SINGLES MATCH
"Showtime" Michael Shane w/ Lizzy Valentine vs. "New Age Punisher" B-Boy
RESULTS: Michael Shane and B-Boy really seemed to peak the interest of the crowd tonight, both having such clashing qualities that the fans knew this would be a pretty heated battle. We got a glimpse of Michael Shane's game plan early, as both men circled the ring and Lizzy tripped up B-Boy and Shane quickly took the fight to him as he was caught off guard. He tried to keep B-Boy grounded and neutralize his striking, but B-Boy showed himself to very versatile in the mat game and actually had Shane begging for mercy by the end of the exchange with sort of a Full Nelson variation using his legs. Lizzy would try to get involved again in the match, but B-Boy was wise and side stepped Shane's attempt at attacking him and kicked and chopped the crap out of him before nailing a brainbuster that got him a close two count. The end of the match came after Shane caught B-Boy by surprise with a superkick and went to the top for the Picture Perfect Elbow, but B-Boy rolled out of the way and nailed a Shining Wizard to get the flash finish!
WINNER: "New Age Punisher" B-Boy
TAG TEAM MATCH
Carnival Diablo: Original Sinn & Vampiro w/ Sinister Minister vs. Pure Violence: David Young & John Xavier
RESULTS: Young and Xavier really took the fight to Sinn and Vampiro here tonight, which is the only way these guys have ever rolled. It started out as Young and Sinn and Young grounded Sinn pretty well after some pretty brutal clotheslines and belly-to-belly suplexs. Young made the tag to Xavier and Sinn caught an opening after an Xavier whip to nail a spinning heel kick and then jump and tag in Vampiro. Xavier went right after Vampiro, but found himself in a double choke bomb that almost got a surprise three, but Young broke it up with a roundhouse to Vampiro's spine. Vampiro made a bit of a mistake attempting a high risk springboard wheel kick, which Xavier ducked and nailed him in the head with a couple of knees and then a big high impact swinging neckbreaker before tagging back to Young. Young later would nearly get a three count on Vampiro after a Death Valley Driver, but Sinister Minister got up on the apron and distracted the referee. Little did they know Minister slid in his cane to Vampiro and Vamp used it to low blow Young. Vampiro made a quick tag to Sinn and then ran over and knocked Xavier off the apron. Sinn came off the top with a NICE Guillitine Legdrop and hooked the leg to get the pinfall.
WINNERS: Carnival Diablo
SINGLES MATCH
Paul London vs. "Man Beast" Rhino
RESULTS: London seemed to have the right idea in the beginning of this match, trying to be quick on his feet and avoid Rhino, but then I guess he got a little anxious and shot in and tried to take down Rhino to the mat. Big mistake. Rhino grabbed London by his hair and leveled him with a clothesline, then really started beating the crap out of him on the mat with crossface punches and knees to the back. London was able to redeem himself, however, by flipping over what looked like it could've been a spinebuster and nailing an enzuguri. London was surprisingly the first one to use a weapon in this match, taking the No DQ environment to heart and taking it to Rhino before he could take it to him him, jamming a chair into Rhino's gut and smacking him on the back with it. London almost defeated Rhino relatively early with a Springboard Moonsault, but Rhino powered out just in the nick of time. Rhino caught him with a powerslam and then tossed him to the outside of the ring to change up to momentum. Rhino smashed him into the rails and Gorilla Press dropped him face first onto the apron to show his dominance, following up with a very dangerous Sit-Out Piledriver on the damn CONCRETE! Rhino rolled London back into the ring and tried to get the win right there, but London gutted it out and stayed in the match! Rhino went to the outside and grabbed a table and slid it in. He set it in the corner and tried to Gore London right through it, but London got a boot up and caught Rhino in the face to send him back hard. London followed that up nailing a Drop Sault right to Rhino's jaw, then grabbed the chair from earlier and unfolded it. London ran up the chair and jumped and Mushroom Stomped Rhino right to the back of the head and sent him JAW FIRST INTO THE BACK OF THE CHAIR! Rhino stumbled and end up laying against the table in the corner. London turned the chair and ran off of it and nailed something similar to A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR SPEAR OFF THE SEAT OF THE CHAIR PUTTING RHINO THROUGH THE TABLE! Rhino rolled from the rubble and London headed up top, both moving rather slow. London ended up hitting his amazing Shooting Star Press dubbed the London Calling and that was that.
WINNER: Paul London
SINGLES MATCH
"Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal" Sabu vs. "Syxx-Pac" Sean Waltman
RESULTS: Sean Waltman talked a tough game earlier in the week, but he didn't seem too eager to tangle with Sabu. Once they tied up, both men exchanged quick armdrags and takedowns and Sabu ended up catching Waltman with a hurracanrana and flurry of punches to take control of the match. Waltman low blowed him and headed to the outside, thinking he was safe, but Sabu faught through it and hobbled and jogged and launched himself through the ropes and caught Waltman from behind with a crossbody, sending him into the rail! Sabu continued the assualt with chairs and ruined one of our few cameras by grabbing it and smashing it right into Waltman's head! Waltman was able to dodge a legdrop from the apron from Sabu and grab one of the chairs and smash him with it, making a comeback. He unfolded it after that and ran and jumped off the seat and hit a thrust kick to Sabu that sent Sabu flying into the rail, then picked it and flung it and smacked Sabu right into the upper midsection/face area! Waltman went under the ring and pulled out the second table of the night and set it up on the outside! Waltman spinning heel kicked Sabu onto the table and then rolled into the ring, looking to maybe launch himself out onto Sabu, but Sabu had already recovered and grabbed Waltman's leg. After a struggle that saw Waltman reverse an outdoor suplex attempt by landing on the apron, Sabu found his way back inside and shouldered Waltman and nailed the ARABIAN POWERBOMB TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH THE TABLE! Sabu ended up rolling Waltman into the ring and nailing the Arabian Moonsault to get the three count after very physical contest.
WINNER: Sabu
TAG TEAM MATCH
UK Suicide Squad: Doug Williams & Paul Birchall vs. Midwest Machine Guns: Alex Shelley & Colt Cabana
RESULTS: This match was a very intense, physical, but overall technical wrestling match that deserved to be the main event for sure. The fans were very hot for this one, as they love the Machine Guns and the feared UKSS and were into every switch up and reversal and hard shot. The Machine Guns really tried to take the fight to the Squad, Shelley seemingly pulling out a side of Cabana most of us had never seen, Cabana wrestling very ruthless and semi-cheap, really trying to win this match, but the UK Suicida Squad are probably the best team in the entire world and they showed just why. Birchall showed off his monster skills in spades, hitting moves like the double springboard lariat to Cabana and Shelley and a double flapjack all by himself, following up with a near three count on Shelley with a Gorilla Press into a sit-out powerbomb! This guy is a freak show, for sure, while Williams' work really resembled that of William Regal or Fit Finaly, just a smart ground and pound mat wrestling. Shelley tried to use his quickness and technical wrestling savvy to his advantage, but he was dealing with two thorough bred English wrestler and had a hard time out wrestling them. By the end of the match this thing had pretty much broken down in a frantic frenzy and Cabana was really trying to pull something out of his hat, nailing a springboard DDT on Williams for a close two count at one point. The finish came with a flash of Birchall, as he caught Shelley running with a Tilt-to-Whirl Dominator! Followed that up by back body dropping Cabana right onto Shelley, and then nailed his C-4 (Back Flip Rock Bottom) on Cabana! Williams headed up top and nailed the Bomb Scare Kneedrop for good measure on Cabana and both men pinned him to get the victory! What a match, but also, what a team in Williams and Birchall! Who can stop them!?
WINNERS: The UK Suicide Squad
