eiffel_71Went to the wrestling at the Thorngate this evening. Loudmouth heel Flying Phil Powers was back, although we didn't hear much trash talking from him at first - he just shouted abuse at a couple of hecklers, which was mostly inaudible thanks to the noisy kids who made up 70% of the crowd. A heel team, including 'The Zulu Prince', won the six man tag team elimination match - by cheating, of course - so in the next match, the individual final, I naturally thought Kris Kay, the local man and a face, would beat Powers. Instead, The Zulu Prince came out to ringside and kept attacking Kris while the ref's back was turned, then the Zulu handed Powers a pair of brass knuckles. Kris succeeded in disarming him, then he put the knucks on and turned to hit Powers - only for the referee to turn back to the fight at that point and disqualify Kris.
While the crowd booed and Kris 'protested', Powers was presented with the cup and then took the mike and started the trash talking, running down the people of Gosport as cheaters and morons. That was the cue for Kris to take the mike and call Powers and The Zulu Prince despicable bastards (pretty fruity language given how many kids were present!) It was unfortunate that when The Zulu Prince tried to interrupt Kris, Kris told him "Shut up, you monkey." I'm sure he didn't mean it as racist, but he should have had the common sense to say 'idiot' or 'prat' instead. Kay went on to challenge the two of them to a tag match at the next Gosport event on 13 June. Powers, after another trashing of Gosport, suggested an alternative, him against Kay on 24 May at Southampton, prompting catcalls from all the wearers of Pompey shirts in the audience! Kris answered that he'd take on Powers anywhere as long as "that idiot" (pointing at the Zulu) was nowhere in sight. Then Mal, the chairman of the federation, made his way to the ring, and delighted the crowd when he began "I echo Kris Kay, there is only one word for you two - despicable." He said he'd seen everything from where he was standing, took the cup from Powers, announced that the result of the final was annulled and that a rematch would be held at the 13 June event - and that Powers was suspended until he stepped in the ring with Kay that night!
The wrestler most of the kids wanted to see was the Flatliner. His match was last. His opponent, Jase the Ace, got boos the moment he appeared simply because of who he was up against, but then confirmed his heel status with some trash talking of the audience. The Flatliner was his usual showman self, spraying water from his mouth into his opponent's face as always on entering the ring and doing all his showboating tricks, with a little help from his mini-me Little Lenny. Of course, he won, sending the kids home ecstatic.
