Review of SoCal Pro's Super Clash 2010
This would mark the 4th time this year I would make the trek down the 5 South to Mission Blvd. to make my way to the Oceanside Boys and Girls Club. I have been yet to be disappointed by a single show put on by SoCal Pro and and last night was no different. SoCal Pro's SuperClash is one of the biggest pro-wrestling events in Oceanside California.
In the opening bout, the SoCal Pro Tag Team Champions, RockNES Monsters joined Jason Redondo to take on the tag team of "Pretty" Peter Avalon, Ric Ellis, and "Megastar" Tommy Wilson. No doubt about it, RockNES Monsters have the crowd eating out of their hands. From the moment the rock version of Tetris hits the airwaves the crowd surrenders their loyalty to the Johnnies, Goodtime and Yuma. And for their loyalty, the fans are rewarded with spectacular double teams and creative aerial assaults. Conversely, everything Goodtime and Yuma do for the crowd, "Pretty" Peter does the opposite. Where the RockNES Monsters lure the crowd in with their charisma, Avalon's charisma chases the fanbase away. And the "Megastar" somehow, someway, has created a small but vocal fanbase, which were adamant about Tommy Wilson not being a "Mega-Turd." The Melee that unfolded after the bell rang was something out of a street fight. Referee Everett Scott was completely ineffective in keeping the action in the ring. Often being sat on top of the turnbuckle by Wilson. The action spilled out of the ring very early and spent most of the time out there. Ellis, Avalon, and Redondo were all nailed with a dangerous, yet tactical double dive from the Monsters than laid out the entire crowd. It was followed up with a "Megastar" dive on the wreckage of bodies. Wilson had taken control of the match and looked nearly undefeatable. That is until the RockNES Monsters hit their patent Ace Crusher/Brain Kick on Wilson and completely changed the momentum of the match. Redondo was able to capitalize on the dazed Wilson and get the 1-2-3. A disgusted Avalon abandoned the post match Wilson leaving Ellis looking like the child caught in the middle of a parent argument. This match could have easily been the main event of most wrestling shows, but this was the opener. It certainly got the crowd fired up and the action was really intense.
The next match of the night was Angel Santos, taking on Aerial Star. Santos certainly didn't win over the crowd with his threats of bodily harm to the fans ring side. This is the second time I've seen Santos wrestle and my only complaint about him is that he doesn't seem to make eye contact with anyone. I really thought he wrestled much better in this match than the previous one I had seen him in, but it seems he goes out of his way to avoid eye contact. Aerial Star is Aerial Star. He puts on a great match taking a couple of high risk maneuvers and attempts to get the crowd into his matches. I like Star, I'd like to see more of him. These two put on a good fight, but tonight it looked like Santos was going to take that upset. Star ate a lot of offense from Santos, even hitting a fireman's carry to a gut buster. Santos got the near fall, but the victory would go to Aerial Star who racked up yet another victory in SoCal Pro.
Next up was the tag team match up featuring Matt Twizted and Todd Chandler going up against Anchors Away. Anchors Away maybe underrated as a tag team. They have some unique offense. Stone and Jones really put the hurt on Twizted early on. And Chandler's offense was cut short due to the effective tag team wrestling that Anchors are known for. Although it wasn't announced as anything more than a tag team match, I think the Anchors are on their way for a showdown with Anchors Away. The finish came when the Anchors combined for their tag team finish. One scary moment during the match when a double teamed Todd Chandler look legitimately hurt after an Anchors Away dragon suplex.
The long storied rivalry between Johnny Paradise and SoCal Crazy started in Rowland Heights California. While Crazy was the reigning champion of SoCal Pro, Paradise was the reigning champion of AWS. The two would have a title for title match in which Crazy uprooted Paradise and won his championship making Crazy a duel champion in California. The rivalry would continue even to the end of AWS when both men would eliminate each other out of the 149 Person Battle Royal. To say these two have bad blood would be an understatement. Crazy much like RockNES Monsters have the crowds admiration. And rightfully so, his ring work. Crazy would gain the upper hand early in the match up when Paradise who was waiting for him in the ring was shocked by Crazy entering through the crowd and hitting a flying drop kick of the top rope. Crazy kept his early advantage through out most of the match. His combination of high flying hitting offense kept Paradise off his feet. A diving clothesline from Crazy toppled both he and Paradise over the top rope and on to the floor. Referee Chris Massie would reach a 10 count, but that wouldn't stop Paradise in continuing his assault on SoCal Crazy. Paradise would re-enter the ring and demand to be named the victor because in his words "I'm still standing, he isn't!" Paradise would attempt to continue the assault when Aerial Star, Chandler, and Twizted would come to his rescue and help him to the back.
After a brief intermission the show returned with the new attitude of Nic Lovin. No longer so loving, Nic Lovin who starting to resemble a much skinnier version of Necro the Butcher. Lovin accepted the challenge of Kid Caramba. Kid Caramba is certainly not a seasoned veteran, but has the ability to connect with the crowd. Nic Lovin was able to dish out a lot of offense early on. But the Kid was able to quickly rebound and take Lovin to task. Only after interference from Peter Avalon, did Nic Lovin recoup and steal a victory from Caramba.
The first of two main events, had to be quickly reshuffled, when Chimera who had fallen ill and was told by doctors to "sit this one out." Feeling in for Chimera was Locura, who was hoping to best NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce. I never had seen Locura before and I was really impressed with his abilities in the ring. Pearce the season veteran was certainly at a disadvantage in this match up, as his preparation had been for Chimera and I'm sure registered a complaint with Bob Trobich and the National Wrestling Alliance for the bait and switch in opponents. And it may seem that Locura may be following www.alliance-wrestling.com because he was well aware of the rotator-cuff injury Pearce is suffering from. A lot of extensive arm work from Locura to start the match off. Deep arm-drags into arm bars, kept the World Champion off his feet. Locura was smart to wear Pearce's arm down. Locura also mostly stayed grounded during the match, which seems a little out of the ordinary from what I've been told about Locura. The thing about Adam Pearce is he can really get a crowd worked up. Some people do not appreciate the nuances of getting a crowd into a match, but Adam just seems to know the precise timing to shout at a fan or make a gesture to get the crowd back into a match. Pearce perhaps spent a little too much time jaw-jacking with the crowd then concentrating on Locura. And a couple of times Locura looked to have Pearce defeated. Once having Adam pinned, with the champ having the ring presence to put his foot on the rope and another time when Locura had him in a submission only to have Pearce find the ropes again. Pearce a couple of times looked to hit the infamous Superfly Splash made famous by Jimmy Snuka, both times, Pearce was caught climbing to the top. The match ended almost as abruptly as it began, when Pearce was able to hit his signature piledriver. Another fun match with Pearce.
In the main event, history was made at the Oceanside Boys and Girls Club, and if you've been following SoCal Pro closely at all, you are more than aware of the tension that has been brewing between Ricky Mandel and Hector Canales. Former tag team partners. Former SoCal Pro Tag Team Champions. Mandel and Canales used to be like brothers. But that all changed when Ricky Mandel employed the services of one C. Edward Vanderpyle. Vanderpyle known as the manager of champions did infact manage Mandel to the SCP Heavyweight Championship. But at the cost of destroying the friendship between Canales and Mandel. Canales would hunt for an opportunity to seek his vengeance on his former partner through out the past few months, only to finally get him in a one-on-one match up for the SCP Heavyweight Championship. It seemed the odds were heavily stacked against Canales before the bell ever rang, when Tommy Wilson returned to ring side along with Vanderpyle and Mandel to add some color commentating to the match up. Early on the shenanigans of Vanderpyle would lead to Mandel getting the upper hand. The back and forth in the ring would eventually spill out to the crowd, after Referee Everett Scott got caught with a splash into the corner.. Mandel, clutching had the head of Canales, empties one section of seating to toss his one time partner into the seats. Canales would turn the table and throw Mandel over the security barricade and on to the plastic folding chairs. Referee Scott still out of it as Canales would throw Mandel into another set of chairs on the outside. Even making their way to the SoCal Pro Merchandise (which still has the SoCal Pro Collecion of Action Figures, all 5 for $40. Perfect Stocking Stuffers). Canales even launched Mandel into the wall where his face connected with a poster featuring his face for said action figures. The melee on the outside would wind up back in the ring and would lead to Canales winning the SCP Heavyweight Title. And just as Tommy Wilson entered the ring ready to lay waste to the victor. But out came the RockNES Monsters followed by the NWA World Champion, wielding a chair to the rescue. I was almost certain Adam was going to use that chair on Canales, but to his credit, he was there for the celebration. And a celebration did ensue after the match. The faces of the locker room emptied bringing a little bubbly and beer to the ring. And between the champagne showers, Canales invited Mandel the opportunity to face him again at the SoCal Pro next show. During all of this fans around the ring entered to join the party.

The Main Event features the SoCal Pro Heavyweight Championship"The Mirror Image" Ricky Mandel (c) w/ C. Edward Vander Pyle vs. SCP Tag Team Champion Johnny Yuma
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?

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.

NWA Pro/AWS Finale: Record Setting 3 Ring 159 Person Battle Royal

The Alternative Wrestling Show has officially closed its door. The Finale saw new champions crowned but at the end of the night, all the championships became retired. Johnny Goodtime defeated Johnny Paradise to retire the AWS Heavyweight Championship. Sindarin captured the AWS Lightweight Championship from "Pretty" Peter Avalon. And the AWS Tag Team Champions the Ballard Brothers successfully defended the titles against the Suburban Commandos to remain the final champions. AWS Ladies Champion Christina Von Eerie was unable to defend her championship because of her commitments in AAA, but she will remain the last Ladies Champion of AWS.
Scorpio Sky defeated SoCal Crazy and would go on to best 158 other people to stand tall at the end of the night.

Thank You Bart!
March 23rd, 2002. The birth of the Alternative Wrestling Show would come with a co-promoted event with Fuerza Mexicana de Lucha Libre. The launch came at a very competitive time in Southern California Wrestling, active wrestling promotions at the time were Xtreme Pro Wrestling, Ultimate Pro Wrestling, Revolution Pro, Empire Wrestling Federation, World Pro Wrestling, West Coast Wrestling Alliance, Golden State Championship Wrestling, Car-Consumer Pro Wrestling, and seemingly more and more promotions opening up every day. The first event featured a total of six matches. "The Hardcore Kidd" Aaron Aguilera defeated King Jackal. B-Boy defeated Lil' Cholo. Profeta & Dr. Muerte defeated Principe Unlimited & Acero Dorado. Essa Rios bested Piloto Sucida. And in the Main Event, La Parka teaming with Shocker defeated Super Boy and Capitian Oro. A pretty impressive first showing for Bart. The year would be 2005 when Bart's Alternative Wrestling Show would join NWA Pro Wrestling along with the Inoki Dojo. The AWS would host the tournament to crown the first ever NWA Heritage Heavyweight Champion. After over a hundred events and a little over seven years of promoting events, Bart Kaptizke has decided to close the AWS Store and the Alternative Wrestling Show. What Bart has given to the wrestling fans of Southern California will continue to impact this area for years to come, be it something as simple as merchandise, a venue to train, or a venue to host a show. The things Bart has done for this scene are both tangible and intangible. Everyone from Alliance-Wrestling.com would extend our deepest gratitude to Bart. The last event from AWS will be this Saturday 7:30pm and you should make plans to attend this event. The Finale from AWS will feature over 120 Wrestlers in a Three Ring Battle Royal. Also scheduled are title defenses for Johnny Paradise, Peter Avalon, and the Ballard Brothers.
Here is the official statement from the NWA Executive Director Bob Trobich:
On Monday of this week, I spoke to NWA Worlds Champion Adam Pearce for Alliance Radio. The interview was about several topics involving the National Wrestling Alliance, but also focuses quite a bit on Pearce's upcoming defenses in SoCal Pro Wrestling and Millennium Pro Wrestling. Adam also shares his gratitude for Bart and AWS. If you'd like to listen follow the link http://www.blogtalkradio.com/alliance-wrestling. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the great job that Lalo Ramirez did talking to Bart on Empire Wrestling Radio Saturday. You can still find the show here http://kcaaradio.celestrion.net/kcaa-podcasts/wrestling/20100612.html. Check it out, it is a great listen and gives you a little bit of history of SoCal.
Thank You Bart!
Here is the official statement from the NWA Executive Director Bob Trobich:
“The National Wrestling Alliance would like to congratulate Bart Kapitzke on his incredible run at AWS as a part of the NWA family. In honor of his attempt to close his operations with a record setting Battle Royal we would like to announce that all retired professional wrestlers are allowed to participate in one battle royal event per calendar year without losing their retired status.”

Los Luchas (Ph...oenix Star & Zokre) v. RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime & Johnny Yuma)
- Unlike M1W Tag Team Champions, Natural Selection, who have chosen to take the night before their big title defense off to rest up, the number one contenders, RockNES Monsters have chosen to take on Los Luchas to keep them on top of their game and prepare for their big challenge at "Slam and Jam" on April 3rd.
Andrew Hellman v. Johnny Paradise
- Johnny Paradise made his M1W debut last week by winning the SoCal Invitational Battle Royal and garnering an M1W Title Match against Willie Mack. Although unsuccessful in his quest for the title, Paradise impressed M1W officials and has been given another shot against M1W favorite Andrew Hellman.
Slam and Jam Preview Match
Joey Ryan & Mikey Callahan (w/ C. Edward Vanderpyle) v. "Pretty" Peter Avalon & Kyle Webb (w/ Mr. Biggz & David Troy)
- Ryan & Avalon and Callahan & Webb have individually been at odds in recent weeks but two weeks ago all four of these men crossed paths in a match pitting Ryan against Webb. Now, these men are scheduled to resolve their individual issues at "Slam and Jam" on April 3rd and will preview that action in this tag team contest.
Scorpio Sky v. Brandon Parker
- Scorpio Sky has two big challenges this weekend and is looking to catapult himself back into title contention by scoring two big wins. His first challenge is the young and hungry Brandon Parker who has nothing to lose and everything to gain by scoring a win against a man the caliber of Scorpio Sky.
Ryan Taylor v. Jarek Matthews
- Jarek Matthews is returning to M1W for the first time since joining M1W's Wrestling 101 training school and is looking to show off his new abilities but will not have an easy task as he takes on Ryan Taylor.
M1W Wrestling 101 Student Showcase
Jacob Diez v. Cedric The Hitman
- Both men are previously established wrestlers and both men have enrolled in M1W's Wrestling 101 training school to further their abilities. Both are looking to combine their previous craft with their newly acquired skills to gain victory and climb the M1W ladder.

================================================== =
**NWA Pro/Mach-1 Wrestling presents "Saturday Showcase" on Saturday, April 3rd at 2pm in Anaheim, CA!**
In the tradition of “Lite Shows,” “Saturday Showcase” will be a mixture of students looking to cut their teeth, experienced wrestlers looking to try-out for the “Friday Fight Night” shows and talent from the regular M1W roster looking to get some extra ring time and help with the students progression. For the most part these shows will be presented without traditional angles or storylines and the wrestlers will be encouraged to try new looks and new techniques or display their talent to the M1W brass for the first time, all in an effort to work their way onto the main M1W roster.
“Saturday Showcase” will be FREE of charge for those fans looking to attend and get an early look at the upcoming wrestlers of tomorrow as well as a few surprise appearances by wrestlers whom you already know and love. Due to the nature of these shows, the cards will largely be established the day of, so there will rarely be matches announced ahead of time. They will be held promptly on Saturday afternoons at 2:00 PM with doors opening at 1:45 PM from the American Sports Center at 1500 S. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92805.
Wrestlers looking to inquire about a potential spot on “Saturday Showcase” are in encouraged to email info@m1wrestling.com with "Showcase" in the subject line for the details.

**NWA Pro/Mach-1 Wrestling presents "Slam and Jam" on Saturday, April 3rd at 8:00pm in Anaheim, CA!**
Main Event - M1W Championship Match
Willie Mack (c) v. James Morgan
- This is the big one! After months and months of being at eachothers throats, Mack and Morgan will finally collide in what is sure to be hard hitting and intense action for the richest prize in M1W.
M1W Tag Team Championship Match
Natural Selection (Brian Cage & Shawn Rickers) v. RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime & Johnny Yuma)
- A rematch from the finals on the tournament to crown the first ever M1W Tag Team Champions in which Natural Selection won under questionable means. Will the Monsters be able to overcome the power of Natural Selection or will Cage & Rickers finally rid themselves of the Monsters once and for all?
Student v. Student Grudge Match
Mikey Callahan v. Kyle Webb
- Two of the top students at M1W's Wrestling 101, these two have formed a bitter rivalry over the past few weeks and both are looking to settle the score and prove once and for all who the better man is.
Tag Team Match
Joey Ryan & C. Edward Vanderpyle v. "Pretty" Peter Avalon & Mr. Biggz
- Ryan and Avalon have traded wins in recent matches but both were by disqualification due to outside interference from each of their managers. On top of the differences between Ryan and Avalon, things have gotten personal between Vanderpyle and Biggz recently when Biggz attacked Vanderpyle during an arm wrestling contest between the two. The NWA Board of Directors and M1W Brass saw that Vanderpyle and Biggz were eager to get into the action themselves and obliged them by signing this match.
Scorpio Sky v. Johnny Paradise
- M1W favorite Scorpio Sky takes on M1W newcomer Johnny Paradise in a match where both men will look to knock off the other in their individual quests for glory in an M1W ring.
Disco Machine v. Jacob Diez
- Jacob Diez has been eager to take on all challenges since joining M1W's Wrestling 101 and reinventing himself, but this could be his biggest challenge to date as he takes on the ever unpredictable veteran in Disco Machine.
