Texas All-Star Wrestling presents the "18th Annual Humble Rumble"
March 5, 2011
Coaches Sports Bar - Humble, TX
The "Humble Rumble" is an annual event held by Texas All-Star Wrestling in -- where else? Humble, Texas. This year (2011) the card is being held at Coaches Sports Bar outside on the patio. I mention this because it was cold. Cold and windy. Just down the road one of those bank time and temperature signs reads 49°. Now the patio area at Coaches has a (lit) fire pit and those portable patio heaters but unfortunately for me as I was running late, by the time I got there all of the 75+ fans at the show had already surrounded the heat sources. From where I was sitting I could see the action just fine, but it was cold. Well, at least the show started almost right on time.
Ring announcer "Diamond Dawg" starts us off by welcoming everyone to the show and then informs us that there's nine matches on the card. In my head I'm already doing the math; nine matches plus two intermissions (TASW uses two intermissions during a show) equals me freezing my ass off. And hey, there's more good news... we're going to start the show with a promo. The TASW champion Dylan "Super" Starr is out and issues an open challenge for any former TASW champion to face him (Starr) for his title.
We have a challenger and it is... Bones? Here's a guy who's been gone so long (2 years) that I don't even remember him. Anyway, Bones doesn't want to wrestle Starr, he wants to be the referee for the match. He has someone else in mind to face Starr. Some bad country music blares out over the PA and out comes the real challenger Bubba Lee Travis. For some reason Starr is okay with all of this and so later this evening the champion Dylan Starr will square off against challenger Bubba Lee Travis for Starr's TASW Heavyweight Championship.
