Welcome all! Mickey Conroy here for another episode of Call It With Conroy, where I call the action in the ring. I'd like to thank all our listeners and readers, as I continue to follow the journey of Southern Country Wrestling!

We're back in Prattville, this time in a fire hall. The show was a bit delayed as it looks like a purse bingo had rented the fire hall space in the afternoon, and took a long time to clean up. Owner Burt Steel seemed to make the most of it though, as prior to the show he gathered signatures requesting Judge McCarthy resign from his position. Eventually the old ladies left, and it was time for wrestling!

The show kicked off with Connor Andrews coming down, thanking the fans for attending, but he was quickly interrupted by Lionel the Lard, and supposed Japanese wrestling legend, Arakaki the Black Belt. I've seen Arakaki helping set up ring the past few shows, so I think he's just a guy trying to get his break into the business. Anyway, Lionel said he was going to eat Connor up, and Arakaki, with no hint of an accent at all, talked about how in his home land, Connor would be considered a disgrace and should commit harakiri. It should be noted that The Black Belt looked uncomfortable delivering that line, so I legit felt bad for the guy. But suddenly, SCW Champion Clyde Steel comes in to save the day.

It's time for my favorite moment on this podcast, as I play the weekly clip of Clyde Steel trying to cut a promo!

Clyde Steel: Arakaki! You disgusting foreigner! If you don't love America, go back to Japan! The only thing here that matters in America...is Americans! As for you Lionel...I don't think any of us can ever forgive you for what you did to those Irish leprechauns last week! Why not pick on someone your own size? Because you can't! Because you're fat! Three of me is enough for you, and I ain't no leprechaun! Tonight...you and Arakaki can go against me and Connor. It's time for you to feel the steel!

Clyde did not actually forget his lines this week, but the promo still made no sense. I guess it sets up our main event though.

We had more singles action from tag team next, as Wade Henson battled Techno John, and Nasty Harley and Mecha-Mason in the respective corners. This one got a bit creative, as the ref took a bump within the first minute of the match, and both teams started brawling around the ring. In theory it's a fun idea but this lasted atleast 10 minutes too long than it should have. Eventually Wade and John got back in the ring and the ref got up, but Nasty Harley grabbed a firehose and gave it to Wade Henson. Wade Henson threatened to spray Techno John with a hose, who yelled out “I'm a robot, that will kill me! I submit!” And that's how we get our first “Victory By Threat of Water” in pro wrestling, so Wade Henson will go in the history books for that.

Farmer Howard made his way down to the ring next, and called out Tristan Parker. This time, Tristan slept with Farmer Howard's daughter, and Farmer Howard is mad. Tristan came out to the entrance area with a portable grill, and appeared to be grilling a burger as he thanked Farmer Howard for his cow last week. Tristan then says he slept with Farmer Howard's daughter and if he beats him this week, he gets his daughter. There's so much wrong with this scenario but the crowd absolutely detests the actions of Tristan.

So the two had a match. They thankfully changed it up a bit since the prior weeks, but Tristan is still getting the hang of things. It seems Howard is doing a good job of mentoring Tristan though, as they're chemistry seems to flow pretty well. But for storyline purposes? Poor Howard loses the match, and now apparently Tristan Parker owns his daughter? Is marrying his daughter? Does she not have any say in this? Who is this daughter? Will Tristan have her on a grill next week and reveal he's a cannibal? So many questions to be answered in this storyline.

I hope you're enjoying the podcast, because if you like listening to wrestling, then you probably love eating and filling your vehicle up with gas. I'd like to take this time to thank my sponsor, Big J's Truckstop and Diner. Just take exit 86 off highway 65, you can't miss it! Thanks again Big J!

Moving on, Burt Steel came back into the ring and ring side crews brought in an inflatable kiddie pool which had dirt in it, and a hose was brought out to turn into mud. With that being set up, Burt again killed time trashing Judge McCarthy, Burt keeps going on about how the judge wants to shut down SCW and that if he was a real man he'd get in the ring and fight him. Thankfully the pool finished and the crew alerted Burt, so he had a special announcement: Penny Downs, with Lightning Lilly, would take on Delilah, with Ruby, in a mud wrestling match.

Penny came out with Lightning Lilly, who was previously Lilly Collymore. Lilly is in a superhero outfit, so maybe they're doing a Clark Kent/Superman thing where she has two different identities? Or they just figured they can throw a gimmick change on her. Not that she had a gimmick....but I'm getting off topic. Delilah and Ruby walked down next, and had a professional photographer with them. It's definitely a bit creepy that Burt probably could have paid this guy the same rate for the whole night but is only utilizing him to photograph the mud wrestling match, which, might I add, wasn't really a match.

It was basically the two women rolling around in mud for about ten minutes, but the ending of the match was great. Not due to booking, but Delilah grabbed a chunk of mud and flung it at Penny, but completely missed her head...and hit the photographer's camera. And that guy was pissed. He immediately stopped shooting and went over to Burt Steel and started screaming at him, telling him he promised him that all his equipment would be safe, if he doesn't reimburse him he's taking his ass to court, and so on. Burt eventually calmed him down enough to take him backstage and figure something out. While all of that was going on, Delilah pinned Penny, but honestly no one saw the ending, since the photographer probably became one of the most over people in the building that night.

A six man tag happened next, as Demon Lord Lenin May, New York Ned, and Obliterator, a death match wrestler covered in scars, took on Cool Spencer, Father Time, and Adamus Valentinian, dressed up like Russell Crowe in Gladiator. This was a six man tag that lasted about four minutes total, as each wrestler got about a minute of in ring action. I found out later from a source that due to the purse bingo going over time, Burt tried to cut the match and not pay the wrestlers, but the six of them flipped out so this short match was agreed upon. Demon Lord pinned Adamus Valentinian in a disappointing match.

It was finally main event time, as Clyde Steel and Connor Andrews took on Lionel The Lard and Arakaki the Black Belt. The vast majority of this match was Arakaki going against Connor, who actually had some good offense this time around. Those two actually put on a pretty good show for a small time local promotion, until Arakaki tagged in Lionel. Lionel then started to squash Connor with his limited moveset, until Connor got a lucky kick in. There was a hot tag with Clyde Steel and Arakaki getting tagged in at the same time. Unfortunately, as Clyde Steel went for a spinebuster on Arakaki, he slipped on the mud residue still in the ring, and landed with all his weight onto Arakaki's arm.

The Black Belt was clearly injured and in pain, and Clyde was clearly panicking not knowing what to do, looking around for Burt, who I'm guessing was still in the back paying off the photographer. The ref finally yelled “Give him a damn powerslam and end it!” and that's what Clyde did. Probably would have been better to just do the pin without the powerslam but thankfully it ended, as Arakaki quickly ran to the back favoring his arm. Clyde and Connor celebrated, and I use that term loosely, as Clyde looked like he was about to vomit. Then the show just basically ended, no thank you for coming or advertisements for the next show, and people started to file out of the fire hall.

I'll be back to SCW again next time, and hope you all enjoyed! Be sure to check out Big J's, and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on next episode of Call It With Conroy! Good night!
