\ Biggie Biggs defeated Playboy Vik Voorhees by pinfall. AWESOME held another successful event at Seaside Heights American Legion Post 351 on April 5, 2008 and in the end two new champions were crowned ! Here is a rundown of all the action Radical Robby Morrison debuted his new talk show The Morrison Hotel. He had his scheduled opponnent Mark Modest as a guest and tried to get Mark to back out of his scheduled MySpace title match; when Mark refused Morrison talked Modest into facing Commune member Mike Mattix in an improptu match. Mark Modest defeated Mike Matixx by pinfall following a swanton bomb. After the match Morrison laid Mark out with a chair shot from behind and then hit Modest with his finisher Tye-Dyed Dreams onto the steel chair knocking the young star unconscious. Doctor K defeated Jumping Joey Janella by submission via a tazz-mission Liz Savage, Commissioner Joe Rules and Section 8 attempted to honor Robert Payes in celebration of his recent birthday for his work as a photographer on AWESOME events; however Ms. Savage's ego caused a melee to break out and she ended up covered in cake. The Great Cerenzio (w/ Cammo) & Kevin the Bartender defeated Dan Rageous & Chris Banks when Cerenzio pinned Banks. After the match Banks turned on his tag team partner who was then aided by Cerenzio and Dan left with the support the fans Section 8 defeated Jay Highlander A brief intermission was held and fans got to meet and take photos with WWE Original Diva Sunny Tammy Sytch Justin Corino defeated Playboy Vik Voorhees Biggie Biggs, Aaron Stride & Nick Sabre defeated Steve Camacho & Latin Revolution. Camacho attempted to avoid Biggs throughout the match but eventually the two stars collided in the ring and soon battled back to the dressing room. The remaing four men continued to battle in the ring and Aaron Stride picked up the pinfall for his team. Afterwards Commisioner Joe Rules announced that Biggs and Camacho will finally face each other in singles action on June 22 Commissioner Joe Rules explained that because doctors were still checking on Modest the MySpace title was being moved to the end of the show to give Mark time to recover. He then announced the creation of the Jersey Shore Women's Championship and appointed Sunny as the special guest referee. Taylor Nicole (who spent most of the match insulting Sunny) defeated Chrissy Johnson by submission when Mike Matixx provided Nicole with extra leverage during a boston crab to become the Jersey Shore Women's Champion. Johnson's female manager attempted to inform Sunny of the shenighans and Nicole laid Johnson's associate out with a loaded purse, grabbed the title and left before Sunny could decide whether to restart the match. Franciz (w/ Liz Savage) successfully defended the Championship of AWESOME against Jay Blaze. After the match Franciz attempted to continue his assault on Blaze when Chris Steeler emerged from the crowd to make the save and challenge Franciz to future title match. Commissioner Joe Rules came out to explain that doctors had informed him that Mark Modest had a grade 2 concussion and would be unable to wrestle. He was about to end the show when Radical Robby Morrison and the Commune came out. Morrison said he would not allow Rules to postpone the match for another show and insisted that Joe award him the match by forfeit thus moving Modest back to the bottom of the contender's list. As Joe began the 10 count for an official forfeit Modest emerged from the locker room staggering but ready to compete. Commissioner Rules was still unwilling to allow the match until Sunny emerged and said she would personally manage Modest and take responsability for his well-being. Commissioner Rules then sanctoned the match with the condition that he himself would serve as referee in case the match needed to be stopped for medical reasons. Mark Modest defeated Radical Robby Morrison by pinfall to become the new Totally AWESOME Champion of MySpace. During the match Modest started strong but when he missed a dropkick and landed on his head Morrison took control. Modest valiantly kicked out of several pinfall attempts but after a tornado ddt he collapsed into the ropes. Commisioner Rules was on the verge of stopping the match when Sunny stepped in and gave Modest a pep talk. Modest then hit the diamond cutter on Morrison but the count was interrupted by Taylor Nicole. Sunny then pulled Nicole off the apron and sent her careening into a wall knocking her out. While Commissioner Rules was preoccupied with the action outside the ring, Matixx entered the ring with a steel chair; however Modest managed to turn the tables on both Commune members and then pinned Morrison for the title. Stay tuned for details on AWESOME's next event on June 22 Results from AWESOME One Year Anniversary Show History was made on Jan. 26 when in front of a packed house of 260 fans AWESOME celebrated our One Year Anniversary by crowning the first ever Champion of AWESOME in Seaside Heights The show opened with Commissioner Joe Rules giving his State of the Union Address. Commissioner Rules thanked the great fans for supporting our first year of shows culminating with Saturday's sell out. Before Joe could get much further in his speech he was interupted by the Commune's Radical Robby Morrison and Mike Matixx. Morrison threatened a sit-in that would stop the show unless Commissioner Rules would give him his own in-ring talk show at the next event and in the interest of moving things along Commissioner Rules agreed. Morrison then said to save time he would have Matixx accept the rookie of the year trophy (as voted by the fans at www.myspace.com/totallyawesomewrestling) but the Commissioner opened the envelope to reveal that Mark Modest of nearby Toms River was the overwhelming choice for rookie of the year with 56% of the vote. This led to a scuffle between Matixx and Modest and a match was signed between the two for later in the evening. With the ring cleared Commissioner Rules again began his speech only to be interupted by Biggie Biggs, who explained his partner Aaron Stride had been jumped the night before while leaving the gym by three men in ski masks of similar build to Latin Revolution and Steve Camacho. So Biggs instead requested a singles match with Camacho. Commissioner Rules agreed to the match at first until Camacho produced a signed contract that would force Biggs to face Latin Revolution in tagteam action whether he had a partner or not. Clearing the ring again Commissioner Rules asked one of our great event sponsors to present the newly created Championship of AWESOME title to the fans for the first time; but yet again he was interupted this time by Franciz and Liz Savage. Ms. Savage noted Franciz was undefeated this past year and felt he should be awarded the title without having to go through the tournament. Adding her charge has a guaranteed contract to appear on every show (and thus cannot ever be suspended or fired) she had Franciz lift Annie the sponsor up for a Samoan Drop until thankfully a calvacade of crowd favorites led by Section 8 hit the ring to make the save. And while the Samoan Destroyer was ready to take on all four men, Liz advised him to save his energy for the tournament. Round 1 Tournament Match - Jay Blaze defeated Doctor K by pinfall Round 1 Tournament Match - ECW legend Spike Dudley defeated Lord Jasin Karloff by pinfall with the Acid Drop Round 1 Tournament Match - Justin Corino and John Cannon battled to a double countout eliminating both men from the tournament.

Section 8 captained his team of Great Cerenzio (with Cammo), Kevin the Bartender and Steve Zapf to victory over Playboy Vik Voorhees team of Dan Rageous, Cam Shaft and Brian Harley to win the Jersey Shore Cup Mark Modest defeated Mike Matixx by pinfall with a superkick Tournament Match Round 2 - Spike Dudley defeated Jay Blaze by pinfall in a clean scientific match-up between two crowd favorites. After the match the victorious ECW legend (and former WWE tagteam, cruiserweight and european champion) offered Jay a handshake of respect for the hard fought match. Steve Camacho hit the ring for a martial exhibition but all of his opponents refused to face him out of fear. With no opponnent Camacho issued an open challenge to anyone in the lockerroom except Biggie Biggs. The challenge was accepted by rookie Jumping Joey Janella, who gave a good effort but was ultimately forced to tap out by Camacho's mixed martial arts expertise. Latin Revoltion then demanded Biggs honor his contract for their tag match. Biggs explained his allies on the roster had already given 110 percent competing in the tournament, but having never backed down from a fight he would compete in a handicap match against them. Mark Modest than emerged from the lockerroom and the young star said he would be honored to team with Biggie if the veteran so desired. Biggie Biggs & Mark Modest defeated Latin Revolution by disqualification when Biggs was about to score the pin only to be attacked by Steve Camacho. Latin Revolution incapacitated Modest and was about to begin a 3 on 1 assault on Biggs when Chris Steeler and Jay Blaze emerged to make the save. MAIN EVENT Tournament Final - Franciz defeated Spike Dudley in match contested under Extreme Rules to become the first ever Champion of AWESOME. Action in this insanely heated contest saw the use of chairs, crutches, serving trays and even a bicycle as weapons. Eventually Franciz again proved to be unstoppable when he kicked out of the Acid Drop and then pinned the ECW icon Spike Dudley with a Samoan Drop on a steel chair to win the title!

Despite a valiant effort by Cha Cha's team, Lee's team of all heavyweights used their size advantage to pick up the win.
5 - Biggie Biggs battled Lord Jasin Karloff in a match that quickly became personal when Karloff blatantly used his cane in front of the referee for a disqualification. Karloff then took a chair and placed it around Biggie throat and went to the top rope in an attempt to end Biggie's career. Fortunately, Biggie moved out of the way and then a huge brawl between the two competitors ensued that took 8 wrestlers and the entire referee staff to break up as well as bringing Commissioner Rules out to ringside.

Steve Camacho then drew #2 and the two men went at it back and forth for five minutes at which point the number 3 entrant Radical Robby Morrison hit the ring. Morrison and S1 formed an alliance and evenutally S1 chop blocked Camacho from behind as he was slamming Morrison and both men piled on top for the elimination. Shortly thereafter at the 10 minute mark Great Cerenzio (w/Cammo) became the fourth and final entrant. Cerenzio faced a two on one situation but hit both opponents with chokeslams getting the pin on S1 for an elimination. However S1 refused to leave the ringside area and distracted the ref long enough for Morrison to recover and steal the pin with a surprise ddt. After the match S1 laid out Cerenzio with a chair.

The 350 pound Samoan Franciz outlasted a field of 24 wrestlers eliminating 14 men by himslef. Rookie Mark Modest of nearby Toms River who drew #2 in the staged entrances lasted until the very end and eliminated four much more experienced foes during the final seven; including Cory Havoc, Section 8, Doctor K and Cameron Shaft. Yet despite the hometown crowd cheering him on Franciz was just too much for the rookie. This left Franciz alone with the powerful amateur wrestling standout Justin Corino; who became the first man to knock the massive Samoan off his feet. Yet a sudden over head belly to belly suplex later and the Franciz had captured the contract and tournament berth!
