9 / 3 / 08 - MID DAY EDITION - Reported by Pat Larose
The London Derby took place on
9 / 2 / 08 at the
Whitechapel Centre in London, England with a sold out crowd of
3,455 fans. When I walked in to the building you can tell that this crowd was looking forward to this event, and we didn't have to wait long for some interesting happenings...
Blasting over the buildings sound system we heard the Rock's music kicking in with "THE ROCK SAYS" "THE ROCK SAYS" "THE ROCK SAYS" and then straight into "BAD STREET, USA!", then the Rock and the Fabulous Freebirds walk out with gold on hand... the crowd really laid into the three men who entered the ring, the Rock grabbed a mic and he ripped the crowd apart and the city of London, then he talked about Brock Lesnar and how small his balls are... the Rock also went on to challenge anyone in the PNW that wants a shot at the DWA World Heavyweight Championship. Michael P.S. Hayes then grabs the mic, he struts around the ring before talking and he tells the crowd to shut up when they started to chant "GIT!" over and over, Hayes went onto talk about the DWA World Tag Team Belts and how that ESW doesn't have any real tag teams or even a tag team championship, then Hayes said that he and Roberts will be victories on this night in this crappy dump... the crowd laid into the three men before leaving the ring.
After the Rock and the Freebirds left the ring, our first match was up next and it kicks off the crowning of the first ever UK Heritage Heavyweight Champion...

"Irish" Mickey Doyle vs. Rene Goulet - UK Heritage Title ChaseDoyle looked out matched in this match, Goulet looked strong and he delivered a
LOW BLOW that set-up the pinfall and your winne is
Rene Goulet.
There was a small break in the action and we saw the Fabulous Freebirds in the locker room where Dan Parker walks up to them and asked them where are the LWA National Tag Team straps, Roberts stands up and walks right into Parkers face and tells him that they're in a safe place and not in that crappy so called promotion called the PCW in the Loser Wrestling Alliance... Hayes stands up and tells Parker that they will have a challenge for a certain tag team in the DWA and they'll announce that soon enough and thats when Hayes and Roberts pushes Parker out of the locker room...

After Smith left the ring, the Boogeyman is getting to his feet when the lights went out and then they flickered and then the Boogeyman was laid out with blood all over him and a cage with a white and black dove hanged above him and a voice was herad over the sound system, the voice spoke...
Vengeance is here, the days of those who turned their back on the man once known as Mike George are numbered, the Desciple of Vengeance known as the DOVe is now in Europe and his vengeace will be felt promotion wide, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!The crowd looked puzzled as did I, and with that the next two matches that we watched wer the sem-finals in the UK Heritage Title Chase...

I have to say that this has been one night to remember and at this point we had three more matches left and it has been a great night so far, coming up next we saw the unification of the New Britain Heavyweight Title and the Western UK Title...
Len Rossi vs. Mick McManus - European Heavyweight Unification Title MatchRossi looked focused and he dominated the match and he delivered a

The crowd jumped to their feet when Rossi won the championship, Rossi celebrated with the crowd and thats when the lights went out and then they flickered back on and Rossi was laid out with blood all over him and standing in the ring was Mike George who had white face paint on with blood smeared on his body, he had the white and black dove in his hands and he just laughed and the lights went out and when the cameback on the DOVe was nowhere to be seen...
vs Fabulous Freebirds (*C) - DWA World Tag Team Title MatchThe Freebirds waited to see who would come out and then out of the crowd the Mountie and the Belgian Brawler jumped the Freebirds... the match went back and forth and the Freebirds were the better team but then when Roberts crashed into the turnbuckle, the Belgian Brawler
ROLLED UP Roberts and the new DWA World Tag Team Champions are
The Mountie and The Belgian Brawler.
After the match the Mountie and the Belgian Brawler grabbed the mic and they told the crowd to shut up and that they are known as the Elitists and they will dominate both the ESW and the DWA, and that there are no tag teams in the DWA that could beat them and they challenge anyone in the PNW to a title match here or in the States and both men the left the ring...
There was a break in the action and not looking we see the Freebirds enter the ring and Michael Hayes grabs a mic and he makes a challenge to the RoughHouse Outlaws of the Pacific Northwest Wrestling promotion that they couldn't beat them for the LWA National Tag Team Belts and that they will come to Portland to defend them, both men walk out of the ring to a round of jeers...
The crowd knew what match was next, Brock Lesnar versus The Rock for the DWA World Heavyweight Title Rematch from Deuce or Dare and while we awaited Frank LaHart walked out and he grabbed the mic and thanked the fans for coming and that he has decided that this title match will have a special guest referee that will not take any guff from the two wrestlers in the main event and thats when Jeff Jarrett walked out with a referee shirt on and his guitar in hand and he had a huge smile on his face, the crowd laid into Jarrett...
Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock (*C) - DWA World Heavyweight Title Match / Jeff Jarrett Guest RefereeThe Rock and Brock Lesnar didn't like that Jarrett as the referee and they both watched him throughout the match and Jarrett called the match down the middle, this was a match where the Rock looked strong but Lesnar rebounded and he delivered a
F-5 and the new and two time DWA World Heavyweight Champion is
Brock Lesnar.
After the match Jarrett hands the belt to Lesnar and Jarrett shakes Lesnar's hand and Lesnar leaves the ring with the crowd chanting his name, the Rock gets to his feet and he grabs Jarrett and pushes him around before going toward the ropes and thats when Jarrett garbs his guitar and smased the Rock with it laying him out and Jarrett struts around for a moment and walks out of the ring...
The crowd to my suprise started to chant Jarrett, Jarrett looked around and was suprised by the fans reaction and that ended the London Derby with Jarrett walking to the backstage area, this event really delivered in the end and now we will wait and see whats next from Euro Star Wrestling...
