Results: OSCW - 7/13/08

OSCW - July 13, 2008 - Weekend's Pub, Goose Creek, SC

Starting the tag team tournament was Hans & Italian Ice vs. The Armed Forces (Tank Lewis & Solitude). Hans pushed Italian Ice into the hands of the Armed Forces who executed the win - which kept them in the tournament.

Match 2: Continuing the tournament: Brandon Paradise & Nick Kismet vs. Devon Wright & Tommy Kirkland. Brandon Paradise and Kismet won.

Match 3: 3 way for the IC Title: LIve Organ w/ Miss Harden vs. Darkness vs. the Champ Chris Mayne. Live Organ won making him the new IC Chamion.

Match 4 was the final Match in the Tournamet: Brandon Paradise & Nick Kismet vs. The Armed Forces. The Armed Forces won sending them in for the title shot later in the night.

Match 5: Heavy Weight Title Match: (Champ) Mack Truck w/ Reginald Vanderhoff vs. RuffHouse Matthews. RuffHouse Matthews won the match making him the new Heavyweight Champion.

During Intermission we had live music from Larry George.

Match 6: Universal Title Match Josh Magnum vs. Champ Sixx. At the end of this match John Malus ran in the ring knocking Sixx down - tempting Josh Magnum to take the pin - but Magnum refused - therefore there was no winner.

Match 7: SemiMain for the Tag Team Titles. Winners of the tournament The Armed Forces vs. Champions Rufio Rush & Bob Keller w/Vanderhoff. The Armed Forces took the titles.

Main Event: Malachi vs. Al Snow - and yes - to the most asked question prior to this event: He did bring Head. Al Snow took the victory over Malachi

Al left the ring after his victory - and moments after The Company took out thier frustration of loosing all the gold on the ref JW Kensington. Maybe not such a great idea since that ref is Solitude's little brother. Right before they were ready to rough him up - they were chased out by RoughHouse, Italian Ice and the Armed Forces. So to teach the Company a lesson the Commisioner set up a match for Aug 24 in which the entire Company (including Vanderhoff) must wrestle. Thier opponents will be RoughHouse, Italian Ice and the Armed Forces with Senior Ref JW Kensington. The stipulation is that if the Company wins that match they will be given a chance to win all the Gold at October's event Caged Carnage - BUT if they loose - Vanderhoff and his Company will be banned from OSCW. This sets up a very interesting match. Manager and Ref in the match? Will the company be gone from OSCW for good?

Make sure to mark you calendars for that next event which will be on Sunday, Aug 24 th. You won't want to miss it!!!!

Rumor has it that "Wildfire" Tommy Rich will be making another appearance at OSCW that night!!! Stay tuned!
