RCW's 3rd Anniversary Show proved why we are still around after 3 years. This show brought it all to the table. Pure wrestling, hardcore stipulations, drama, and surprises. If you missed FC3, it will be available on DVD in the coming weeks through this website and through Front Row Video. Here's what you missed.

TRIPLE THREAT RCW WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
TNT (TRIK NASTY & TANK RUNYON)
VS
EXCALIBUR (NIC WRATH & ACE GIGOLO)
VS
THE FREAKSHOW (BRIAN FURY & SHIGROTH)
In the triple threat tag match, for the RCW World tag-team titles, it was the champs, TNT (Trik and Tank) against two former RCW championship teams, The Freakshow and Excalibur (Gigolo and Wrath). The match started off quick with Trik and Brian Fury trading move for move in some great scientific wrestling. Trik gained a slight edge of Fury long enough to tag in Tank. Shortly afterwards, Nic Wrath was tagged in to go toe to toe with big Tank and was pummeled from corner to corner. After an illegal move, Wrath tagged in Ace, who threw a devastating trademark clothesline at Tank and almost scored a pinfall. Ace quickly followed this up with a belly to back suplex as well as a classic vertical. Still, Tank refused to be pinned and after knocking Trik to the floor, Ace tagged his partner back in. After getting his bearings, Tank tagged in Shigroth who immediately went to work on Wrath and had the upper hand until Ace tripped him up from the outside. Shigroth left the ring to attack Ace as Brian Fury came flying off the ring apron on both his own partner and Gigolo! This left Nic all alone and at the mercy of the champs as the finished off Wrath and got the 1-2-3! Winners: TNT (Trik and Tank)

Commissioner Dude Rock came to ringside and introduced V.L. Stricklett (formerly The Mastermind) out as well. After berating The former Master of Champions, the Commissioner explained what Stricklett's role would be for the night. To draw the stipulations and hand them to the almighty Commissioner. Stricklett reluctantly did so and the tournament was underway.

1ST ROUND ROULETTE TOURNAMENT MATCH
COAL MINER'S GLOVE MATCH
RANDY "THE KING" ALLEN VS "THE MONGOLIAN" TEIJO KAHN
The rules of the Coal Miner's Glove match are pretty simple. The steel laced glove is atop a pole in one of the ring corners. Whoever can climb and retrieve the glove is able to use it. Allen had prepared to face Ricochet in this bout, but instead got the Mongolian. Ricochet was found lying face down in the locker room before the show. Doctor's refused to let him wrestle after it was determined that Ricochet may have a slipped disc in his back from the attack. Who attacked Ricochet? No one knows, but the Mongolian was now receiving an excellent opportunity at the RCW World Championship. Kahn and Allen went toe-to-toe. Eventually Allen climbed the ropes in the corner and retrieved the steel laced Coal Miner's Glove. Allen battered Kahn with the glove. Kahn though proved how devious he can be when he pulled an object from his boots and used it on Allen. Kahn then gained control of the glove, working Allen over. Allen fought back and rolled Mongolian up in a small package for the victory. Winner via pinfall ADVANCING TO SEMI-FINALS: Randy "The King" Allen.

1st ROUND ROULETTE TOURNAMENT MATCH
FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH
DIRK EXTREME VS FLASH FURY
The rules are simple. There are no rules. Not only that but you can pin your opponent anywhere in the building or outside for that matter as the case would prove to be. This is the first time these two competitors have ever locked horns. Flash was only over Dirk Extreme early on. A suicide dive through the ropes took Extreme to his back on the floor. Flash didn't stop there performing crazy cannonball off of the apron onto the former champion. The two then battled throughout the building using trash cans, chairs, and anything else they could find. Extreme took back over with a huge suplex onto the concrete floor. Fury would not stay down. Flash was able to take back over on Dirk and perform a frog splash off a chair to the hard floor below. The match would go to the restrooms and then to the icy streets of Portsmouth. Dirk Extreme performed his Excommunicator (slingshot butterfly suplex) off a truck into the cold, wet street. Dirk Extreme would then get the pin. Winner via pinfall: Dirk Extreme

1st ROUND ROULETTE TOURNAMENT MATCH
LAST MAN STANDING
C.O. HUSTLER VS TOMMY CHILL
This feud has just started but has been a long time in the making. These two made their RCW debut together as the Angry Black Men back in July of 2003. They were always allies. Allies until last year when DDK, Dangerous Damien Kass, was banished from RCW. It seemed he was the thread that held these two together. We witnessed a new Tommy Chill. One who became fond of Slammin' Sammy and shook Flash Fury's hand in respect. On the other hand C.O. Hustler has become the opposite. Hustler has dominated the year by doing whatever it takes to stay TV Champion. In Jackson, Hustler beat down Sammy after the match, sending a message to Chill in the process. Now these two would battle in the grueling Last Man Standing Match. To win this match your opponent must reach his feet by the count of 10. These two battled back and forth throughout the bout. The match was so grueling that in the end, neither man could reach the count of 10 and thus neither advanced in the tournament. WINNER: DRAW

1st ROUND ROULETTE TOURNAMENT MATCH
TEXAS BULLROPE MATCH
SLAMMIN' SAMMY VS JUDAS THORN
The Texas Bullrope match is similar to the Russian Chain Match. The rope is tied to the wrist of each man. There is steel cowbell in the middle of the rope which can be used. To win the match, you must drag your opponent to all 4 corners of the ring, touching the turnbuckles in the process. Once all 4 corners are touched, the winner is declared. Judas Thorn went into this bout thinking he had to wrestle Chris Hickok. Hickok was unable to make it to FC3 due to the weather. Slammin' Sammy took Hickok's place and the bout was on. What a strange bout it was. Sammy didn't know what to think of the monster Thorn. Thorn didn't know what to think of Sammy. In fact the two couldn't seem to figure out the others weakness until Lord Arion came up with a plan. Sammy had been mesmerized by the cowbell during the match. Lord Arion and Nadja came up with a quick strategy that would leave everyone scratching their heads wondering what exactly they had just seen. Judas led Sammy around the ring like a cow to all 4 corners. Sammy would yell "MOO!" while crawling on all fours. Sammy was playing, The Coven was not. Judas won the bout and beat on Sammy afterwards. Winner of the Texas Bullrope Match: Judas Thorn (Advancing to the finals since neither Hustler nor Chill advanced)

INTERNET TITLE MATCH
TYSON ROGERS VS "BEAUTIFUL" BOBBY L
In Jackson, Bobby had gotten a victory over Tyson in the Non-Title match. What would happen tonight would be the question that would soon be answered. Ranger Bob introduced the two combatants to the ring and to everyone's surprise Tyson Rogers came out dressed as Santa Claus. Tyson got on the mic and told Bobby that he was in the Christmas spirit in case you couldn't tell and that he had a present for Bobby. It turned out that present was a big ol' knuckle sandwich. The two skirmished for a bit until Bobby retreated to the outside and took a breather. Bobby returned to the ring and the two traded off for the beginning minutes of the match until it spilled out onto the outside. On the outside Bobby reversed an Irish whip attempt from Tyson Rogers and sent Tyson right into the ring post and through the guardrail. Bobby controlled the match for the next several minutes until Tyson got back on the offensive. Then right when it looked like Tyson would be finishing up Bobby, Bobby cut Tyson off and stunned the big man with a couple shots. Bobby then made his way to the outside and got a steel chair and the Internet Title belt. Bobby was getting ready to use the chair on an unsuspecting Tyson Rogers until referee Lanny Eldred snatched it out of Bobby's hands and went to toss it out of the ring. However, as this was going on Bobby grabbed the belt and laid Tyson out with it and got the pin after the shot from the belt. Winner and NEW Internet Champion: "Beautiful" Bobby L

SEMI-FINAL ROULETTE TOURNAMENT MATCH
I QUIT MATCH
RANDY "THE KING" ALLEN VS DIRK EXTREME
In this type of match, you can do anything you want, but in order to win you must make your opponent say..."I Quit!". Neither man is known for quitting so this bout would be a long, brutal contest. It's no secret that Dirk Extreme has never beaten Randy Allen. Every time they face Allen ends up on top. The two started with devastating chops and punches. Then they went right to the submissions early on with both refusing to quit. The action spilled to the floor and then the concession area. The Loony Referee was right there with the microphone in hand asking each combatant if they Quit. Extreme used a chain to bust open the forehead of Allen. Allen retaliated with a steel chair. Back in the ring Allen started working over the leg, setting Extreme up for the figure four leg lock. Allen took the chain from Dirk and started stuffing the chain into the back of his boot to add more pressure and pain to the figure four. Dirk was ready though as Allen turned around and caught a chair to the head. Allen still refused to quit. Extreme placed the chair onto Allen's face and climbed to the top rope. It was obvious that Allen had done damage to the leg of Extreme, but Extreme risked his limb to try to attain the victory. He leaped with a leg drop from the top, but Allen threw the chair up at Extreme. Extreme's crashed his leg into the chair and the mat. Allen finished stuffing the chain into his boot and wrapped Dirk up in the Figure Four once again. Extreme would not give-up. Allen grabbed the ropes for leverage which is legal in this type of match. The pain was too much and Allen picked up the victory and advanced to the Finals. Winner via submission: Randy "The King" Allen
After the match Nic Wrath & Ace Gigolo attacked Allen. Dirk Extreme saved Allen and said that "Tonight, the better man won" and wished Allen luck in the FINALS.

THE SLAMMIN' SAMMY INVITATIONALS
We were all wondering what this was going to be about. Whatever it was, one man answered the challenge of Sammy. "The Mongolian" Teijo Kahn came to the ring. Sammy let us in on the Invitational. Three games would be played. Hide and Seek, Tag, and Red Light, Green Light. This was quite possible the funniest thing anyone has seen in wrestling. The crowd loved it. You have to see this on DVD in order to appreciate it. Sammy won the game of tag. Kahn then won Hide and Seek. Ranger Bob accused Kahn of moving during Red Light, Green Light and Sammy was declared the winner. Sammy won the Invitational and retained his medal. Afterwards Kahn attacked Sammy and stole his "special" medal.

FINAL ROUND OF THE ROULETTE TOURNAMENT
RCW WORLD TITLE MATCH
LUMBERJACK STRAP MATCH
RANDY "THE KING" ALLEN VS JUDAS THORN
It all came down to this. One of these two men would be leaving the RCW World Heavyweight Champion, but not without a price. The ring was surrounded by lumberjacks with belts in their hands. Every time a wrestler gets thrown from the ring, they get strapped by the wrestlers until they get back into the ring. Randy Allen had went through two opponents to get to the finals while Judas Thorn received a bye through the Semi-Finals. Judas was obviously the fresher of the two. The battle began and Allen gave it everything from the get go but Judas was too strong. Throughout the match, the two would get thrown from the ring and get lit up by the swinging leather. Allen wrapped Judas into the figure-four. Judas escaped but was thrown to the outside. As he tried to reenter the ring, Dirk Extreme limped from the back and stood on the apron strapping Judas. Judas grabbed Extreme and knocked him off the apron. Allen seen an opportunity and took over on Thorn. Allen took the monster off his feet and went to the top and dropped the elbow for the win. WINNER AND NEW RCW HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION: RANDY "THE KING" ALLEN.
Afterwards Allen gave a heartfelt speech. The Coven grabbed Dirk Extreme and dragged him to the back. Allen chased after.
