St. LCW Volume 13: 1st Taping Results
Reported by Jim Boz
After this barrage of assault, Sinner was left on his knees, from where Hayden nailed him with a kick to the head. All that was left for Hayden was to deliver a moonsault to the prone body of Sinner, and thus secure a three count. Williams had emerged from the four-way, victorious.
Next up, was Sid Justice vs Grell. Being first to enter the ring, Sid Justice took the opportunity to answer the question that he claimed �had been going around since Tides of change�. The question, Sid said, was what was the situation between Justice and Angel? The answer to this, claimed Sid, was that Angel�s contract as his manager had been terminated and thus she was free to do what ever she wanted with her career in St.LCW. After announcing this, Justice said that he wanted to hear nothing more on the topic. What Sid did hear however was the Marilyn Manson song, Sweet dreams, this signalled the arrival of Grell. The battle of the big men began with a collar and elbow tie up, in which Justice seemed to over power Grell by backing him up and then delivering a couple of swift right hands. Grell, however, would soon get into the ascendancy by ducking a clothesline and executing two clothesline�s of his own. After these knock down�s, Grell went for the pin, but Sid was able to kick out.
But Sid�s punishment was not over; Grell went on to level him with a big boot and also a leg drop. With Justice seemingly out, Grell went to the top with the intention of flying off with a leg drop. But, much to the dismay Grell, Sid was able to move before Grell could nail him. This left Grell with a sore bottom and also vulnerable to an attack from Sid. While clutching at his backside, Grell was further harmed by a big boot to the face by Justice. Now in control, Sid proceeded to lay some shots into the kidney of Grell. Sid followed these Kidney punches with one big right hand to the head of the now suffering Grell, with this shot, Grell collapsed. Grell wasn�t down for long before Justice picked him up, only to send him crashing back to earth with a side suplex.
Thinking that Grell may have had enough, Sid went for the pin. Grell however was able to kick out before the count of three, a frustrated Sid then put Grell into a reverse chin lock in the hope of wearing him down. Justice was soon forced to release the hold however, as Grell connected with two elbows to the gut of his opponent. Sid then attempted to cut off Grell�s momentum by dishing out some kicks to the stomach, but, much to the chagrin of Justice, his third kick was caught.
Grell then span Sid around and nailed him with an electrifying spear, Sensing the end was near, Grell then lifted Sid up in preparation for his finishing manoeuvre, the Sweet dreams. But, before Grell could deliver it, Justice slipped off his back and then nailed him with an illegal low blow. For this, the referee gave Sid a stern talking to, this gave Grell some much needed recovery time. Hence, by the time that Sid got back to the match, his opponent was waiting for him with some sharp uppercuts, but unfortunately for Grell, on the fourth time that he swung his arm back to deliver a shot, his elbow accidentally connected with the face of the ref. After inadvertently knocking the official down, Grell turned his attention away from Sid and instead began to focus on the ref that he had injured. This gave Justice the chance to attack his unfocused opponent and knock him to the floor. With both Grell and the ref down, Sid brought a steel chair into the ring and placed it on the ground, he then called for the powerbomb. But, before Sid could deliver the deadly move, Grell reversed the situation by hoisting Justice up for the Sweet dreams. Then, for the second time in the match, Sid countered Grell�s finisher by slipping off the back, only this time Sid completed his escape by grabbing Grell�s neck, hoisting him up in the air and chokeslaming him down onto the steel chair. After Sid disposed of the �evidence�, a dazed ref crawled over to count three and award a tainted victory to Sid. But, make no mistake, Grell can not be happy about the manner of his defeat.
The night�s penultimate contest was a one on one match between Dave Daniels and Boden. Upon his entrance, Dave Daniels took the opportunity to announce that he had �twisted the commissioner�s arm� into doing him a favour. The favour, it turned out, was the firing of Hardcore Yorkie. One can only guess that this was Dave�s way of getting revenge on the man who inadvertently cost him the Intercontinental title at Tides of change. With the news of Hardcore Yorkie�s sacking still sinking in, Boden made his entrance and the match began. The action started with an exchange of punches, and then with Daniels going for his infamous Kendo stick which he had brought to ringside. But, before Dave could use this weapon, the referee snatched the stick away from him. This excellent officiating resulted in Dave taking his eye off the ball and Boden thus being able take him down with a side headlock. Boden then attempted to keep Daniels� shoulders down for a pin, but, Dave not only didn�t stay down, he also rolled Boden back onto his shoulders and scored a near fall himself.
Dave then briefly stayed on top of his old adversary until Boden used Daniels� own momentum against him to escape a waist lock and send DD flying to the outside. Here, Boden assumed the initial advantage by getting in some right hands and also sending Dave�s head crashing off the commentary table. Daniels however, was soon able to get the upper hand by reversing a whip into the wall and then knocking Boden to the floor with a muscular clothesline. Once back in the ring however, Boden almost scored a victory out of nowhere with a quick roll up. But Dave did not only kick out, he also nailed Boden with a super kick once both men had got back to their feet. Now firmly in control, Dave proceeded to execute a snap suplex, which resulted in a near fall, and then he locked in a sleeper hold. Boden was able to escape though by delivering elbows to Daniels� gut, Boden then went on to sink in a sleeper of his own.
Dave was not in trouble for long however, as he countered the sleeper hold with a belly in the back suplex, from which both men stayed down for an extended period of time. Once back up, both men missed attempted kicks on each other, but it was Boden who finally assumed a position of dominance by delivering a leg lariat to Dave. Boden followed this with a barrage of offence in the form of an atomic drop, a front drop kick (which resulted in a near fall) and a side back breaker. With Daniels motionless, Bode was able to nail him with a frog splash from the top. Then, Boden was left astounded as Dave was somehow able to kick out after enduring this usually dependable finisher. So shocked was Boden that he began to question the count of the referee, this gave Dave the opening he needed to hit Boden from behind with a double axe handle. As Boden went down however, he inadvertently took the official down with him.
Thus, Daniels grabbed his Kendo stick and not only hit Boden in the stomach with it, but also across the back of the head. So ferocious was this second shot that the stick snapped and Boden was knocked unconscious. Dave then got rid of the broken foreign object and locked in his dreaded submission hold, just in time for the now recovered ref to crawl over and declare Dave the winner because Boden was unconscious. After the match, Daniels attempted to rub his victory in the face of his long time enemy, but, while bad mouthing a fallen Boden, he was chased away from ringside by a steel chair wielding Angel, who had emerged from the back. Angel then attempted to help her pay-per-view saviour up but Boden, in haste, pushed her away. The unlikely pair did however leave together: in the form of Angel pursuing what seems like a reluctant Boden.
