Thanks to Jody for the following. ... Trish Stratus will throw out the first pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox game on July 10th at the Rogers Center.
Alissa Flash defeated Joey Spector on Saturday, July 3rd at River City Wrestling's Declaration Of Champions event to become the first female to ever hold the RCW Championship. You can check out the final moments from the match at http://www.youtube.com/rcwvideo.
Michael sent along some more notes on Bryan Danielson's weekend working for WXW in Germany.
On Saturday Bryan competed in the Round Robin Challenge including TJP and Wade Fitzgerald from England. Bryan def. Wade in the show opener while pretty much dominating the bout. TJP later also won against Fitzgerald so the RRC finale and co-main-event was Bryan vs. TJP. Really great match and certainly one of the best this year in wXw. Bryan finally won when he slid TJP from the
Cattle Mutilation into a full nelson bridging pin.
In the main event by the way Zack SabreJr.. defended his World Title against Big
Van Walter (both have been seen on wXw The Vision in Philadelphia) via DQ. The third featured match was the farewell match of Doug Williams, who defeated fellow Brit Martin Stone.
On Sunday wXw had their first ever shoot-style-wrestling tournament, held under the name of "Ambition". It was an 8 men tournament
including again TJP and Wade Fitzgerald as well as British beast Johnny Moss, Jon Ryan from the U.K.,
Dutch Tommy End and Rico Bushido and wXw World Champion Zack Sabre Jr. No pinfalls for this tournament, only ways to win was by submission, knockout, ref stoppage or disqualification.
Bryan defeated Tommy End in the first round via leg kicks. TJP def. Zack Sabre
Jr. with his own move, the armbar. Moss and Ryan also won there first round bouts. In the semis the Americans and the Brits collided. Johnny Moss could defeat Jon Ryan while Bryan was again victorious over TJP, this time using his vicious elbows from the crucifix position till TJP passed out.
In the finals Bryan used a triangle choke in combination with elbow strikes from the ground to win a very hard fought battle against Johnny Moss.
It was a great tournament with a very new style in Europe. Audience was so great on
Sunday, totally absorbing the completely different mood of shoot-style wrestling.
