Jonnie Stewart Takes Control of the AWA at WRESTLERACE 7.0

Things were hot in Indianapolis as a sold-out ringside witnessed what could very well be what the future holds for the AWA. Vice-President Jonnie Stewart officially announced that he was personally taking over management of the American Wrestling Association and denounced the Presidency of AWA Board of Director's and AWA / CWF Mid-Atlantic promoter Danny Wenkel. He further stated to the live audience that he had "people in high places" that would replace Danny Wenkel as not only the President of the AWA but also as the Chairman of the AWA Board of Directors. Convenient for the power hungry Stewart, was Danny Wenkel's absence at WRESTLERACE, something Stewart was well aware of when making his claims. Also obvious by his absence, was former President Dale Gagne. Although he was replaced by Danny Wenkel in March, wrestling fans have speculated that Gagne would return in "storyline fashion" at WRESTLERACE 7.0. Stewart wouldn't comment on Gagne's whereabouts when asked or even if Gagne will ever be seen again in the AWA. He did however reassure inquisitive fans that Gagne didn't blow up in a limousine and was very much still alive.

Confident in his new-found, self-appointed power of authority, Stewart started off WRESTLERACE 7.0, by introducing the AWA World Tag-Team Champions, "The New Generation Dynasty" Ric Converse and Xsiris. He then immediately stated, "Oh yeah, they won't be here because I've fired them". Stewart claimed to the shocked fans in attendance that he had fired the AWA / CWF mainstays and World Champions due to their "unprofessional conduct", never explaining exactly what that meant. Reasoning as the previous holders of the AWA World Tag-Team Championship and under continued protest by Steve Corino, Stewart awarded the championship back to the "Old School Blondes". Can he do that? Unfortunately, history will reveal that he did.

Here's a quick recap of WRESTLERACE 7.0 and the results from Indianapolis, Indiana June 13, 2007 (photos by Scott Romer):

Indianapolis' Own Dick "The Bruiser" Junior with Bruiser Dog pinned Salvatore Sincere

AWA Power Pro Wrestling's Dick Foley beat AWA Brew City Wrestling's Dinn T. Moore with his version of the mandible claw.

Beauty vs. The Geek:
Dexter Poindexter pinned "The Picture of Perfection" Noah Lott to win the girl!

AWA Brew City Wrestling's and Harley Race trainee Katie Syren pinned Josie.

"Krazy K" Kirby Mack kept his winning ways to retain the AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship against Sharkboy and Zach Gowen in a triple threat match ordered by Jonnie Stewart (first it was Gagne, now it's Stewart - can the "Krazy" one catch a break?)

Marcus Alexander "Buff" Bagwell & The Patriot reunited as STARS & STRIPES beating the newly claimed AWA World Tag-Team Champions VP Jonnie Stewart and "The Trademark of Excellence" Ricky Landell and were awarded new title belts.

Is all this for real? More details will follow on this breaking story right here at AWASTARS.COM.

TJ MACK BETRAYS KRAZY K, CLAIMS WORLD TITLE

The AWA reached new heights, literally, Saturday, December 2, 2006 in
Burlington, North Carolina at the AWA / CWF Carolina Sports Arena when disputed AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion's "Krazy K" Kirby Mack and Xsiris put their bodies on the line in what fans are saying is one of the best matches they've ever witnessed. Sanctioned as the first ever ladder match for the AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship in the history of the American Wrestling Association, a man not even wrestling in the match became the NEW AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion under rules that "the first man to climb the ladder and take possession of both disputed title belts, would become the new, undisputed champion". Seizing the opportunity of a lifetime and turning his back on his own brother, TJ Mack, 1/2 of the incredibly popular tag-team
"Team Macktion", along with the longest running AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion of all time, Kirby Mack, firmly drove a stake between what could easily be coined as "brotherly love".

In just over 30 minutes, both "Krazy K" Kirby Mack and Xsiris climbed separate ladders to claim their gold when from over 12 feet high, "Krazy K" positioned himself to deliver his patented "OverDoZe" (a one-of-a-kind, uniquely positioned leg-drop of sorts) on a then helpless Xsiris. As the first man up, Kirby again began to ascend the ladder, clearly in a position to win his title back when AWA President Dale Gagne entered the ring with a chair to attempt to take out the "Krazy One" himself. TJ Mack, appearing to "have his brother's back", blindsided Gagne, allowing "Krazy K" to attempt to once again climb the ladder and claim one of the AWA's most prized possessions. Virtually out of nowhere, TJ knocked over the ladder his brother was climbing, looked up at both belts, scaled a separate ladder and became the NEW AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion. Whether it was planned or not (and by whom) is arguable but what really did go through the mind of TJ Mack may never be known.

AWASTARS attempted to get comments from a visibly dejected, angry and hurting former Champion immediately after the match-up only to be turned down by a personal friend of Kirby's simply stating that when he's ready, he'll make a statement. This much however is known, we wouldn't want to be the new Champion "The Man" TJ. Nothing's worse than a brother scorned. For the full results, click right here (link to AWAUSA.COM news page).

WORLD TAG TITLE CHANGE LATER RULED NO CONTEST

The following is a an official press release from the AWA Board of Directors:

Minneapolis, Minnesota - A written protest has been filed by Steven Corino and
Richard Landell, collectively known and referred to as the "Old School Blondes".
The AWA Board of Directors were notified this date of actions taking place
during an AWA sanctioned World Tag-Team Championship match on Saturday, December 2, 2006 in Burlington, North Carolina, against opponents Tank Lawson and Rob McBride.

Mr. Corino brought the following specific details to this Board's attention
regarding the match in question:

1. Mr. Landell was tossed over the top rope (recognized as a disqualification
in AWA/CWF) by Tank Lawson.
2. A pair of brass knuckles were introduced into the match and used on both him
and his partner.
3. The referee was inadvertently knocked down.
4. AWA World Heavyweight Champion "The First" Ric Converse interjected himself into the match by both physically attacking Mr. Corino and counted a pin fall as an un-sanctioned referee.

Utilizing a pretense set by former AWA President Stanley Blackburn, the AWA
Board of Directors, after viewing a copy of the footage provided by current AWA President Dale R. Gagne, have taken all facts in consideration as presented. We clearly do not support all of the actions perpetrated by Mr. Corino and Mr. Landell during the match however the facts can not be argued. Therefore the match from December 2, 2006 in Burlington, North Carolina will be determined a NO CONTEST. The "Old School Blondes" remain the AWA World Tag-Team Champions.

In the best interests of the fans, we will certainly sanction an upcoming
re-match between both of these teams.

SUPERCLASH '06 IN LOUISIANA - A SUPER SUCCESS!

The WWE's loss was the fans in Louisiana's gain as "Superhero In Training" Rosey soundly defeated the challenge of Salvatore Sincere.

New to the AWA, the gigantic masked "Cross Examiner" (rumored to be a real, high buck trial attorney) easily pinned Kimchee, the long-time, mysterious handler of the Ugandan Headhunter Kamala.  Is he really that mysterious?  With the stipulation that the loser must remove their mask, the Cross Examiner ripped Kimchee's mask off before being saved with a towel around the face by the AWA World Tag-Team Champions, The Old School Blondes.

In a triple tag-team qualification match-up, three separate teams comprised of the Heartbreak Express, the father/son combination of AWA Hawaii's JT Wolfen & SickDogg and the incredibly popular brothers, AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion "Krazy K" Kirby & TJ Mack - Team Macktion, all competed for the opportunity to meet AWA World Tag-Team Champions, "The Old School Blondes" Steve Corino & Ricky Landell in a future rematch.  In the end, JT Wolfen & Sickdogg walked out of the match-up victorious.

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams' stand out trainees Robby Murdoch lost to Scotty Pride in an AWA try-out match.

Making his "official" in-ring come-back, the "Illustrious" Jonnie Stewart started out his new record with a loss to a moonsaulting Zach Gowen, quickly becoming a household name in the AWA.

The legendary Sam Houston, son of former WWE and WCW agent Grizzly Smith, as well as the brother of Jake "The Snake" Roberts and former WWF Women's Champion Rockin' Robin, made a surprise appearance to a standing ovation.  Houston promised his fans that he would be returning to "old school" and the AWA.

AWA World Tag-Team Champions, "Old School" Steve Corino & "The Trademark of Excellence" Ricky Landell - The Old School Blondes, managed by Jonnie Stewart, retained their titles by DQ when Corino deliberately kicked the referee in a match-up against The Patriot and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams.  Patriot and the Doc were seconded by area radio celebrity Roger Gill who kept the packed Florida Parishes Arena on their feet.

In the main event for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship, Champion "The First" Ric Converse soundly beat the challenge of Aaron "Jesus" Aguilera disputing any claims that as a "marked man" he was vulnerable to the former WWE Superstar.

What's next?  Keep it dialed in to AWASTARS.COM.  Official programs and posters from the event can be purchased on our merchandise page.
