SoCal Pro Heavyweight Championship
"The Mirror Image" Ricky Mandel (c) w/ C. Edward Vander Pyle vs. SCP Tag Team Champion Johnny Yuma
- The current SCP Heavyweight Champion will attempt to defend his title for the fourth time against a new challenger in Johnny Yuma. After a controversial reverse decision made by Referee Adam Marantz, Ricky Mandel retained the gold and SoCal Crazy's title victory was declared null and void. A referee's decision is always final and Mandel's reign as champion continues unless he manages to lose to a RockNES Monster. Johnny Yuma can make history in becoming a dual-champion by simultaneously holding the SCP Tag Team Title and SCP Heavyweight Title. Mandel stated that Yuma does not compare to the greatest of The Mirror Image and is not even in his league. Yuma will have to pull out all the stops in order to become the new SCP Heavyweight Champion and have eyes in the back of his head since Mandel and Vander Pyle have tricks up their sleeves. Can Ricky Mandel retain the SCP Heavyweight Title? Or will Johnny Yuma rock and roll all over Mandel to become a dual-champion? 

 

#1 Contender’s Match
SoCal Crazy vs. Hector “El Chido” Canales
- SoCal Crazy wants other chance to become a three-time SCP Heavyweight Champion, but he will need to defeat Hector Canales in order to earn the right to be the #1 Contender. SoCal Crazy is infuriated by the fact that his title victory last month never happened. Canales is another wrestler upset with Ricky Mandel still being the champion. Ever since Mandel became the champion in April, Canales anticipated getting his revenge and an actual heavyweight title shot. Month after month, Canales was denied by SoCal Pro officials to step into the ring with his former Cool Imagery member. On August 14, Canales will look no further because he will receive a guaranteed opportunity at whoever is the champion by first defeating SoCal Crazy. Friendships will be put aside in this match because of its importance. Can SoCal Crazy earn another shot at the heavyweight title that rightfully belongs to him? Or will Hector Canales show everyone in SoCal Pro why he deserves to be the next champion?

Singles Match
SCP Tag Team Champion Johnny Goodtime vs. "Mr. Megastar" Tommy Wilson
- In a rematch from last year's A Rumble in Oceanside, Johnny Goodtime will face the former SCP Heavyweight Champion Tommy Wilson. This rematch will be different from their previous match because Johnny Goodtime will enter the match at 100% instead of having to wrestle ill and against the doctor's orders. Goodtime wants to prove that he can beat Wilson with or without the doctor's order. As for Goodtime's opponent, he believes the current SCP Tag Team Champion is not a threat to him since Goodtime was defeated by then-champion Tommy Wilson to retain the SCP Heavyweight Title. If Goodtime gets and upset win on a former heavyweight champion, then SoCal Pro officials should take notice and give another RockNES Monster a title shot. Can Johnny Goodtime prove his worth to Tommy Wilson? Or will Mr. Megastar prove that he can't be stopped by Goodtime?
 
Singles Match
Chimaera vs. Johnny Paradise
- After defeating Jaysin Strife at Collision Course 4, Chimaera will head into SoCal Pro's August show with much needed momentum since the luchador will wrestle a tough opponent, the former two-time AWS Heavyweight Champion Johnny Paradise. There seems to be hostility from Paradise toward his opponent because Chimaera recently aligned himself with one of Paradise’s biggest rivals, SoCal Crazy. The lost of the AWS Heavyweight Title to SoCal Crazy still bothers Paradise to this very day and he wants to take out his frustrations on another luchador who happens to be Chimaera. Paradise will also need to pick up another win since he has more losses than wins in the SoCal Pro record book. Chimaera’s winning streak will continue and hopefully he will be granted a future heavyweight title shot against whoever is the champion. That is if he can get past Johnny Paradise.

Tag Team Match
Todd Chandler & Kid Caramba vs. “Pretty” Peter Avalon & Mystery Partner
- Peter Avalon is searching for a new tag team partner since his original tag team partner, “The Professional” Scott Lost, wrestled his final match with SoCal Pro last month. Who will be Avalon’s new tag team partner? Avalon is the only one to know the answer to the question, at least for the time being. Avalon’s opponents, Todd Chandler and Kid Caramba, have no idea on the identity of the mystery partner and even how to prepare for an opponent they know absolutely nothing about. Chandler and Kid Caramba need to walk into Oceanside with a serious game plan considering they have never been partners and Kid Caramba is still a rookie to the wrestling ring. Which team will prevail in the tag team match? Find out on August 14.

"Lovin" Nick Lovin to speak in Oceanside
- Nick Lovin requested time to publicly speak to the SoCal Pro fans about his future in SoCal Pro. He will also discuss being defeated by Kitana Vera in the first-ever intergender match that took place at Collision Course 4.

Plus: "Radiant" Jason Redondo in action and more!

Another look at NWA Worlds Champion Adam Pearce

Columnist for the NWAWrestling.com, Michael Simmons recently wrote about the NWA World Champion, "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce. Having spoken to Adam on multiple occasions, I feel this gives even more insight to the man carrying the Legendary 10Lbs. of Gold.

Pearce and the NWA World Title return to Southern California this weekend as he’s scheduled to take on longtime area mainstay Joey Ryan for SoCal Pro Wrestling on Friday, June 25, then against Scorpio Sky this Sunday for Empire Wrestling Federation as part of the NWA Showcase Tour. Those two events bookend Saturday’s Showcase event in Yuma, Arizona, where he’s set to take on Sean “Syxx-Pac” Waltman.

These three men, Ryan, Waltman and Sky, are among the ever-growing list of challengers gunning for Pearce’s title. Phill Shatter, Charlie Haas, Lance Cade and many others are going after the champion. It was announced last week that even Bryan Danielson is returning to the NWA this August to get his hands on Pearce one-on-one for the first time since 2007. The champ gives his thoughts on the recent situation regarding Danielson and previews the match against the American Dragon.

“Bryan is a supremely talented performer and a quality person outside the ring, and I’ve had the pleasure of being around him quite a bit over the years. I’m confident he’ll find himself successful in whatever wrestling environment he finds himself in, and I’m happy to be able to work with him again,” he said.

“I think that match will open some eyes for sure; Bryan and I had a good one in Vancouver in 2007, and an excellent tag match in Hollywood that probably no one except those in attendance even heard about. I’m looking forward to it.”

A Letter to Phil Shatter-- By Adam Pearce

Poor Phill Shatter.

Now that a few days have passed and you’ve had time to reflect on your little ‘incident’ last weekend in Charlotte, I thought it most appropriate to address you and your recent video warning to me. You told me to ‘watch over my shoulder’ that ‘you’d be everywhere I turn’.

How incredibly stupid are you?

Did you think that your words were somehow going to strike fear into my heart and force me to cower at the very mention of your name? Did you think I’d run and hide and live afraid that BIG BAD SHATTER was going to hurt me?

You’re a fool. You try to play mind control with the man that wrote the book on it. That’s why I haven’t responded until now. Because my words aren’t hollow. My words are to be feared. My words bring action, Shatter.

I’m a connected man. In some 15 years in this industry I’ve made friends and business partners, and every single one of them with purpose. I’m calculating, Shatter. I’m making moves before moves need to be made, because I’ve got to stay one step ahead. And that’s why I’ve entrusted men like Jim Cornette, Larry Sweeney, C. Edward Vander Pyle, and Nick Bockwinkel. Oh. And Jeff G. Bailey.

That’s right, Shatter. THAT Jeff G. Bailey.

Haven’t put it together, yet? You think that Kimo and Bailey laid waste to you for no reason? Think again.

Now, I’m far too classy to put a bounty out on someone. I like to think of it as a ‘workplace incentive’. You can call it whatever you want. I call it ‘dealing with a nuisance’. I call it ‘shutting you up’, Phill Shatter. And so far, it’s worked.

I’m sure we’ll meet again. And where ever it is, be it in Texas for Ken Taylor, in the Midwest for Rico Mann, or right back in Charlotte, next time after you lose to the modern day legend of the NWA, I do hope you’ll keep that big mouth of yours a little more tight-lipped.

Who is looking over their shoulder now?

They thanked Tijuana for having this match take place and looked forward to coming back. There are talks of making this a new home for the NWA and Pro Wrestling Revolution, only time will tell.

The end of the night had Blue Demon Jr. and Mystico de Juarez on top, but that was nothing short of a revolution breaking out. Oliver John and Adam Pearce with help from Vanderpyle, left their opponents laid out including unmasking Blue Demon Jr. and Tijuana did not take it lightly!
