Pro Wrestling R6GE - End of the Line (DVD Taping)

06/05/09
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Attendance: 900+

Opening montage begins to roll with "End of the Line" by DevilDriver playing in the background. Afterwards, we head to Joey Styles and Scott D'Amore at the announcer's table, as they run down the card with the viewers and give a little insight into things before we go ahead and kick things off with our first match of the night.

Match One
Triple Threat Match

"The Rising Son" Chris Sabin defeats Kevin Steen & "Dangerboy" Derek Wylde by way of pinfall.

Steen was playing the bully heel in this match, and Sabin and Wylde weren't having any part of it. Steen managed to nail some impressive moves, such as a Wrist Clutch Powerbomb and some sharp suplexs, but Sabin whiped him out pretty good with a springbord hurricanrana off the apron that sent him slamming into the guardrail. Sabin got the pinfall after nailing an Avalanche Fisherman's Buster on Wylde, and the crowd gave a very favorable reaction.

Cody Deaner headed out to the ring in all of his white trashy goodness and cut a promo, hitting on some ladies in the crowd and getting cheers despite the ladies being clearly repulsed by his demeanor and gestures. A Japanese man with a super mullet comes down the ramp, though, looking thoroughly unamused. Joey Styles let's us know that this man's name is SHINGO Takagi, representing All-Japan, and he wastes no time slapping the taste out of Deaner's mouth, causing Cody to tackle him and start throwing punches. The bell sounds and we have a match on our hands!

Match Two
Standard Match

SHINGO Takagi defeats Cody Deaner by way of pinfall.

This was a pretty wild match that saw a lot of brawling, primarily. SHINGO was on the attack with hard kicks and chops, while Deaner laid a lot of right hands to his Japanese adversary. Deaner went up top and took some risks, paying off with a high crossbody block, but a critical miss on a Guillitine Legdrop shifted the balance and lead SHINGO nailing his Last Falconry (Wrist-Clutch Reverse Fireman's Carry Driver) to get the pinfall. After the match, SHINGO spits on the fallen Deaner and gives him a few stomps for good measure, causing him to get booed by the fans on the way back to the lockerroom.

Match Three
Six Man Tag Team Match

Original Sinn, Travis Bain, and Judas Mesias defeat "Loose Cannon" Nick Dinsmore, Brent Albright, and Roderick Strong by way of pinfall.

This was a very intense match up that saw Sinn, Bain, and Mesias hold nothing back from the arsenal in trying to get inside the minds of their opponents and hurt them, whether that mean biting, clawing, low blows, double or triple teams. They were very ruthless and it paid off. Strong managed to mount a good comeback for his team after Dinsmore had been isolated for a good three to five minutes, charing with precision dropkicks and the stiffest chops imaginable, but Travis Bain managed to catch him with a Yakuza kick that turned things back around. Strong tagged out to Albright, who had seen a little ring time but was probably the freshest man in the match, and he did a very good job, actually powerbombing the large Bain to the surprise of the audience, but after some distraction to the referee, Mesias swept in and clocked Albright with a chain and he and Sinn held back Strong and Dinsmore as Bain made the cover and got the three. Dinsmore went crazy afterwards, actually pulling a fork out of his trunks and attacked Mesias, Bain, and Sinn all with the object, causing them to high tail it to the back.

The ever smug Chris Hero comes to the ring and cuts a promo about how his debut is a landmark occassion for not just R6GE, but the entire country of Canada. Finally they have something to be proud of, as a true competitor walks their soil and calls their premier wrestling company his own. And it will be his, as he can own anybody in the ring, and he will be taking championship gold sooner than later. Well, one guy was tired of hearing Hero's mouth as he began to argue with some of the fans, getting into an argument with one "fat boy" in the crowd in particular, and that was Low Ki. Low Ki didn't have a word to say, just a war path to stomp down, and Hero was out of the ring as Low Ki entered, not really wanting a piece.

Match Four
Standard Match

Low Ki defeats Chris Hero by way of submission.

Ki had to do a little chasing around the ring at the beginning. Hero slid in the ring and began to run off the ropes and when Ki got in, he was caugth with a dropkick to the face. Hero kept Ki grounded at the beginning, starting out with a pretty basic abdominal stretch, but later twisted in and ended up in a cross leg grounded cravat position, which Ki managed to scoot over and grab the ropes to break. Ki managed to reverse an attempted powerbomb by floating over with a sunset flip and pushing Hero through, rolling backwards and ending up roundhouse kicking him right to the temple! The brought the ball into Ki's court, who went ahead and nailed the Tidal Crush shortly after and hit a Dragon Suplex to get a two count. Hero came back, nailing a Handspring Elbow and as he looked to be doing a high risk slingshot move, he landed on his feet and locked on another cravat, eliciting boos from the crowd as he laughs it up. He pulls up Ki, holding the cravat, and yanks him upward then sits out, driving him ass first into the canvas which wrenches his neck and spine all kinds of bad ways and attempts a cover, but only a two count. Hero is frusterated and arguing with the referee. Hero uses some chops and then a whip, which he turns into an attempted Roaring Elbow, but Ki ducks and delivers a Ganmenjiri, followed by a backdrop driver, then followed by an awesome Phoenix Splash, but Hero still kicked out. After a little time and some reversals, Hero went on to attempt the Hero's Welcome (Inverted Swinging Neckbreaker), but Ki rolled through it and turned it into the Dragon Clutch, which made Hero tap and gave Ki the victory!

Matt Striker comes out to the ring wearing an Argyle sweater vest and pink trunks featuring a picture of... himself on the back. Good taste. He takes the mic and let's the fans know that class and intelligence have finally emerged in the passe world of R6GE, and they were all looking at it. He says that he's done many great things in his life, things others could only dream of, from world travel to world class competition to teaching the world's children. He claims that he is actually on the short list for future sainthood. He says tonight he looks for a challenger of equal caliber, though he probably won't find it, but he wants a respectful battle, nonetheless. By the books. No malarky. And then hits "Runnin' Wild" by Airbourne and out walks a man who needs no introduction, because he'll do it himself... MISTER KENNEDY... KENNEDY! Kennedy says the only thing above average about Striker is the size of his mouth, which is way too big even for his gigantic head... but he's got something he thinks will shut it up. No, he says, not what Striker hopes, as it's pretty obvious which side he's batting for with those campy tights... no, it's called his boot and it's going to be shoved down his throat in about five seconds! Kennedy rushes down to the ring and these two are scrapping as the bell sounds.

Match Five
Standard Match

Ken Kennedy defeats Matt Striker by way of pinfall.

This was an excellently worked match by these two, as Striker really worked the crowd as a heel and showed his showmanship, taunting them as he held Kennedy down with some good ground work and also showed off some innovative technical skills as well, nailing a Hammerlock sweep DDT that got him an early two count. Kennedy, though, rallied back and had the fans behind him, stomping and clapping and catching Striker with a devastating Death Valley Driver and Complete Shot to get near two counts. Striker headed to the outside, looking for a break, but Kennedy knocked him from pillar to post before heading him back into the ring. Striker managed catch Kennedy with a surprise school boy, holding the tights much to the fan's dismay, but Kennedy shocked him by kicking out! Kennedy ducked a wild clothesline attempt from Striker and nailed him with a spinebuster that set up a Kenton Bomb (Swandive) that got Kennedy the win! Kennedy took the mic and announced himself the winner and then headed to the outside wear the fans gave him many pats on the back for a job well done. Striker was left snivling and conniving in the center of the ring, his big debut ruined.

Match Six
Tag Team Match

"The Show Stealer" Michael Shane & Joey Matthews defeat "Dynamite" Josh Daniels & Davey Richards by way of pinfall.

Well paced, but short match saw the explosive Daniels and Richards coming on hard against the savvy but arrogant Shane and Matthews. Shane pulled the referee infront of a clothesline from Daniels and then sent him to the outside of the ring, whiched allowed Matthews to mule kick Richards and then Shane and Matthews double superkicked Richards to put him down. Shane pulled the ref over and Matthews pinned to get the win here, which the fans were none too happy about, but Daniels brought a chair in the ring and chased off those two scumbags before they could spend too much time celebrating this tainted victory.

We see a montage of the ongoings between Justin Credible and Frankie Kazarian over the last few shows, leading to this first time one on one confrontation between the two. Credible has been very proficient with the Singapore cain so far, but the heart and drive of Kazarian may prove to be too much of a match for even his most sinister antics.

Match Seven
No Disqualification Match

Frankie Kazarian defeats "The Hardcore Icon" Justin Credible by way of pinfall.

This match started out very technical for a No DQ match, as Kazarian wanted to test Credible's mat wrestling meddle and it proved to be pretty sound, as Credible was, in fact, trained in the Hart Dungeon, afterall. Kazarian, though, ended up getting the better of it and caught Credible in a cross armbar that sent Credible squirming for the ropes and to the outside. A brawl ensued on the floor, where these men sent the "fistest a-flyin'" as the great Dusty Rhodes might say. Kazarian hit an amazing Swinging DDT in which he leaped right over the guardrail and grabbed Credible, crashing him right onto the concrete floor! Credible got a receipt for that, however, piledriving him on a chair and then jumping off the guardrail with a legdrop. Credible caught Kazarian with two solid Singapore cain shots, one to the head and the other to the back, before sending him to the outside. Credible set him in the corner and looked to be going for a Tornado DDT, but Kazarian blocked it and nailed a big jumping palm strike, setting him up on the top and nailing the Flux Capacitor (Backflip Rock Bottom Off the Top), but he was hurt himself and couldn't pin immediately, which gave Credible enough time to recover and kick out! The fans were amazed by that. Credible managed to comeback and nail a swift superkick that got him a two count. Credible went outside and brought table into play. Credible tried to get Kazarian up on the table, but Kazarian faught back and sent a kick to his gut, then grabbed him by the leg and nailed the Suicide Solution (Leg Hook Release Belly-To-Back Suplex) right through the table! Kaz makes the cover and gets the victory, and the fans give these two a standing ovation!

Chris Jericho is out to the ring now, where he claims that he has been constantly cheated in this company and he has had enough of it! He says that the no talent hacks are leeching on this company and sucking it under, along with the good name of Chris Jericho! No more! He will not be made a fool of any longer! He says Colt Cabana has been very lucky, but his luck will run out soon enough, and then he will be down on his level... humiliated, tormented as the fans boo and turn on him... he vows that once he is done with him, he will never... be the same... AGAIN! "Live For The Moment" by Monster Magnet hits and out walks "The Revolution Man" Matt Hardy with a purpose! He says all he's heard for weeks now is Jericho crying about this or that or the other, and he's damn tired of it. He says that Jericho needs to stop worrying about Colt Cabana, because he's got much bigger problems... he is in the midst of a REVOLUTION, one following his beliefs... Mattitude! The fans, they are his loyal followers, the M'Fers, and tonight he'll take Jericho down and show him up for what he truly is, a small, insignificant coward. The M'Fn Revolution continues and it's about to roll right over Chris Jericho!

Match Eight
Standard Rules

Chris Jericho defeats "The Revolution Man" Matt Hardy by way of TKO.

This match was very fiery, as Hardy came in blasting away on Jericho, making Chris beg for mercy but he showed absolutely none. Jericho managed to catch Hardy with a desperation drop toehold to switch the momentum, but found himself on the business end of a Side Effect (Sit-Out Rock Bottom) to get laid down for a quick two count. Jericho managed to reverse a whip and catch Hardy with a calf kick, followed up with a dropkick to the back of the head and a big snap suplex to get a two, and it seemed he was in complete control from there. Hardy, though, managed to catch Jericho with a boot and a Butterfly DDT into a submission, but Jericho got to the ropes before tapping. Hardy attempted a Shotei palm strike, but Jericho ducked it and caught him with a Chest Compactor to get a quick two count. Jericho got upset with the ref, but ended up catching Hardy with a bulldog and attempting the Lionsault, but Hardy rolled out of the way and nailed him with a kick, looking for the Twist of Fate (DDT to Cutter), but Jericho managed to shove him off and kicked him, running off the ropes and nailing a sunset flip... he rolls all the way through and the ref is counting, but Jericho is holding the middle rope! Oh, Hardy kicks out and the crowd erupts! Jericho rolls to the outside as Hardy tries to get up. Hardy reachesover the top and grabs Jericho by the hair, attempting to pull him up but OH! Jericho had a pair of brass knuckles in his tights and just blasted Hardy with them, but the ref didn't get a good look. Jericho quickly slides in and locks of a high angled Liontamer (Modified Boston Crab) and the ref checks Hardy... he's out cold. The ref smells a rat, but he didn't see anything, so he has to give the win to the vile Chris Jericho! The fans are booing away as Jericho holds on, not wanting to let go, but then finally does and blows kisses to them and acts as though they are showing him adoration. Sickening.

Match Nine
Six Man Tag Team Match

El Generico, "Bombay Badboy" Sonjay Dutt, and "Virgin Slayer" Shiima Xion defeat "Prince of Punk" Shannon Moore, Jack Evans, and "Straight Edge Vigilante" Josh Prohbition by way of pinfall.

This match saw a lot of tagging and flying to the outside, which is what these fans seemed to crave. They were on their feet the entire match, as hot exchanges Dutt and Proby, Evans and Xion, and Generico and Moore first tore things up. Then the double teaming by Evans and Prohibition on Dutt, which saw them nail an awesome Alley Oop/Springboard DDT combo to get a near fall. Shiima Xion was a fresh face to this crowd and they really seemed to love him... and the Cancun Tornado (Twisting Suicida) he did to the outside on everybody in the match, causing a huge trainwreck. Generico, of course, was academic most popular in the match, while Moore really worked to be the most hated, but Evans was good with that as well, hitting amazing moves straight out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The match came to an end after Evans missed the Corkscrew 630, taking him out, allowing Xion to nail Moore with the From Lust to Dust (Snapmare Driver) to get the pinfall! All three of the winners celebrated in the middle of the ring, while Xion kept his right boot planted firmly on Moore's chest for the photo op! Very gratifying for the audience.

We now see a montage for the International title tournament, which saw eight men enter and is now down to just Colt Cabana and Devon Storm. They have had a hard road to get here, and neither man wants to leave empty handed. Who will be the champion? We will see... next!

Match Ten
Standard Match: International Title

"The Darkness" Devon Storm defeats "Classic" Colt Cabana by way out pinfall.

This match was excellent, as the crowd was all aboard for Cabana, but the dark psychoticness of Storm always adds an interesting level of mystique to the mix. Storm came in hard, taking Cabana down and keeping the fists coming, and biting at him at various points, eventually nailing a standing moonsault to get a two count. Cabana caught him by surprise, however, with a Crucifix pin that ended up being a two count, followed up with a spin kick to the gut and nailing the Cabanarama (Fisherman's Buster), rolled right into the very popular Canadian Bacon Leaf (Modified Inverted Cloverleaf) that sent Storm desperately grasping for the ropes. Cabana shook Storm up with a series of Bionic Elbows and then nailed a Missile Dropkick to get a two count, and it was visible that Storm was feeling very shaken by this flurry from Cabana, causing him to go low with a fist to turn things around and he got booed like hell for it. "The Darkness" nailed The Mindbender (Sit-Out Gordbuster) to get a two count, and followed that up with an inverted triangle hold to keep Cabana down. Cabana got to the ropes and Storm used his entire 5 count. The match progressed on, and both men showed sings of wear. Cabana hit an avalanche double knee in the corner to Storm and nailed a Tornado Snap Suplex, going for the cover, when out from the curtains ran Chris Jericho. Cabana only got a two, but then saw Jericho and became distracted. Storm took advantage of this and double axe handled him to the back of the neck. Storm seemed to be going his Dark Embrace (Tornado DDT to Guillitine), but Cabana reversed it and dropped him face first on the top turnbuckle. Jericho jumped up on the apron at this point, distracting Cabana and the ref, but out ran MATT HARDY to the crowds liking! Hardy pulled Jericho off the apron and began to lay into him with solid rights, but the damage was done. Colt turned around right into a spinning wheel kick from Storm, followed up by the Darkness Falls (Flying DDT) and that's all she wrote. Devon Storm is the first R6GE International Champion! Hardy and Jericho battle to the back as Storm is presented with his title, looking maniacal and biting the top rope as the fans boo. Storm takes the mic and makes an address, stating that the darkness has spread and consumed the highest level of R6GE, but it doesn't stop there... the rest of the WWA will fall to "The Darkness"! With that omen, he leaves with his shining new championship belt and a lot to brag about.
