Coastal Championship Wrestling “Alive” Episode 95 debuted Tuesday on YouTube. This episode’s match was pre-taped at Bash at the Brew 17 from the Unbranded Brewing Company in Hialeah, Florida on June 4, 2022. Here is what happened:
MATCH #1
CHA CHA CHARLIE vs. ANTHONY CATENA
AMBULANCE MATCH
Ten weeks ago, in Episode 85, we saw the return of Anthony Catena to CCW after many years. Catena cut a promo apologizing for his past behavior and seemed to want to make things right with the CCW faithful. Later in the episode, however, Catena turned on CCW champion Cha Cha Charlie and brutally attacked him after a grueling title defense. In episode 95, Charlie got his chance for revenge …in an ambulance match.
Catena tried to attack before the bell, but Charlie hit a sling blade, spine buster, and Mangu splash quickly and pointed to the ambulance. Catena narrowly escaped being forced into the emergency vehicle in record time and the action made its way back into the ring.
As we returned from commercial, Catena nearly knocked out the champion with a Shane McMahon style coast to coast drop kick with a trash can. This time, Catena looked to drag the champion to the ambulance. However, Cha Cha Charlie’s associate stood in Catena’s way and would not let him pass. As Catena dealt with the impediment, Cha Cha Charlie crawled back into the ring. When Catena followed, Charlie smashed a guitar on his head.
The two men exchanged blows as they rose to their feet before Charlie clotheslined them both over the top rope and they brawled through the crowd. As they neared the ambulance, Catena rammed Charlie’s head into a nearby ring truck and threw him on top of the vehicle. Catena climbed up onto the truck himself, but Charlie was waiting. The champion bulldogged Catena off the truck into the back stage area.
When the CCW cameras scrambled to get a shot and confirm that the two men were still alive, security came through the curtain assisting both men to the ambulance for real. The ring announcer took the microphone and announced that the match was a draw as neither man could continue. Charlie refused to accept that decision, leapt off of a stretcher and attacked Catena once more.
Inside the ring, Catena missed with a swinging chair shot, which allowed Charlie to hit a dropkick that sent Catena back out onto the floor. On the outside, Catena found another chair and connected with a hard shot, then looked for an extension cord and began choking the champion.
Charlie managed to grab the chair and hit Catena in the head, forcing Catena to release the choke. Charlie laid Catena across a table, climbed on top of the ambulance, put his hat on, and looked to the crowd for approval. Another Mangu splash from the champion broke the table, and softened Catena up enough to be easily thrown into the ambulance. After the match, Ariel Levy confronted Cha Cha Charlie and sent clear notice that he wants the next title shot.
WINNER: CHA CHA CHARLIE
