Results: NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling, 06/10/12, from Warner Robins, GA


“The Real Deal” Jake Slater (w/ Joey Kidman) defeated Leon McMichaels via pinfall

Referee: Dee Byers

Kidman and Slater get a decent pop when they come out, but Leon’s pop is bigger. Slater does a good job at keeping control for most of the match and finishes Leon with the piledriver for the win.

A taped promo from Davey Richards is played. It’s focused on promoting the challenge that was issued from the last show. We’re told that Richards should be coming back in July.

A taped promo from Doc Gayton is played. It mainly just covers the Rampage Cup Tag Team Tournament that is starting during the show. He advertises Jimmy Rave & Kyle Matthews taking on the ROH Tag Team of Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander and says it will be the first match of Round 1.

Rampage Cup Qualifying Match

Jimmy Rave Approved (Corey Hollis & “Do or Die” Chip Day) defeated Drew Adler & Anthony Henry via pinfall

Referee: Dee Byers

The match saw Drew taking most of the heat from Approved, which lead to a slightly lackluster hot tag due to Adler being more over with the crowd than Henry. Posey comes out to get Henry’s attention, leading to Hollis rolling him up for the victory.

AJ Steele comes out after the match. Approved gets out of dodge as AJ enters the ring and throws Henry out. He calls Murder 1 out. Murder comes out to the ramp but doesn’t want any of AJ, so the man of steel runs out after his former Suspect partner and follows him backstage. We hear a crash in the crowd, but nothing comes of it. Might end up being a televised-only segment.

Rampage Cup Qualifying Match

BFF (“Marvelous” Michael Stevens & “Adorable” Anthony Andrews) defeated Tommy Daniels & CB Gibson via pinfall

Referee: Stan Robinson

Gibson takes heat during this match, and Tommy Daniels makes constant attempts to rally the crowd behind him. Stevens gets much better reactions from the crowd, albeit not in his favor, than Daniels. With the referee’s back turned, BFF picks up the victory with a hit from their usual game-winning container.

Rampage Cup Round 1 Match

J-Rod & Frankie Valentine defeat Cash Vault (“Hit for Hire” Bobby Moore & Rob Adonis)(w/ Charlie Cash) via pinfall

Referee: Dustin Robinson

Contrary to Doc advertising the first Round 1 match to feature Rave, Matthews, Alexander & Coleman, we’re given this to wrap up the first hour of the show. “Barney” chants are pretty constant in this match. Cash Vault pulls every trick in the book to get the edge over their opponents, but Valentine manages to pick up the victory for his team with a sunset flip pin over Bobby as J-Rod delivered a very stiff knee to Adonis.

Rampage Cup Qualifying Match

Hot Like Lava (Cru Jones & Shaun Banks) defeated “The Real Deal” Jake Slater & “WildChild” Joey Kidman via pinfall

Referee: Dee Byers

With yet another match against a heel team and their willingness to play to the crowd, Hot Like Lava might very well have taken a full face turn. With Lava’s experience as a tag team far exceeding that of Slater and Kidman, they manage to come out on top of this one. Easily one of the best matches of the show.

Anthony Henry defeated Mike Posey via submission

Referee: Stan Robinson

The crowd was really into this one. Approved comes out to help Posey but are stopped in their tracks by Drew Adler. Henry gets the victory with the cloverleaf.

A video is shown featuring someone who was seemingly deranged. The promo seemed like some of Mankind’s more sinister ones, or like Kane or Abyss have done recently. The crowd doesn’t know what to think of the video.

Rampage Cup Round 1 Match

Kyle Matthews & Jimmy Rave defeated Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alxander via pinfall

Referee: Dustin Robinson

Despite what seemed to be a face turn by Rave at the last show, he pulled his usual antics in this one. Kyle went for the hot tag and Rave hesitated to make it, but does so and starts going all-out like a face usually would. Up until this point it seemed Kyle and Rave wouldn’t be able to work together, but once they did it was only a matter of time before they got the victory.

Rampage has not shown or released an official bracket for the Rampage Cup. The following teams are currently in the Tournament:

Corey Hollis & Chip Day (Round 1)

Michael Stevens & Anthony Andrews (Round 1)

Cru Jones & Shaun Banks (Round 1)

J-Rod & Frankie Valentine (Round 2)

Jimmy Rave & Kyle Matthews (Round 2)

Round 1 has an odd number of teams right now, so it’s possible for more qualifying rounds to come up
