“I love six…

I had six old ladies! I had six tacos for breakfast this morning! Six tacos for breakfast! I got six Cadillacs! I got six Doberman Pinchers! I love six!” –Jimmy Valiant

& now Jimmy Valiant has one more six to love, because as of May 1st, 2010, he has now wrestled in six consecutive decades. He shares this personal record with his former enemy turned dear friend the Russian Bear Ivan Koloff. At the recent Springtime Bash in Shawsville, VA the two old school wrestling legends teamed up to teach a lesson to the new school team of Shawn Christian & Mean Donnie Green w/manager Bobby O’Neil. This year’s Bash was a great success as people came from all over to pack the Shawsville Middle School for the six main event caliber matches. I enjoyed every minute of every match & if I wasn’t on the edge of my seat it was because I was standing to cheer for my favorite wrestlers. But the highlight for me was certainly the historic debut of the Valiant/Koloff tag team. Led by their manager Colonel Howard, Boogie danced his way up the aisle as Ivan menacingly stalked to the ring as if he were ready to tear his opponents apart. Sure enough, it wasn’t long into the match before Koloff was attempting to separate Donnie Green’s arm from the rest of his body. The big Russian wrestling machine even took on both of his opponents at once in order to thwart a devious double team attempt. I certainly gained a new respect for Ivan Koloff that night. Valiant took care of business in the ring by combining his quickness, his vast wrestling knowledge, his brawling ability & his trademark mind games to frustrate & dominate his enemies. When Boogie slapped the sleeper on Christian & Ivan clamped Green in the same hold I thought it was going to be Good Night Irene for the new school & this great match. But the two young wrestling stars proved that they are in fact a team to be reckoned with as they fought back & temporarily gained the momentum. Boogie set up the beginning of the end by dodging a devastating Shawn Christian super kick which instead toppled Mean Donnie. What happened next was the stuff of wrestling legend & will certainly be talked about for decades to come. Ivan Koloff leveled Green with his classic Russian Sickle & at the same time Boogie nailed Christian with a move right off of current wrestling television. I’m not sure what Jimmy calls his version of the finisher. It could be the Boogie Man Jam or perhaps the BWCKO. I’ve even heard it referred to as the Boogie Cutter. Whatever it’s called it was highly effective & both Boogie & Ivan covered their opponents for the three count victory which brought the crowd to its feet. On a personal note it was an extra special night for me because I was able to share it with my precious wife & son. My son Douglas has been to camp several times, but this was his first official wrestling show. I’m so glad I was able to share it with him. You can even see a picture of my family along with several awesome pictures & a nice write up about the Shawsville show in the NRV Current section of a recent issue of the Roanoke Times. Here is a link to the online version. I am the one w/the mask. Congrats to Boogie & Ivan on wrestling in six consecutive decades. & congrats to the entire BWC family & the community of Shawsville for putting on an awesome night of top notch wrestling action that will never be forgotten.
