On Saturday night,May the 22nd,
the Cranford Burns Middle School Gymnasium in Mobile,AL
hosted a live independent professional wrestling event,
a benefit fundraiser show in an effort to raise money
for the Cranford Burns Middle School Athletic Program
in order for the school to purchase some
much needed athletic equipment.
Unable to attend the May 22nd benefit fundraiser event
in Mobile,AL
due to previous commitments and obligations
that he had with another wrestling promotion
in the Los Angeles,CA area that weekend
was Percy Pringle III,
a.k.a.
WWE Legend
Paul Bearer.
With that being said,
here are the results from that spectacular wrestling event.....
MATCH #1:
In the opening bout,
the match between
"The Old School Prodigy"
D.J. PRINGLE
versus the 405 lb.
MOUNTAIN MAN
ended in a double countout
as both men brawled trading back-and-forth fisticuffs
outside the ring.
(4:48)
MATCH #2:
Mobile,AL's very own hometown hero,
"Wrestling Royalty"
NATHAN CROWN
defeated
"The Canadian Superstar"
AEON FLEXX
via 1-2-3 pinfall
with a sunset flip.
(11:50)
Following the match
making a very special guest appearance
at the May 22nd benefit fundraiser wrestling event
at the Cranford Burns Middle School Gymnasium in Mobile,AL
was none other than the legendary
Gulf Coast professional wrestling stalwart,
"Cowboy"
Bob Kelly.
Throughout his stellar and illustrious wrestling career,
"Cowboy" Bob Kelly made a name for himself along the Gulf Coast professional wrestling circuit
winning several championship titles including the Brass Knuckles Championship and heavyweight championships in Louisiana,Mississippi and in Alabama,
not to mention wrestling in Tennessee,in Oklahoma
and in Canada as well.
Kelly had also held several tag team championship belts
along with the likes of Ken Lucas,Lee Fields,
Mike "The Hippie" Boyette,Rocket Monroe and Ramon Perez.
"Cowboy" Bob Kelly said that he was truly blessed and proud of what he had accomplished in his wrestling career and especially being a part of the sport and the business that he truly loved also.
Kelly also sincerely thanked the fans
for coming to the May 22nd event,
for their continuous,never ending support of professional wrestling
as well as their strong support for the men and women that were competing in the squared circle at the show in Mobile,AL that evening
and the ones who currently are sacrificing putting their bodies on the line
night in and night out,
year in and year out
for them......
the wrestling fans!
"Without wrestling fans",
as one "Cowboy" Bob Kelly so eloquently expressed that evening,
"there would certainly be no professional wrestling".
MATCH #3:
"The Feature"
and
"The Kneebreaker"
CARLOS D'ANGELO
defeated
"The (self-proclaimed)
REAL American Idol"
SASSY VEGAS
via 1-2-3 pinfall
as D'Angelo finished off Vegas
with a running knee
to the side of the head.
(14:03)
MATCH #4:
In the Semi Main Event
one-on-one Ladies Match,
"The Majesty Of Mayhem"
and
"Madame Monarch Of The Dark"
QUEEN MELISSA
made her return to Gulf Coast independent professional wrestling
for the 1st time in 8 months
as she defeated
"Shining"
SHEENA
via countout.....
due to the fact
that the timid female wrestler
"Shining" Sheena
apparently had gotten
"cold feet"
(LEGIT!!!)
about a few hours or so
prior to the show
and was too afraid to show her face,
much less accepting as well as suffering the dire consequences
of the substantial beating
that she was about to receive
at the hands of
"The Majesty Of Mayhem".
Despite winning her match by countout,
a frustrated and very highly infuriated Queen Melissa
refused to leave the ring;
which meant very bad news to those who attempted to ask her
to leave the squared circle,
namely referee Karl P. Roach
whom Queen Melissa bitterly
slapped the taste out of his mouth
and the Vice-Principal of the Cranford Burns Middle School
Mike Hendrix,
who made the grave,cardinal mistake by putting her hands on
"The Majesty Of Mayhem" Queen Melissa
as Queen Melissa too not only slapped the taste out of the mouth
of the Vice-Principal,
not to mention pushing him violently down to the mat,
then waylaying him upside his head
with his two-way walkie-talkie,
but she also laid him out shortly afterwards
nearly breaking him in half
as he was on the horrid,receiving end
of her running
"Royal Spear".
MATCH #5:
In the Tag Team Main Event Match,
the team of
RIKKI
"The Rocket"
ROBERTS
and former NWA/AWA/WWE/WCW Superstar,
1/2 of the legendary,popular tag team
"The Rock N' Roll Express"
ROBERT GIBSON
defeated the team of
"The Wiggins Ax Murderer"
"The Hardliner"
WADE GARRETT
and
"The Prince Of Pain"
JOE KANE
with
"Marvelous"
MARCEL PRINGLE
(from left to right)
at ringside
via 1-2-3 pinfall
as Rikki "The Rocket" Roberts pinned Joe Kane
with a rolling reverse
to score the winning 1-2-3 pinfall
for his team.
(11:55)
