Here is a quick recap of the show and the full announcement by GM Emily Helt.

Match #1

Bob Batch vs. Brandon Walsh

Pace: Medium

Mid-Match Notes: Back and forth action. Finch and Salyer banned from ringside along with DS Inc and The Man Beasts. Walsh played the bully with his size but Batch attacked the lower body of his opponent for tactical advantages.

The Finish: Batch had the match won but Walsh hit a low blow while the referee was distracted and rolled up Batch for the pin.

Winner: At 6:57, Walsh wins by pinfall.

Aftermath: None.

Match #2

703 vs. DS Inc.

Pace: Fast

Pre-match Notes: 703 was the face in this match. Eli teased tweener status but it looks like DS Inc. will remain heels for the time being. Eli was very cocky on the mic before the match and tore into The Man Beasts which the crowd cheered. In the next breath, Eli said he could beat anyone, even the washed up fools B and Jay. The crowd did not like this however.

Mid-Match Notes: Back and forth action. Champion Eli Jimenez was back to his old tricks in the ring. Jimenez yelled and the crowd one moment and the next tried to pump them up. Eli looks to be the ultimate Tweener as the champion which folks is unheard of.

The Finish: Clyne and Galster drew pops from the crowd all night but failed to win the match when Martus helped Jimenez reverse a pin with the ref distracted. Jimenez used the ropes and pinned Clyne

Winner: DS Inc. wins by pinfall at 8:03.

Aftermath: Eli and Martus teased the crowd with cheers and jeers. Where do these guys stand.

Main Event

Brian Salyer vs. DJ Finch

Pace: Slow

Mid-Match Notes: Again, Batch and Walsh were banned from ringside along with The Man Beasts and DS Inc. Finch was in control most of the match because Salyer seemed to have trouble with a knee injury. We are not sure if he was playing it up or if there is a legit injury.

The Finish: Salyer capitalized on Finch’s arrogance and got a near pinfall. Finch locked in the Redneck Bearhug and Salyer passed out.

Winner: At 7:27, Finch wins by submission.

Aftermath: Batch stormed the ring and kicked the hell out of Finch prompting Walsh to waddle to the ring. The two teams exchangd punches as The Tag Team Champions got the upperhand. The Rednecks showed off their belts to the crowd when the GM came out for the announcement of the night.

“Well folks, this Saturday, May 21st, at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, will be our brand’s PPV Ricochet.” The crowd roared above the “asshole” chants. “We will only feature 3 matches. Do not be discouraged, because our main event is one that can not be missed!” The Rednecks looked on in anticipation. “The Wasp has requested a match with is longtime rival Ricky O’Ban. In our second match, the newest member of the Man Beasts, Casey Nelson, will be making his in-ring debute against The Human Submission Machine, Derek Van Harren!” The crowd popped at Van Harran’s name because he has somewhat of a cult following like so many of the past ECW wrestlers. “And finally, our main event. There are two things I take pride in for this division. First, the Chaos division has a GM that is above the people she commands. (The crowd jeers and chants.) Second, we are innovative beyond imagination. The tag team division may be dead on Raw and Smackdown, but not here in the world of Chaos. Although it pains me to make you happy, the board of trustees for the WWE has created a match for our PPV that will blow your minds. The Chaos division, this Saturday at Ricochet, will premier the first ever 6-tag team title match. Here is how it will work. Two tag teams will start out against each other and after 5 minutes, a third tag team will join into the match. After 1 of the initial 3 is eliminated, the fourth will come out. Once another is eliminated, the 5th will come out and finally the 6th. The last team standing at the end will be our new WWE Chaos Tag Team Champions! (The crowd loved the idea!) This match is dubbed the 6 Team Roundtable Brawl!”

The Rednecks seemed pissed at the notion that they would have to defeat 5 other teams to keep their titles. They yelled at the GM and the crowd.

“The order of teams will be random of course but I am sure you want to know who the 6 teams will be. In no particular order we will have the current champions, The Rednecks (boo’s), The Man Beasts (louder boo’s), 703 (cheers), Corp R (mixed reactions), DS Inc. (very loud boo’s) and finally our 6th team, making their return to greatness, The Night and Day Franchise, (The crowd absolutely erupts louder than ever before. The crowd is so loud that the sound system explodes from over loaded noise.) The crowd chanted “B and Jay” as the show went off the air.
