Monstrosity Championship Wrestling arises at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Monster Bash

On an unseasonably warm and starry night last October, a strange thing happened in the parking lot of Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse. A wrestling ring was assembled and members of the Platinum Championship Wrestling roster showed up to do battle with … MONSTERS! It was a sight like none other until the following weekend, when monsters and wrestlers grappled yet again in an effort to prove their dominance over one another.

This freak occurrence went somewhat unnoticed, perhaps because such things are a bit more expected in the weeks leading up to Halloween at a venue where vigilante soldiers are forced to protect pedestrians from the creations of the Centers for Disease Development on a nightly basis. And though the zombies, demons and other assorted creatures of the night seemed to go dormant in the months following Halloween, they once again arose in March as the Silver Scream SpookShow’s Professor Morte resurrected Monstrosity Championship Wrestling to take on PCW’s finest in battles of living vs. dead (and undead) for the Wrestling with Pop Culture Anniversary Party at the Masquerade.

There, we saw the likes of a flamboyantly gay vampire known as Dragula as he got the better of his bigoted beast of a rival known as the Alabama Wolfman. In an event that also included a demon possession, a zombie infection spreading amongst the PCW competitors and other phenomena never before seen inside (or outside of) the squared circle, PCW’s “Do or Die” Chip Day took on “The Zombie King” Papa Marko and his mindless minions.

Though things have since returned to normal (well, as normal as can be expected from PCW), the monsters arise again for their Starlight Six Drive-In Theatre debut as part of the 2012 Rock ‘n’ Roll Monster Bash! As the previous three events have proven, you never know what to expect when MCW is involved. And with all the other monstrous music, movies and other mayhem already involved with the Monster Bash’s tenth anniversary, Morte’s monsters may decide to make the Starlight their permanent new haunt! And who will survive as the living do battle with the dead once more?!

Simon Sermon works over Axil Anderson

Following its show at Forest Park High School on April 16, Mid Georgia Championship Wrestling held its second TV taping at People TV in Atlanta on April 17. This time around, MGCW recorded two one-hour episodes, the first of which will air this Saturday.

Having worked out the kinks a little bit since the first TV taping held on March 27, things ran a little more smoothly this time around, with the in-ring action showing an overall improvement as well. With Dave Wills and Mark Danger of Georgiawrestlinghistory.com‘s the Dave and Danger Show back on commentary, the first hour featured four matches including the first in the MGCW Television Title tournament.

Continuing their feud from the last TV taping, MGCW Heavyweight Champion Andy Anderson and his brother Axil took on the Exotic Ones, Simon Sermon and Rick Michaels, in the main event, with an interesting new involvement by “Vicious” Vic Roze that resulted in a post-match standoff between Andy and Roze outside the ring.

The second hour, which will air on May 7, featured five matches including a great bout between Tyson Dean (with “Screamin'” Marty Freeman) and Boris Nicotine (with the heel hilarity of “Comrade” Phil Hefner and his stable of masked Russians). The three-way feud between the Andersons, the Exotic Ones and Roze also continued, leading into an exciting announcement at the end of the second taping about a live event on June 11.

The shows will air on April 30 and May 7 at 8 p.m. on SBN TV, channels 17 and 22 for Charter cable subscribers south of Atlanta. MGCW’s next live event will be at 7:30 p.m. May 21 at Stockbridge High School, 1151 Old Conyers Road, Stockbridge, Ga.
