Talk Radio 49

Rickey Rowland and Michael Carnahan started out the last show with a MAJOR announcement as Rowland revealed his 3 competitiors. The owner of the All-Star Wrestling Federation will be represented by Ray Ray, Asa Morta, and Cataclysm The Maniae! In our opening contest the Big Man continued on his roll of wins by taking out the physically imposing Heinzman/Gigglez. Next up we seen X-Ray pull out a huge victory in a triple threat matchup defeating the returning Troy Twain. And Justin Venson who yet again had to deal with issues with his brother costing him another contest. After that the ASWF Champion Josh Cross defeated the ASWF Evolution Champion Steve O in a Champion Vs Champion non title encounter. Next up Luke Justice was without a tag partner last Saturday but he found an adequate replacement. Yet he still came up short against the current ASWF Tag Team Champions Winning The Fight comprised of X Kaliber and Jake Black. Speaking of being without a partner Ray Ray was without a partner before the tag match against Carnahans' cronies. But while Carnahan was gloating in the entry way Ray revealed his plan as he was joined in this match by Cataclysm. However, after some less than ethical tactics DeMike and Tyler Knight picked up a big tag team win, and some much needed momentum. Finally in the Main Event the former tag team champions exploded! As Garion Tyr got the better of former partner Gaston in dramatic fashion. One has to wonder what is next for both of these guys?

On October 20, 2008, Anne Pressly was attacked, beaten and fatally injured during a burglary of her home in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Anne’s mother, Patricia Cannady, found her daughter during the early morning hours, after Anne missed her early morning wake-up call.  Anne passed away, surrounded by family and friends on October 25, 2008.  A month later, DNA from Anne’s rape and murder was linked to an April, 2008 rape of a teacher in Marianna, Arkansas.  Curtis Vance was developed as a suspect in both cases and DNA testing confirmed that his profile was consistent with the evidence in both cases.  In 2009, Vance was tried and convicted capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of the case against Vance, his trial, direct appeal and state post-conviction claims.  We’ll also talk about the controversial mistrial in the Marianna, Arkansas rape case and Patricia Cannady’s lawsuit on behalf of herself, Anne and her heirs against personnel at St. Vincent’s Medical Center, who accessed Anne’s medical records without a legitimate medical purpose.  We’re a live show and calls are welcome.  Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.

Join us this week as we break down all the breaking news regarding the biggest story to hit the ASWF in 7 years! We will walk you through all the latest updates on the Commisoner Search. Will Michael Carnahan gain ultimate power and become the commisioner of the ASWF? Or will one of the other qualified candiates be able to rise above the issues in the ASWF and finally be able to bring some order? Speaking of Carnahan he shook the ASWF to its very core when during the Big Man K.Toomers' cash in the unthinkable happened. As the 2019 wrestler of the year DeMike turned his back on the very fans who voted for him for the biggest award of the year! Also Luke and Peyton continued their ascension in the ASWF tag team ranks as they were able to defeat the newly crowned champions! Heinzman and Kross were once again set to do battle but that match was never able to reach a proper conclusion and was eneded in a no contest. Also we seen Demike and his new 'associates" pick up the victory over the "Mistress of Mayhem" albeit through nefarious tactics. Also the echampion Josh Cross teamed with Tyler Knight, who also aligned himself with Carnahan earlier in the night,. To spoil the apology of Pure Xcellence Maverick and X Ray and in usual gang fashion they were able to pick up the victory over Pure Xcellence! The #1 contender for the Evolution Championship was also decided at the last show as we now know Kid Krazzy will challenge Steve O.  And we were set in the main event to decide who would be the #1 contender for Cross' ASWF Championship. However, Carnahan and his thugs had other ideas as they interjected themselves in the contest. And forced a no decision and we ended out the show with Carnahan and his trifecta as he calls them in the entry way after they cleared the ringside area. And Cataclysm and the rest of the Maniae were standing tall in the ring finally backing the new force down and back up the entryway!

When we last left you at the end of Hostile Holidays we had just witnessed Lone Justice pull off the upset over the Maniae and Pure Xcellence. What is next for these two young men as we head into 2020? And even though it may be a new year not everything has changed as we witnessed Josh Cross retain the ASWF Championship. Who will be the next challenge to "The Original Misfit"? Speaking of challenges we witnessed two tag teams go through an AMAZING tournament to crown themselves tag team champions. Jake Black and X Kaliber shocked the wrestling world in winning over Garion and Gaston. But there will be no automatic rematch in this situation as after the contest Garion Tyr shocked EVERYONE by viciously attacking Gaston. After weeks and weeks of shocking attacks finally Steve O and Kid Krazzy stepped in the ring in a ladder match. Steve O was able to secure another accolade to his impressive resume as he won the Evolution Championship. But this issue seems far far from being resolved between not only the combatants but their representation.  Speaking of an issue that is FAR from being resolved we decided very little in the contest between Heinzman and Kristian Kross. What has the first event of 2020 have in store for these two individuals.....or whatever you call Heinzman.  Justin Venson finally dispatched of this masked assailant that had been torturing him and his brother for months and months.The joy of victory quickly gave way to heartbreak and confusion as Daniel Venson viciously attacked his brother and left him laying! We have a NEW Mr Golden Ticket "The Big Man" K. Toomer won the opening battle royal to claim the prize. No one in the ASWF can feel safe as Toomer may has the entire roster firmly in his sites!
