I Heard on the Radio there are Rumors of War, Black Terry is Getting Ready For Battle

Black Terry v. Rocky Santana EMLL 1/4/04-FUN

This appeared to be either an impromptu challenge after a tag, or the result of a ruleta match. Short 8 minute or so brawl, both guys showed some spunk. Terry put on a nice looking figure fourish leg lock and Rocky hit a flip dive off the ring apron. I am going to enjoy a tough little brawl between old grizzled luchadores always, but there was nothing here which made Terry stand out particularly. These guys had two other hair matches in Arena Lopez Matos which I am sure got more time. If footage showed up, we would get a better sense of what the matchup could deliver.

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE BLACK TERRY

NWA Wildside- Throwback Review Episode 39

http://www.twnworldwide.tv/nwawildside39.html

6/5/00

Steve Martin (not working a Steve Martin gimmick) starts in the ring, and he cuts a promo about how he started NCW, but has lost it all thanks to Bill Behrens. He calls out Bad Attitude, tells Rick Michaels that they started in wrestling together, trained AJ Styles and he turned his back on them. He gives what is left of NCW to Michaels and quits the wrestling business.

Scottie Wren v. Stone Mountain

Wren calls out Mounain and they have an impromptu match. There was some back and forth at DVDVR whether Stone Mountain was Abyss, I am not sure, but he does suck like Abyss. Short match with Wren bailing to the back after getting hit by the landslide.

Jeff G. Bailey and AJ Styles brag about Steven Martin leaving the promotion.

Rusty Riddle v. Sean Royal

These guys would go on to form the tag team Total Destruction, this was before that. The announcer mention that Royal hadn't wrestled in 7 years, and how the New Breed's first match was against Rusty Riddle. Total Destruction was a brawling biker tag team, but this wasn't worked like biker v. biker. Royal was doing all kinds of weird submission moves on Riddle's leg including the Great Muta bridging indian death lock. Riddle is able to take over and hit a rope walk bulldog for a pin. Post match Royal puts him in a crazy lucha leg stretch and has to be dragged off. I am not sure whether it was a good match, but it was certainly entertaining.

Christopher Sampson comes out to demonstrate his Christian strength, by ripping a phone book apart. Terry Knight comes out and talks about people invading wrestling with their Christian strength demonstrations. Amusing old school wrestling angle, capped off by Sampson telling Knights valet that she was too beautiful inside to wear revealing clothes, and that a man will never love a woman he can't respect.

Jesse Taylor v. Thunder

Thunder is Jeff G. Bailey's surprise opponent. I would guess that he is of Thunder and Lightening fame. He is a pretty entertaining crowbar, as he really chucked Taylor around the ring. Taylor had some nice comebacks and had him beat with a belly to belly before the NWA Elite ran in, which lead to a show closing brawl with the babyfaces. Enjoyable little match

Nothing must see on this show, although I enjoyed both Riddle v. Royal and Taylor v. Thunder
