(Upbeat music)
- [Narrator] The following
is a presentation of
the United Wrestling Network.
- Welcome to
Championship Wrestling
presented by West
Coast Pro Wrestling.
I am Bimbo Jimbo Kincaid
coming to you once again
out of my home here in
San Francisco, California,
the Casa de Bimbo.
And I am here to take you back
into the archives of
Championship Wrestling.
And on today's program we have
Heather Monroe and Lacey Ryan
in a two out of
three falls match.
And the Hollywood
Heritage champion, Watts,
will be in action
against Ricky Starks.
All that and more.
This is Championship
Wrestling so sit back,
relax, and enjoy.
- [Todd] Kicking things off the
United Tag Team
Championships on the line.
What a Golden opportunity
for this tough young team.
Wasted Youth Adriel
Noctis uh huge opportunity
under the bright
lights of Milestone.
- [Andrew] And bright
lights can be tarnished too
by these yellow
stains on society.
Keneley absolutely generous
were looking at right now.
Get them out of the
ring it's disgusting.
(Soft Asian music)
- [Todd] And here
come the champions.
The Soul Burners
Taylor and Thomaste.
What a title reign
they have had.
A unique match up here not
the match up we thought.
A lot has happened on
the road to Milestone.
Double Platinum couldn't
come to terms with
their contract with Jamie
Iovine and the upper class
and uh Ferman was quite
frankly booted off
the card thanks to
some of the actions.
- [Andrew] Oh
yeah, this is great
this is a fantastic replacement.
Let's go ahead and
get a great match and
fill it with a bunch of
shows with degenerates.
This is insane!
Where's Ferman!
Where's Ferman!
- [Todd] I for one love
seeing Johnny Yuma get
popped and dropped.
My age request in
a recent interview.
- [Andrew] I for one don't
care what you love seeing.
(Soft Asian music)
- [Todd] Regardless United
Tag Team Titles on the line
huge opportunity
for Wasted Youth.
It's the battle
tested champs that are
more center than ever
before here to set the stage
for our opening
championship contest.
Our own add on creation.
- [Announcer] The following
contest is scheduled for
one fall and it is for the
United World Tag
Team Championship.
Introducing the
first of challengers
at a combined weight of 349
lbs Adriel Noctis and Sketch
Wasted Youth!
(Cheering)
And introducing the champions
at a combined weight
of 383 lbs they are
the United World
Tag Team Champions
Taylor and Thomaste
the Soul Burners!
(Cheering)
- [Todd] Great way to kick
off the final installment of
this huge anniversary
celebration of all things
championship wrestling from
Hollywood here at Milestone
tag team titles on the line.
You think for Milestone a
show and to think so powerful
so luxurious you know someone
like Thomas to shave that
chest hair of his.
(Bell dinging)
- [Andrew] It's been
a bit of a weapon.
Abrasion can do wonders and
now we see Adriel Noctis
and Sketch getting
the jump on Taylor.
Taylor one of the most decorated
champions in the history
of this program is getting
turned inside out early
what a start for Wasted Youth.
Thomaste off the top he's
not fairing much better
get's caught in mid air.
- [Todd] Thomaste now
taking a lot of control
over Wasted Youth.
The fans love it!
- [Andrew] Trying
to divide and concur
shot upstairs by Noctis.
Again a very impressive
start by the upstarts.
Wasted Youth taking
control of this
tag team title encounter.
And that's not easy to
do when you're in there
with the champs.
- [Todd] Definitely not,
you have tag team champions
that are here they
are definitely
decorated for a reason
and for them to go on the
receiving end of all this
definitely speaks volumes
to the team their facing.
- [Andrew] A bunch of
degenerate cheaters.
That is what I
would say Keneley.
- [Todd] It's working
out for them right now
lookout here's Sketch
on the outside.
Beautiful Flip Dive taking
down again both members of the
Soul Burners, the reigning
champions who you know
didn't have a short camp
weren't really prepared
for Wasted Youth and
they're looking for the
proofing ground that Double
Knee they're looking for the
proofing ground they put a
lot of team sway with this.
Wise to it Thomaste
takes the tag to the
Swiss Army Knife of
championship wrestling from
Hollywood he slices,
he dices and Taylor's
doing that right now.
- [Andrew] Why they didn't
sue Cane lian and Ryan Taylor.
- [Todd] Come on
say like a Ginsu.
I said like a
Ginsu it slices it.
- [Andrew] I hate you so much.
- [Todd] Delta World Back
Breaker beautifully done
by Taylor.
Won every major title,
former television champion,
Heritage Champion, and
Tag Team Title holder.
- [Andrew] Ryan Taylor
you definitely dealt with
you don't want to be
on the other side of
strikes from Taylor.
He's absolutely
devastating with those.
Strike that's what I was
talking about right there
and you know the little
muscle definition that
Sketch does have is now gone.
- [Todd] It'll go
through you like a
hot knife through butter.
Now we're seeing some of the
signature Double Teaming by the
Soul Burners putting that
arm on the dissection pan
pinning it down, but
couldn't pin down Sketch
for the one, two, three.
- [Andrew] You know I
can't tell where Thomaste's
chest hair ends and
Sketch's hair begins.
It's like this one big
matte and looks like a
bear died in the middle
of the ring Keneley.
- [Todd] Some questions
this will never be answered
kind of like whose the
question mark we saw him
in action last week.
- [Andrew] Who was that
mad man anyway Keneley?
- [Todd] We saw that
impressive display of Karate.
- [Andrew] Karate
that's what I said.
- [Todd] Karate
Nice knee to the mid
section that will take
some of the starch out of you.
In to the cover goes Thomaste
looking to retain the titles.
- [Andrew] You think any
of these four men know
where Starch is Keneley?
- [Todd] First of well,
yeah I guess it was
a little dated.
- [Andrew] We've
been here a decade.
- [Todd] Yes you have.
You feel old yet?
- [Andrew] Getting there
- [Todd] Taking control
right now is Taylor
again won so many
titles, so dangerous, and
Taylor in control he will
dismantle you in a hurry
the champs have it
all going their way.
Will it stay that way when
we return here at Milestone?
Tag Team Titles on the line
Champs have taken over.
Sketch has been isolated
for some time now.
And not where he wants
to be in this one.
After a lightning fast
start by Wasted Youth.
Weren't wasting the opportunity.
Another close call there.
- When the match starts
off hot in your favor,
it's your job to make sure that
you keep that momentum going.
And Wasted Youth just showing
their inexperience here
against this tag team,
these tag team champions.
They are not gonna be able
to defeat tag team champions
by dropping the
balls that quickly.
And that's exactly
what they've done.
Now falling victim
for their mistakes.
- Oh yeah, serving up
Sentons are the champs.
All you can eat Sentons.
Nice one there by Taylor.
Look out here.
Springboard!
Moonsault by Thomas Day!
Style points,
but will it be
enough for the win?
Not yet.
Great tag teams in the
history of this program.
Rock Ness Monsters, The
Tribe, Banditos, Reno Scum
- Vermin?
- Vermin, yes.
Been an extremely
competitive division
throughout the years.
And great representatives
of that tag team division
as the champions have
been Soul Burners.
- You know who I want to
win this match, Kennelly?
Vermin.
That's who I wanted
to win this match.
And I obviously have
no dog in this fight.
It's like picking between
a butt crack and an armpit.
- Maybe Johnny Yuma should
have kept his mouth shut.
Adrian Quest shut
it for him recently.
Rocking back,
putting the flexibility
of the Skate Park Scumbag
to the test is Thomas Day.
Might get the win
by submission here.
- Your body is not
meant to bend that way
unless you are a
complete yoga freak
like these two Soul Burners.
This is not a good position
to be in by any means.
That is wrenching so
many muscular issues,
in your back, in your legs, in
your arms and your shoulders.
You cannot withstand
that pain for too long.
- Has enough, though,
to shrug him off.
Great agility by
Thomas Day, however.
Drag and Screw leg whip.
Isolating the leg.
Man, look at the fluidity
of motion of Thomas Day.
Impressive.
- Thomas Day is definitely
a very, very
impressive individual.
You know, you figure bicyclists
and swimmers and stuff,
they shave their
arms to be faster.
Imagine if Thomas Day shaved
that eight pounds of hair...
Oh!
... off his stomach and chest?
He'd be like the Flash!
- Throwing the
Fastball was Taylor,
right across the plate
as Sketch was isolated.
Nowhere to go but down.
You're really fascinated with
the chest hair, aren't you?
- It's disgusting!
It looks like he bathed in honey
and rolled around on
a barber shop floor!
- Painting a picture.
Oh man, look at the
- That is nasty!
- Look at the shoulder
joint there of Sketch.
- Disgusting!
- That AC joint absolutely
has got to be screaming.
He wanted the opportunity.
He's paying for it.
Now looking to hyperextend
the arm as well.
Hard to watch.
- Imagine watching it from
Sketch's point of view.
- No thanks.
Cover now by Taylor.
Being one of the most
decorated champions
in the history of this program.
Championship action
coming your way later on
in our main event.
Watts versus Rickey Starks,
Stroke Daddy of the
National Wrestling Alliance.
What a unique main event title
matchup that looks to be.
- An unbelievably
unique main event.
And for the last main
event in Milestone
that is definitely going
to set the standard
for future events in the
upcoming year, Kennelly.
- Gutsy performance
here by Sketch,
doing anything he can to
get out of harm's way.
Makes the tag to a
fresh Adril Noctis
who's spent a lot of
time on the apron.
See if it pays off.
Great offence here by Noctis.
Drives him straight down.
Looking to make
championship history.
Etch their name in the history
of the tag team division
of Championship
Wrestling from Hollywood
but couldn't do it yet.
- Imagine how embarrassed
the company would be
to have these social degenerates
as their tag team champions?
Wearing any sort
of belt whatsoever?
Can you imagine that?
It's embarrassing!
- Cover!
(referee counts two)
- I mean I might just...
First I'd probably start
cleaning house right away
and you'd be the
first person I'd fire.
- Well, we did have the
Friendship Express at one point.
Pack Three.
Look at this!
Look at the double team!
Oh my goodness!
Upset City here we go!
Pack your bags!
No!
Close call.
You can see the official
there, Nick Ponano,
saying it was just that close.
- That was very very close and
look at the face of Noctis.
Noctis couldn't
believe it either.
Sketch needs to go over
there and capitalize.
They need to make sure
they get over here
and capitalize on
this situation,
because Thomas Day is rocked.
He is hurt regardless
of if he kicked out.
That might have been
the last of his energy.
Take advantage while
Taylor is a non-factor.
- Double Japanese Arm Drag!
Incredible!
Taylor now checks back in.
Not who you want to see.
Talk about throwing Fastballs.
There's the windup
and the pitch!
- Again hitting you
with those strikes.
Taylor is absolutely
devastating with those strikes.
Very, very, very effective.
- Scissor Kickoff away!
There it is, delivers!
(wrestler moans)
With deadly results.
Noctis elevated
into the uppercut
and the dreams might go up in
flames here of Wasted Youth,
courtesy of Taylor.
- Taylor is stalking
his prey as it were,
and he's taking his pick.
He's looking at both of them
and it's, "Who
should I go after?
Who can I get?"
Who's even the legal man
at this point, Kennelly?
- He might...
I think he's calling
for the knockout.
He might have caught him there
and that would be...
He has gotten a
knockout victory before
- Oh!
- Oh look at that!
Playing possum!
Oh I thought that was three!
So close!
A little page out of
the history books!
But now, they went
for it earlier,
did not hit the Proving Ground.
But they're in sync right now!
There it is!
Proving Ground knee
hit to perfection!
New champs on the way!
Thomas Day makes the save!
- Oh my goodness, Kennelly!
This is Milestone, baby!
Unbelievable match
we've had so far!
- What a heads-up move though,
that counter into the
Inside Cradle by Noctis.
He had gotten knocked cold
in a previous encounter
and Taylor showing some
sportsmanship there
was asking for the official
to take a look at him.
They hit it once,
can they hit it twice?
Can they put away Ryan Taylor?
No sir! Not yet!
- Ryan Taylor still has
a lot of fight in him
and so does Thomas Day
who's now ascending
the top rope.
Not a good position for Sketch!
- Oo!
Takes him up and over.
Look out here.
Heavy hitter swinging
for the fences.
(audience starts chanting)
Ocean View Pavilion
knows what's up.
- Looking for that
Burning Man, Kennelly.
This should be it.
- Looking to strike that match.
The balance here.
Can they hit the Burning
Man and seal the deal
in a successful title defence?
Here it is!
Center of the ring!
Will it be enough?
Indeed it is!
(bell rings)
- Here are your winners
and still
United World tag team champions,
the Soul Burners!
(rock music)
- The following contest is a
two out of three falls match.
Introducing first, from Las
Vegas, Nevada, Lacey Ryan!
(rock music)
- Chance to try and be
at the top of the heap
when it comes to
the Women's Division
here on Championship
Wrestling from Hollywood.
Try and dethrone the Killer Bae,
who has claimed that spot,
at least in her own mind.
Lacey Ryan, an
incredible athlete
with the tools to get it done.
- That's fine, but
they don't call her
the Killer Bae for nothing.
Two out of three falls,
two straight victories,
right one after the other.
Heather Monroe, this
might belong to you.
(rock music)
(electronic music)
(crowd boos)
- And introducing her opponent,
being accompanied to the
ring by Halston Boddy,
she is the Killer
Bae, Heather Monroe!
(crowd boos)
- Killer Bae, Heather Monroe
set for action
here at Milestone.
Heather Monroe, a lot of great
match-ups and performances
over the years here
on this program,
but tries to stay at
the top of the heap,
flanked by the self-proclaimed
"Prism of Excellence"
Halston Boddy.
- She is absolutely stunning,
absolutely stunning!
You talk about class, you
talk about athleticism,
you talk about beauty,
you talk about brains,
she has it all, Keneley,
she has it all wrapped
up in an awesome package
and you have Halston
Boddy body in there,
just to put the cherry
on the ice cream.
That is the definition
of upper-class!
- A world class athlete
though, is her opposition,
and Lacey Ryan
should be a good one,
and again we have to remind you
this is a two out of
three falls match-up,
so always pivotal and important
to try and get that
early advantage,
lock in that first fall,
and take the lead as it were.
(crowd cheers)
(bell dings)
So this one, not a
sprint but a marathon,
we'll see these two
great competitors
a chance to really
prove who is the best.
- When you take that
first fall, Keneley,
if you take that first
fall, if you get that,
if you get that position to
be the very first victor,
the idea is that you have
to continue to capitalize
on your opponent and
do not let them rest.
You take the fall,
you get up as soon as
the next part begins
and that's exactly what
Heather Monroe is gonna do,
I guarantee it.
- Easy for you to say.
Look at this, nice Japanese
arm drag by Lacey Ryan
who had scored the take
down in the ground and pound
previous to that,
but no, I'm picking up
what you're putting down.
It is a huge advantage if
you can get that opening fall
and that's not lost on
Lacey Ryan who gets it!
Wow, just like that!
- Here is your winner of
the first fall, Lacey Ryan!
- What!
(crowd cheers)
Halfway there.
Huge advantage.
And what's that gonna do to
the psyche of the Killer Bae?
- She wasn't ready, Keneley.
She wasn't ready.
She wasn't ready,
restart the match.
Restart the match,
she wasn't ready.
- Well, that's exactly
what is gonna happen,
because we will be going
on to our second fall,
A little strategy session
here with Halston Body,
a little, to restore order
here with the Killer Bae.
- They definitely came
up with a plan, Keneley.
That's what I saw, they
came up with a plan!
- Well, I will say this,
the confidence seemed to return
to the face of the Killer
Bae, swing and a miss,
well now you see the
plan coming to fruition.
Good, old-fashioned
cheating, misdirection.
What a plan!
- You call it
cheating all you want.
You wanna distract somebody
with a short attention span
and call it cheating,
that's fine.
Lacey Ryan knows
who her opponent is
and sure as hell
isn't Halston Boddy.
She has no business
going out there
and striking a man who's
not even in the match.
- If you ask me,
that's a type-B plan,
a type of plan you have
if you're out-gunned
and out-matched.
- Keneley, this is
why nobody likes you,
you come up with
absolute B.S. like this.
Heather Monroe is the
absolute definition of class,
we've said it time
and time again.
She would never do something
like that to Lacey Ryan.
- Well, maybe that's why
all my commentary partners
have left over the
years, all right.
Snap-suplex.
- I'm just waiting on
that big break, Keneley.
Just waiting on that big break.
They're gonna call!
- Stick with me long enough,
it's bound to happen.
But I'm right here at home
in Championship
Wrestling From Hollywood
and very happy to be so.
Nice shot now as Heather
Monroe is taking advantage,
trying to get back in
the lead and she has to
because she's got
that one fall deficit.
If Heather Monroe goes
down yet again here,
to defeat, this thing's over.
And it'll be reverse of what
you prophesied, a sweep.
But it would be a
sweep for Lacey Ryan.
- Oh, well I think she still
has the chance to sweep.
- You kidding me?
- She still--
- Did you see that?
- She still,
I didn't see anything!
I didn't see anything.
Neither did you.
She still has the chance
to sweep, Keneley,
the next two falls are hers,
the next two falls are hers.
- Okay, yes.
Which would not be a sweep,
it would be two falls to one,
but you can keep
telling yourself that.
- It would be a later sweep.
It'd be like, you know like a--
- Right, I got ya.
Here we go, after the
back-breaker into the cover,
close call and
Heather Monroe now,
feverishly looking
to tie this thing up,
at one fall apiece.
- Heather Monroe, even though
she lost that first fall,
she's still in there,
still has that mindset
to take apart Lacey Ryan.
Very, very, smart
and cunning is she.
(crowd cheers)
- Shot up the middle by Lacey
Ryan, great striker as well.
Training in the state of
Nevada known for fighting.
First one didn't get her,
second one did, into the cover.
And Killer Bae seems rocked
after that spinning back kick
by Lacey Ryan.
- We saw earlier tonight, she
might just be playing possum,
trying to lure in Lacey Ryan
into her trap as the
Killer Bae, Keneley.
And it's working effectively
obviously, now she's on top.
Into the cover now,
looking to tie it up.
Can she knot it up at one?
No, not yet.
Killer Bae trying to
tie this match-up up.
It continues, right after this.
Killer Bae has been in
control throughout the break
but was not able to
secure a victory.
- Not yet able to
secure a victory yet.
She's workin' on it Keneley.
- Now Lacey Ryan
in a bad way here,
using her resources
and surroundings.
Into the cover.
Grabbing the rope
there was Lacey Ryan.
Heads-up move by her.
- Heads-up move,
it's the easy way out
is what that was Keneley.
A real competitor would've
kicked out, but no,
she took the easy way out.
And Heather Monroe by
the way, by the way,
Heather Monroe might not have
wanted to get the victory
until the cameras
came back on her.
Once everybody came
back from break.
- Interesting analysis there.
Was looking for that
bad Michinoku Driver,
didn't hit it.
Following in with the
strike was Lacey Ryan.
Back and forth seesaw matchup.
But sense of urgency's gotta be
on the side of Heather Monroe.
It might get swept
if this continues.
Eatin' a series of shots
here by Lacey Ryan,
sling blade now.
- Lacey Ryan's gettin'
some few lucky shots,
I'll say that.
And who could blame
Heather Monroe for being
just a little bit rattled
because these idiots
wouldn't shut up?
- Lucky shots, are
you kiddin' me?
Lacey Ryan again maintaining
that advantage right now.
One fall to nothing.
- Still eyeing that
clean sweep, you know?
You gotta eye.
- Halston Boddy, look at this,
Halston Boddy gettin' physical!
- No, he defended himself.
Self defense is what
that was, self defense.
Lacey went down in a heap
there and now takin' advantage.
Lacey Ryan is
completely out here!
Heather Monroe lookin' to
tie it up, and she does.
But the big story here is--
- The winner of the second
fall, Heather Monroe!
- That nasty fall to the
outside followed by the suplex
and Monroe might be able to
make it two quick falls here
because Lacey Ryan in harm's
way, in big time jeopardy here.
She can't get back
to a vertical base.
- She smacked her head hard,
hard on that floor Keneley.
Very very hard.
But, you know, I guess
the lesson here is
don't kick somebody
on the outside
who's defenseless against you,
and you won't get the horns.
So we're down to the
third and final fall.
But the real fall was on
the outside by Lacey Ryan
and that's the difference
maker in this match-up.
Both throwin'
everything they've got.
- Oh, that one caught
her in a big way,
nothin' wrong with that.
Big shot by Lacey Ryan,
but unable to capitalize.
- That's okay, Halston Boddy's
right there to give her
the motivational pep talk.
There he is, look at
that, look at that,
I love Halston Boddy.
Go ahead and give her
the motivational pep talk
that she needs to get back
up, get into the game.
Doesn't matter, don't
listen to these idiots,
Heather Monroe.
Do not listen to them.
They are not gonna
sign your paycheck.
Go out there and take care of
business like I know you can.
- Well Monroe might have
Halston Boddy, but Lacey Ryan
has some respect of the
crowd in attendance.
Caught her with the
knee on the way down,
that might be
enough to rock her.
To finish this thing
off two falls to one.
Halston Boddy,
Halston Boddy puttin' his
hands on the official.
- Puttin' his hands
on the, what, okay.
- That could've been
a disqualification,
this thing could've been over.
Instead he's bein'
sent to the back.
- No, absolutely not, don't,
do not eject that man.
- Use that man
cape and fly away.
Boy he's really mad if
he's breakin' his fan.
He's turnin' against his fans.
Back inside.
All tied up.
Who's gonna take that
pivotal third and final fall?
Roll through, out of the
fireman's carry position.
A second, third, or fourth
wind here for Lacey Ryan.
- Oh, Heather Monroe's
in trouble Keneley.
- Look at the distance.
Big time splash with
authority into the cover.
Gonna take home the victory, no!
The Killer Bae finds a way.
- A lot of people, a lot
of people woulda laid down
for that Keneley, they
would've called it quits
right there.
And I wouldn't have
blamed them one bit.
Shows you the tenacity and
the heart of Heather Monroe.
Even though Halsted Boddy
is no longer a factor,
she's still in there!
Givin' every single
thing she can.
That's why I absolutely
love that woman.
- Would have thought that
splash woulda takin' the wind
out of Heather Monroe's
sails, literally.
It was a solid, solid
splash from the top.
But Killer Bae diggin'
down deep into the
seven year stretch.
With the bridge.
Will Lacey Ryan tap?
She's dead center
of the ring here.
Long way from the
salvation of the ropes.
- Too far away from
the ropes, Keneley,
too far away from the ropes.
She'll never make it in time.
- Reaching out with her
foot now, it gets there.
But punishment, the
damage being done
is Heather Monroe
holding on to that hold
well after Lacey Ryan
got to the ropes.
And, boy, whoever
wins this thing
is certainly gonna earn it.
- Absolutely
Keneley, absolutely.
And you talk about
holdin' that move.
It's very very smart
by Heather Monroe.
- On her inside cradle.
Might come down to fundamental
wrestling between these two.
Big shot upstairs by
Lacey Ryan, followin' in.
Man, back and forth.
This is a fireworks
show Andrew Jassic.
- This is insane.
One surprise after another.
Again now, this is what
Milestone is all about.
That might be it.
- That Mishinoku
Driver into the cover.
(bell ringing)
Get's it done.
- Your winner of the
third fall and the match,
Heather Monroe!
- Heather Monroe gets
the two to one victory.
Impressive there.
- I told you, and there he is!
There he is, the
mastermind of it all.
Yes, yes!
- Of course Halston Boddy
out there to celebrate.
Well he played his
role in the victory,
he should celebrate.
- Proud, very very
proud of these two.
They should be
proud of themselves.
Keneley, when was the last
time you felt that good
about yourself?
- Well, we'll see who feels
good after our main event.
Comin' up the Hollywood
Heritage title on the line.
Watts defends against the
Stroke Daddy Ricky Starks.
That comin' up next.
- We close out Milestone
With a high-profiled
Heritage Title matchup,
and very few shine brighter
under the bright
lights, than absolute.
The Stroke Daddy Ricky
Starks, you've seen him.
He's got victories here in
the Ocean View Pavilion.
And certainly victories,
in Atlanta, Georgia,
on NWA Power where he's
been a perennial contender
for the NWA National
Championship.
But can he take home, the
Hollywood Heritage title?
He's got the opportunity
in our main event.
- What an exciting
couple weeks we had,
Milestone has been absolutely
off-the-charts amazing,
and no man's been better
to close out this event,
than that man right
there, Ricky Starks.
(funky music)
- And there you
see the reigning,
defending, dominant, Hollywood
Heritage Champion, Watts.
And you can hear what the
fans think is gonna happen
in this main event, Watts
won the title and another one
of our, huge signature annual
events, The Red Carpet Rumble.
And he has dominantly
defended it every since.
- He has not lost
that title yet despite
getting, opponent after
opponent after opponent,
of very formidable contestants.
Very, very, very, scary close
encounters and Watts almost
lose that title, but still
held on, and that is why,
there's support of these
people in Hollywood.
- Title's on the line,
as the Stroke Daddy
faces the Squash God,
and here to set the stage,
our own, Adnan Kureishy.
- The following contest
is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for The Hollywood
Heritage Championship!
Introducing first,
the challenger,
from New Orleans, Louisiana,
weighing in a 195 pounds,
absolute, Ricky Starks!
- Watts is gonna kill you.
Watts is gonna kill you.
Watts is gonna kill you.
- And, introducing the Champion.
It's the Hollywood
Heritage Champion,
this is Watts!
(crowd cheering)
- Watts!
Watts!
- Whole lotta
respect and support
in the Ocean View Pavilion for
the reigning Champion, Watts.
Had many great moments here,
looking to make another
one here at Milestone, as,
Starks finds himself in
a very hostile environment.
- Very, very, bad
predicament is Starks in.
Definitely, might be a
little bit different than
what he's used to.
Watts does not play around,
that man is a beast,
he is dangerous, and we
are literally a bell away,
from sealing,
one of these two gentlemen's
fate, at Milestone.
(bell ringing)
- Ricky Starks though,
has big, match experience.
On NWA Power, he had two
consecutive victories,
over Aron The Idol Stevens.
- And Aron The Idol
Stevens is definitely
not somebody, that you
should cast away either.
Very, very big, very
nasty, very aggressive,
but of course Watts, is
nothing to be played with.
And, and apparently
Ricky Starks,
didn't get that memo, because
he is insulting Watts,
right here at his home turf.
- Yeah, I'm not
to be played with,
and Starks might find
that out, the hard way,
courtesy of the Squash God.
And the elusive, Ricky Starks
early on in this matchup.
Sticking and moving's,
a sound strategy,
when you're in there,
with a dominant, champion
the likes of Watts.
And drops Watts down to a knee,
and they are really going,
that is impressive,
at least it was.
- And, yeah, all good things
must come to an end, Kenely.
But he's fighting
his way out of it,
he might be able to hold
his own against the monster.
- What a huge feather
in the cap it would be,
for Starks, if he can claim
the Hollywood Heritage title.
He's been on the hunt at
the National Championship,
and the National
Wrestling Alliance.
Trying to hang on and
take the big man down.
Watts now into a full
mount, and this is not where
you wanna be, this could
be over by TKO in a hurry.
Referee taking a good look.
- And to me Kenely,
this is definitely,
a little bit of back and forth,
now Watts might be
up on top right now,
but Ricky Starks, just
keeps coming back.
(laughing)
- Now it's Watts,
that's elusive.
It's Watts, that's
making a mess.
- Tit for tat, indeed.
And look at the look that
Starks just gave Watts,
and look at the look in
return, that Watts gave Starks.
This is sure gonna
be amazing, Kenely.
- Absolute, Ricky.
Starks getting absolutely,
dismantled, right there,
big shot by Watts, covering
the center of the ring.
Tough to kick out, when the
big man's got the cover.
- Okay, Starks looks, a
little bit worse for wear,
he took that, he took
that foot from Watts,
in a very, very, bad
way, that is for sure.
- Neck vice here by Watts.
Like taking the bottle
cap off of a bottle,
and a big wide open right hand,
throwing heavy bombs, is the,
Heritage Champion,
we've seen this,
a signature that big, fall
away slam, pillar to post.
- And you know what
that means Kenely,
that, that never travels alone.
It always travels in pairs.
This crowd knows
what's coming up,
and Watts is, all
too happy to oblige.
- We'll see if the champ,
elects to go back for seconds.
Looks like that, is
gonna be the case.
Much to the shagrin
of the Stroke,
he's, trying to get out of
Watts' way, not happening.
You know what,
Stroke Daddy tried.
He gave it vital effort,
trying to bite the
shoulder of Watts,
did every single thing he could,
to make sure that he got
out of that predicament.
Unfortunately, Watts,
is very much in control.
- Watts in total control, here.
Might be the
beginning of the end,
if he can get that choke
for, he's put away so many,
breaking down the hands.
Was the Stroke Daddy.
(groaning)
- Now Stroke Daddy now getting
pummelled by Watts,
that is nasty.
- Watts back in control.
(crowd cheering)
Our main event continues,
right after this.
- We're back with
more of our main event
for the Hollywood
Heritage Championship.
Before the break, Watts
tried to put this thing away
with that sitout
choke powerbomb,
countered nicely by Starks
and Starks doing
everything in his arsenal
to try and get the big man down.
- And it's definitely been
a little bit of back
and forth since then.
Now Starks, in a
little bit of control,
but it's only a matter of time
before that wound
above Starks's left eye
gets more swelled and prevalent,
and Watts is all too happy
to take advantage of that.
That is absolutely nasty.
Watts could be very,
very hurt at this point.
- Watts is trying,
you can see him,
the Champion trying to get
some feeling back in that hand.
The pins and needles
shootin' through that arm.
And Starks having no part of it.
You take away that hand, you
might take away the arsenal.
You might take
away the chokebomb.
- Absolutely, a man like
Watts depends on his hand
to perform various moves,
including that chokebomb.
If you can't deliver that,
and if your name is Watts,
Then what good are you
at that point, Keneley?
Your title is very much at risk.
- When I caught up with
The Stroke Daddy earlier,
I said "How are
you gonna contend
"with the size and
strength of Watts?"
And he said "Quite frankly,
I'm gonna fight dirty.
"I'm gonna do what
ever it takes."
He used that momentum
of Watts against him.
Watts hit hard and
heavy into that post,
doing a lot of the
heavy lifting, you
might, say for Starks.
- That's my kinda guy.
You know, you have
that mentality,
do whatever you can to win.
Again now, especially
at Milestone,
especially at an event that's
so incredibly important,
you do every single you
can to secure that victory.
Even if it means breaking
the hand of Watts.
- Knock it off!
- I'm sorry!
- Drove the thumb of Watts
right into that top turnbuckle.
Again you gotta think,
just the shock waves of pain
running through that entire arm
inside his body and
now, picking up the pace
with that drop kick.
Do you think maybe
he found, in essence,
the one weakness, the
achilles heel, if you will,
of the dominant champ?
- Yeah, putting a
little bit of a kink
in the chain is Starks.
And this is something
that we haven't really
seen anybody do to Watts,
at least as of recently.
Watts is takin a brunt
of punishment right now
and this is not the big man
that we are used
to seeing, Keneley.
- It dismantled right now
by absolute Ricky Starks.
Very resourceful.
Question the antics if you want.
Now had that hand pinned
between the post and the steps.
- That is absolutely,
that is disgusting.
That is disgusting.
You could break somebody's
hand so quickly with that.
And I don't think Starks cares.
And you know what, I don't care,
honestly, I don't care
for Watts very much
but I definitely don't want
somebody to go in there
and not be able to ever
return to that ring.
And that's exactly
what Ricky Starks
is doing to Watts right now.
He's punishing him so hard,
he's putting him at
risk for serious injury.
- Starks had mentioned,
"Hey we're the same size,
"if I get you down on the
mat, if I get you horizontal,"
that's where he's
got him right now,
after the missile drop kick,
into the cover, count of 2.
Heavy pressure being maintained
here by The Stroke Daddy.
- Ricky Starks is
absolutely impressive
and the fact that the fans are
not behind him in this match
is well beyond me.
The man has such incredible
prowess and ring knowledge,
going in there and
taking advantage
of somebody the size of Watts.
You have to give
him credit, Keneley.
(crowd chants)
- I give him credit for
what he's doing right now.
A top wrist lock.
And again that hand has
been just brutalized.
Shots to the mid-section
here by Big Nasty.
Tries to pull him in for the
clothesline, did not happen.
Look at this!
Springboard into
The Tornado DDT.
Watts is back to
his feet though!
No affect, turns him inside out!
Take a helicopter
tour of Hollywood!
- I don't think anybody
was expecting that.
Least of all, Ricky
Starks who popped up,
was showing a great deal of
excitement only to turn around
and meet that line, it
turned him inside out.
- That big cranium of
Watts kissed the canvas,
but he popped right up.
Playtime might be over.
An angry Watts is an
extremely dangerous Watts.
One handed or not.
- And remember, he
only needs one hand
to point to that music and
signify that it's all over.
If Watts can capitalize on this,
he may be able to put it away.
This might be it, Keneley!
- Watts with The
Dropkick, again,
just a spectacle, the
athleticism of this monster
and being on
disbelief and more so,
the big man, goin' upstairs--
- If he hits this, it's over.
- Nobody home for
the clothesline.
I think he caught that
hand and wrist as well
on the way down,
more damage done.
How are you gonna go for
a Double Leg on Watts?
You might want to
rethink on that one!
- Definitely not, if he, oh!
Oh, my goodness!
- DNR, do not resuscitate.
- One.
- Is it gonna be enough?
- Two, two count, two.
- Watts, it took him some time
to get into that cover there
because of the hand,
he couldn't secure it.
- That's the thing and he
didn't get all of that DNR.
He didn't cover him well
enough because of the hand.
He is not all the man
that he needs to be
to cover up Starks.
He is busted too much.
He is hurting too much.
Starks has put him
through too much turmoil.
But Watts now looking for
this, you gotta figure,
will test the strength
of his hand right now.
- Breaking down the
hands with Starks there,
that residual
damage, that strategy
coming to fruition perhaps.
Oh, a spear from Starks!
And he took The big man
down somehow, some way!
And almost put him away.
- Oh my goodness.
- Have you ever seen
anybody do that?
- This is insane!
I've never seen
anybody treat Watts
the way Starks is
treating him right now,
giving him a run for his money,
making him doubt exactly
why he came in here.
He's not pointing to the music.
He's not showing his
cocky attitude now.
Starks might be the
man to slay the giant!
- Never expected to see Starks
take Watts down with a spear.
He just did, he had the
double butterfly lock.
- Oh.
- Well,
don't think you're gonna
have enough to do this.
Swing and a miss
though, the hand again,
the hand caught
nothing but canvas.
Those wood planks
there and again,
you gotta think the shock waves
running through the
body of the Champion.
At some point it might
cost him for good.
- Oh Watts now raising his hand.
Look!
- Ooh, elbows.
- And he's doing
everything he can
to not hit him with that hand.
He hit him with the left hand.
He hit him with the right elbow.
Doing every single
thing he can to save
whatever feeling he has
left in that hand of his.
- Watts had to call the audible.
Maybe gonna go open hand?
Oh, caught!
- Oh!
- And attacking again is Starks.
Starks using the body placement
to do the unthinkable,
to do the unthinkable to Watts!
He does powerbomb!
Center of the ring!
Taste of his own medicine!
But only a two count,
can you imagine
if Stroke Daddy beat
Watts with a powerbomb?
- We were a fraction
of a second away
from seeing a brand
new champion, Keneley.
This would have been
the upset of all upsets,
and what better place
to do it than Milestone?
Ricky Starks still
has a chance though!
He might be able to put him
away right then and now!
- I mean, he is doing
the unthinkable.
This is going into
video game territory,
it doesn't seem like reality.
Short DDT, short flight,
bad landing for Watts.
- Look at Watts,
Watts is glazed over.
He doesn't know where he's at.
He's rocked, he's
ready, he is ready,
Starks is ready to take this
victory away from Watts.
He is one second,
no what is this?
- What, no!
No, no, no, the Question
Mark, are you kiddin' me?
Straight out of Mongrovia?
What the hell!
No, now into The Choke Force
but Watts gonna take advantage.
Watts wins!
- What?
(crowd cheers)
(hip hop music)
- Here is your winner,
and still Hollywood
Heritage Champion, Watts!
- I don't think Watts even
saw The Question Mark there.
And The Question Mark's been a
thorn in side of Ricky Starks
in Atlanta, Georgia,
now here in Hollywood.
But one thing remains the
same, Watts, the Champion.
- That will do it
for this edition of
Championship Wrestling
presented by West
Coast Pro Wrestling.
Another great trip

but come on back again next week
