(Video from 7/31-High Octane Wrestling’s Chaos 5)
Darin Zion talks to HOTv about the title he never ‘lost’
Zion’s Comments:
-MVW Management stole the title from him on a technicality. He states he never lost MY MVW Men’s Heavyweight Championship belt either by pinfall or submission
-MVW management thinks it’s okay to let the protégé of John Sektor- the man Zion says he retired- run around parading as their fake champion. Zion doesn’t think so.
Backstage Interviewer Blaire Moise then talks with Adam Ellis.
Ellis’s Comments:
-Darin was a jerk to all of them- a complete ass- both times he was in MVW.
-He adds that Zion is also delusional if he thinks he’s going to win the title.
Zion attacks Ellis and cuts him down with a Banhammer. He lays in the boots. Then he slaps on the Love Handle Lock and puts max pressure on his shoulders and back.
A red blur appears and kicks Zion in the face- it’s Ginny Van Lear.
Zion struggles to get up to his feet. Ginny whips around and misses on a spin kick. Zion beats a hasty exit from there.

He’s joined by Vickie Hall- the Amazing Love Partner of Jonathan-Christopher Hall- Zion’s tag team partner (2Become1) in PRIME.
Zion and Hall make the way down to the ring.
Then…
“Mama Didn’t Raise No…” by Garrett Biggs comes on. That brings out the MVW Champion Adam Ellis and his brand new wife- Ginny Van Lear.

Ginny gives Adam a long kiss before she exits the ring. Not wanting to be outdone, Darin looks over at Vickie- she shakes her head no.
Keels calls for the bell and we are underway in Tombstone, Arizona.
The bell rings and few hundred fans on hand are on their feet. Ellis and Zion meet in the middle and they start talking. Now face to face. Zion pushes him. Right hand… no Ellis ducks under and whips Zion in a corner. Ellis follows and fires off on him. Zion pushes back. Ellis runs in- *SMACK* Zion hits him with the BOOT. Ellis spins around.

Zion slips in the back door and RAMS Ellis into turnbuckle. Ellis clutches his ribs. Zion CHOPS him off his feet! Zion drags Ellis up and rams him into the turnbuckle again.

WINNER AND STILL MVW MEN’S CHAMPION: Adam Ellis
Hall’s Comments:
-How did Adam Ellis pull that out? Darin Zion used his experience and dominated most of this match.
-As Zion floated over, Ellis somehow rolled and got Zion on his back… shoulders down.
-Zion’s going to rue not being able to put Ellis away. Multiple chances to pull this one out.
-Adam Ellis still has a lot to learn. His inexperience nearly cost him the match but somehow he got the pinfall for the win.
Before Keels hands Ellis the title belt- ZION ATTACKS HIM! Zion slaps on the Love Handle Lock.
Vickie Hall’s AMAZING LIFE PARTNER Jonathan-Christopher Hall shows up. They tackle Ginny Van Lear and stomp away on her outside the ring while declaring their undying love to each other.
Zion cinches back on the submission hold and Ellis is just about out.
“Dirty Deed Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC plays.
*PIX: John Sektor
IT’S JOHN SEKTOR!
Cue crowd pop. Sektor bores a hole through Zion with his glare.
The Halls run to the back.
Sektor to the ring. Darin rolls off Ellis and gets out of the ring before the Gold Standard of HOW can get his hands on him.
Sektor then tends to Ellis.
BACK LIVE IN DES MOINES
Thunderbolt wraps up the Ellis-Zion match and then makes the announcement…
Thunderbolt Smith: Adam Ellis has signed with PRIME Wrestling. Ginny Van Lear will be going with him. Ray McAvay will come out later on in the show to review what will happen next.
Then Thunderbolt turns his focus towards tonight’s matches. ‘Long Haul’ Rick Hall previews all three.
MEN’S TAG TEAM #1 CONTENDER’S MATCH: #1 The Kentucky Redneck Mafia (Cletus T. Johnson/Enos T. Johnson) vs. #2 The Kardoucheian Empire (Koley Kardoucheian/Kourtney Kardoucheian)
Hall’s Preview:
-These two teams simply do not like each other.
-The Kentucky Redneck Mafia took a big hit today when Ginny Van Lear departed to go to PRIME with her husband Adam Ellis. They’ve struggled without her in their corner. How will they cope tonight?
-The Kardoucheians believe it is their birthright to rise to the top of the Men’s Tag Team mountain. Tonight, they can take a step closer to doing exactly that.
WOMEN’S TAG TEAM TITLE: The Hanson Sisters (Andrea Hanson/Melissa Hanson) © vs. #1 Jill Berg Enterprises (‘Canadian Cyborg’ Sheline Carrigan/Prisoner # 034291)
Hall’s Preview:
-Jill Berg Enterprises has pointed towards this match for a few weeks. CEO Jill Berg feels confident that Carrigan and Prisoner #034291 can get the job done.
-The Hanson Sisters will have their hands full with both Carrigan and Prisoner #034291. Carrigan blends skill and power while Prisoner #034291 is a beast inside the ring and very good at brawling.
WOMEN’S TITLE: Victoria McGill © vs. #1 Lisa Barbosa-Stevens of Jill Berg Enterprises
Hall’s Preview:
-Lisa Barbosa-Stevens goes for her fifth MVW Women’s Title
-Tori McGill looks to consolidate her hold on the title and prevent Jill Berg Enterprises from winning the belt from her.
-This is a battle between a young wrestler who’s just realizing her potential and a woman who’s looking to return back to the top for the fifth time and make history.
Thunderbolt says it’s time for our next match.

“Morning” by Francis and the Lights brings out Khris Kardoucheian, followed by Koley, Kourtney, and Ken Kardoucheian.
The video screen flashes through several scenes from the Kardoucheian’s reality show ‘Krampin’ Up with the Kardoucheians.’
The Kardoucheians ham it up on the stage and pose for the fans- to a middling reaction. Some boos. Some cheers. The rest… indifference.
Khris leads them down the ramp to the ring.
Then…
Robert Counts’s version of “What Do I Know?” featuring Hardy comes on and at first… no one comes out.
Then Cletus T. Johnson and Enos T. Johnson appear. Then…
‘The Girl in Every Country Song’ Lillie Mae- former valet of the Georgia-Florida State Boundary- comes out and joins Cletus and Enos.
After a pause, Lillie Mae leads Cletus and Enos down towards ringside.
Heather Cooper is in the ring and ready for the introductions.

Then…
RAY McAVAY SPEAKS
Accompanied by his wife, West Texas Adult Entertainment Legend ‘Dark’ aka Stacee Perry, Ray congratulates CEO Jill Berg and Jill Berg Enterprises on winning the tag belts. Then…
Ray McAvay: “You got away with one tonight. There’s not going to be a second one. Jill Berg Enterprises are BANNED from tonight’s Women’s Title match and required to stay in their dressing rooms. If I see anyone come to ringside, Lisa Barbosa-Stevens will be immediately disqualified.”
Jill Berg is furious. Lisa Barbosa-Stevens is furious.
McAvay says Tori McGill will get a fair match against Lisa Barbosa-Stevens tonight without having to worry about JBE doing the same thing to her that they did to the Hanson Sisters tonight.
With that, MVW security comes out and escorts JBE to the back.
Once that bit of housekeeping is done, McAvay addresses the elephant in the room. He announces that the reports of Adam Ellis officially signing with PRIME is true and the MVW Men’s Title has been vacated.
McAvay’s Comments:
-He’s proud of Adam. He’s worked his way up and earned this opportunity on a big stage.
-The deal he signed with PRIME will be good for him and his new wife Ginny Van Lear- who as noted earlier in the night, is joining Adam in PRIME.
-Adam really wanted to come to Des Moines tonight to properly say goodbye to the MVW fans who’ve been behind him every step of the way.
-Ellis is not here because McAvay told him to go take his new bride on the honeymoon that they had to postpone because Adam had to prepare for his title defense again Darin Zion on High Octane Wresting’s Dead or Alive pay per view show.
-Missouri Valley Wrestling wishes Adam the best of luck. This is a big move on his part and a move he’s been wanting to make for a few months. In the end, PRIME offered him a deal and Adam felt he couldn’t pass it up.
So with that in mind, McAvay breaks the next bit of news.
August 30th– The Athletics-Recreation Center in Valparaiso, Indiana.
MEN’S TITLE MATCH:
#1 ‘Redneck’ Bill Dickinson vs. #2 John O’Reilly
And with that, McAvay exits the stage with his wife.
Thunderbolt states he’s happy for Adam Ellis. He knew something might be up when he saw McAvay and PRIME President/CEO Lindsay Troy in deep discussion during the DOA show.
Hall’s Comments:
-It’s a loss for MVW but a big gain for PRIME… exciting times for Adam Ellis and Ginny Van Lear.
-It’s also a big opportunity for Bill Dickinson and John O’Reilly to get back to the top. Both are former Men’s Champions. Both desperately want to become two-time champions.
-Dickinson’s rolling with the Alabama Gang now. O’Reilly remains with the Dark Overlords. Should be interesting to see how both groups interact in the next two weeks.
RECAP OF THE SHOW
Thunderbolt and Hall do a quick recap of tonight’s show so far:
-MVW Men’s Champion Adam Ellis retains the title after defeating ‘REAL LOVE’ Darin Zion Sunday night at HOW’s Dead or Alive PPV
-The Kentucky Redneck Mafia have a new valet- Lillie Mae- and then defeat the Kardoucheian Empire to win a Men’s Tag Team Division #1 Contender’s Match- they will face The Stevens Dynasty in two weeks for the title.
-Jill Berg Enterprises (‘Canadian Cyborg’ Sheline Carrigan and Prisoner #034291) destroy the Hanson Sisters to win the MVW Women’s Tag Team Title after JBE attack the Hansons before the match.
-MVW Owner Ray McAvay comes out and bans Jill Berg Enterprises from ringside for the upcoming Women’s Title between JBE’s Lisa Barbosa-Stevens and Women’s Champion Tori McGill
