TCW, Local Wrestling Action

Here's a rundown of what you need to know going into this show:

Jeff Storm and Brett Storm are father and son, and former tag team champions. Their feud began as an act of reconciliation, as Brett offered to help his father regain the tag team titles from Jeff's former partner "Playboy" Jamie Gibson. Gibson won the titles with some help from his current partner in the "Ultimate Males," Stallion. Jeff sought a partner, and Brett surprised everyone by accepting. After several good matches in Johnson City, they had a blowoff match in Mountain City which ended with Brett and manager Rebecca Lynn leaving Jeff Storm high and dry in the ring. Now both Storms are trying to prove themselves top dog in the Storm househould.

"The Carolina Cowboy" Brady Hawks has been trying to beat the Ultimate Males, Stallion and Playboy, for two months now. Two months ago he teamed unsuccessfully with Rick Karloff. Last month he came close as he teamed with Tommy Fantastic in a tag team title match. The two, dubbed "The Southern Express," get another shot this month against the sliest dogs in TCW .

Since returning to TCW, "Hard Body" Allen King (The wrestler with the most ironic name in history) has been pushing every button Commissioner James Ray has. It started when King followed a match with Exotica by choking "The Exotic One" with his wrist tape. Then, when Commissioner Ray came out, Allen King choked him as well. This eventually lead to a chain match between Exotica and Allen King. Exotica won the match, but Allen King didn't learn his lesson. Commissioner Ray decided to up the ante by bringing in none other than "Big" Steve Fury, who won last month by count out. Unsatisfied with that win, Fury demanded a rematch and Commissioner Ray was more than happy to grant it.

The show is several weeks away, but if you're going to be in the Northeast Tennessee/Southwest Virginia/Northwest North Carolina area, I recommend it. There are no pyro set ups, no lighting rigs, no fancy video screens. Just some guys settling their differences in the squared circle.
