MAW presents THE QUEST BEGINS // Uncle Mike’s M Pour E Yum – Hudson, WI
Results thanks to GrappleTalk + Nick Caron
This event is titled “The Quest Begins” as it will begin the tournament to crown the first Midwest All-Star Wrestling heavyweight champion. Numerous tournament combatants were brought into the ring by Brian Sager as he unveiled the championship title. Tommy “Spiderbaby” Saturday has already earned a first round bye by being the lone survivor in an eight-man tag match at a previous event.
MAW Championship Tournament – Round 1
School Boy defeated El Tigre with a school boy roll-up while holding the tights
Next we saw an in-ring promo from Steve Stardom, AC Riley and Tommy “Spiderbaby” Saturday. The three men called themselves “The Feature” as they are the feature presentation in MAW.
MAW Championship Tournament – Round 1
Zakk Neo defeated Stonehenge Joseph Wayne with a leaping spin kick to the face. Neo was accompanied by a brand new valet, Lissa Rae.
Singles Match
Moses Mayhem defeated Aiden Wake via spear in a very short match. Wake quickly snatched the microphone and berated Mayhem for attacking him before the opening bell had rung, noting that the match had never officially started. The referee agreed and the match finally did officially begin. Mayhem immediately hit Wake with a spinebuster and got another quick pinfall.
MAW Championship Tournament – Round 1
Steve Stardom defeated Maru via pinfall after hitting him with a loaded fist, which appeared to be brass knuckles covered in athletic tape.
INTERMISSION
Aiden Wake attacked Moses Mayhem at ringside as we came out of intermission, only to be thrown in the ring, hit with a clothesline and pinned for another 1-2-3, this time counted by Mayhem himself. This was the third fall that Wake took at the hands of Mayhem on the afternoon, though only one officially counted.
Singles Match – Winner gets Leonard Literacy’s spot in the MAW Championship Tournament
Wild Pete defeated Leonard Literacy by pinfall
This match was refereed by the same official who incorrectly counted a pinfall on Literacy, who had kicked out prior to the three count, at the previous MAW show. This was a back and forth match which eventually saw Literacy knock the referee down with an accidental forearm. Another referee came out and was counting a pinfall for Literacy when Sean Slade from the Breaking Knyte podcast interfered to save Wild Pete by pulling the second referee out of the ring. Slade then threw a steel chair into the ring, which Pete used to pedigree Literacy onto. Pete rolled Literacy over and the original referee counted the pinfall for Wild Pete. Literacy has now lost to Wild Pete at three straight MAW events and will be replaced by Wild Pete in the MAW Championship tournament.
Singles Match
Tommy “Spiderbaby” Saturday defeated Petey Brown via pinfall with his feet on the middle rope.
MAW Championship Tournament – Round 1
Garrisaon Creed defeated AC Riley in a “bootcamp” match. The rules of this bout were that one combatant must pin his opponent for a three count, then the downed opponent would have until the referee’s count to 10 to get back to his feet.
This match saw some painful-looking spots, including a suplex from Creed onto Riley in the bar area of the venue, a few welt-forming strikes with a kendo stick from Creed onto Riley and the eventual final blow: a frog splash from Creed onto Riley on top of a pile of Legos.
Creed extended his hand to Riley after the match against the pleas from fans in attendance but Creed explained that Riley stepped into his world with the bootcamp match and showed everyone that he can take a beating. Riley took the microphone and told Creed to “go to hell.” Spiderbaby and Steve Stardom, Riley’s fellow members of The Feature, attacked Creed from behind and laid a beating on him. Maru tried to make the save but was overwhelmed by The Feature. Finally Maru and Creed were saved by Petey Brown, El Tigre and Moses Mayhem who knocked The Feature out of the ring.
Brian Sager took the microphone and announced that Maru and a partner of his choosing would face the duo of AC Riley and Steve Stardom when MAW returns to Uncle Mike’s M-Pour-E-Yum in Hudson, WI on February 11th.
Fans and wrestlers began to file out of the building when Leonard Literacy jumped Wild Pete from behind as he sat with the members of The Breaking Knyte podcast. They were quickly pulled apart by ringside attendants and fellow wrestlers, but it appears that Literacy is not ready to give up on his quest to defeat Wild Pete.
