OOWF Saturday Slam – Aug, 26, 2023 – Aug. 28, 2023 OOWF Arena – Asheville, North Carolina
• Jeff Mangyuniku vs. Rory Thomas Cold open with both men already in the ring and Davis Hightower signaling for the bell. Rory charges, but is met with a stiff superkick from Jeff that gets 2. Rory rolls out while checking his jaw as Jeff teases a dive to the outside. Rory rolls back in and ducks a big boot from Jeff, catching the leg and trying to stand up into a stretch muffler before Jeff fights his way out. Jeff spins into a backfist from Rory that gets 2. Rory heads to the ropes and leaps off with something in mind, but is caught by a just-now-upright Jeff and tossed across the ring via overhead suplex. Rory, ever the persistent one, races toward Jeff again, only to be stopped in his tracks with a crescent kick to the temple. Jeff covers and gets 2. As Jeff attempts to get Rory to a vertical base, Rory pulls Jeff down into a small package that gets 2 before Jeff shifts his hips and gets 3 with Rory escaping at 3.01.
Your winner (pinfall, 3:08), Jeff Mangyuniku!
Afterward, Jeff offers a handshake to Rory, which is accepted, though Rory is visibly less than pleased with the outcome.
• Mac Flasher and Sandra Fallon vs. Nuke and Annie Horvath “Hate Breeders” plays with Nuke and Annie emerging from behind the curtain. Nuke trades verbal barbs with ringside fans. “Surf Wax America” plays out Sandra, who waits atop the ramp as “I Get Wet” breaks in, announcing Mac. Mac and Sandra nod and charge the ring with Sandra pairing off with Annie and Mac with Nuke. While Mac and Nuke are fairly even in their brawl, Sandra quickly outclasses Annie with a clothesline finishing a flurry of offense and also sending Annie over the top rope. From there, Sandra and Mac team up to pinball Nuke with right hands with a particularly stiff jab from Mac sending Nuke over the top rope. While Mac and Sandra pose, Nuke exits the ringside area in a huff, leaving a very confused Annie behind. Annie reluctantly reenters the ring with Sandra staying in for her team. Sandra floors Annie with a discus Polish Hammer before tagging in Mac, who signals for a Flash Drive. Mac lifts Annie upward only for Nuke to rush back in and yank Annie down. As Mac turns around, Nuke blasts Mac in the face with the flame from a propane torch as Angelo Barros frantically calls for the bell.
Your winners (disqualification, 4:21), the team of Mac Flasher and Sandra Fallon!
Afterward, Annie questions Nuke’s actions while Sandra checks on Mac. Sandra then confronts Nuke, only for an enraged Mac to barrel into Nuke and trigger a wild ringside brawl as Annie and Sandra are doing what they can to pull away their respective partners. Mac drills Nuke with a roundhouse kick and then looks for a pile driver on the announce table before OOWF officials and security finally break up the fight. Mac, who had his eyebrows singed, but otherwise appears unharmed tries to get after Nuke, but can’t get past the human barricade.
• Zed and Sean Franklin vs. The One-Notes The One-Notes are already in the ring as “Enemy” by Imagine Dragons starts to play, and Sean Franklin emerges onto the entrance ramp in his standard red singlet … and then stops. He looks around, waiting for Zed to emerge, but he doesn’t right away. Just as it appears he’s starting to get a little uneasy, floodlights in the arena turn red, and the music flips.
Zed steps out as the music plays, wearing red tights with gold trim. On the side of his left leg is TIO written in white and purple lettering, with ZED on the other leg in similar fashion.
Sean eyes Zed and offers nothing more than a knowing smirk, and Zed shakes his head a bit before giving a fist bump and they make their way to the ring.
Razz: That’s definitely a more vibrant outfit than we’re used to seeing from Zed. Russ: There have been many cold days in the hell of OOWF, but seeing Zed, the lifelong Tar Heel at heart, wearing red might be one of the coldest. Razz: But what better way to establish he’s committed to working with Sean and making this team work? Russ: Or that he’s the biggest sucker here.
Sean starts in the ring, and quickly overpowers Carrie … she could probably hold her own if this were a grappling matchup, but Sean uses his strength to toss Carrie around the ring. After bringing Carrie to the mat with a spinebuster, Sean tags in Zed.
Zed isn’t able to get in the ring fast enough to prevent Carrie crawling over to sneak in a tag to Harper, but he grins, shrugs his shoulders, and runs in to clothesline Harper. Harper scouts it out, however, going low with, for lack of a better description, a chop block on Zed. Seeing an opportunity, Harper, stomps repeatedly on Zed’s leg, but Zed is able to roll out of the ring.
Harper begins to charge towards the ropes to follow Zed, but BRICK~! steps in front of Zed, probably more to Zed’s chagrin than Harper’s. Zed waves BRICK~! off and climbs back into the ring. Harper goes full-steam towards Zed again, but this time it’s Zed who ducks and connects with a Pele kick.
Zed backs Harper into his team’s corner with a series of chops, then tags in Sean. Zed hits the Moment of Zed on his way out of the ring, then Sean steps in and hits his Full Nelson Slam, cover, one, two, THREE.
Your winners (6:12; pinfall), Sean Franklin and Zed.
Zed and Sean share a smile and a hug after the win, with Zed then lifting Sean’s arm in victory before making their way backstage.
• OOWF World Championship qualifier: Alexander Darling vs. Beverly Cambridge The bell rings with Alexander and Beverly fighting over an Irish whip, which Alexander wins. Beverly tries to leap over Alexander, who ducked a second too early, but jams her ankle on the landing, immediately clutching the injured leg. Alexander takes a second to process, but immediately lunges in to take advantage, only to have Ben Coleman step in front before checking on Beverly. Coleman then signals for medical assistance while Alexander tries to continue the match against the wounded Beverly. Coleman then waves off the match with Alexander raising his arms in victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, referee Ben Coleman has determined that Beverly Cambridge is unable to continue, therefore he …
“Just a Girl” interrupts before Mike Elevenbee can finish his statement, bringing out Lindsay McAllister, with a smile on her face. Suddenly the OOWFTron pops on to a feed from inside the Junior Executive’s office with Shizuru-Mune Mangyuniku-Cox sitting at his desk.
SHIZURU-MUNE: “Due to the unfortunate injury that occurred very early in tonight’s scheduled match, I have been given the authority to set up a match for the next edition of Saturday Slam on September 9 between Alexander Darling and Lindsay McAllister, with the winner moving on to face Lexie Darling for her OOWF World Championship at Hell on Earth on Sept. 23.”
Alexander is apoplectic, protesting loudly that he had already defeated Beverly while Lindsay smiles from the ramp.
• Lexie Darling and Lindsay McAllister vs. The Frenemies All four combatants shake hands before the bell is called for by Mel Creech. At the bell, Lexie and Lindsay hit stereo superkicks and salute the crowd before Bridget and Kylie land superkicks of their own. Lindsay follows with a corner splash on Kylie that gets a flash 2 before Bridget saves. Lindsay and Lexie trade tags and work a chin lock on Kylie before she fights her way out and tags in Bridget, who elbows her way through both Lindsay and Lexie before a running crossbody gets 2 on Lexie. Bridget continues her rampage with clotheslines but gets caught by a rebound lariat from Lexie and a 450 from Lindsay that gets 2.5 before Kylie makes the save. Lexie and Lindsay trap Bridget in the corner and deliver back-to-back corner splashes. Bridget falls forward, but grabs an armbar attempt on Lindsay during her cover try. Lindsay escapes and rolls away while Bridget tags in Kylie, who leaps off the apron to deliver a meteora to Lindsay on the outside. Kylie rolls Lindsay back into the ring, but eats a one-step baseball slide after taking a second too long to egg on the fans in attendance cheering for The Frenemies. Lexie and Lindsay work quick tags, setting Kylie up in tandem attacks, getting a series of 2-counts in the process. A double power bomb is thwarted as Kylie reverse and attempts to lock both into an STF, but both are able to pull away with ease. Kylie, mostly spent, tries to stand herself up in the corner, but gets chopped back down by Lexie. A Northern Lights suplex gets 2 before Lindsay tries an STF of her own.
Kylie attempts to reach the ropes, but cannot extend her arm long enough. Finally she reaches her free hand upward and facewashes Lindsay until she bites down on her fingers, prompting Creech to call for a break. Kylie, in a last-gasp, surges up and hits an exploder on Lindsay before diving to make the page to Bridget, who enters with a series of superkicks and half-moon kicks. Bridget nails both with an O’Mallet and then pulls Lindsay in for a Red Death Elbow, that gets 2.5 after Lexie makes the save. As Bridget looks toward Creech to question his counting speed, Lexie and Lindsay drill Bridget with a double dropkick. Lindsay follows with a moonsault that catches knees. Lexie and Kylie begin battling on the outside with Bridget and Lindsay slowly getting to their feet. The two on the inside grapple with both trying to gain the advantage through a backslide, which the taller Bridget wins and gets a stunning 3.
Your winners (pinfall, 10:48), The Frenemies!
Afterward, Bridget joins the fight on the outside as Lindsay is quick to follow. The four battle their way up the ramp as officials and security stand by before Josie runs out, pleading for cooler heads to prevail.
• War Games-like Match: Pete Quick, Angie Delpetro, Liam, Nigel and Awesome Bill From Dawsonville vs. Jack Quinn, PORK, Katie Bardoor and The Woodsmen ”Kingmaker” plays and Pete Quick leads his team to the ring. He is accompanied by Angie Delpetro, Mr. Nigel, Mr. Liam and a reluctant Awesome Bill From Dawsonville.
Russ: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to War Games/the Match Beyond! The set up for this is a little different, the ring is surrounded by a cage, which is then surrounded by a Hell in a Cell cage. For the War Games portion of the match, the door on the inner cage will remain locked until all ten participants are in the ring. Pinfalls or submissions mean nothing. The match cannot end until everyone is in. Once they are all in, the door will be unlocked, allowing everyone to get to the plunder scattered around and under the ring. Razz: Matches like these make me glad I am retired Russ
”Symphony of Destruction” plays and Shokan Dojo comes out and Jack, Katie and PORK are all wearing their animal themed head gear (and Jack is wearing a Double Cross Ranch t-shirt. The Woodsmen join them and the five make their way to the ring
Russ: like everyone else tonight, you see the OOWF paying tribute to Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt who have both left us far too soon. Razz: The stories I could tell about Terry … Russ: Folks, it looks like Mr. Nigel is going to start things for Team Quick Razz: Nigel is MASSIVE, dude’s gotta be, what, six three? Three hundred pounds, easily?
Nigel steps into the cage and walks right over to Katie and blows a kiss at her. The discussion over who goes in first immediately ends. Katie climbs into the cage, steps between the ropes and pulls her shirt off, and the crowd goes NUTS!
Razz: SHIRT OFF, FISTS UP!
Nigel looks amused as Katie squares up with him and he reaches out and pats her on the top of the head, drawing a huge gasp from the crowd. Katie turns and hits him with a straight left to the nose, immediately breaking Nigel’s nose! Blood pours down his face as he grab his nose, Katie kicks him on the side of the knee, dropping him to his knees, then grabs his head and SLAMS it into her knee, dropping him flat to his back. Katie mounts him and hammers him with straight punches to the face. She gets to her feet and Nigel looks stunned, he gets to one knee and Katie charges across the ring and catches him with a falling clothesline that slams the back of his head against the mat.
Katie pulls Nigel to his feet and sends him into the cage, as he rebounds, Katie tries a clothesline, but Nigel ducks and hits the ropes and KILLS Katie on the rebound with a clothesline from hell! Nigel tries to wipe the blood from his face, and gets angry and as Katie stands up, he charges off the ropes and lands a boot to the side of the head that sends Katie into the ropes, she catches herself on the top rope, turns and looks at Nigel and wipes her cheek, then flips Nigel off. The two of them meet in the middle of the ring and we have a good old fashioned hockey fight!
The timer goes off and Mr. Liam heads into the cage.
Russ: This is not good for Katie Razz: Katie is one of the toughest wrestlers in this company, but even SHE can’t withstand this!
As Liam is coming into the cage, Katie rakes Nigel’s eyes and kicks him in the jewels, then darts over and catches Liam with a right cross to the jaw, Liam staggers and Katie whips him to the ropes and catches him with a powerslam on the rebound. She gets to her feet and avoids a clothesline from Nigel and hits him with an inverted atomic drop, then bounds off the ropes and lays Nigel out with a double axe handle to the face!
Katie turns around and eats a SPEAR from Liam. He puts the boots to Katie while Nigel recovers, then the two of them team up and throw Katie into the cage. Nigel holds Katie’s face against the cage, raking it across the steel repeatedly, he snaps her off the ropes and she staggers right into a SISTER ABIGAIL from Liam!
Liam and Nigel take turns throwing Katie into the cage until her face is a mask of blood. Big mistake. As they pose and play the crowd, Katie wipes the blood from her face and gets a sick grin on her face. Katie walks up behind them and sends Liam to dick kick city and plants him with a DDT. Nigel tries to drop a leg as Katie is down, but she moves out of the way and grabs Nigel, scoops him up and ties him into the tree of woe, Katie gets a running start and drives a knee into Nigel’s gut. She gets up and turns around as Nigel flies through the air and BLASTS her with a shining wizard, sending Katie staggering, falling between the ropes and the cage!
The buzzer goes off and Dakota of the Woodsmen comes into the cage.
Razz: Well, this is going to be interesting Russ: No love lost between Katie and the Woodsmen
Dakota steps through the cage door, and pauses a moment for the kazoo fanfare, then ducks a clothesline from Nigel, and takes him to the mat with a snapmare, then connects with a kick to the back of the head. Liam tries to attack, but Dakota traps him and hits a t-bone suplex that drops Liam on his head. As Nigel gets to his feet, Dakota grabs him and throws him toward the cage, Nigel hits the cage face first and staggers backward, Dakota lifts him onto his shoulders, and Katie climbs the turnbuckle and hits the DOOMSDAY DEVICE!
Razz: Holy crap they worked together! Russ: This is not what I was expecting!
Katie starts to grab Liam when Dakota stops her. He reaches into her back pocket and pulls out a flask, which makes Katie raise an eyebrow, but then Dakota points to the H2O label. He takes a long drink and passes it to Katie, who just stares at him, then takes a long swig.
Russ: There’s no denying hydration is important Razz: Not sure Team Quick has enough heat to worry about cramps just yet
Liam is back on his feet, and he rakes Katie’s eyes, then catches Dakota with a low blow, sends him into the cage, and catches him on the rebound with a spinning lariat, then lifts him and hits a PILEDRIVER! Dakota hits HARD and lies motionless on the mat. Katie gets her vision back and takes a step toward the downed Dakota, when she is blindsided by Nigel with a clubbing shot to the back of the neck. Nigel grabs Katie and hits a POWERBOMB!
The buzzer goes off and Angie Delpetro makes her way into the ring
Russ: Now is when it gets bad. Dakota and Katie are BOTH down, and Quick has the man advantage! Razz: This could get ugly in a hurry
Angie tells Liam and Nigel to life Dakota to his feet and she BLASTS him with a superkick to the jaw. They do the same to Katie, then they stand over them gloating. Angie hits a few disrespectful slaps to the back of Katie’s head while Nigel and Liam work Dakota over in the corner. Katie tries to get to her feet, but every time she does, Angie kicks her sending her back to the mat. Delpetro chokes Katie on the bottom rope and peppers her with crossfaces that seem to draw more blood.
On the other side of the ring, Nigel and Liam whip Dakota into the opposite corner, he hits chest first and staggers backward and Nigel lifts him and hits a BURNING HAMMER!
Russ: GOOD GAWD DAKOTA MIGHT BE DEAD!
Angie pulls Katie to her feet and shoves her into the corner. She slowly walks to the opposite corner and taunts Katie before charging with a HELLUVA KICK! But Katie avoids the kick and reverses it into a urinage slamming Angie to the mat! Liam and Nigel immediately storm over and put the boots to Katie. They set her up for a tandem powerbomb when the buzzer goes off, and to great kazoo fanfare, HUNTER climbs into the ring!
Hunter chop blocks Nigel’s knee sending him to the mat. He then peppers Liam with forearms to the side of the head, he sends Liam to the ropes and Dakota appears out of nowhere and they hit the ROUGH RIDER! (FTR’s Big Rig) They pop o their feet as Nigel charges and they hit him with a double flapjack! With both Liam and Nigel down, the Woodsmen each grab a leg and begin to ROW THE BOAT! (look it up, great old double team move) Angie struggles to her feet and turns around to come face to face with Katie.
Russ: I believe Mrs. Delpetro is about to have an out of body experience Razz: As in, Katie might just tear her spine out of her body
Katie hammers Angie with punches to the face, then sends her into all four sides of the cage. As Angie bounces off the last one, she staggers toward Katie, blood streaming down her face, takes a swing, then does the Flair flop face first to the mat and the crowd pops huge. The Woodsmen pull Nigel and Liam to their feet and hit matching atomic drops that almost send them into one another, but they stop and are about to hug it out when Katie grabs them, DOUBLE NOGGIN KNOCKER! Liam and Nigel are down, outside the ring Quick is BESIDE himself with rage. He is shouting directions to Bill, and shoves him toward the door when the buzzer goes off.
Bill climbs into the ring, almost reluctantly, and sizes up his odds.
Razz: Can’t say I blame him, it’s three on one at the moment!
The Woodsmen stop and decide that they should play rock, paper scissor to decide who should face Bill. Katie looks at them like she would like to murder them. They do and Hunter wins. The Woodsmen shake hands and Hunter goes to lock up with Bill, but Nigel and Liam are somehow back on their feet and they attack Katie and Dakota from behind. Dakota tries to save his partners, but Bill grabs him from behind and takes him to the mat and works and arm bar, keeping Hunter on the mat.
Katie is holding her own against Nigel, but Angie hits her from behind. Katie gets a spurt of energy and fights back, lifting Angie for a suplex, then dropping her on the top rope. She turns around and Nigel tries a spear, but Nigel sidesteps it and spears Angie into the cage! Across the ring, Dakota has Liam in the corner and he hits the ten forearms of doom, but on the last one, Liam lifts him and powerbombs him to the mat. Liam climbs the ropes and motions for an elbow drop, he leaps, but Dakota moves and Liam crashes and burns! Dakota locks on the Indigenous Person Death Lock. Katie and Dakota struggle to their feet and we see Bill is still working the arm bar, Hunter is selling it like he is about to die and is about to tap out when Dakota drops to his knees and stops his hand from hitting the mat!
Russ: I mean … he can’t submit yet Razz: It’s symbolic, Russ
Spurred on by his partner, while Katie keeps Nigel, Angie and Liam on the mat with kicks to the face, Hunter HUNTERS UP TO HIS FEET! He stands and points at Bill, who looks confused, YOU!!!
The buzzer goes off and PORK comes in! PORK drops Bill with a clothesline, then hits Nigel and Liam in the corners with avalanche clotheslines. Katie grabs Angie and sends her into the corner and PORK charges in and crushes her with a CANNONBALL! PORK is on FIRE! He grabs Bill and throws him into the corner and lights him up with PORK CHOPS! The match breaks down and we have absolute chaos in the ring. Katie and PORK fight with Nigel and Liam on the other side of the ring, the Woodsmen square off with Angie and Bill. Angie grabs Hunter and tells Bill to throw him into the cage, Bill grabs him, but then takes him over with a side headlock and keeps him on the mat, really wrenching on the hold.
Razz: Who the hell does he think he is? Strangler Lewis? Russ: I am not sure Bill could spell Strangler Lewis if you spotted him all the letters and told him what order they went in.
Angie looks a bit annoyed at Bill, which allows Dakota to scoop her up and slam her on the mat. Dakota heads to the top rope, but gets cut off by Angie, who DROPS him on the top turnbuckle with a BRAINBUSTER! While trapped in the devastating headlock of doom, Hunter sees his partner nearly die and once again Hunter’s up and takes Bill to the mat with a belly to back suplex! On the other side of the ring, PORK grabs the massive Nigel and hits a buckle bomb, then catches him with a release overhead suplex that sends Nnigel crashing into the mat. Angie swoops in and tries a hurracarana on PORK, but he holds onto her and slings her into the cage! The crowd is ROARING for PORK!
The buzzer goes off and Pete Quick steps through the door.
Razz: Why is he wearing a black glove? Russ: Who does he think he is? Ted DiBiase? Razz: Damn Russ, Strangler Lewis and Ted DiBiase? Really appealing to the young audience our there ain’t ya?
Quick comes in and grabs PORK and nails him with the black gloved fist to the face. PORK drops to one knee, Quick hits him again and he goes down, with blood trickling from a gash on his forehead. Quick uses the glove to quickly dispatch of Katie and the Woodsmen, leaving them all bloodied, or in Katie’s case, bloodier. Angie, Nigel and Liam revel in it, putting the boots to everyone, while Bill stands in the corner looking rather uncertain about the whole thing. Quick is barking orders at him, and Bill heads to the top rope and hits a diving headbutt on PORK. Quick calls for more, getting Liam and Nigel to pull an exhausted Katie to her feet, Bill heads to the top rope again and hits a flying clothesline.
Quick cackles with glee and grabs Katie and pulls her over to where Jack is standing, waiting to get into the match. He chokes her on the bottom rope and screams at Jack “LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE! LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE! Quick hits the ropes and drops a knee across the back of Katie’s head, then spits on Jack, who snarls with rage.
The buzzer goes off, and Jack’s snarl turns into a wicked grin.
Russ: Folks welcome to the Match Beyond! Now pin falls and submissions count. No disqualification, no countout, no rules!
He heads toward the door and Quick dashes across the ring and pulls a chain from his pocket and padlocks the door!
Razz: He locked Jack out! They are going to end the careers of the Woodsmen and War Pigs! Russ: This was exactly the plan all along!
Bill tries to argue with Quick to unlock the door, but he directs Bill to help with the beat down, which he does, reluctantly. Outside the ring, Jack is trying to get the door open, but cannot, so he starts climbing, but every time he starts up the side of the ramp, Quick climbs the opposite side and kicks the chair and sends him to the floor. Jack is quickly losing patience with it. Bill sees what is going on and once again tries to get Quick to open the door. Quick gets in Bill’s face and tells him to do as he says, Bill shoves him to the mat, which pops the hell out of the crowd, while that is going on, Jack is able to climb the cage and gets into the ring and IMMEDIATELY charges at Quick, who runs and hides behind Liam and Nigel.
Jack goes nuts and attacks everyone. PORK finally gets to his feet and walks over to the door, where officials are trying to open the lock, PORK reaches down, looks at it, then gives the chain one hard tug and the chain pops off and the door swings open! PORK walks out and starts throwing trash cans full of plunder into the ring.
The match continues on, but Quick manages to mostly escape the wrath of Jack. The match goes on for another thirty minutes with all ten wrestlers fighting in and out of the ring. Jack gets a few shots in on Quick, but he weasels free every time. The Woodsmen nearly get the win after a BULLY BOMB on Bill, but the IC champ kicked out at two. After nearly an hour of an out of control brawl, all ten wrestlers are exhausted, there are broken tables, chairs and ladders everywhere, kendo sticks, you name it. Quick tears off his TF/BW arm band and uses it to choke Hunter, drawing HUGE boos from the crowd. After Quick blindsides Jack with a shot from his gloved fist, he has Liam and Nigel hold Jack while he tears off Jack’s Funk U shirt (drawing more heat). The camera catches a good shot of Jack’s back, which is still deeply scarred from the last match. Quick pulls off his belt and begins whipping Jack, but PORK and Dakota put a stop to that.
The end finally comes when the Woodsmen reach into one of the cans and they pull something out … it’s the TAPOUT TENT! They quickly construct it and grab Liam and throw him inside. Dakota and Hunter follow him in, Dakota zips the tent and we hear Liam screaming in agony. While Jack and Bill fight in one corner and PORK and Quick fight in another, Angie escapes Jack with a kick to the jewels. She climbs to the top rope and hits a SWANTON BOMB on the TAPOUT TENT The tent collapses and Angie, Liam and the Woodsmen remain in the wreckage. Jack staggers around the ring and reaches into a can and pulls out …
Russ: Is that … Razz: IT’S HAPPY DETH BAT!
Jack points it at Quick, and Quick runs. He leaves the cage and starts climbing the outer cage to get away. Jack grabs Angie by the leg and pulls her off the wreckage and traps her in the crippler crossface using HDB across Angie’s face to pull her back, Angie IMMEDIATELY taps out!
