Trash can whack crowns new champion at Friday night match

There was a big but small event at Dickey-Stephens Friday night.

 

No, it wasn't kids staring at fish in a tank.

 

It was the Midget New World Order Heavyweight Championship featuring the challenger, 4' 4" Puppet the Psycho Dwarf.........

  

.......and the champion, 4' 5" Little Kato, seen below being checked out by the referee with his "managers" Hank Conger and Hainley Statia standing-by in his corner.

 

It was a best two-out-of-three falls format for the belt and Puppet was the immediate aggressor from the bell, as seen below about to deliver a massive groin shot, while the Psycho Dwarf's manager El' Whoppo watched the beating his little man was dishing out.

 

 

After the groin shot and a body slam that was it for Little Kato as Puppet the Psycho Dwarf took the fall in the first set.

 

As if this thing was scripted...........Kato came back strong in the second bout using a vice-like leg lock to get things going.

 

Only Puppet squirmed away for the ring rope save to the displeasure of Kato's player-managers.

 

But then with a classic body-slam, Kato quickly evened the match one a-piece.

 

So the "Belt" came down to the deciding and third set.....and that's when blood was drawn. (I put the next shot below in a shadow-spot to highlight the gore.) If you are faint-hearted you might not be able to look at Little Kato's forehead (right).

 

And then....not like it was planned...out of nowhere, a trash can appeared and Puppet the Psycho Dwarf proved his name was correct when he dented it in up-side Kato's head.

 

 

And that was it. Set, match to the new Midget New World Heavyweight Champion (or something like that), Puppet the Psycho Dwarf. Puppet and El' Whoppo were last seen exiting the field trying to figure out how that long title can possibly be engraved on such a little belt.

 

Oh yeah, and there was a baseball game too. More than eight thousand fans saw the Travelers lose 4-3 to the Tulsa Drillers. Arkansas dropped the last three games of the four game series to Tulsa and fell to last place in the North Division of the Texas League with its longest losing streak of the season.

Missed the wrestling, was there for the game. There was some mighty fine baseball played, and some mighty poor coaching displayed. Perhaps we'll figure out someday that the talent is in the batter's and not the 3rd base coaches's box.

At least the coaching staff hasn't been blaming the players as they have in past years.

And back on last year's subject - the folks running the staduim really need to turn off the heaters in the bathrooms. By first person observation in the men's rooms, and first person reports from the women's rooms, the old "piss sauna" is in full swing as has been the problem since the park opened up.

C'mon - turn off the heaters and put a piece of tape over the switches until November....

AMEN, AMEN!

I lost count on men caught stealing tonight at 3. We had the game won, but apparantly some folks (i.e.: Mags) can't stand success. Samll ball is one thing, stupid ball is what might be going on at D-S. This coach looks promotable to me.

And - while I'm whining... what's with the funnel cake stand on the concourse? A state-of-the-art ballpark and anyone sitting within 50' of that nasty thing comes home stankin' and greasy and ready to puke from inhaling grease.

Here's the deal.

After this home stand, if that grease machine isn't GONE from the park I'll have health inspectors on site every night. And I'll have them loaded for bear.

Let's get some common sense back in the baseball game - its not like we're juicin' 'round here.

i bet they turn the heaters on now just to piss you guys off.

i cant believe some people think the travs would pay for the heat to be on in the summer.

Heaters aren't on.

Just appreciate the fact that they actually put fans in after the first season.

How is Lil Kato always undefeated and the reigning champion when he comes in, even though he's lost this championship every year?
