Squared Circle Wrestling
Date: 6/10/2006
From: Syracuse, NY
Attendance: 275
The event starts off with a pre-tape promo by Steve Corino, similar to what happened last month. Corino is sitting on a chair and looking down at the floor and when he raises his head he’s smiling. Corino enjoys knowing that he’s inside Brodie Lee’s head while not being at 2CW events. Brodie is chasing for a championship that he will never obtain for as long as Corino is around. Corino isn’t going to be staying for long, however. Corino reveals that he’ll be returning to 2CW next month on July 15th. He’s teaming with Jimmy Olsen and is challenging Brodie Lee to find a partner to take them on in a tag team no disqualification match. Corino doesn’t believe that Brodie will find someone willing to put their body on the line for him. Corino is willing to put his body on the line for 2CW Champion Jimmy Olsen and that makes them the winner before the bell even sounds.
Opening Contest: Antonio Thomas vs. Loca Vida: Thomas appeared to be showing a new level of intensity as he’s looking to breakaway from the stigma as a comedy wrestler that he had developed in the WWE. Thomas looked at Vida as being such a wrestler, and quickly took his frustrations out on Vida by hitting a backbreaker and a sit out spinebuster in the early moments. Vida battled back with a head scissors and a tornado DDT for a two count. Vida took Thomas out with a slingshot crossbody to the floor and danced over Thomas’ body, which appeared to tick Thomas off. On the floor. Thomas regrouped and sent Vida face first into the ring steps with a drop toe hold and a back suplex on the floor. Thomas rolled Vida into the ring and hit a middle rope leg drop to a hunched over Vida. Thomas quickly picked Vida up to hit a bridging northern lights suplex for the win after nine minutes of action.
A pre-tape promo by Jason Axe is shown. Axe talks about having won his feud with Frankie Arion and his most recent victory against Josh Daniels as a sign that he’s on the rise in 2CW after a slow start. Axe believes that it’s just a matter of time before he’s in the main events and winning championships. Tonight, he continues his upswing as he will show John Walters and the entire world that Jason Axe is a main event guy.
Second Contest: Brian Fury vs. Isys Ephex: Ephex started the match focusing on Fury’s left knee trying to prevent Fury from hitting his fast pace, hard hitting offense. Ephex delivered a knee breaker and jumping neckbreaker for a two count in the early moments of the match. Ephex missed a splash in the corner allowing Fury to hit a German suplex, but was bothered by his knee. Fury looked to hit a spear in the corner, but Ephex moved and Fury hit the ring post shoulder first. Ephex lifted Fury onto his shoulder to hit an electric chair slam for a near fall. Ephex attempted to deliver a Vertebreaker, but Fury rolled over and spiked Ephex with a piledriver. Fury continued his offense with uppercuts and a running knee strike in the corner.

Axe comes off the middle rope to deliver a knee drop to the lower back. Axe kept a body scissors on Walters and kept a sleeper on, but Walters didn’t give up. Walters stood up and rammed Axe back first into the corner to break free. However, Axe jumped off the middle rope to connect with a neckbreaker for a near fall. Axe gets a little too cocky by pie facing Walters and that leads to Walters responding with several stiff chops in the corner. Walters knocks Axe silly with a short arm clothesline. Walters continues with a series of snap suplexs and a delayed vertical for a near fall. Walters is noticeably gritting his teeth and holding his lower back. Walters sits Axe on the top rope and stands on the top rope, but with the referee out of position, Axe is able to deliver a low blow. Axe shoves Walters backwards to the mat. Walters struggles to his feet holding his back after the fall and Axe connects with a Death Valley Driver to pickup an upset victory after ten minutes of action!
A pre-tape segment with 2CW Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Olsen, Colin Olsen and Max Bauer is shown. Colin is clearly freaking out about his match with Brodie Lee later on. Jimmy is telling them that Steve Corino wouldn’t be happy to see them acting like cowards. Tonight is their chance to eliminate Brodie Lee and Spike Dudley. Bauer chimes in and says that he’s going to break that little bastard Spike Dudley in half. Colin is wondering why he’s stuck with having to take on Brodie and questions the decision making on that one. Jimmy gets in Colin’s face and says that this is about protecting the 2CW Heavyweight Championship and that Colin is more than capable to get the job done. Jimmy tells Colin to wake up and see that he has the ability to beat a guy twice his size. That appears to motivate both men and as they leave the scene Jimmy’s face turns to worry.
