Ringside With Rich

06/08/09

Let me start by sending a very special THANK YOU to all of our loyal Chaotic Wrestling fans. Nearly 300 of you packed the Polish American Veterans Club in Lowell, MA on May 29th for BREAKING POINT. In my 15+ years in this business, I have never been surrounded by a more passionate fan-base than we have here in Chaotic. We work hard to please our fans and in turn, you have showed the entire roster tremendous support every show, and we are all appreciative for that!

I'm still reeling from BREAKING POINT! It certainly was an evening filled with highs, lows and several surprises.

The evening started out on a low, with the newly crowned Chaotic Wrestling Tag Team Champions, The Blowout Boys, Danny E. and Antonio T., with their manager, Alexxis, claiming their dominance in the tag team division. After winning the titles on May 1st, the Blowouts insisted that there were no more tag teams left for them to defeat and issued an open challenge to anyone in the lockeroom.

To their surprise (and dismay), The Logan Brothers, Matt and Bryan emerged through the curtain to accept the challenge. Forty seconds later, the Logan's were victorious, beginning their third reign as champions.

Matt and Bryan had not been seen in Chaotic Wrestling for over eight months. During that time, they steamrolled through various teams across the eastern seaboard. At BREAKING POINT, they electrified their hometown fans by soundly defeating the newly crowned champions. Welcome back, Matt and Bryan!

The surprises continued in the next match as "Straight Edge" Brian Fury defeated his former tag team partner, "The American Sasuke" Mikaze by cracking him over the skull with Mikaze's own nun-chucks, handed to him by "The Manager of Champions" Sean Gorman.

Despite all indications leading us to believe that it was Mikaze who was joining Gorman's Empire, it was all a ruse, as Fury has sold his soul to the devil and joined Gorman. What a disappointment to all the fans and more importantly, all the kids that looked up to Brian Fury. I can't believe it's true, but it is, and this Friday night at the Plains Community Center in Lawrence, MA, Fury (with Gorman by his side) will take on Demon Ortiz. Hopefully, Ortiz will knock some sense into Fury.

In a shocker, my broadcast partner Mike Nice was ambushed backstage by an unknown assailant. Out of nowhere, R.J. DeLuise (my former partner) took advantage of Nice being knocked out cold and rushed to join me for commentary once again.

It is unknown who attacked Mike Nice, but the fact of the matter is that DeLuise has, indeed, weaseled his way back onto the commentary team here in Chaotic Wrestling. I'm not sure what R.J.'s agenda is (other than driving me insane!) but it looks like he is back to stay.

The next match saw Fred "Bonecrusher" Sampson defeat former CW Heavyweight Champion, "The Golden Greek" Alex Arion in an exciting bout. The real thrill came after the match as the fans were informed that they had just witnessed Fred's last match in Chaotic Wrestling as he has been signed to a developmental contract with WWE!

Fred Sampson has been a permanent fixture in Chaotic Wrestling for over five years. He has held the CW New England Championship and one-half of the CW Tag Team Championship (with "Big" Rick Fuller), but now Sampson is on his way to the big time! On behalf of the entire staff of Chaotic Wrestling, we thank Fred for his many years of service and wish him nothing but success in World Wrestling Entertainment!

Next up at BREAKING POINT saw the Chaotic Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, Chase Del Monte continue his dominance as the flag-bearer for this company as he turned back the challenge of the Empire's man-monster, Sledge.

This was a hard-fought battle that saw Chase kick-out of not one, not two, but THREE of Sledge's finishing maneuver, "The Thing". Del Monte has proved to all that he is the real deal and a worthy champion, perhaps one of the best in CW history. He has successfully defended his title for over four months now, with victories over not only Sledge, but Scott Reed, international superstar, "Die Hard" Eddie Edwards and former champion, Alex Arion.

Word on the street is that Sledge was so distraught by his loss that he has left Chaotic Wrestling and headed back to the Adirondacks! Oh, if he could only take Sean Gorman with him!

Who's next in line you may ask? Well, not even Chase knows as this Friday night in Lawrence, he will defend his title against the winner of an over-the-top-rope Battle Royal! This is a sure way to test the champion's mettle as he will be forced to defend the belt with little time to prepare as he will face that winner the very same evening! This should be interesting.

A thrilling "Battle of the Big Men" saw two former CW Heavyweight Champions do battle as the 6'4", 340 pound Brian Milonas take on the 6'6", 272 pound "Big" Rick Fuller.

This was Milonas' toughest test to date since launching his "campaign" to become CW Heavyweight Champion once again. These two behemoths battered each other from pillar-to-post until Milonas' Personal Security, Agents Magic and Starr, attacked Fuller, earning Milonas an immediate disqualification.

It looks like the war between these two is just heating up as we head into the Summer of 2009!

Jim Kettner's ECWA was again represented in Lowell as "Hot Shot" Mike Reed (no relation to Scott) defeated the popular Elia Markopoulus.

"Hot Shot" Reed is a throwback to the stereotypical 80's heel, complete with sequined robe, big sunglasses and long blond hair, but his talent cannot be denied. Reed could be a serious threat to any title holder in Chaotic Wrestling in 2009!

For the first time since the legendary "Shoots and Ladders" match between "Hurricane" John Walters and Demon Ortiz at COLD FURY 3, a Ladder Match was featured in the main event of BREAKING POINT as the Chaotic Wrestling New England Champion, Demon Ortiz defended his title against former champion, Scott Reed from Sean Gorman's Empire.

This seemingly never-ending war has seen Reed and Gorman do everything in their collective powers to regain possession of the title belt, including flat-out stealing it from Ortiz at various times since Reed lost the title to Ortiz at COLD FURY 8 on February 6th.

The advantage went back-and-forth for nearly twenty minutes and saw several ladders used in the match. With Ortiz down, Reed attacked Head of Security, Tony Omega, stealing his handcuffs in the process. Reed then cuffed the Demon to the ropes and climbed the ladder to retrieve the title belt.

Omega rushed back to the ring to unlock Ortiz, but it was too late in this No-Disqualification bout. Reed snatched the belt suspended above the ring and is once again CW New England Champion. Ortiz is seething and wants his title back! Again, this should be one hot summer in Chaotic Wrestling!

So BREAKING POINT is now history and all roads will lead to the Plains Community Center in Lawrence, MA this Friday night, June 12th as all three championships will be on the line with Chase Del Monte defending his title against the winner of that evening's Battle Royal, The Empire's Scott Reed defends the CW New England Championship and The Logan Brothers defend the CW Tag Team Titles. PLUS - Demon Ortiz vs. Brian Fury (with Sean Gorman).

All this and so much more. Get your advance tickets NOW at chaoticwrestling.com. Don't miss it... BE THERE!!!

Until next time...

LET THE CHAOS BEGIN!!!
