ESW Reckoning Day
February 19th, 2005 from St. Johnsburg Fire Hall
in Wheatfield, NY
-Captain
Dan Glanowski introduced ESW Heavyweight Champion Jonny Puma (accompanied
by Randy Walker and Ice) to the ring to talk about his career
vs. career casket match for the ESW Heavyweight Title. Puma was
interrupted by druids rolling out the casket to ringside. Sure
that Shade was inside it, Puma told Walker and Ice to open it
up. When they couldn't find him there, Puma told them to look
all around the building. With Puma's back turned, Shade emerged
from the casket, covered in a purple sheet and attacked Puma with
the mandible claw.

Non-Title Match: Wrestling Express (Benjamin Smythe & Brandon
Thurston) beat A.C. O'Reilly & Brett Mednik when Thurston
pinned O'Reilly after the Suplay.
2.
"Amazing" Kevin Grace beat Gabriel Saint after a fireman's
carry into a bulldog.
3.
2 Legit (Ash & Hornet) beat Eric Everlast & Ron Falco
when Hornet pinned Falco with a sunset flip.
-After the match, Ash & Hornet took the microphone and demanded
a tag team title match. This brought out Smythe and Thurston,
who said they would defend the belts when they're ready to. Next,
ESW Commissioner Clayon T. McAllister made his entrance. Comissioner
Clayton announced that at Full Throttle, in singles matches,
Ash would face Thurston and Hornet would face Smythe. If the 2
Legit team wins even one of those matches, they become number-one
contenders for the ESW Tag Team Title.
4.
"Inferno" Johnny Adams beat Cade Cassidy with a frog
splash.
-Cassidy's personal assistant Armand had a chair kicked in his
face by Adams during the course of the match. After Cassidy lost,
Armand came back out to check on him. Then, from behind came "Mr.
300" J.P. Hawke and "Gutterball" Scotty Roberts
as Cassidy fled the ring, leaving Armand by himself. Hawke and
Roberts took him down, set him up and rolled the bowling ball
in between the legs of Armand.
5.
Mastiff beat Chris Cooper by disqualification.
-After Mastiff hit a diving headbutt and went for the cover, Cooper's
fellow Wrestling Inc. members, Benjamin Smythe and Brandon Thurston
ran down to the ring to put Cooper's leg on the ropes. Seeing
this happen, Mastiff vaulted over ropes onto both of them. However,
this gave Cooper the opportunity to lock-in the Coop de Gras on
Mastiff, which he refused to break when Mastiff got the ropes
and repeatedly shoved the referee down, resulting in the disqualification.
-After the match, Mastiff took the microphone and challenged Cooper
to an I Quit match that has been signed for Full Throttle.
6.
Cody Steele Invitational Challenge: Cody Steele beat Andrew Davis
with a triangle submission.
-Before announcing the debut of the Cody Steele Invitational,
Steele asked for his former valet, Jennifer Blake to come to the
ring. Cody half-heartedly apologized and asked her to be by his
side again, but Jennifer refused and walked out. This left Steele
furious as he destroyed the first entry into the Cody Steele Invitiational,
Andrew Davis.
7.
ESW Heavyweight Title - Casket - Career vs. Career Match: Jonny
Puma beat Shade to retain the title.
-As Shade appeared to have the match won after a mandible claw
and STO on the casket, Randy Walker and Ice attempted intefere.
Walker and Ice both got misted and took a moonsault plancha on
the outside. This, however, gave Puma enough time to get out of
the casket. Puma and Shade continued to battle back and forth
until the casket was brought in the ring, the lid was removed
and Shade was powerbombed by Puma through a table which was over
the casket, ending Shade's career.
-After Shade had lost, the lights went down and numerous druids
came to the ring and surrounded the casket. They then left, with
the casket empty and Shade's mask laying in the ring.
