EFW Wrestling: November 2008

Non-Televised Results from the EFW November House Show November 15th, 2008

Homeless Hank def. Chad Hotti - Coming off his loss against Casey Chase at R3LOAD, Homeless Hank squared off against Chad Hotti in the opening bout of the night. Hotti has still not been able to grab the attention of the EFW roster and looked to changed that against Hank, who as of late has been on a streak of momentum. Hank started off the match with a flurry of strikes and offense, which changed when Hotti nailed a facebuster followed with a top rope leg drop. After a couple of exchanges Hank put Hotti in the abdominal stretch and then took the fight to the outside. Hotti went back in and connected with a running elbow to Hank followed up with a choke on the ropes. Hotti continued to taunt his opponent only to receive a vicious chop and more punches. Hotti sneaked in a rollup but only got a 2 count. Hank came back with a clothesline and then busted Chad open with a couple punches on the ground. Soon after Hank connected with the Stink Bomb and the pinfall victory.

Warrant def. El Macho Lobsto - Warrant, since becoming the EFW Hardcore Champion, has been on a tear showing his aggressive nature in his title defenses. This match was not for the Hardcore Title but it still showed in this match. Lobsto never entirely had a chance in this match as Warrant was on the offensive for the majority of the contest. The finish came when Warrant grabbed a chair from ringside and delivered a sick Rocket Launcher Chokeslam to Lobsto from the top rope onto the chair below, followed by the pinfall.

Diamond Dave def. Don Rudy by Countout - The EFW LH Champion Diamond Dave was more concerned with the following match to decide if he will be defending the title and against who at the next EFW event in the #1 contender's battle royal. Rudy started out with some offense until Diamond Dave started working over the knee of Rudy. Rudy came back with a bulldog and slapped on a sharpshooter, only for Dave to sneak out and once again target Rudy's knee. Diamond Dave turned his attention to some dirty tactics by choking his opponent and later capitalizing on a reverse DDT. Rudy fought back with a falling powerslam and then an elbow drop from the top rope. It had appeared that this would be the opening Rudy was looking for until Dick Handsome made his presence known with a belly-to-belly suplex on Rudy. Diamond Dave sent Rudy to the outside where Dick Handsome worked him over on the outside. The referee completed the 10 count and sealed a very deplorable countout victory for Diamond Dave.

Dylan Royal wins the #1 Contender Battle Royal for the LH Title def. Dick Handsome, GarrettSYCO, Hans, Jamal Darnell, and Danny Young - The stipulation for this match was that if Dick Handsome won this match, then Diamond Dave would not have to defend his LH Title at the next EFW event. If anyone else won, they would face Diamond Dave for the title with Dick Handsome banned from ringside. Hans and Dick went after Garrett on a double team attack to start the match. Dick showed off his power by press slamming Danny Young out of the ring for the first elimination of the battle royal. Dylan nearly pushed Garrett over the ropes for elimination #2 but he fought out of it. As the match progressed Dick Handsome stayed out of the fray as much as possible. Dylan chucked Jamal Darnell over the top rope, but thanks to an assist from Garrett Jamal was eliminated. That alliance was quickly broken up when Dylan Royal dumped Garrett over the ropes and to the floor, leaving only Dylan Royal, Hans, and Dick Handsome in the contest. Dylan and Hans almost were able to knock Dick Handsome but he hung on. Dick and Hans returned to their team strategy with a double DDT on Dylan. That quickly ended when Dick sent Hans into the turnbuckle, but Hans came back with a neckbreaker. Dylan came very close to eliminating Hans, even with the unlikely assistance of Dick Handsome, but Hans somehow slide back in and kept his opportunity alive. Hans threw Dick Handsome over the ropes and both he and Dylan shoved the "Sexiest Man in EFW" over the ropes to a thunderous ovation. It meant that Diamond Dave would be defending against either Hans or Dylan Royal. The end came when Dylan connected with the Straight Jacket Brainbuster and tossed Hans over the top rope, winning and getting a shot at Diamond Dave for the LH Title without any outside interference.

Justin Springer & Megan LaRae def. Carlos Anderson & Kenzan Kotasu by submission - Anderson, the current EFW North American champion, already holds a victory over Springer from the September House Show. Japanese female wrestler "The Hydra" Kenzan Kotasu made her first encounter with the supposid dominate female in EFW Megan LaRae. Anderson went to the offense quickly on Springer as the two women brawled around the ring. This was highlighted by a massive backbreaker from Anderson to Megan LaRae. The two men took their turn on the outside while Megan hit an elbow from the top on Kenzan. Springer got a hold of Kenzan and applied a shoulderlock while Anderson hit Megan with a drop kick from the top. Megan sent Anderson into the corner and sent him down with a headscissors takedown. It looked like Carlos may have came close to landing on his head, but he was out cold for Megan to make a pinfall. During this time Springer applied a single leg crab submission to Kenzan who had no choice but to tapout.
(Editor's note: interestingly enough the referee acknowledged the tapout but the match stopped after the pinfall was counted. The results have been adjusted and Springer is credited with the submission victory.)

Mike Envy (w/ Steve Cabana) def. Sean Broman - Before this match took place, it was announced that Cabana and Envy will be defending their EFW Tag Team titles against Broman and the loser of the World Title #1 contender's match following this contest. Envy went after Broman with various attacks on Broman's leg while Cabana looked on from ringside. Broman made the mistake of exiting the ring where he was met by a double team from Cabana and Envy. Back in the ring Envy continued the onslaught with a back suplex. Broman tossed Envy into the corner and came after with shoulder charges, but quickly turned his attention to Cabana outside. After some more outside attacks from Cabana and Envy, Envy nailed Broman with the Vanity Killer, but Cabana interfered and stomped the referee to break the count. Cabana grabbed a chair and Envy hit a twisting suplex onto the chair provided by Cabana. With the referee getting up, Cabana leveled him with a running boot and clocked Broman with the chair busting him open. Cabana put the finish on his blatant interference with a running boot to Broman. The referee recovered as Envy hit another Vanity Killer, and in fear of being attacked once more made the 3 count for another undefeated night for the Rockstar Mafia.

Ocho Gato def. The Puma to become #1 contender for the EFW World Title - This would mark the second only meeting between these two competitors having previously met in an EFW North American Title tournament back in Season 1 in 2007. The Puma started off this match utilizing his martial arts background with a series of kicks to Ocho. Ocho came alive with a headscissors takeover on Puma but he came right back with a takedown and a dropkick to the face. Ocho reversed an irish whip and went after Puma with a springboard reverse DDT, followed by a tope atomico. Puma put an end to the offensive onslaught of Ocho Gato with a short-arm clothesline then a dropkick from the top rope. Puma unloaded on Gato with a barrage of punches and kicks topped off with a spinning heel kick to the face. At this point it showed that both competitors were evenly matched. Puma stayed on with a vertical suplex into the ropes but fell victim to a rollup from Ocho for only a 2 count. Puma hit a textbook vertical suplex but once again Ocho fought back with a spinning heel kick of his own and later a school boy rollup for only a 2 count. Puma went back to his striking offense and faked a charging attack sliding to the outside, but Ocho was there to greet him with an amazing springboard corkscrew plancha. Back in the ring the attention turned to the corner where Ocho hit a swinging bulldog while later Puma matched it with a top rope spike DDT. Puma found a weak spot in Ocho's plan with a top rope armbreaker coupled with an armbar submission. Ocho found a way out but it appeared the damage had been done. Puma attempted a vertical suplex and quickly floated over for the pin but only got a 2 count. He continued with a kick to the midsection and a somersault neckbreaker, and then went back to working on the arm with another top rope armbreaker. Ocho surprised Puma with a rollup from behind for a 2 count. Puma attempted the Tiger Suplex but Ocho backflipped right out of it, sending him into the corner for a dropkick and a schoolboy rollup for the win.
