- Let's get right to it. On September 16, "Greasy" Allan Creasy was scheduled to
make his first defense of the Canadian Title against the last man pinned in Duke
of the Hill the week prior, Special K. However, the match had barely begun when
Yakuza J ran in and attacked Special K, apparently after having been paid off by
the Newton Boys to take him out (obviously there is still some bad blood from
Duke of the Hill). Another Duke of the Hill participant, Nick Price, ran out to
even the score and an impromptu tag match started with Special K and Nick Price
taking on Allan Creasy and Yakuza J. With Special K and Yakuza J brawling on the
outside, Price was able to hit the Busaiku Knee on Creasy and get the clean pin
on the man who (sort of) beat him for the Canadian Title the week before, surely
earning Price a one-on-one rematch for the title. In fact, right after the
match, Price challenged Creasy to a title match the next week, with the
stipulation that the loser must leave VCW for 30 days. Creasy and manager Makabe
came back with a mountain of stipulations, with the main ones being that Price
may have no one in his corner and that if he loses, he can never have another
shot against Creasy, to which Price agreed. Next up, Dano Nuhn, who accompanied
Aaron Noval the week prior, made his in ring debut against J-Nox as El Bago
Shitto, giving a good showing, but falling to an inside cradle rollup. CJ
Williams took on a tall task to keep his winning streak alive: a non-title match
with Triple Crown Champion Scott Henson. Williams was still able to sneak one
out, after hitting the Hero Killer on the floor after reversing an Emerald
Frosion off the apron by Henson. Williams was able to get back into the ring
before the 20 count, while Henson was not, keeping CJ's win streak alive. Aaron
Noval's second ever VCW match was a pretty crazy one, as he took on Zeus McFly
in a hardcore match, where anything can, and does, happen. Noval suffered a
broken nose and chipped tooth early in the match after a ridiculoud McFly chair
throw, but shook it off and continued another 10+ minutes. Several piledrivers
on cars later, Aaron hit McFly's own Fisherman Buster onto a chair table for the
big win. That brings us to the Sept. 23/24 double shot. We started out with CJ
Williams taking on the mysterious but energetic luchador, Kel Generico. After
several brainbusters, CJ was able to hit the Hero Killer, but was not able to
answer the 10 count afterwards. Luckily, neither was Generico, and they went to
a double KO and Williams remains undefeated. Yakuza J and Zeus McFly had a
hard-hitting encounter, with Yakuza trying to murder McFly with kicks and chops,
and McFly doing his best to ground the big man. The end came after two Northern
Lights Bombs onto an unbreakable plastic table by Yakuza on McFly, followed by
an interesting Katahajime Crossface for the quick tapout. In the main for the
23rd, Allan Creasy defended his Canadian Title against the man he beat two weeks
ago and the man he lost his first title to in February, Nick Price. Creasy was
all over Price's leg, trying to keep him down the whole match. Price fought back
with everything he could, this time abandoning his offense that led to the
Premium Bridge, fearing he wouldn't be able to bridge with his leg in its
condition, as was the case with Scott Henson when Henson worked over Price's
back all match. Instead, Price tried to catch Creasy offguard with other move in
his repertoire. Price very nearly had it won with the Busaiku Knee, where the
referee's hand actually came down for three, but Creasy kicked out just
fractions of a second before it. However, Price then hit Creasy's own DVD on him
and went up for the 450 Splash, which he just recently started using again after
perfecting it, and hit it beautifully to regain his Canadian Title and start his
second reign. If he can do what he did with his last reign, who knows how many
Canadian Title defenses Price will have in 2006. As per the stipulation, Allan
Creasy must leave VCW for 30 days. Post-match, Creasy went to shake hands with
Price but hit him with a HEY~! out of nowhere, obviously showing no change in
character. He immediately got his bag and left the VCW arena, presumably not to
be seen for a month. Sept. 24 started off with a (non-title) 3 Way between
Canadian Champion Nick Price, Special K, and Yakuza J. There was obviously still
heat between Special K and Yakuza J for Yakuza being the Newton Boys' hired gun
the previous week, and it came through in this match. After taking out Yakuza J,
Special K was able to pin the Canadian Champion with his new Wolf Suplex
(there's Dragon and Tiger, why not Wolf?). This surely sets him up for a title
shot against Price down the line, and it's possible that K could make Price's
second Canadian Title reign a lot shorter than his first one. A lot of people
are picking K to be the next new person to win gold in VCW. Next up on the card
was Triple Crown Champion Scott Henson taking on a returning Mercury under the
Tiger M persona. Mercury had a very good showing for himself considering his
time off, trying to make an impression against the current top guy in VCW. After
a fake CRITICAL! causing Mercury to duck, Henson picked him up and nailed him
with Dick Murdoch's Slowly Brainbuster for the win. In the main, CJ Williams
kept his winning streak alive with a win over Zeus McFly, and a win over the
plastic table that was heretofore thought to be unbreakable. But a Prison
Piledriver from CJ begged to differ.
- Ruckus should be back this week (Sept. 30). His stitches are out and he is
ready to get back.

- Happy terrorist day! Another VCW supershow is in the books. This time it was
our only show that we've done 7 of other than Canada Day: our 7th Annual F***
the Censors. Our opener saw the still undefeated CJ Williams take on the
debuting Aaron Noval. Noval put in an excellent showing and we hope to see him
back, but he ended up falling to a ridiculous Top-rope Prison (double
hammerlock) Piledriver. CJ is obviously serious about his winning streak and is
taking no one lightly. On the other end of the spectrum, we had the
still-looking-for-a-win Dokta Kron taking on J-Nox in the second match, and the
second streak of the night stayed intact, as J-Nox got the win with the Shock &
Awe, a move yet to be kicked out of in VCW. Next up we had a rematch from Canada
Day, with Blood Money taking on Chicho in the first ever 2-of-3 Falls That Count
Anywhere Match. This stipulation makes sense, as a 2-of-3 Falls match is often
used as a feud escalates, and Chicho felt that had the last match been Falls
Count Anywhere, he would have won outright instead of by countout, after his
Canadian Destroyer off the top through a Chairtastrophe on the floor. Chicho
started strong and won the first fall with a Powerbomb to Canadian Destroyer
that he hadn't used since he did it on Chris Mason around this time last year.
Only as an added bonus this time, it was a Double Armtrap Canadian Destroyer, so
you know it's getting the pin. Blood Money came right back and stopped another
top-to-floor Destroyer attempt by Chicho and hit an Apron-to-floor Angels Wings
to even the score. Mr. Money, determined to get his win back from July, took it
up a notch and hit a crazy Shooting Star Press off the Coke machine through a
table on Chicho, to win the match 2-1 and taking full advantage of the Falls
Count Anywhere rules. Daniel Makabe made his return to active competition for
the first time since July, taking on Zeus McFly, whom he cost a match against
Ruckus in the Duke of the Hill qualifying. The match had a very lucha libre
flavour, with many armdrags exchanged on both sides. After a flurry of offense
by Makabe, he looked to seal things off with the Makabe Lock, but while still
standing in the double chickenwing, McFly was able to kick off the turnbuckle
and land on Makabe in a pin, getting the win, what many would call an upset
despite Makabe's time off. Lenny D also made his return to ring for the first
time in over 4 months, teaming with long-time partner and Triple Crown Champion
Scott Henson. They were scheduled to take on Yakuza J and a mystery partner. But
once again the mystery opponent angle didn't work out for Henson, as this time
it was planned to be Road Warrior Animal (who is NOT dead, unlike Road Warrior
Hawk, who was the last mystery opponent), but ironically, he could not make it
because he had to visit Road Warrior Hawk's grave. CJ Williams agreed to fill in
and work his second match of the night. Would this be a foolish move and lead to
him losing his first match? Short answer: no. Yakuza's M.O. all match was the
Chokeslam, knowing it is Henson's weakness, and after several failed attempts,
he was actually able to hit a double chokeslam on Henson AND Lenny D, and Yakuza
and Williams covered them both for the win. The main event was the first (and
possibly last?) ever VCW Duke of the Hill, a 5-way match with Nick Price
defending the Canadian Title against Ruckus, Special K, "Greasy" Allan Creasy,
and Drew Sarian. The somewhat complicated rules involved pinning or submitting
someone in order to get the right to grab the Canadian Title belt, climb a
ladder, and hang it above the ring (an inverted ladder match, as it were).
Additionally, the person who was pinned or submitted has to spend 2 minutes in a
penalty box. And "penalty box" is putting a rather friendly spin on what was
essentially a barbed wire cage. Before the match, the Fabulous Newton Boys were
so confident that one of them would win the title (as no alliances lay between
any of the other 3 participants) that they bet manager Daniel Makabe that if
neither won, they would reluctantly do Makabe's "Creasy and Ruckfunkel" concept
album, but if one of them won, Makabe had to break edge and have a goddamn beer
bash with them. Fast forward to the match: after some earlier teamwork, it
became every man for himself pretty quickly. Allan Creasy hit a Machine
Piledriver on Ruckus off the apron onto a ladder, which ended up slicing open
Ruckus's upper lip and face, taking him out of the match completely, and sending
him to the hospital before the match was even over. Ruckus ended up requiring 7
or 8 stitches, but he is expected to fully heal. Ruckus was one of what ended up
being three people bleeding in the match (the other two being Creasy and Drew
Sarian). After pinning Special K with the Premium Bridge and taking out Drew
Sarian with a Price Check, Nick Price looked to be on the way to making his 15th
successful defense of the Canadian Title, Allan Creasy came up from behind and
hit a powerbomb onto his knee off the ladder on Price. Creasy and Daniel Makabe
(who had already become physically involved several times already) handcuffed
Price to the bottom rope, allowing Creasy to saunter his way up the ladder while
angry fans pelted him with garbage. Creasy hung the belt and ended Nick Price's
7 month Canadian Title reign, which had begun when he defeated Creasy in
February. So as Creasy began his second Canadian Title reign, he and Makabe, as
promised, had a goddamn beer bash in the middle of the ring to close the show,
much to the fans' dismay. Ruckus has not been heard from since going to the
hospital, and he may not even know that his partner won the Canadian, or how he
might feel about it, seeing as his partner was the one that put him in the
hospital.
