SPW Defuniak Show Invaded by "Snakes, Dominated by "White Trash" and Charmed by Chris Knight - Just another Saturday Night in 'Rasslin

The young fellow to the left is none other than Chris Knight of Shoot Comics' and message board fame, holding down a position of importance during SPW's much anticipated return to Defuniak Springs, Florida at the Walton County Fairgrounds. Chris was seen before the show, in the ring, running the ropes and doing other stuff a student wrestler might do to prepare himself for a trip to the squared circle as a performer, but when it came time for him to enter the ring, his role changed surprisingly.

Chris knight became the in-ring, go-to guy for whipping up crowd enthusiasm, disbursing free T-Shirts and door prizes to a crowd more than 60% happy kids, along with parents and other fans. As a wrestling enthusiast, Kris is surpassed only by the Front Row Fanatics in their love of the game. He was very happy to be a part of the show and is looking forward to other tasks being assigned to him; all this is a part of a long journey yet to come in wrestling. Who knows where the road ahead lies.
Erick Turner, seen here photographing the action in the ring, seems oblivious to the snake in the young fan's hand next to him. Erick takes his photography job as seriously as he does his other job of heckling heel wrestlers.
With no "Kangaroo, or Barby Doll" to give grief to, Erick's attention fell to Caution, Tiger Lee's opponent, who earned the dubious chant of "Bumble Bee" which distracted him completely from his stated goal of obliterating the aforementioned Tiger.

Snakes at a wrestling show, or should I say, Snakes "Invade" a wrestling show, came in the form of reticulated wooden snakes offered on the gimmick table for a dollar. We're not quite sure just which wrestler the snakes represented, but surely, "Brain Damage" comes to mind.

BD held a belt for a little over 10 minutes before getting mudhole stomped to lose it. It's a record. Shortest title hold in SPW history.

White Trash, consisting of Junkyard Joe and John Boy, has been steadily gaining a reputation as being a "must see" tag team in our area. Billed as being "from a trailer park near you," The irreverant tag team has wrestled and pranked their way into the hearts of SPW fans despite being pickup truck driving, coon dog havin, possum hunting, moon pie eating wise cracking, water tower name writing genuine Alabama sons of the south heelmen.

I swear, for bad guys,they are more "over" than many babyfaces.

I'm not supposed to tell you that they spent the whole night eating corn dogs. But hey. Sometimes secrets are revealed, eh?
