2008 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup Night Two Results

Courtesy of Alan J. Wojcik:

In November, 2002 independent wrestling phenomenon Jeff Peterson lost his long battle with cancer. May 16-17, 2003 saw the beginning of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, a sixteen competitor tournament in honor of the fallen star. Each year the event has grown to international levels. Previous winners of this prestigious tournament are "Reckless Youth" Tom Carter, Justice, Chris Sabin, Milano Collection AT and Chris Hero.

This year the proceeds go to Devin Deschaine. Devin is a 2 yr old Port Richey boy with stage 4 Neuroblastoma. His form of cancer is one of the most rare & aggressive pediatric cancers. Only about 600 kids in the USA will be diagnosed with Neuroblastoma each year. About 70% of them will NOT survive. Devin is very close to our hearts & there is no other option for him but to SURVIVE. He's a born fighter. He was a little fighter long before he was diagnosed. Neuroblastoma shouldn't be any different. He just needs a little help with this fight.

On Saturday, September 27, 2008, the Brooksville National Guard Armory hosted night two of the 2008 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup. The event was sponsored by Pro Wrestling Riot, the Tammi Hamaoui Foundation and floridawrestlingfans.com

Long version of the event.

Previous JPC competitors Rod Steel, Mikey Tenderfoot and Steve Madison were among those in attendance.

(1) In a second round match, "the Campus Legend" Brad Attitude defeated Jaison Moore.

Attitude made few friends sporting a Miami Hurricanes football jersey in the introductions. Moore made the fans cheer by hitting Attitude with several armdrags and hiptosses which sent Attitude to the floor to confer with himself. Moore didn’t feel like waiting so he chased Attitude around the ring and back in where Attitude thought he was going to drop an elbow. But instead of Moore’s head he met the solid ring canvas and Moore went to work on the elbow until Attitude hit a cheap shot to Moore’s head. Attitude went right on the attack and also right on the "let’s break the rules" tangent. He nearly had the win after a chest first corner whip allowed him to hit Moore with a neckbreaker. Attitude went for the chinlock submission with some assist from the bottom rope but Moore fought to his feet only to be sent back down after a hair pull. Attitude kept going back to the neck area of Moore, this time using Moore’s left arm to choke himself. Moore got a second wind and hit Attitude with several clotheslines and forearms. Moore hit a chest first style facebuster and a senton for two before going up top. When he came off Moore landed on the ropes after Attitude ran into them. From there Attitude hit an inverted Acecrusher like hold to advance.

(2) In a second round match, "Sweet N Sour Inc’s." Larry Sweeney defeated The YRR’s Sal Rinauro.

To the shock of many the 21-time ICW/ICWA Texarkana TV champion was cheered when he hit the ringside area. That could be due to the utter hatred of the YRR. Sweeney called for a test of strength and after Rinauro went through some calisthenics he was close to locking up when Sweeney backed to the ropes for some personal time. Both men called the other chicken and did the chicken dance. Finally we had a lockup with a mid-ring shoulder collision following. Both men kicked the other with a below the belt kick and actually shook hands. Next came double eye gouges and Rinauro getting a side headlock. The shoulder tackle fest continued in between a muscle pose down to see which had the best body. Sweeney bailed to the floor and seemed to be ready to fight. Actually both men dropped to the mat for an arm wrestling contest that turned into an overhand wristlock. That was followed by some rope criss-crosses and Rinauro getting the better of it. both men had small package pins and backslides but neither could score the wine despite tights being pulled. Another criss-cross took place but this time Sweeney bailed to the floor leaving Rinauro running for several moments. Sweeney actually had crawled under the ring so Rinauro went up top and jumped to the center of the ring. Sweeney came out with his ears ringing in pain. But he got control when they got back to the ring with the Polish Hammer for two and a sidewalk slam also for two. Sweeney called for the Shake, Rattle & Roll but Rinauro blocked the Roll so Sweeney raked his eyes and dragged him across the top rope. A shoulder breaker got Sweeney two but his Earthquake splash only met Rinauro’s fists which made direct contact with Sweeney’s well…you get the idea. Rinauro went for the Bonzai Drop in the corner but hit only canvas. Sweeney went for the Head Crush submission but Rinauro escaped and hit the Bionic Elbow for two. Rinauro escaped a sleeper and went for the Human Torture Rack but Sweeney slid off into a two count pin. Sweeney pulled down his singlet meaning business so Rinauro pulled it down to show off Sweeney’s ass for all to see. Rinauro loaded a punch up with his JPC medal but Sweeney ducked it and locked in a sleeper hold which Rinauro could not escape from. After the match ended Sweeney revived Rinauro and they hugged as the fans cheered for both men.

(3) In a second round match, Chikara’s Gran Akuma defeated Jon Davis of the Dark City Fight Club/911 Inc.

Akuma was the natural crowd favorite as the fans also hated the hell out of 911 Inc. Davis began the jawboxing telling Akuma he was too small to be a threat and followed with a slap to the face. He gave Akuma a free shot and Akuma gave him several kicks to the hamstrings but Davis scooped him up for a slam for two. Davis kept on the attack with forearms and elbows to the head. Akuma fought back but Davis kept going after the back with corner whips. Akuma fired in the kicks to the hamstring but got leveled by a clothesline for two. Akuma avoided a corner splash and hit Davis with a kick to the head. Both men fought to their feet and it was Akuma escaping a back suplex and hitting Davis with a move before going up top to hit a frog splash for two. Akuma went for a kick but Davis caught the leg and hit a back suplex. Davis thought it was three and argued the count which allowed Akuma time to clear the fog. Davis went up but Akuma blocked the move only to have his huricurana turned into a corner power bomb. But when Davis charged him, Akuma rolled him up for the pinfall to advance onward.

(4) In a second round match, FIP/ROH’s Erick Stevens defeated The YRR’s Kenny King.

Early on Stevens tried to be a good sport by breaking on a corner lockup. King told him where to stick his sportsmanship on a corner break, slapping Stevens in the chest. The two men tried to outdo each other with shoulder blocks and it was King who ended up on the floor after he was hit with a tackle and a swinging bodyslam. After some stalling King came back in right to the waiting arms of Stevens with a chest chop. Stevens hit a Russian legsweep into an arm bar trying to make King tap out as he also isolated King’s right arm. King escaped the pin but not the chest chops that followed. King bailed to the floor once more which seemed to get on Stevens’ nerves and he paid when King hit a knee lift when Stevens went to grab him from the apron. King went on the attack driving Stevens’ back into the ring apron. Stevens fought back as they got back in the ring but King stayed on the attack with a modified spinebuster and a back suplex for two. King went for a camel clutch like submission but Stevens fought to his feet but ran into a King knee to the gut for two. King kept hitting Stevens but Stevens kept hitting back even as King went for cheap shots. King softened up Stevens with several knee lifts to the head before putting him on the top corner. But Stevens blocked the move sending King into the ring where King did a flip to his feet as Stevens came off with a shoulder block. The punches were tossed with Stevens coming out ahead on hits. Stevens wound up for the lariat but it as blocked and King hit a series of kicks before a swinging backbreaker for two. King lost focus and missed a springboard legdrop which allowed Stevens to hit an Acecrusher for two. Stevens went for a move but King backed him to a corner and eventually King hit a sitout power bomb for two. King went for a Million Dollar Dream like hold but Stevens refused to tap, instead backing King to a corner where he tagged King with several body punches. King avoided a corner splash and went to the ropes but he got hit with a lariat for two. Stevens got hit with a Blockbuster but kicked out of the pin which made King pissed off to the extreme. Stevens escaped King’s Coronation and hit a lariat followed by the Doctor Bomb to advance to face Larry Sweeney.

(5) In a non-tournament TLC match, Bums R' Us (Ray Beez & Milo Beasley) defeated House of Vitale's Lou the Fixer & "the Killing Machine" Raymond Snow (w/ "the Princess of Wrestling" Amy Vitale).

These two teams have been killing each other in Pro Wrestling Riot and tonight they upped the ante big time. Beez and Beasley came through the crowd jumping their opponents before the weapons were used. Beasley got dumped to the floor as Beez was worked over in a corner. So Beasley grabbed a ladder piledriving it onto the Fixer. Beez set the ladder up in a corner before both men grabbed the Fixer before they hit Snow with an interesting move where Beez put Beasley on his shoulders and drove Beasley into Snow. This move worked but the missed the Fixer and the duo hit the ladder. Snow dropped Beasley on top rope and hit him with a ladder as the Fixer beat down Beez on the floor. With Beez on the floor, the duo worked over Beasley with chairs. Snow went after Beez as the Fixer and Beasley hit each other with broken ladder parts. All four men went to the floor where the Fixer set up a table that Snow suplexed Beez into. Beasley did his best to hold on against the two huge opponents but the Fixer was leveled by several Beez chair shots on the floor. Snow kept on beating down Beasley even going for a superplex but Beez saved Beasley and the duo hit Snow with a power bomb into a ladder. Beasley hit the fixer with an airplane spin and then Beez hit a tornado clothesline. The duo dragged the Fixer to a table on the floor and Beez went up a ladder as Snow was getting to his feet. But Beasley wedged Snow into the ladder and it allowed Beez to hit a splash off onto the Fixer who went through the table, getting pinned in the process.

(6) In a non-tournament match; Jigsaw, J-Rod, Craig Classic & CJ O’Doyle defeated the YRR’s Chasyn "Not Cocky" Rance, "Addicted to Love" Rhett Titus, Icarus & Moonshine McCoy.

From the ultra violence we went to an eight man contest with some of last night’s tourney participants. Both teams tried to isolate someone from their corner and for a few moments it was Titus. But he eventually escaped tagging in McCoy who also fell to several shots to the left arm and shoulder. McCoy was able to grab Classic and toss him to the ropes where Titus came with a shoulder tackle. Classic’s partners did him no favors as they kept the referee busy after some cheating by the opposition made them try and save Classic. But no one could keep Classic pinned or get him to tap out and he eventually tagged out to O’Doyle who took on all four men. Jigsaw got in on the action taking out Titus but all eight men ended up putting each other in headlocks and then hitting legsweeps. O’Doyle survived and hit Rance with an enziguri. The plancha fest ensued with all eight men being hit by one at any time. Except for Titus who stopped Jigsaw but his sexy suplex was countered into a small package for a pinfall.

(7) In a semi-final match, FIP/ROH’s Erick Stevens defeated "Sweet N’ Sour Inc’s" Larry Sweeney.

This was an interesting contrast in styles that the fans got to enjoy. Actually they got Sweeney jumping Stevens before the bell as he went after Stevens’ left leg like it had a million dollars hidden inside it. Sweeney used the ring post as a tool to slam the knee into. Sweeney went for the win locking in a figure four as the fans cheered on Stevens and yelling to the referee Sweeney was using the ropes for leverage. Stevens got out of the hold and caught Sweeney coming off the top rope with a shot to the gut. Stevens went to the power game even as a powerslam did damage to his knee. Sweeney went for the pin with his feet on the ropes but the referee caught him and the arguing allowed Stevens to recover. When Sweeney finally stopped jawing he nearly had it removed by Stevens and the lariat which sent Stevens to the finals.

(8) In a semi-final match, "the Campus Legend" Brad Attitude defeated Chikara’s Gran Akuma.

Attitude switched to his beloved Appalachian State colors to face Akuma who was ready to advance. Unlike against Jon Davis, Akuma went technical with the "Campus Legend" twisting him into funny shapes getting screams of pain and agony. Somehow Attitude survived long enough to rake Akuma’s eyes and hit a chop block. Attitude went for the leglace submission but Akuma refused, so Attitude let it go to inflict more pain, using his own neck to stretch out Akuma’s knee joint. The punishment kept coming as Attitude used the ropes as a weapon on the knee and locking in a head scissor submission. Attitude went back to the leg with a half crab style submission powered more by the ropes as leverage. But Attitude let the hold go to hit a move but it was blocked and Akuma kicked Attitude dead in the jaw. Both men fought to their feet but it was Akuma who was the aggressor until Attitude got him on the mat in a modified Indian Deathlock. But Akuma refused to quit so Attitude let the hold go and he regretted it as Akuma locked in an armbar submission. Attitude escaped and the two men traded several near falls. Akuma stopped Attitude from a top rope move with an open hand slap but Attitude countered the superplex into what looked like a DDT to advance on facing Erick Stevens in the finals.

(9) In a non-tournament tag team Gauntlet: The British Lions (Chris Gray & Tommy Taylor) defeated the Loggers ("Lumberjack" Manley & the Mighty Dagon), The Lifeguards (Wade Koverly & Daron Smythe), Club Vitale’s the Heartbreak Express ("Superstar" Sean & "Fabulous" Phil Davis), House of Vitale’s Damballah/Mad Man Mandrake (w/ "the Princess of Wrestling" Amy Vitale), "Mr. 630" Jerrelle Clark/Nooie Lee and Fantastic Dantastic/K-Dizzy.

This was the order of elimination:

**Mad Man Mandrake eliminated the Loggers

**Damballah eliminated K-Dizzy/Fantastic Dantastic & Jerrelle Clark/Nooie Lee

**The Heartbreak Express & the British Lions eliminated the Lifeguards & House of Vtiale

**The British Lions eliminated the Heartbreak Express

(10) In the finals, Erick Stevens defeated "the Campus Legend" Brad Attitude.

The final match was refereed by former IPW Hardcore star Jet Jaguar who was a longtime friend of Jeff Peterson. Attitude felt the NC ST Wolfpack was the colors to get him a mental edge against the former Florida Heritage Heavyweight champion. Following tradition the other fourteen JPC competitors surrounded ringside to cheer both men on. Attitude’s focus went to Stevens’ legs which were worked over by Larry Sweeney in the semi-finals while Stevens went after Attitude’s left arm. Attitude tried to get in Stevens’ head with chest chops but Stevens fired back with a vicious one that sent Attitude to the floor for a time out. Attitude came back in but was hit with a series of moves that led him to bail to the floor once more. This time Stevens followed him out laying in the forearms to the back. It backfired as Attitude threw him into the ring barricade and back to the ring. But Stevens proved everyone wrong hitting Attitude with a flying forearm through the ropes. Both men came back in with Stevens getting drilled in his left hamstring. Attitude went to work on separating the hamstring from the rest of Stevens’s body using legal and some illegal tactics to do so. Stevens tried to fight back but Attitude was focused on dishing out the pain. Stevens went back to the arm with an armbar submission hold but Attitude got out and clipped Stevens’ knee out. Attitude thought he had it won with a half crab submission but Stevens made it to the ropes causing a break. Attitude reluctantly broke the hold and locked it in again, this time in the middle of the ring. But he didn’t count on Stevens getting to his feet and hitting an enziguri for two. Attitude blocked the Doctor Bomb with a backdrop for two and followed with a suplex for two. Attitude went to end the match but Stevens hit him with a lariat and the Doctor Bomb to win the tournament!!! Attitude showed some class by entering the ring to shake Stevens’ hand during the trophy presentation. After being congratulated by the other JPC members, Stevens took the mic to tell the fans he got into the business to have people think he was the best wrestler around. He thanked everyone who came out to cheer him on as his dream was realized tonight by winning the tournament.

(11) In the WarGames Steel Cage match; Sideshow (w/his sister Danielle), "the Marquee" Bruce Santee (w/Amy Love), Sedrick Strong & The Black Market (Joey Machete & Shawn Murphy) defeated 911 Inc's Kory Chavis, Shawn Osborne, Francisco Ciatso, Mike Shane & "Hardcore Giant" Ron Niemi when Sideshow hit Niemi with a piledriver. Danielle and Love stopped Niemi from using powder in the match and former 911 member Jet Jaguar counted the pinfall.

These ten men have been at war since Pro Wrestling Riot began last year and the executive office set this match up hoping it would end the conflict that saw 911 put Danielle through a table. Needless to say the battle led to several men being cut open by the unforgiving steel. Here’s the order the ten men came out in: (1) Francisco Ciatso (2) Sideshow (3) Shawn Osborne (4) Sedrick Strong (5) Kory Chavis (6) Joey Machete (7) Mike Shane (8) Shawn Murphy (9) Ron Niemi (10) Bruce Santee.
