An intense evening of pro wrestling action took place in Harper’s Ferry, WV on Saturday, November 14th during Primal Conflict Wrestling’s (PCW) A Night To Remember IX.
The night started off with a Tag Team Cage match, highlighting the ongoing struggle between PCW’s father-son duo Jimmy and Jack Cicero and Logan Easton LaRoux and Alexander James. Though the Cicero’s came out on top in their previous bout with LaRoux and James complements of WWE Legend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, no such assistance was to be had this time around. Jimmy (the elder Cicero) found himself locked outside of the cage regards of manager Ken Doll very early in the match. While he found his way back inside eventually, his return to the confine of the cage could not undo the beating Jack received in the process. LaRoux and James, the ultimate opportunists, were able to flee the cage after handcuffing Jimmy to the cage. There was little time for celebration, however, as the pair ran backstage, avoiding the enraged father.
Hoss Hagood of Country Strong defeated Chuck Lennox of Black Wall Street. While Lennox and the referee were fighting over control of Hagood’s signature cowbell, Hagood was able to sneak in a Spine Buster for a quick win over Lennox.
PCW newcomer Gory had been struggling to experience his first victory, but was finally successful in his third fight, a re-match against Fenix Fury from September’s Next Level. The match was an exciting, back-and-forth high-flying spectacle, but Gory came out on top while reversing Fury’s Frog Splash. Gory drove his knees into Fury’s unprotected chest, giving him time to roll-up PCW’s resident luchador for a well-deserved first win.
The team of Doug Delicious, Nui Tofiga, Evan McCloud and C.A. Elliot defeated the team of Mark Bravura, Drolix, and Punk Rock All-Stars – Drake Carter and Shaun Cannon in an Elimination Tag Team match. Tofiga quickly subdued Drolix, but the match went downhill from there for his team. Tofiga, McCloud and Elliot all found themselves eliminated with ease, leaving Doug Delicious to fend for himself against three healthy wrestlers. Delicious did not disappoint his teammates, as he went on to eliminate Carter and Cannon on his own. Left with only Mark Bravura to defeat, Delicious went into 80’s mode, nailing Bravura with a Hulk Hogan-esque Big Boot and Leg Drop, leaving Bravura in the dust.
Next on the card was PCW’s annual D.O.A. Memorial Cup Revolution Rumble. A traditional Battle Royal match, the winner is awarded the D.O.A. Memorial Trophy, allowing them the chance to challenge a PCW title holder at any time for their respective championship. The match included Drolix, Chuck Lennox, Hoss Hagood, Psycho Fusion, Drake Carter, Shaun Cannon, Gory and Fenix Fury. The final two competitors were Drolix and Hagood. Drolix’s ally Chuck Lennox used this unique opportunity to avenge his loss from earlier in the night. Lennox sneakily tugged the ring ropes, sending the unaware Hagood over the ropes to the floor, allowing Drolix to win this year’s Revolution Rumble. An excited Lennox was seen prancing around the ring with the trophy like a kid on Christmas. Drolix was notably less enthused.
PCW Tag Team Champions Jason “The Gift” Kincaid and “The Reaper” Matt Conard, better known as The Forgiven, once again retained their titles, this time against Doc Gallows and Tama Tonga, members of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Bullet Club. While Kincaid and Conard were on the receiving end of a beating courtesy of the NJPW stars, their manager, Tyler Steele, ran-in and assaulted Tonga, causing the ref to call for the bell. Though Gallows and Tonga did not win the Tag Team Championship, they were afforded the opportunity to lay waste to Steele following his interference, leading to a very happy PCW crowd.
A Night To Remember IX’s main event was headlined by PCW Champion Bobby Shields, who defended his title against Dirty Money. Through a hard-fought battle, Dirty Money was able to stay ahead of the crowd-favorite, earning the 1-2-3 following his Money Clip finishing move. That wasn’t the only twist in store for PCW’s fans. Drolix soon entered the ring, redeeming is chance to battle Dirty Money for the PCW Championship. Though he had just lost the title, former champ Bobby Shields was seen trying to stave off Lennox, doing anything he could to keep Drolix from attaining PCW gold. Shields’ attempt was futile, as Drolix’s hand was eventually held high in the air by the referee, making him Primal Conflict Wrestling Champion.
