Chunk E. Fights His Own Flesh and Blood

The wrestling Gods must really have it in for Openweight Champion Chunk E. Fresh.

Last week he lost his tag team championship because of VCW's Money in the Bank equivalent.

This week, his own nephew whacked him in the nuts and pushed him into an impromptu openweight title defense.

The opening segment of this week's Victory Wrestling Showcase was supposed to be all about Chunk and Cousin Eddie making up in the same ring they once held the VCW Tag Team Championship in.

They had a falling out a while back where Cousin Eddie got mad at Chunk for not helping him when a former VCW faction assaulted him in the ring.

I don't know the history of this incident but I can only assume that Chunk would have helped if he could.  Perhaps he didn't know about it?

Since then Cousin Eddie has been gone from VCW.  The opening segment was the first time Eddie's been back.

Before introducing Eddie, Chunk talked about his journey to the top of the VCW mountain.  How he used to raise piggies in Ding Dong, Tennessee and how he found himself because the people of Toronto excepted him for who he was.

He also talked about remembering where he came from and how you should never forget your family.
So he called out Cousin Eddie and the two shook hands in the middle of the ring.

But within thirty seconds Eddie went from saying, "Let's win those tag titles," to nailing Chunk in the Gonads from behind.

Eddie still held a grudge.  He further assaulted his own uncle and suggested Chunk give him an Openweight title shot.  He also said Chunk could keep the people of Toronto and shove 'em.

Later on backstage, Chunk demanded a match with Cousin Eddie.  VCW commissioner Lenny Lilac gave it to him on the spot.

Chunk E. Fresh Vs. Cousin Eddie Duke

And so right then and there we had ourselves a VCW title match.  From Ding Dong, Tennessee, Cousin Eddie Duke took on his Uncle Chunk E. Fresh, fighting out of Funky Town, Ontario.  (Probably a suburb of Toronto.)

This wasn't much of a match to be honest.  Both competitors slugged away at each other and missed with stinger splashes and sentons.  Cousin Eddie let us know early on what a tough bastard he is.  He absorbed a big elbow to the face.  Had no effect.

What made it interesting was the story behind it.  People can get behind Chunk.  He pulled off a sunset flip at one point, albeit the worst sunset flip I've ever seen.  He couldn't gather the momentum necessary to pull Eddie into a seated pinning position and Eddie tried another senton.  Didn't hit that one either.

Eventually Chunk was able to hit a move he calls "Dropping the Needle."  Turntable reference?

The beauty of this move is in it's simplicity.  When you weigh has much as Chunk, why not just follow through a body slam with a cross body if you get the chance?  That's just what he did and that's how this match ended.

Play by play man Hutch Henries made a good point about the adversity Chunk has had to overcome thus far in his title reign as the credits rolled.

Not sure what this means for Chunk's relationship with his nephew but I do know that Chunk is the man to beat in Victory Commonwealth Wrestling.

In other VCW news, there's some kind of evil Russian guy coming.  That old chestnut.
