Welcome to GlobalTrollz LIVE Synergy Coverage for September 10th, 2018!
Championship Roll Call:
World Heavyweight Champion: Alan Wallace
Cross-Hemisphere Champion: Alan Wallace
Cooperative Champions: Team Kickass
Chaos Champion: Travis Pierce
Welcome to this week's Synergy recap! I'm Brutus Weathertop, all set to bring you the not-so-live-but-live-to-you coverage of Synergy.
After last week’s night of appreciation for Sarah Lacklan, the road to Outlast continues tonight, with all six captains in action in a massive six pack challenge, with the winner securing the overall first pick in tonight’s draft. Tonight also features one of the biggest main events in Synergy history, the first ever singles match between Alan Wallace and Jet Somers, two of the greatest champions in UGWC history, as they meet with the Cross-Hemisphere Championship on the line.
As a reminder, the 2018 Outlast Draft also goes down tonight, beginning after Synergy goes off the air.
Your Synergy coverage begins, now…
- Vinegar, Hans, and Jay give us the usual intro that transitions into childish bickering. [/CopyPaste]
We begin by going backstage, where Eden and Baal are conducting interviews.
Both competitors make their way to the ring, with former head official Glenn Burke set to call the action. Covert Jay makes a remark about not realizing this was an edition of #Chill, because he’s an eight-year-old trapped in a grown ninja’s body.
Deimos takes the early advantage, sending Kem to the mat with a series of arm drags and hip tosses. A kick to the stomach followed by a stalling vertical suplex gets Phrix a one-count only, but he keeps up the pressure. Kem finds herself on the receiving end of three rolling German suplexes, Phrix bridging on the final one that results in a count of two-and-a-half before Dynamo can get her shoulder off the mat. Irish whip sends Kem into the corner and Deimos takes off towards her full speed. Kem moves at the last second, and Deimos flies through the top and middle ropes, his right shoulder clanging off of the ring post.
Kem begins working on the right arm and shoulder of Phrix, attacking with numerous clubbing blows and elbows. Arm wringer is performed with such force that it sends Phrix face-first into the mat, where Kem begins laying the boots to his arm and shoulder. Arm bar applied, Kem wrenching at it in order to apply as much pressure as possible, but Phrix is able to hook the bottom rope with his left foot, and Kem is forced to break the hold. Deimos rolling to the outside to regain his bearings.
Burke starts his count, but Kem doesn’t plan on giving Fear that much time to recover. She flies through the ropes with a suicide dive that drives the small of Phrix’s back into the guardrail, and then a sidewalk slam leaves Deimos in pain as he lays on the floor and reaches for his back. Kem up on the ring apron now, comes flying off with a Hangover that finds its mark, and then she drags him to his feet and shoves him back into the ring. Cover gets a two-count.
Chickenwing submission applied by Kem, and she falls to the mat and grapevines her legs around Fear’s waist. Deimos in a lot of pain with his shoulder, but is able to leverage his body to the point of Kem being in a pinning predicament, and she releases the hold in order to break up the pin attempt. Ace cutter connects, but again Fear is too close to the ropes, and he is able to drape his leg over the bottom one.
Kem calling for the Lights Out, as she drags Fear to his feet, but he connects with a boot to the gut, and then spikes her with a jumping DDT. Pulling her back to her feet, he lifts her into a fireman’s carry, tossing her into the air and driving the back of her head and neck into his knee with a variation of a neckbreaker. He heads to the top rope where he comes off with a Meteor Press, and Burke records the three-count.
Winner: Phrixus Deimos
Time: 9:26
Some controversy at the end, as there was a question as to whether Kem got her shoulder up before Burke slapped the mat for the third time. She’s pointing it out to Burke as the replay shows on the Global-Tron, but he can be heard telling her that the result is final, and his decision stands.
A person comes through the crowd and slides into the ring behind of Kem. A running forearm clobbers the back of her head, wiping her out. The newly returned Cazador effortlessly rips her to her feet and lifts her high into the air with a vertical suplex. Colombian Guillotine time, and Kem is writhing in agony as she furiously slaps the left hand of Cazador that is wrapped around her throat. She eventually stops moving, passing out from the pain, and then Cazador just releases his grip, causing Kem to fall limply to the mat, as the fans boo unmercifully.
Backstage, the interviews continue.
Three competitors are in the ring, waiting as Eden Morgan’s music plays for the second time. Hazel East shakes her head and motions for the bell, changing this match to a threeway instead. The announcers admonish Eden’s absence, but Raab, de Dieu, and Cotton are ready to go!
Le Bord runs at Raab, diving under his legs like she’s sliding into home plate, but rolls over onto her back and draws her legs up to kick the backs of his knees. Raab stumbles to his knees, but as Le Bord goes to spring back to her feet, Cotton catches her with a kick to the back of the head, flattening her.
Roxy leaps onto the ropes, and hits a split-legged moonsault onto Raab, going for the cover, but Raab kicks out. He kips up and grabs Roxy, whipping her to the ropes, but as he sets up for a back body drop, de Dieu leaps between them, leaping up for a dropkick on Roxy at the same time she’s locking Konrad into a neckbreaker. As the crowd roars at her agility, Bordy covers Roxy, but Cotton gets the ropes and East stops the count.
Raab bulldogs Le Bord before she can get to her feet, and throws her into the corner. Running corner splash from Raab causes Le Bord to stumble out, and she steps right into a triangle chokehold. Konrad locks it in, but here comes Cotton. She goes for a handspring elbow but Raab scouts it and sidesteps while still clutching the hold, Roxy hits the ropes, and her momentum carries her through the ropes and she spills to the outside.
De Dieu is fading as her arms stop struggling with Raabs, and go limp at her sides. East goes to check on her at Konrad’s encouragement, but Roxy suddenly grabs Raab’s leg from the outside and trips him up. As he and le Bord hit the mat face down, Roxy drags him viciously to the outside.
Raab looks up, shaking out the cobwebs from the impact of crashing to the mat and then the floor in short order. What he sees causes his eyes to go wide; Roxy is stalking toward him, but looking through him as she clutches the amulet resting against her chest. As she gets closer, it doesn’t even seem like she’s looking at him anymore, but as he goes to push himself to his feet, she suddenly snaps her right leg up and stomps him in the chest, driving him back down to the mat. She’s still staring straight forward as she lifts her leg again and stomps again!
The announcers grow more and more disgusted as Roxy continues to stomp on the chest of Raab, long after he’s obviously already beaten. She hasn’t looked down at him yet, but she suddenly turns and stares daggers at where Le Bord is getting to her hands and knees. Roxy dives under the bottom rope. She glides to her feet, snatching Le Bord up by the hair as she rises to her feet, and hits a Muff Diver!
And then another one!
And another one…
It’s only after a superfluous number of Muff Divers that Roxy finally goes for the pin, and East quickly counts the three to bring this madness to an end.
Winner: Roxy Cotton
Time: 7:41
Backstage, Gabriel and Eden are still at it.
Rydell enters first to a mixture of boos and tepid silence. Most seem unsure of what to make of the latest return of one of UGWC’s most well-known veterans. He makes his entrance and eventually throws his shirt to ringside, then stares up the ramp and demands that Kenzi Gray enter. He doesn’t have long to wait as her music almost instantly cues up and she enters to a thunderous cheer. She acknowledges the fans, which just makes them cheer louder and then makes her way to the ring. Once she’s there, referee Sam Green checks both of them for foreign objects and then calls for the bell.
The second it rings, Rydell walks out to meet Kenzi in center ring, where he promptly trash talks her and then pie-faces her. She stumbles back a few steps and doesn’t get a chance to recover as Rydell charges her and flattens her into the corner. He grabs her by her hair and yanks her to the mat, which earns him a warning from Sam, who he glares it. He turns back to Kenzi and is promptly rolled up for a quick two before he angrily kicks out. Both professionals get to their feet at about the same time and Rydell immediately grabs Kenzi and whips her off of the ropes. As she gets back to him, he grabs her under her arms and throws her up into the air.
She twists in mid air and slams both feet into his face on her way down with a dropkick. The strike staggers Rydell while she lands and kips back up. She immediately charges at him, ducks under a clothesline attempt and kicks him in the back of the right knee. He spins and swings at her, but she ducks under it and kicks him again. He wheels around with another swing, which she goes to duck when he suddenly switches arms and absolutely destroys her with a vicious clothesline. He immediately mounts her and begins to rain down progressively more vicious punches. Rydell rains them down with rage-fueled abandon until Sam begins to the five count. Sam gets to four and Rydell pauses for just long enough for Sam to stop the count. He resumes his barrage after a brief respite until Sam grabs his arm and pulls him from Kenzi.
Rydell is so taken off guard that Sam’s pull actually succeeds and he pulls Rydell to his feet and admonishes him for his behavior. Rydell replies with a phrase that is...extremely disrespectful to say the least (it sounded like he said something about Sam’s mother), which Sam understandably responds to in less than an enthusiastic manner. The two end up in a verbal altercation, which seems as if it’s going to escalate to serious physicality when Rydell pokes Sam in the chest and berates him, only for Sam to shove him away and tell him to keep his hands off of him, lest he be disqualified. Rydell reaches towards Sam again when he’s suddenly jerked from his feet and dropped onto the back of his head.
Kenzi gets to her feet, dashes across the ring and comes darting back across the ring. At the last second she throws both of her feet outward and slams them both into the side of Rydell’s head with a loud “crack” that knocks Rydell from the ring. She leaps to her feet and breaks into another run across the ring. At the other side she bounces off of the ropes, shoots back across the ring and leaps up onto the top rope, then leaps up, twists around and flies off of it in a display of jaw-dropping agility.
Unfortunately or Rydell, he’s on the receiving end as he looks up from picking himself up off of the floor just in time for her to flatten him with a moonsault. She bends over to pull him back to his feet but only gets about halfway up before he shoots forward and drives her back first into the ringside railing. He doesn’t give her any space as he pulls her out and then drives her back first into again, then picks her up and slams her back first into the ring apron. Instead of letting her fall to the floor, he pushes her into the ring and slides in after her. He walks over to the corner and turns so that he’s looking at her on an angle, then starts to stomp on the mat. When the fans stomp along with him he stomps, glares out at them and yells at them to stop. They respond with furious boos, which only get louder when he promptly drives his heel into Kenzi’s chin with a stiff superkick.
He drops to the mat on top of her and gets a two count from Sam before Kenzi kicks out. Rydell leaps to his feet and backs up into the corner, where he drops into a crouch. As soon as Kenzi gets up, he explodes out and drills her with the “Tip of the Spear”. As soon as she’s down, he gets in position for the “Virus of Life”, which he takes her down with a few moments later. Kenzi kicks out at two and a half and Rydell once again argues with Sam Green, insisting that his count is slow. Sam tells Rydell to focus on the match, which ends up with with Rydell getting angry and shoving him. Instead of disqualifying him on the spot, Sam Green shoves him back.
Right into Kenzi and the “Breakout Performance”.
Kenzi gets a two out of it and sets Rydell up for the “One Hit Wonder”. Rydell staggers to his feet and turns toward her. She leaps up for the “Breakout Performance”, but Rydell suddenly leaps up and drives his knees into her face with the “After Shock”. He leaps up and onto the turnbuckle, then promptly lands the “Leap of Faith”, but only gets a two.
So he yells at Sam...again.
This time Sam just ignores him and Rydell glares at him but turns and look at Kenzi, who is struggling to her feet. Rydell sets up for another “Virus of Life” and as she gets to her feet, he leaps up and grabs her, but she shoves him away. He stumbles, then turns around right into another “Breakout Performance”. Rydell stumbles back and is only held up by the ropes, which bounce him back towards Kenzi. Unfortunately him, the spring forward sends him right into the “One Hit Wonder”, followed by the “Walk of Fame”. Three seconds later Kenzi has racked up another win.
Winner: Kenzi Grey
Time: 9:12
On their way to the ring, Baal and Eden encounter Roxy Cotton.
All six participants make their entrances, with the other five all looking at Gabriel Baal, as Eden Morgan enters the ring and stands beside him. Brian Chartreuse admonishes Eden Morgan that she needs to exit the ring, but she refuses, scolding him for not realizing that she is Baal’s Co-Captain, which causes a collective eye roll from everyone else in the ring. Covert Jay takes Morgan’s side, reasoning that it’s a no disqualification match, so everyone can pretty much do what they want anyway. Plus, he’s in love with her, and wants to take her out on a date. For fizzy drinks. His words, not mine. Fizzy drinks… fucks sake. Dumb ninja.
Apparently Chartreuse shares Jay’s opinion, calling for the bell and getting this match underway. All six participants, as well as Eden, cast their glances at the others, nobody wanting to be the first to make a move. Vaughn decides to hell with it, she’s gonna get things going. Maybe her pigeons need to be feed or something, who knows. She takes off straight towards Necron, jumping up and connecting with a forearm. The big, half-dead sonofabitch barely moves, casting a crooked smile at her, as she jumps up to connect with another one. He catches her arm in his hand, effortlessly hoisting her up into the air and tossing her across the ring, where she lands with a heap. Scott, Lockheart and Payne all look at one another, as Baal and Morgan step through the ropes and hop to the floor outside.
Maggie is the next to try her luck running at Necron, but a big boot sends her hard to the mat, before Necron takes Payne and Zane down with a double clothesline. ‘Grim Harvester’ looking out at Eden now, as Gabriel doesn’t seem to be in too big of a hurry to enter the ring. Zane back up and lands a clubbing blow to the back of Necron, while Eden and Gabriel grab the legs of Angie and pull her out to the floor. Gabriel and Eden double-down on Vaughn, resulting in her being sent first into the steel guardrail, and then knees first into the ring steps. Back in the ring, Zane Scott and Maggie Lockheart are working together against Necron, and they’ve backed the big man into the corner. Payne standing in the opposite corner just watching, and doesn’t see Baal and Morgan sneak around. They pull her out same as they did Vaughn, Morgan connecting with a superkick, before Gabriel tosses her overhead with a t-bone suplex. Morgan and Baal both begin searching under the ring, each pulling out steel chairs, and then sliding into the ring.
Chartreuse has to option but to watch, as Gabriel Baal and Eden Morgan begin leveling everything that moves with those steel chairs, sending both Lockheart and Scott to the mat, before both turn their attention towards Necron. ‘The Grim Harvester’ absorbs the first blow from Eden, grabbing her by the hair and ripping her towards him, but Gabriel jabs him in the stomach with the edge of the chair, and then blasts him across the back, causing him to release Eden. Chop-block from Baal using the chair, sending Necron down to the mat. Eden making the cover, but Chartreuse refuses to count, telling her she isn’t actually in the match, much to her protests.
Vaughn back into the ring now, and she, Zane, and Maggie are all on their feet and have both Baal and Morgan in their sites. Baal turns around and eats a Beat Rush from Lockheart, and then Vaughn sends him to the mat with a spinning heel kick. Zane has connected with a straight jab to the left eye of Eden Morgan, she might need a steak to put on that thing later. Jay offered up a teabag. He said it was one of the Lipton ColdBrew varieties, but I think it was a bit of a double entendre. Anyway, Morgan connected with forearm shivers and then went to target the face and nose of Zane Scott with a superkick, but Zane moved and lifted her high into the air, slamming her into the mat with a spinebuster. He then applies an anklelock. Eden immediately begins slapping the mat, but is yelling at Chartreuse that she isn’t legally in the match. As if he’s forgotten or something.
A #Vaughnemous connects to the side of Baal’s face, but the force sends him under the bottom rope, and he falls out to the floor. Eden is able to free herself from Zane’s grasp, and she heads outside as well, limping over to check on Gabriel. Vaughn staring down at Baal, but then turns around, but is on the receiving end of a Lunar Eclipse from Magdalena Lockheart. Maggie turning to locate Zane Scott, but Zane is waiting on her. Murderous Intent from Zane to Maggie, and he eyes Mizore Payne, who is just now crawling back into the ring. Before he can target her, Necron spins him around, kicks him in the stomach, and then lifts him into the air in a vertical suplex position. Judgement Day to Zane Scott, and Necron slowly looks from Zane to Mizore and smiles. Eden Morgan back into the ring behind Necron, this time with a kendo stick, and she lays into Necron with it as hard as she can. Necron slightly winces, but turns and glares at her. Eden takes off running towards the ropes, with Necron behind her. Morgan jumping through the ropes and out to the floor, making her way up the ramp, with Necron close behind.
Payne making her way over to the downed Zane Scott, a smile on her face. Baal back in the ring and springboards off the middle rope, catching Payne as she turns around with The Freudian Slip. Demonsacre applied to Mizore Payne, and she taps out before either Vaughn, Scott, or Lockheart can break it up.
Winner: Gabriel Baal
Time: 14:46
Commentary hypes that this is the first ever singles match between these two, while Lieberjosch grumbles about money being thrown away and how this wouldn’t have happened on his Creative Director watch.
The crowd is at a fever pitch, and Vain and Jet slowly circle the ring, and they pause as each looks around the arena. They come together and lock up, each struggling for position until Jet twists Vain into a hammerlock, and Vain counters through it and breaks away, dropping to the mat and rolling out of the ring. Vain loudly complains that a match of this magnitude involving him belongs on Pay-Per-View, and Lieberjosch loudly agrees from the commentary table, and the two of them get into a prolonged discussion about it at ringside. Jet stops Peterson from applying the ten count, and slides out to go after Vain, but Vain is ready and catches him with a knee to the chest, clubbing him down before hurling him into a ringpost.
Back in the ring, Vain with a snap suplex, floats directly into a cover, Jet kicks out at two. Vain directly into a side headlock, attempting to keep Jet grounded. The Wild Card works his way back to his feet, delivers an elbow, but Vain releases the hold and knocks Jet back to the mat with clubbing blows. Vain sets up for the Cherry Popper, but Jet drops to the mat and cradles Vain into a pin for a two count.
Both men pop to their feet, but Vain stands right into a flurry of blows from Jet, he blocks as best he can and ducks under a spinning backfist before rolling to the outside again. Jet wastes no time vaulting over the ropes, splashing Vain at ringside, and Jet rolls directly to his feet. He grabs Vain and shoves him into the ring, climbing up onto the apron, and as Vain is getting to his feet Jet leaps onto the top rope and springboards off into a massive CHOK, and following the cover Vain is barely able to get his shoulder up in time.
Dueling chants now for both men as the crowd is hot for this first-ever match, as Jet tucks Vain’s arm and attempts to apply the Kimura Armbar, but Vain pulls his arm free before it can be locked in and rolls away. Vain sidesteps a Kao Loi and wraps Jet up in a waistlock before hitting a German Suplex. Vain sets up the Cherry Popper again, and this time he hits it, covers and Jet is able to get his shoulder up before the three.
Vain has Jet by the hair and begins to pull him back to his feet, but Jet leaps up and wraps his legs around Vain, yanking him to the ground with the Suicide Pull! Jet immediately mounts Vain and unleashes the Ground-and-Pound, a devastating flurry of punches and elbows, Vain covering up as best he can but he takes a pounding. Jet springboards off the ropes as Vain is getting back up, but Vain ducks under the Jetstreamer and rolls out by the ramp.
Vain waves towards the stage, and Glenn the Proxy runs down the ramp and rolls into the ring. Jet can’t believe this, and Vain waves him off and turns his back to the ring, walking up the ramp. Jet yells at Vain to come back to the ring, and Glenn attempts to club him from behind, and Jet turns and glares at him with annoyance. Jet shakes his head and delivers the Final Wound, and Glenn crumbles to the mat. Jet shakes his head again, and he puts Glenn into the Jethammer, and the proxy immediately screams that he submits as Owen Peterson calls for the bell.
Winner: Jet Somers
Time: 13:14
Jet is announced as the winner and presented with the championship, and he looks disappointed as he accepts it, but Vain is back in the ring and catches him by surprise with the Curtain Call! Vain thrusts a packet of paper at Peterson and points to a highlighted section, and Peterson nods and signals to officials at ringside that the match continues. Jet tries to get back to his feet, but Vain springboards into The Money Maker, and he covers for the three!
Winner: Alan Wallace
Time: 16:42
Vain celebrates with his championship as the commentary team now has the packet and reveals it is Vain’s contract, specifically the portion that allows him to substitute his proxy, with the highlighted portion revealing that the proxy cannot be involved with the fall in a championship match. Vinegar harps on how Jet got screwed as Vain continues his celebration and Covert Jay reminds us that the 2018 Outlast Draft is coming up on the UGWC Network!

Eden Morgan vs Le Bord de Dieu vs Konrad Raab vs Roxy Cotton
Three competitors are in the ring, waiting as Eden Morgan’s music plays for the second time. Hazel East shakes her head and motions for the bell, changing this match to a threeway instead. The announcers admonish Eden’s absence, but Raab, de Dieu, and Cotton are ready to go!
Le Bord runs at Raab, diving under his legs like she’s sliding into home plate, but rolls over onto her back and draws her legs up to kick the backs of his knees. Raab stumbles to his knees, but as Le Bord goes to spring back to her feet, Cotton catches her with a kick to the back of the head, flattening her.
Roxy leaps onto the ropes, and hits a split-legged moonsault onto Raab, going for the cover, but Raab kicks out. He kips up and grabs Roxy, whipping her to the ropes, but as he sets up for a back body drop, de Dieu leaps between them, leaping up for a dropkick on Roxy at the same time she’s locking Konrad into a neckbreaker.

Konrad locks it in, but here comes Cotton.

Backstage, Gabriel and Eden are still at it.
Dave Rydell vs Kenzi Grey
Rydell enters first to a mixture of boos and tepid silence. Most seem unsure of what to make of the latest return of one of UGWC’s most well-known veterans. He makes his entrance and eventually throws his shirt to ringside, then stares up the ramp and demands that Kenzi Gray enter. He doesn’t have long to wait as her music almost instantly cues up and she enters to a thunderous cheer. She acknowledges the fans, which just makes them cheer louder and then makes her way to the ring. Once she’s there, referee Sam Green checks both of them for foreign objects and then calls for the bell.
The second it rings, Rydell walks out to meet Kenzi in center ring, where he promptly trash talks her and then pie-faces her. She stumbles back a few steps and doesn’t get a chance to recover as Rydell charges her and flattens her into the corner. He grabs her by her hair and yanks her to the mat, which earns him a warning from Sam, who he glares it. He turns back to Kenzi and is promptly rolled up for a quick two before he angrily kicks out. Both professionals get to their feet at about the same time and Rydell immediately grabs Kenzi and whips her off of the ropes. As she gets back to him, he grabs her under her arms and throws her up into the air.
She twists in mid air and slams both feet into his face on her way down with a dropkick. The strike staggers Rydell while she lands and kips back up. She immediately charges at him, ducks under a clothesline attempt and kicks him in the back of the right knee. He spins and swings at her, but she ducks under it and kicks him again. He wheels around with another swing, which she goes to duck when he suddenly switches arms and absolutely destroys her with a vicious clothesline. He immediately mounts her and begins to rain down progressively more vicious punches. Rydell rains them down with rage-fueled abandon until Sam begins to the five count. Sam gets to four and Rydell pauses for just long enough for Sam to stop the count. He resumes his barrage after a brief respite until Sam grabs his arm and pulls him from Kenzi.
Rydell is so taken off guard that Sam’s pull actually succeeds and he pulls Rydell to his feet and admonishes him for his behavior. Rydell replies with a phrase that is...extremely disrespectful to say the least (it sounded like he said something about Sam’s mother), which Sam understandably responds to in less than an enthusiastic manner. The two end up in a verbal altercation, which seems as if it’s going to escalate to serious physicality when Rydell pokes Sam in the chest and berates him, only for Sam to shove him away and tell him to keep his hands off of him, lest he be disqualified. Rydell reaches towards Sam again when he’s suddenly jerked from his feet and dropped onto the back of his head.
Kenzi gets to her feet, dashes across the ring and comes darting back across the ring. At the last second she throws both of her feet outward and slams them both into the side of Rydell’s head with a loud “crack” that knocks Rydell from the ring. She leaps to her feet and breaks into another run across the ring. At the other side she bounces off of the ropes, shoots back across the ring and leaps up onto the top rope, then leaps up, twists around and flies off of it in a display of jaw-dropping agility.
Unfortunately or Rydell, he’s on the receiving end as he looks up from picking himself up off of the floor just in time for her to flatten him with a moonsault. She bends over to pull him back to his feet but only gets about halfway up before he shoots forward and drives her back first into the ringside railing. He doesn’t give her any space as he pulls her out and then drives her back first into again, then picks her up and slams her back first into the ring apron. Instead of letting her fall to the floor, he pushes her into the ring and slides in after her. He walks over to the corner and turns so that he’s looking at her on an angle, then starts to stomp on the mat. When the fans stomp along with him he stomps, glares out at them and yells at them to stop. They respond with furious boos, which only get louder when he promptly drives his heel into Kenzi’s chin with a stiff superkick.
He drops to the mat on top of her and gets a two count from Sam before Kenzi kicks out. Rydell leaps to his feet and backs up into the corner, where he drops into a crouch. As soon as Kenzi gets up, he explodes out and drills her with the “Tip of the Spear”. As soon as she’s down, he gets in position for the “Virus of Life”, which he takes her down with a few moments later. Kenzi kicks out at two and a half and Rydell once again argues with Sam Green, insisting that his count is slow. Sam tells Rydell to focus on the match, which ends up with with Rydell getting angry and shoving him. Instead of disqualifying him on the spot, Sam Green shoves him back.
Right into Kenzi and the “Breakout Performance”.
Kenzi gets a two out of it and sets Rydell up for the “One Hit Wonder”. Rydell staggers to his feet and turns toward her. She leaps up for the “Breakout Performance”, but Rydell suddenly leaps up and drives his knees into her face with the “After Shock”. He leaps up and onto the turnbuckle, then promptly lands the “Leap of Faith”, but only gets a two.
So he yells at Sam...again.
This time Sam just ignores him and Rydell glares at him but turns and look at Kenzi, who is struggling to her feet. Rydell sets up for another “Virus of Life” and as she gets to her feet, he leaps up and grabs her, but she shoves him away. He stumbles, then turns around right into another “Breakout Performance”. Rydell stumbles back and is only held up by the ropes, which bounce him back towards Kenzi. Unfortunately him, the spring forward sends him right into the “One Hit Wonder”, followed by the “Walk of Fame”. Three seconds later Kenzi has racked up another win.
Winner: Kenzi Grey

On their way to the ring, Baal and Eden encounter Roxy Cotton.
Captain Match
Angelica Vaughn vs Gabriel Baal vs Maggie Lockheart vs Mizore Payne vs Necron vs Zane Scott
Angelica Vaughn vs Gabriel Baal vs Maggie Lockheart vs Mizore Payne vs Necron vs Zane Scott
All six participants make their entrances, with the other five all looking at Gabriel Baal, as Eden Morgan enters the ring and stands beside him. Brian Chartreuse admonishes Eden Morgan that she needs to exit the ring, but she refuses, scolding him for not realizing that she is Baal’s Co-Captain, which causes a collective eye roll from everyone else in the ring. Covert Jay takes Morgan’s side, reasoning that it’s a no disqualification match, so everyone can pretty much do what they want anyway. Plus, he’s in love with her, and wants to take her out on a date. For fizzy drinks. His words, not mine. Fizzy drinks… fucks sake. Dumb ninja.
Apparently Chartreuse shares Jay’s opinion, calling for the bell and getting this match underway. All six participants, as well as Eden, cast their glances at the others, nobody wanting to be the first to make a move. Vaughn decides to hell with it, she’s gonna get things going. Maybe her pigeons need to be feed or something, who knows. She takes off straight towards Necron, jumping up and connecting with a forearm. The big, half-dead sonofabitch barely moves, casting a crooked smile at her, as she jumps up to connect with another one. He catches her arm in his hand, effortlessly hoisting her up into the air and tossing her across the ring, where she lands with a heap. Scott, Lockheart and Payne all look at one another, as Baal and Morgan step through the ropes and hop to the floor outside.
Maggie is the next to try her luck running at Necron, but a big boot sends her hard to the mat, before Necron takes Payne and Zane down with a double clothesline. ‘Grim Harvester’ looking out at Eden now, as Gabriel doesn’t seem to be in too big of a hurry to enter the ring. Zane back up and lands a clubbing blow to the back of Necron, while Eden and Gabriel grab the legs of Angie and pull her out to the floor. Gabriel and Eden double-down on Vaughn, resulting in her being sent first into the steel guardrail, and then knees first into the ring steps. Back in the ring, Zane Scott and Maggie Lockheart are working together against Necron, and they’ve backed the big man into the corner. Payne standing in the opposite corner just watching, and doesn’t see Baal and Morgan sneak around. They pull her out same as they did Vaughn, Morgan connecting with a superkick, before Gabriel tosses her overhead with a t-bone suplex. Morgan and Baal both begin searching under the ring, each pulling out steel chairs, and then sliding into the ring.
Chartreuse has to option but to watch, as Gabriel Baal and Eden Morgan begin leveling everything that moves with those steel chairs, sending both Lockheart and Scott to the mat, before both turn their attention towards Necron. ‘The Grim Harvester’ absorbs the first blow from Eden, grabbing her by the hair and ripping her towards him, but Gabriel jabs him in the stomach with the edge of the chair, and then blasts him across the back, causing him to release Eden. Chop-block from Baal using the chair, sending Necron down to the mat. Eden making the cover, but Chartreuse refuses to count, telling her she isn’t actually in the match, much to her protests.
Vaughn back into the ring now, and she, Zane, and Maggie are all on their feet and have both Baal and Morgan in their sites. Baal turns around and eats a Beat Rush from Lockheart, and then Vaughn sends him to the mat with a spinning heel kick. Zane has connected with a straight jab to the left eye of Eden Morgan, she might need a steak to put on that thing later. Jay offered up a teabag. He said it was one of the Lipton ColdBrew varieties, but I think it was a bit of a double entendre. Anyway, Morgan connected with forearm shivers and then went to target the face and nose of Zane Scott with a superkick, but Zane moved and lifted her high into the air, slamming her into the mat with a spinebuster. He then applies an anklelock. Eden immediately begins slapping the mat, but is yelling at Chartreuse that she isn’t legally in the match. As if he’s forgotten or something.
A #Vaughnemous connects to the side of Baal’s face, but the force sends him under the bottom rope, and he falls out to the floor. Eden is able to free herself from Zane’s grasp, and she heads outside as well, limping over to check on Gabriel. Vaughn staring down at Baal, but then turns around, but is on the receiving end of a Lunar Eclipse from Magdalena Lockheart. Maggie turning to locate Zane Scott, but Zane is waiting on her. Murderous Intent from Zane to Maggie, and he eyes Mizore Payne, who is just now crawling back into the ring. Before he can target her, Necron spins him around, kicks him in the stomach, and then lifts him into the air in a vertical suplex position. Judgement Day to Zane Scott, and Necron slowly looks from Zane to Mizore and smiles. Eden Morgan back into the ring behind Necron, this time with a kendo stick, and she lays into Necron with it as hard as she can. Necron slightly winces, but turns and glares at her. Eden takes off running towards the ropes, with Necron behind her. Morgan jumping through the ropes and out to the floor, making her way up the ramp, with Necron close behind.
Payne making her way over to the downed Zane Scott, a smile on her face. Baal back in the ring and springboards off the middle rope, catching Payne as she turns around with The Freudian Slip. Demonsacre applied to Mizore Payne, and she taps out before either Vaughn, Scott, or Lockheart can break it up.
Winner: Gabriel Baal

Cross-Hemisphere Championship
Alan Wallace vs Jet Somers
Alan Wallace vs Jet Somers
Commentary hypes that this is the first ever singles match between these two, while Lieberjosch grumbles about money being thrown away and how this wouldn’t have happened on his Creative Director watch.
The crowd is at a fever pitch, and Vain and Jet slowly circle the ring, and they pause as each looks around the arena. They come together and lock up, each struggling for position until Jet twists Vain into a hammerlock, and Vain counters through it and breaks away, dropping to the mat and rolling out of the ring. Vain loudly complains that a match of this magnitude involving him belongs on Pay-Per-View, and Lieberjosch loudly agrees from the commentary table, and the two of them get into a prolonged discussion about it at ringside. Jet stops Peterson from applying the ten count, and slides out to go after Vain, but Vain is ready and catches him with a knee to the chest, clubbing him down before hurling him into a ringpost.
Back in the ring, Vain with a snap suplex, floats directly into a cover, Jet kicks out at two. Vain directly into a side headlock, attempting to keep Jet grounded. The Wild Card works his way back to his feet, delivers an elbow, but Vain releases the hold and knocks Jet back to the mat with clubbing blows. Vain sets up for the Cherry Popper, but Jet drops to the mat and cradles Vain into a pin for a two count.
Both men pop to their feet, but Vain stands right into a flurry of blows from Jet, he blocks as best he can and ducks under a spinning backfist before rolling to the outside again. Jet wastes no time vaulting over the ropes, splashing Vain at ringside, and Jet rolls directly to his feet. He grabs Vain and shoves him into the ring, climbing up onto the apron, and as Vain is getting to his feet Jet leaps onto the top rope and springboards off into a massive CHOK, and following the cover Vain is barely able to get his shoulder up in time.
Dueling chants now for both men as the crowd is hot for this first-ever match, as Jet tucks Vain’s arm and attempts to apply the Kimura Armbar, but Vain pulls his arm free before it can be locked in and rolls away. Vain sidesteps a Kao Loi and wraps Jet up in a waistlock before hitting a German Suplex. Vain sets up the Cherry Popper again, and this time he hits it, covers and Jet is able to get his shoulder up before the three.
Vain has Jet by the hair and begins to pull him back to his feet, but Jet leaps up and wraps his legs around Vain, yanking him to the ground with the Suicide Pull! Jet immediately mounts Vain and unleashes the Ground-and-Pound, a devastating flurry of punches and elbows, Vain covering up as best he can but he takes a pounding. Jet springboards off the ropes as Vain is getting back up, but Vain ducks under the Jetstreamer and rolls out by the ramp.
Vain waves towards the stage, and Glenn the Proxy runs down the ramp and rolls into the ring. Jet can’t believe this, and Vain waves him off and turns his back to the ring, walking up the ramp. Jet yells at Vain to come back to the ring, and Glenn attempts to club him from behind, and Jet turns and glares at him with annoyance. Jet shakes his head and delivers the Final Wound, and Glenn crumbles to the mat. Jet shakes his head again, and he puts Glenn into the Jethammer, and the proxy immediately screams that he submits as Owen Peterson calls for the bell.
Winner: Jet Somers
Time: 13:14
Jet is announced as the winner and presented with the championship, and he looks disappointed as he accepts it, but Vain is back in the ring and catches him by surprise with the Curtain Call! Vain thrusts a packet of paper at Peterson and points to a highlighted section, and Peterson nods and signals to officials at ringside that the match continues. Jet tries to get back to his feet, but Vain springboards into The Money Maker, and he covers for the three!
Winner: Alan Wallace
Time: 16:42
Vain celebrates with his championship as the commentary team now has the packet and reveals it is Vain’s contract, specifically the portion that allows him to substitute his proxy, with the highlighted portion revealing that the proxy cannot be involved with the fall in a championship match. Vinegar harps on how Jet got screwed as Vain continues his celebration and Covert Jay reminds us that the 2018 Outlast Draft is coming up on the UGWC Network!
