* On Angus Skaaland’s weekly YouTube update he confirmed that PW:C promoter Matt Saunders had indeed contacted him about the possibility of having a couple of LARIAT’s Junior Heavyweight’s come up to Canada to compete on the Canadian Air Assault event at the end of August. He also added that he’d been in talks with innovaPRO spokesman Ryan Corey about sending a team or two from LARIAT’s Tag Team division out to Missouri to get some extra exposure.
* Wyatt Bronson was on Austin’s AM 1300 The Zone’s morning Wake Up Call this morning. Wyatt spent a good while discussing the Texas Longhorns incoming recruiting class before a listener called in and asked him about his Lonestar TV Title match with Rich Mahogany scheduled for tomorrow’s All-Stars of Wrestling telecast. The former Defensive Tackle of the Longhorns replied with a hefty laugh and the following statement:
“Lemme tell ya somethin’ ‘bout Rich Mahogany. That pencil-necked little twerp thinks he’s gonna pull another fast one on th’ Lonestar Lariat, but that boy ain’t as quick as he thinks! I’m gon’ squash ‘im like bug right dead in th’ center o’ the rang an’ thar ain’t nuthin nobody can do about it!”
* The tag team division that has developed in LARIAT has been a pleasant surprise, as team wrestling has long been deemed a dead art. The Texas Heritage Tag League has spotlighted six of the best teams on the independent circuit over the past two weeks, but it’s become apparent that mathematically Saturdays match between the OSAKA HATE CRIME [Mitsuru Yahagi, Yutaka Tendo] and the Superior FT [Solomon Grendel, Petey Garrett] will be the match to decide the winner of the League and the first Texas Heritage Tag Champions!
Texas Heritage Tag League Points Table:
1. Osaka Hate Crime (20)
2. Superior FT (16)
3. Hell Riders (8)
- Firebirds (8)
5. Dirty Rydas (5)
- Pine Street Posse (5)
* Frank Dylan James was livid at the close of the last episode of ASoW. Once everyone had returned to the dressing room after the main event Frank walked up to Nü Violence Express leader Kazua Akamatsu and challenged him to a fist fight. Yutaka Tendo and Mitsuru Yahagi both jumped to Akamatsu’s sides and a slugfest almost broke out in the locker rooms! Sources close to the Hillbilly Jesus say that he was embarrassed when he had to be “saved” by Dusty Griffith and wanted give all three members of the NVE personal receipts for their antics.
Griffith steered clear of the backstage drama as he apparently left directly after his involvement in the Main Event. It would appear that the Boise St. Bronco has once again picked up his globe-trotting habits and had a trans-pacific flight to catch early the next morning.
One way or the other, Frank and Dusty will both be at the Wrestle-Plex on Saturday for their final round match of the Pride of Texas Heavyweight Title Tournament, but whether or not this will be the end of their difficulties is anyone’s guess, as these kinds of issues of respect can turn ugly fast!
* Be sure to check out all this action and more this week on All-Stars of Wrestling, and if you’re in the Austin area come on out to the Wrestle-Plex where it’s always $5 general admission and $10 front row seating!
