RCW Maryland No Remorse Review



In a building in which this generation of a fans are accustomed to seeing goals scored by the Baltimore Blast, or the older generation remember many boxing matches, fans turned out to the Du Burns Arena for another great show from Maryland's rising independant wrestling company, Real Championship Wrestling.

Derek Frazier open up the show and set the tone immediately by addressing the crowd and letting them know that unfortunately Osiraian Portal would have to forfeit titles due to an injury. As Frazier was announcing how the tag titles would be decided, he was interrupted by BLK OUT members, Ruckus, Robby Mireno, and The Black Jeez.

Ruckus indicated that he was giving the titles to BLK OUT. Frazier immediately voided that match. He placed Ruckus in a match with a new comer, which he lost, and Mireno in a match with Ophidian which he also lost.


A match I was really looking forward to was The Black Jeez vs Ryan McBride. These two had a lot of animosity built up and they really displayed it in the ring. In the end, McBride would get himself disqualified, but that would not stop him from continuing to punish the Black Jeez at the conclusion of the match.

Christian York recieved his rematch for the RCW World Heavyweight Championship against Azrieal. When Azrieal won the title on August 6, he celebrated by running all over the DU Burns Arena. On this night, celebration time was over. These two really took it to each other, and many times during the match, I thought that perhaps Azrieal's title win was a fluke. In the end, Azrieal used a roll up with a Ric Flair-like assist from the ropes to score the victory.

Real Championship Wrestling T3 Highlights (Baltimore, MD)


Last night I had the pleasure of attending Real Championship Wrestling in Baltimore and it as a great event. Independent wrestling is great because you really feel like you are apart of the show. You see the wrestlers improve their craft right in front of your eyes, and then if they decide to advance their careers into the WWE then you can really see where they started and all their hard work pay off. I been attending independent wrestling since 2006, and immediately I feel in love. I have been a fan of this business since I was born so anytime I get to see two individuals lock up in the squared-circle, it is always a treat.
My first show was Maryland Championship Wrestling's  2006 Shamrock Memorial Cup. On this night I had the pleasure of watching a man who would become one of my favorite wrestlers on the indy scene, Ruckus, become the winner. On this night I had the pleasure of meeting TNA's (now known as Impact Wrestling) own  Chris Saban and Petey Williams.

Since then, I have been trying to attend as many shows as I can.
On Saturday June 4, 2011, I had the pleasure of attending Real Championship Wrestling  T3, the Anniversary Show in Baltimore, MD. This was a night full of action and breath taking moments. I will highlight some of the nights biggest matches:

Mia Yim defeated Kimber Lee.

This match was booked as Mia Yim taking on a mystery opponent. At the previous show Supremacy, Yim wrestled Sara Del Rey in a classic match in which she just fell short. I knew coming into this match she would be looking to redeem herself. It should also be noted that she had just came from a tour in Japan for REINA.She said she learned a lot in Japan and could not wait to go back. In this match she really took control of Lee. During the match, Yim use a great deal of submission moves and was able to finish Lee with the "Kick Me Goodnight" to obtain the victory. This being the second match on the card really helped set the pace for the show.

The beginning of the match was delayed because Robby Mireno wanted to fight everyone fan in the audience. He really drew a lot of heat from the crowd. Once the match got started, we saw a great display of wrestling from the veterans of the business. In the end, it was Saban holding down the foot of Adam Flash from the outside while Mireno was able to score the victory. After the match, Flash and McBride attacked both Mireno and Saban.

Christian York defeats Azrieal to retain the RCW World Championship via DQ

Another great display of in ring ability by two veterans. There were many points in which I thought that there would be a new champion crowned, but the "York Daddy" would not allow it. Sitting from the left side of the ring, I noticed this masked individual standing beside the wall out of no where and before I knew it, he was in the ring attacking the Champion, and the ref immediately called for the bell.

Derek Frazier defeats Ruckus in a Last Man Standing Match
This was an epic grudge match. This was the first time the two faced each other in a one-on-one match since 2006. The stipulations going into this match was if Ruckus wins, Frazier retires, if Frazier wins, BLK OUT must disband. Ruckus entered the ring with BLK OUT and two masked individuals. Followed by that, Adam Flash, Ryan McBride along with three people dressed in Derek Frazier attire. As the teams began fighting, one of the individuals who came out with BLK OUT took off his mask and turned out to be the real Derek Frazier. These two took it to each other all around the ring side. As Frazier was gaining momentum, Chrissy from BLK OUT arrived to the ring and began to attack him. Immediately, Mia Yim would arrive to the ring to make it a level playing field. Ruckus and Chrissy agreed they had had enough and began to make their way back to the locker room. As the walked back, they were greeted by the entire RCW locker room and this match would become a lumberjack match. In the end it was Derek Frazier hitting Ruckus with multiple impact drivers and Ruckus would not be able to get up before the referee reach the count of 10. Frazier had finally got his revenge on Ruckus and BLK OUT and the entire locker room was in the ring celebrating.
