Thoughts from Nick Madrid:

Whenever I was asked the question of who I wanted to wrestle, I would always give the same answer, Scorpio Sky.  Not only have I always been a huge fan of the athlete that he is, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to take the next step in my career until I wrestled and was able to hold my own against him.  I finally got the chance at the first NWA Championship Wrestling From Hollywood non televised event. Sky and I were announced as the Main Event for his TV Title about one month prior to the show and it was not only a dream come true, but all I could think of leading up to the actual match.  It doesn’t get any better than Sky. Anyone who has ever seen him wrestle knows this. I’ll admit, I was nervous to be going up against such an excellent competitor, but at the same time was excited for the challenge that wrestling Sky would bring.  At the end of the night, I didn’t pick up the win, but I was proud of myself for taking that next step towards my future. Sky would later tweet that I was a champion in his eyes and that I could “go.” Although I couldn’t get the win this time, I am more than happy to settle for a compliment from Sky like that.

 

Recap from TJ Hawke:

Sky came to the ring with Christian Cole & Big Duke.  This match is for the International Television Championship that Sky holds. Rick Knox is the referee!

Sky went for an arm submission early.  Madrid escaped, but Sky hit him with a standing somersault splash.  They got to their feet, but Madrid took him down with a nifty headscissors.  Madrid got a nearfall with a butterfly suplex.  Sky seemed to get a Coquina Clutch, but Madrid made the ropes.  Sky was in control after that and said, “Who is effing man?”  Madrid came back with step-up enzugiri that Sky took a sweet bump for.  Madrid hit a dropkick, a Stinger Splash and a leg lariat.  Madrid got a nearfall with a running knee.  Sky came back with a back suplex for a nearfall.  They got to their feet and traded some forearms.  Sky went for a springboard move, but Madrid caught him and hit a Finlay roll.  Madrid then hit a Superfly splash: 1…2…NO!  Good nearfall.  SKy then drove Madrid right into Rick Knox, which knocked him out.  Madrid avoided Sky’s big Brogue Knee and hit Sky with a Running with the Bulls (swinging DDT).  One of Sky’s stablematches came in and gave Madrid a gutwrentch powerbomb.  Sky made the cover: 1…2…NO!  Sky then hit the Brogue Knee and a TKO: 1…2…3!

 

The ring announced then said he was informed that due to the questionable tactics of Scorpio Sky, Madrid will receive another TV Title shot on TV.

 

I enjoyed this match.  In terms of conveying personality, Sky seems to be a natural heel, but it’s a shame that his exciting in-ring stuff has to be diminished as a result.  I really believe he would be a mainstay of several promotions on the east coast if it didn’t cost so much to fly him out.  Madrid’s improvement from year to year is quite evident.

About TJ Hawke

TJ was a fan of wrestling as a kid (starting around 1999), and his first concrete wrestling memory is some kid bringing Hulk Hogan his old yellow and red gear backstage during an episode of Nitro. Hogan needed the gear to defeat Kevin Nash in a title vs. career match at the next WCW PPV. Nash lost the match and his career, which sadly resulted in the world losing out on seeing Kevin Nash matches for the last 13 years. Like almost all young kids, TJ’s interest in wrestling fluctuated over the years until an episode of Raw on July 3, 2006. TJ was curious and excited to see his beloved RVD show up with the WWE Title belt and what he thought was the revitalized European title. TJ decided he must turn to the the internet to figure out what was going on. Almost 6 years later, TJ is still searching the internet every day to find out what is going on in wrestling. Now though, he writes for the pop culture site (411mania.com), has his own blog (The Best of Chikara), and is the creator of the very site you are reading now.
