gargano will not be at the Windy City Classic as he will be competing in Philly for the "Open the Freedom Gate" Championship on 11/28. He will have to defeat Jigsaw, Gran Akuma, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson, and Lince Dorado to enter the finals later that night. All competitors in this match have competed in AAW. Davey Richards is also in the tournament and is one of the favorites to win Dragon Gate USA's top prize.
- Finally this week we can confirm another AAW/DGUSA double shot weekend on Friday 1/22 at the Berwyn Eagles Club and Saturday 1/23 at the Congress Theatre. Mark your calendars now as the eyes of the entire wrestling world will once again be on Chicago for a huge weekend.

- Tyler Black has had a successful comeback from neck surgery defeating Silas Young at "Massacre on 26th St" in a hard fought battle. Some fans were shocked when Silas went to shake Tyler's hand after the contest only to be slapped in the face as a "receipt" for what Silas did to American Dragon at "Us vs Them". Tyler and Silas had another altercation in Davenport one week later but before they could come to blows Black was jumped from behind by Davey Richards as Silas turned and left the ring. Black would go on to defeat Richards in the main event and rumor has it we will be seeing more of Davey in AAW in the coming months.
- Next up for Silas is the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup in Florida on 10/20 and 10/21. Team AAW will also consist of Arik Cannon, Shane Holister and Johnny Gargano as they take on the best FIP, CZW and Hybrid Pro have to offer. Silas Young is said to be taking this tournament very seriously and sees it as an opportunity to finally win the big one and thrust himself into the national spotlight. Best of luck to Team AAW in Florida.
- The new AAW rankings have been updated at www.AAWrestling.com and former champions Tyler Black and Jay Bradley end up at the #1 and #2 contender spots respectively.

Also of note Silas Young slides to #6 and new to the top ten this month are Colt Cabana and Davey Richards.
- A Traditional Thanksgiving Elimination match has been signed for the Windy City Classic as Danny Daniels team will take on Shane Holister's team with big stakes on the line. Whoever is left standing at the end of the contest will also go on to the Main Event for a shot at the Heavyweight Title.

Both Holister and Daniels are hard at work putting together their teams and look for more announcements in the coming days.
- The House of Truth continue their dominance in the Tag Team division as they once again successfully defended the AAW Tag Team Titles against Faith in Nothing at "Massacre on 26th St". Next up for Raymond and Able at the Windy City Classic are former champions The Phoenix Twins who have fought their way back to the #1 contender spot. Turth Martini has already started the psychological warfare trying to test the Twins trust in each other but the Twins claim they are on the same page and are looking to make it two for two in title matches at the WCC V.
- Arik Cannon made history over the weekend when he became the longest reigning Champion in AAW history as his Heritage title reign hit 420 days surpassing Jerry Lynn's AAW Heavyweight Title reign of 419 days.
