Empire Wrestling Federation

It's all out warfare in this every-man-for-himself-over-the-top-rope EWF Battley Royal. This particular Battle Royal features such stars as Louie Spicoli, Christopher Daniels, Mikey Henderson, UltraTaro and the rest of the EWF Superstars. Who will be the last man left standing in the middle of the ring?

The crowd roared for the entrance of 3rd Dimension and Ultra Taro. They eagerly anticipated the match against John Black and Johnny "Heartthrob" Love, also known as the Ghetto Boyz. Crowd reaction wasn’t the same for the boyz and they must have felt disappointed because they took out their anger and frustration on 3rd Dimension and Ultra Taro by attacking them before the match officially began.

After years of traveling all over the world, including wrestling in Japan and Mexico, Louie Spicoli, in the midst of his ECW tenure, returned to the company he had called home many years prior. \r\n\r\nSpicoli had been trained by Bill Anderson way back in 1988 and by this match had already worked for the then WWF for a few years as the grunge rocker, Rad Radford. Upon his return to his old stomping grounds, he faced a challenger in Ragin' Raven.

This match stems from the last show when the "Suicide Kid" Mikey Henderson was supposed to wrestle Eddie Williams but was unable to due to injury. Not to ruin the result of that particular match, (Bobby Bradley vs. Eddie Williams but that set-up this tag-team encounter.

Originally scheduled to be Bobby Bradley vs. the "Suicide Kid" Mike Henderson, the ring announcer told the crowd that Henderson had been injured and that Eddie "Cruiser" Williams would be taking his place in the match.

This match went back and forth several times. Often it looked like Williams might steal the win with his arsenal of hurracanranas and reversal maneuvers. Bradley had a few tricks up his singlet as well including a vicious pile driver that he delivered to Williams on the hard gym wood floor.

The massive New Zealander Tama Toa takes on the mysterious Black Ninja in this 1996 EWF match. Toa's colossal size and strength advantage is obvious to everybody except the Black Ninja. As the match begins, Black Ninja charges Toa with a series of shoulder blocks only to be met by the brick wall stature of Tama Toa. \r\n\r\nToa quickly turns the tables in his direction as he connects with a devastating clothes line to the mat followed by another clothes line that sends Black Ninja over the top rope and onto the floor. The beating continues in a similar manner for the next several minutes.

Before the bell rang Vic Victory and his tag-team partner Dick Danger were all over their opponents. Before the referee could officially start the match both Victory and Danger sneak attack 3rd Dimension and Ultra Taro from behind and proceed to stomp a mud hole in them. Tables turned when both Dimension and Taro were Irish whipped into the ropes for the second time. This time they both ducked the attempted clothes lines from Victory and Danger and were able to deliver a pair of dropkicks, sending their opponents out of the ring and crashing down hard on the floor outside.

Johnny Love and John Black came out first and cut a promo running down the fans of San Bernardino and their opponents for the night, the Haystack Brothers.

The match started out fast and furious. As soon as the Haystacks hit the ring, both Love and Black began to unload the boots and proceeded to let the beat-down begin. The Haystacks quickly turned things around and both Love and Black quickly found themselves on the floor pondering another plan of attack.

The big 6'4

This was the main event match for Empire Wrestling Federation's inaugural show. It's the "Bad Boy" himself, Bobby Bradley taking on Zuma, or as many know him today, Tom Howard. Zuma comes flying out to the ring with his surfboard in and effort to take out Bradley as quickly as possible. He managed to hop out of the ring before the surfboard connected, but Zuma was able to get him back on the ring apron and monkey flip him back into the ring where he could begin beatinghis opponent.

No matter who wins this match I don't expect this to be the end of this feud.
