- PSYCH IS BACK! JACOB MYLES IS BACK! NEW CHAMP! Yeah, a lotta news, so let's
get to it.
- On September 30, CJ Williams continued his winning ways with a win over Johnny
K. Special K sent a message to Yakuza J in their increasingly heated rivalry by
defeating Blood Money with an Axe Bomber and a Northern Lights Bomb. In the
semi-main, PSYCH made his comeback to VCW after over half a year. His last match
was the 2-of-3 Falls Canadian Title Match against Nick Price, which he lost.
After this, he became discouraged and went on a learning excursion to the four
corners of the earth, seeking to gain as much knowledge as he could, with the
ultimate goal of coming back and winning all the gold in VCW. His first match
back was a successful one, with a huge win over Yakuza J, dropping him on his
head and neck with a Tiger Driver '98. Obviously whatever PSYCH did in his time
off and travels worked, because he certainly hadn't lost a step after 6+ months
off, and in fact had, dare we say, GAINED a step. A big assist in the match,
however, goes to Special K, who interfered against Yakuza and essentially cost
him the match. Special K is trying to show Yakuza that he cannot bully him as he
thought he could, going into their match at the 250th Show. In the main, Ruckus
came back from his face-destroying injury earlier in the month, having healed
quite well. He was unable to confront the man who did it to him, Allan Creasy,
as Creasy was serving his 30 day suspension from VCW after losing to Nick Price.
Ruckus teamed with fellow Newton Boy, Daniel Makabe, as they took on the two men
who would face each other for both belts at the 250th Show, Scott Henson and
Nick Price. The Newton Boys' offense was Eliminator-ific, and after a
miscommunication between Henson and Price resulting in a Critical! and Busaiku
Knee colliding, Makabe and Ruckus hit the Total Elimination on Henson and pinned
the Triple Crown Champion for the win. The next week, Scott Henson, Daniel
Makabe, and Yakuza J headed to Ohio for their third Backyard Fest each, Backyard
Fest 9. Scott Henson took on LK2000 and Dave Cole in a Dogfight, a match none of
the participants were too familiar with, but they worked excellently within the
structure with LK2000 coming out the eventual winner. Daniel Makabe & Yakuza J
(or The Million Dollar Dan & Yakuza the Giant), now of course enemies in VCW,
were reunited for one night to take on Tommy Carolina and Russell Myers (or
Macho Man Randy Carolina and Hulk Myers). After a great match reminiscent of
Summerslam '88, the New Megapowers got the win after a Flying Elbow and Big
Legdrop on Makabe. Daniel Makabe was also the only person to have a proper match
on Day 2, though he probably wishes he didn't, seeing as he lost the WSW World
Title to Jonathan Hitler. There are rumors that something happened back in VCW
that weekend too, but no one can seem to prove it. The following week, October
14, everyone was back for Crotchtoberfest, the 249th show. This show saw an
excellent 5-way between Nick Price, Special K, Yakuza J, CJ Williams, and Zeus
McFly. Yakuza J got the win over Special with a Powerslam to Northern Lights
Bomb out of nowhere, giving him lots of momentum going into their singles match
the next week. The quality of this match made the bookers seriously consider
changing the entire 250th Show to 5-ways, but it was not to be. And speaking of
the 250th Show, the Bicenquinquagennial as it were, it was upon us. We opened up
with J-Nox taking on newbie Aaron Noval (who should just get it over with and
change his name to Aaron Neville). This match barely got started before J-Nox
unfortunately suffered a separated shoulder, and the match was ruled a no
contest. This would turn out to be J-Nox's last match in VCW, as he is moving to
Alberta. There's never gonna be a better time to use this, so... we wish him all
the best in his future endeavours. Best cliche ever. Anyway, second on the card
was Blood Money taking on Drew Sarian. Money was brutal with Sarian in the
match, and finished with a Curb Stomp that knocked Sarian out, and may have, in
fact, killed him. If true, this would be Blood Money's second homicide in a VCW
ring, the first of course being the decapitation of Invisible Chicho. Third up
was CJ Williams putting his unfeated streak on the line against Dokta Kron's
opposite-of-undefeated streak. Would CJ win and both streaks stay intact? Would
Kron win and end both streaks? Or, according to the ring announcer, would ONE
person's streak end, WHICH IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE? Well, it turns out both
streaks ended. Kron popped up from CJ's thought-to-be-devastating Hero Killer
like it was NOTHING and hit the Screw U for his first win and CJ's first loss.
It is unknown whether CJ took Kron too lightly, or if Kron just had it all
together that night and that last huge burst of adrenaline did it for him.
"Greasy" Allan Creasy's one-month suspension from VCW was up at this show, as he
took on Zeus McFly. McFly looked to have it won with the Camel Clutch, but
Creasy reversed into a Gedo Clutch and held onto the ropes for the cheap win.
PSYCH took on Daniel Makabe in a rematch from 50 shows ago (the 200th Show).
PSYCH learned from his mistakes in their last match and was able to successfully
hit the PSYCH Spike on Makabe, following up with a Somersault Tiger Driver '98
(much like Makabe followed up with the Somersault Trapper Keeper at the 200th)
for the big win. PSYCH has yet to lose since coming back. Jacob Myles then made
his first appearance in a VCW ring in nearly a year (his last match being the
Canadian Title Ladder Match he lost to Allan Creasy at Best of the Rest in
November '05). He gave an interview in which he looked to be announcing his
official return to the ring, but was rudely interrupted by
enemy-turned-fried-turned-enemy Allan Creasy, and a fight and in fact an
impromptu match broke out between the two. Myles was all over Creasy and hit the
911 Times 1000, but as he went up for the Swanton, Creasy rolled out of the ring
and left with Daniel Makabe, giving Myles the unsatisfying countout victory.
Next was the very heated match between Special K and Yakuza J, which had been
brewing since the Newton Boys had paid off Yakuza J to take out Special K after
Duke of the Hill, and even before that, from their prior singles matches. The
match was more even than you would expect, given Yakuza's size and experience
advantage, but Special K was fighting with a purpose and wouldn't back down.
Yakuza hit the NLB2K6, but instead of going for the pin, took Special K to the
top rope, which proved to be his fatal mistake. After K firing back and a battle
on the top turnbuckle, K was able to hit a Top-rope Darkness Buster for what may
be the biggest win of his career. That only leaves the main event, with Triple
Crown Champion Scott Henson taking on Canadian Champion Nick Price in a Title
vs. Title "Must Be a Winner" Match. They went to a time limit draw in March,
Nick beat Scott in a Dogfight in April, Scott beat Nick in a Triple Crown Match
at Canada Day, and they went to a double pin in their first title vs. title
match in August. Everyone knew this was the one, and that someone was going home
with both belts. To say both men busted out all the stops (spots?) is an
understatement. Price was looking to hit the Premium Bridge, which he had never
hit on Henson, and Henson was looking for the Ka-Blamo 2K6 which got the win
over Price at Canada Day, or one of his You Sunk _________ maneuvers, which is
almost a guaranteed match finisher. Price was actually able to hit the Premium
Bridge, but Henson found it within himself to kick out. The action spilled
outside and Price hit an amazing Top-to-floor Moonsault with Henson lying on the
ground, which ended up hurting Price's leg, but he continued. Back in the ring,
Henson killed Price with spikiest 2K6 ever, but may have taken too long cover
him, as Price kicked out. Henson wasted no time in picking up Price and getting
him to the top rope, as he called for You Sunk The World, a move which has never
been hit on a VCW member (Chris Frank, Omega, and LK2000 being the only victims
thus far). And it is to remain that way, as Price was able to land on his feet
out of the You Sunk The World attempt and immediately lock on the Border City
Stretch, a move he had applied twice earlier in the match, which did its damage.
He transitioned from the Stretch to the Clutch (i.e. Camel Clutch-style Border
City Stretch), but Henson would still not give it up, refusing to let his Triple
Crown Title reign of 8+ months die. Henson looked to be passing out from the
pain, so the ref lifted his hand three times, with Henson barely able to stop
his hand from dropping the third time. The two stood up, still with the Border
City locked on, and Price hit the first ever Border City Suplex and rolled back
into an even nastier Border City Clutch than before, leaving Henson absolutely
no choice but to tap out. Nick Price is your new Triple Crown Champion, and is
only the 8th person of which that can be said (the others being Scott Henson,
Yakuza J, Daniel Makabe, Lenny D, Chris Mason, Russell Myers, and Ruckus), and
is of course still the Canadian Champion as well, making him the only Quadruple
Crown Champion in the modern history of VCW. That takes us to Halloween weekend
and deathmatches aplenty. On October 28, we kicked off with a match that may
never be topped in terms of ridiculosity. Daniel Makabe and Special K
participated in the first ever Party Deathmatch, which included, but was not
limited to: party streamers instead of ropes, a balloon table, Pin the Tail on
the Donkey, Musical Chair, and Taipei Fists of Death involving chocolate sauce,
peanuts, and mini M&M's. Next was the two men in the main event of the 250th
show, Scott Henson and new Quad Crown Champion Nick Price, taking on Yakuza J
and CJ Williams (who in fact have teamed up before at the supershow before the
250th Show, F*** the Censors) in a No-Ropes Deathmatch. This match type was out
of the norm for all four competitors, but they adapted quickly and tried to kill
each other. CJ Williams hit the Hero Killer on Scott Henson, sending him
backward directly into a German Suplex by Yakuza J for the win. So Yakuza and
Williams both bounce back from their high-profile losses the week prior. Next
was Adam Silva making his VCW re-debut (he competed 150 shows ago as Wigga T),
taking on Blood Money, who got the win with a footstomp off a ladder onto Silva
with chair strategically placed on him. In the main, Zeus McFly took on Mercury,
who looks to be back as a regular member of VCW, in a match with plunder
everywhere. Several tables were broken, garbage cans were jumped into and
footstomped into people, time-outs were called, etc. With a ladder placed on the
top ropes, spanning the entire length of the ring (like Zeus/Ruckus at Canada
Day '05), and a table place between the ladder and an adjacent top rope, an
exchange ensued, resulting in a Deep End by Mercury on McFly through the table
for the win, getting Mercury his first win in some time. On October 29, ALL THE
SAME MATCHES HAPPENED WITH THE EXACT SAME RESULTS. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
