It's the final Synergy of 2019! Your Synergy coverage begins, now…
- Vinegar, Hans, and Jay give us the usual intro that transitions into childish bickering. [/CopyPaste]
The Dark Destroyer falls off the steps as he is attempting to enter the ring and smacks his head on the barricade before falling into the crowd. Hazel East isn’t quite sure what to do with this, but Hastings takes the opportunity to get a microphone and rant about how he is standing up for Kenzi since she can’t properly stand up for herself and declares himself the righteous path of the misled or something along those lines. I was distracted a bit by the sight of the Dark Destroyer accidentally crowd surfing and missed a bit.
The crowd passes the Destroyer back to ringside, somewhat unceremoniously dumping him on his head, as the Destroyer swears vengeance on the infidel. Hastings drops out to ringside and drags him up to shove him into the ring, likely realizing this is the only chance of the match starting tonight. DD gets to his feet, threatening Hastings with some lunacy of some kind, and Hastings goes for his patented “The Super Kick” eye poke, only for the Dark Destroyer to attempt an elaborate flip to evade it and wind up kicking himself in his own face. Flexibility is EVIL!
Hastings positions the Destroyer in a double underhook, and it appears the Dark Destroyer catches him by surprise by actually yanking his arms loose, but rather than go for the traditional backdrop in this situation, the Destroyer spits in the face of commonplace tactics and instead drops directly to the ground, in the process driving his own face into the mat. Hastings stares at him for a moment and audibly comments to Hazel East that this isn’t even fun before putting a foot on the Destroyer for the cover. The Destroyer shockingly gets his shoulder up at two, I think because he sneezed and his body convulsed. It’s hard to be sure with the mask.
The Dark Destroyer stumbles to his feet and swings wildly at Hastings, who casually sidesteps it and lifts him into a full nelson slam. Hastings looks like he has had enough, and he lifts the Destroyer for Destiny’s Call, but Roxy Cotton is at ringside and reaches under the bottom rope, tripping Hastings up, and he falls on his back with the Destroyer landing on top of him! The referee hasn’t noticed Roxy, and she holds Donovan’s feet to prevent him from kicking out as Hazel East counts the three!
Winner: The Dark Destroyer
Time: 6:14
Roxy laughs at ringside as Hastings loses his mind in the ring. He glares at Roxy, but she is already backing up the ramp, waving to him as Hastings snaps and begins stomping away on the Destroyer. Hastings rips him off the mat, this time successfully lifting him into Destiny’s Call, as Roxy turns her back on his attempt to send a message and appears pleased with herself as she heads backstage.
All parties make their entrances, with Vain starting things off against Konrad, as the two Travii argue over which one is Alpha and which one is Beta. Wallace starts off well, keeping Raab off balance with his mat wrestling abilities. Wallace ultimately rolls through a sunset flip from Raab and applies a sharpshooter, but mein Konrad manages to claw his way to the ropes to break the hold.
Raab fights his way back, connecting with a Lou Thesz press allowing him to pummel the face of ‘The Clit Whisperer’, with Vain doing his best to cover up. Konrad then allows Vain to get to his feet, only to show off his standup game, peppering Wallace with stiff jabs and precision crosses. A superkick followed by The Iceinator gets a two-count, before Travis Roberts runs in and delivers a kick to the back of Konrad’s head, breaking the count. Raab yells at Roberts to play by the rules, else ‘Black Ice’ will enjoy showing him his own blood, and then he tags out to Seb.
Seb pulls Wallace to his feet and sends him into the corner, following closely and connecting with a running boot right to the face. One Helluva Kick, I’ll tells ya. Wallace stumbles out of the corner and walks into a high knee, with Seb maneuvering behind of Alan now and grasping him around the waist. He attempts a release belly-to-back suplex, but Wallace manages to land on his feet. Seb quickly back to his feet as well, but Alan is waiting on him with a desperation Curtain Call, before slowly crawling towards his corner and tagging in Roberts.
Roberts sends the charging Sebastian to the mat with a drop toe hold and then connects with a snap leg drop to the back of Bastian’s head. A full nelson slam gets a one-count, and then Roberts goes high risk with a flying elbow from the top rope that misses its mark when Bryce moves out of the way. Seb hits the former World Champ with a sling blade, and then drops him on his head with a brainbuster. Pulling Roberts back to his feet, Seb lifts Travis into the air and props him on the top turnbuckle. Markham Missile time, with Roberts bouncing up off the mat after the spider suplex portion of the move, but unknowingly walking right into the moonsault diving headbutt that completes the ensemble. Sebastian makes the cover, but the count is broken up as Wallace comes flying off the top rope and connects with a frog splash, both Seb and Trav bearing the brunt of that move.
Sloane tags in and walks into a TRLAOCIAFSOS that gets a near-fall, but just as he is setting up for a White Out, Travis Pierce reaches out and tags himself into the match. He starts things off with a snap suplex, and then executes a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker that bends Sloane’s body in a way it isn’t supposed to bend. He hits a Signing Off, but Sloane shows wits beyond her years in regards to knowing where she is, and drapes her foot over the bottom rope at two.
Pierce now arguing with Sam Green about how slow the count was, and then begins arguing with Wallace and Roberts when they yell at him to focus. He probably wishes he would have listened after Sloane connects with a reverse frankensteiner, and even more so when she executes a standing shooting star press. She hooks the legs, but Wallace is in and drags her off of Pierce at two-and-a-half, before stepping back out onto the apron and nodding at the Sky Queen..
Sloane hits a Seeing Stars, and then calls for a Pipe Dream. She bounces off the ropes, not noticing that Konrad Raab has tapped her on the back, tagging himself into the match. She takes off towards the opposite ropes, allowing Pierce to make his way back to his feet, but Roberts pulls the top rope down, and Sloane tumbles out of the ring, landing hard on the floor outside. Wallace spins Roberts around towards him asking him what he thinks he’s doing, and neither man see Sebastian barrelling across the ring until it’s too late. Seb dives through the ropes and connects with a double spear, and all three men tumble to the floor.
Wallace is simultaneously with Seb, the two men first trading insults, and then trading fists. Sloane attempts to get in between the two of them, but Roberts cuts her off, and now both teams are going at it out on the floor, as security rushes out from the back to separate them. Back in the ring Pierce has gotten to his feet and has been watching things unfold, and when he finally turns around, Konrad is there waiting on him with an Ice Storm that gets the three-count.
Winner: Konrad Raab, Sebastian Everett-Bryce III, and Sloane Taylor
Time: 8:15
The teams of Roberts and Wallace and Sloane and Seb are each being held back by a plethora of security, all yelling back and forth at one another, as Konrad celebrates in the center of the ring.
Hide enters first with Johnny Bonecrusher, the Canadian legend and current de facto Number One Contender to the UGWC World Championship in tow. Hide storms into the ring with his chain flying before Johnny orders him back and makes a World Championship gesture with his hands before he orders his personal killing machine to his corner. The five-time Cross Hemisphere Champion, Dave Rydell comes out next. He walks down to the ring with Hank a few steps behind him. The two enter and Hank walks to Rydell’s corner as Rydell throws a quick glare at his opponent before he walks to the front of the ring and glares out into the crowd before he goes back to his corner. Referee Brian Chartreuse checks both men and calls for the bell.
The two men charge at each other and commence to throwing bombs as they pummel each other around the ring. Rydell finally gets the advantage when he dodges a wild swing from Hide and doubles him over with a knee to the gut, followed by a swinging neckbreaker. He proceeds to stomp the hell out of Hide before he whips him into the corner and follows him in with a nasty clothesline. He throws Hide to the mat by the back of his head and jumps up onto the second rope. He comes off and stomps Hide on the back of his knee, then slides from the ring and crotches Hide into the ringpost by his legs. Johnny Bonecrusher comes around the ring yelling at him, but Rydell flips him off and proceeds to wrap Hide in a weird looking leg hold around the post that looks like it could break both of his knees.
Chartreuse orders Rydell to break the hold, which he finally does when Chartreuse reaches four in his count. He slides back into the ring and when Hide struggles to his feet, Rydell dropkicks him in the right knee, then bounces off of the ropes and connects with another dropkick to his face when the Japanese madman falls to his knees. Rydell goes for the pin, but Hide forcefully kicks out at two. He stands up and insists that it was a three, but Chartreuse tells him it was only a two. He pulls Hide up and whips him into the ropes, but Hide stumbles on his right knee and then grabs the top rope. Rydell charges at him, but Hide bends over and upends him with a backdrop as Johnny pulls the top rope down. Rydell crashes back first onto the floor as Hide punches the pain out of his knee and steps out to the floor.
From that point forward it becomes “Hide’s Suplex Slamboree”. He only intermittently interrupted by him sliding back into and out of the ring to break Chartreuse’s count. He obliterates Rydell with every suplex he knows starting with a gutwrench suplex and concluding it with a release German suplex. By the time he’s done, Rydell is glassy eyed. He pulls Rydel up and throws him back into the ring between the second and third ropes, then staggers a bit on the knee Rydell had targeted. He punches his knee a couple of times as Johnny barks at him from a few feet away. Hide finally slides back in and lays out the almost to his feet Rydell with a gutwrench powerbomb. Instead of going for the pin, he drives Rydell back and down into the corner, then blitzes to the opposite corner, turns, charges and introduces Rydell to the bottom of his boot with a vicious facewash. He pulls Rydell out of the corner by his feet and goes for the pin, but only gets a two before Rydell kicks out.
Hide pulls Rydell up and goes for another suplex, but Rydell blocks it, kicks Hide in the knee and lays him out with “The Virus of Life”. Hide kicks out at two point nine, which draws a loud sigh of relief from Johnny and an angry snarl from Rydell, who even more aggressively insists that it was a three count. Chartreuse insists that it was an “almost” three, but that Hide did in fact kick out. Rydell continues to argue with him as Hide rolls from the ring to the floor. Johnny comes back around and shoves Hide’s chain into his hands. Rydell finally stops arguing with Chartreuse and storms over to the ropes.
He bends over and goes to pull Hide up by his hair, but Hide drives the chain into the top of his head. Rydell stumbles back and collapses in the ring as Johnny yanks the chain from Hide’s hands and throws it under the ring. He orders Hide back into the ring as Hank bellows at Chartreuse from the outside that Hide cheated.
Hide slides back into the ring, peels Rydell off of the mat and ends his night with a Fisherman’s Buster, a Death Valley Driver and then finally and mercifully (if you can call it that), “The Devil”.
Winner: Hide Yamazaki
Time: 14:24
It’s an all #CoolKids Main Event as Team Kickass/ The 5’2” Mafia takes on the team of Angelica Vaughn and Roxy Cotton. All is not well in Cool Kids land as the current World Champion, Sarah Lacklan, wants to cripple her recently revealed sister Angelica Vaughn for not telling her. Angelica has tried her hardest to avoid the fight she knows she’s going to have to have, but finally accepted the inevitable and has that to look forward to after her fight with former Co-Operative Partner Dave Rydell is finished at “Horizons”. As if that isn’t enough, matters have become personal between Sarah Lacklan and the former World Champion she took it from, Roxy Cotton over both the World Championship and her belief that Roxy almost crippled her wife, Kenzi Gray. If THAT wasn’t enough, the World Champion has to face Canadian wrestling legend Johnny Bonecrusher at Horizons.
It truly boggles the mind how much drama one person can be involved in.
In addition to that, Roxy has recently run afoul of Kenzi’s Co-Operative partner in the Lords of Cool, Donovan Hastings. They’re also destined to clash at Horizons. Lest one think that Kenzi is out of the woods free of her own problems, the new Chaos Champion has run afoul of former UGWC World Champion and Co-Operative icon Travis Pierce. Pierce has been on a long championship drought and claiming the Chaos Championship would end his two-thousand and nineteen on a tremendous high note. He’ll get that chance at Horizons against a Kenzi Gray who just returned from some kind of foreign mystery therapy/miracle/something on her badly injured knee. We’ll find out tonight how strong that knee is and you can bet that Pierce will be targeting it.
I’m tired just from tracking all of the conflicts at play in this one match.
Anyway, the 5’2” Mafia makes their way to the ring and they’re quick to proudly show their hardware to everyone. They do it more once they get to the ring and then wait for their opponents to enter. Vaughn and Roxy enter as a team as well and walk to the ring with Angie interacting with her rabidly adoring fans while Roxy keeps her eyes locked on Sarah. As soon as the two ladies get in the ring, the champion half of the #CoolKids do what else but show their championships to their opponents. Sarah seems to take greater pleasure in it as she practically presses it into the faces of both Angelica and Roxy before Kenzi finally pulls her back to their corner.
We start with Roxy and Kenzi. The two members of the Clear Connection meet in center ring and shake hands, which seems to enflame Sarah as she has some rather unkind words for Roxy from the apron. Roxy throws reciprocal shade and then she and Kenzi immediately lock up. The two show how well they know each other both as people and as wrestlers as they go back and forth, trading attempted moves and counters with neither gaining any advantage. This draws appreciative applause and cheers from both the fans and from Angelica, while Sarah is split between cheering on her wife and deriding both Roxy and Angelica.
Trash talkers gonna trash talk.
The two finally stop and look at each other as Sarah screams for the tag from her corner. Kenzi finally tags her in and she enters like a wild man as she charges at Roxy with a barrage of flying fists. She backs Roxy up into the far corner and continues to barrage her with stomps. She points at Angelica and bellows something that is quite frankly rather unkind and not deserving of being repeated. Angelica looks genuinely hurt by the remark, which appears to greatly please the World Champion in spite of the rebuke that it draws from her wife.
It also gives Roxy the opening she needs. She grabs Sarah and pulls her face first into the turnbuckle, then slides out from under her fellow #CoolKid. She charges across the ring, then back before she delivers a nasty looking meteora to her back. She pulls the World Champion out and goes for the Double D-DT, but Sarah somehow transitions it into a roll up for a quick two. Roxy pops out and goes to resume her attack, but Sarah leaps to her corner and tags Kenzi in before she turns and mocks Roxy for escaping from her. Kenzi steps in as Roxy walks over and talks to Angelica, then tags her in to a massive cheer.
Angelica steps in and she can Kenzi lock up after a respectful mutual nod. Sarah continues doing Sarah things from her corner as Roxy yells back at her from hers. Kenzi and Angelica go at it with great energy, but also great mutual. Kenzi relies on her speed while Angelica relies on her substantial height and reach advantage. The two go back and forth for a few minutes with neither gaining a clear advantage. This changes when Angelica counters a hurricanrana attempt from Kenzi into a powerbomb and a series of “Yes” kicks. She lines Kenzi up for “Vaughnemous”, but is cut off from a chop block from Sarah before Sarah is knocked form the ring by a charging Roxy.
The match seems to momentarily pause until Glenn Burke finally gets it back under control again. Kenzi tries to go back onto the attack but is suddenly tagged on the back by Sarah. She looks at her wife in momentary shock before she steps out. Sarah enters the ring like an angry bull, spitting invective at Angelica the entire time. For her part, Angelica looks entirely torn by the situation as she pleads with Sarah that she just wants this to be a normal match between friends. Sarah angrily rejects this and breaks into a charge at her possible former friend and literal sister.
She gets to within two steps from the ring when she’s suddenly demolished by Hide and his chain. From there things go completely to hell as the other three CoolKids pile onto Hide and try to drive him away from Sarah as Referee Glenn Burke throws the match out. This strategy appears to work as they dispatch the Japanese madman. That is until Travis Pierce leaps over the railing, slides into the ring and yanks Kenzi off of the pile before demolishing her with “Signing Off”. Roxy goes to defend her, but walks right into a facebreaker DDT from Donovan Hastings before he locks her into the “Hands of Fate”.
This leaves Angelica and Sarah as the remaining two with Angelica pulling her sister to her feet before Sarah angrily shoves her away. It looks like they’re going to go at it when Angelica is suddenly laid out with a sudden “Virus of Life” from Dave Rydell. Sarah goes to act, although it’s unclear if she’s going to attack Rydell or Angelica. We never get the chance to find out as she’s laid out by Hide with “The Devil”. He yanks her up and shoves her at Johnny, who immediately locks her into “The Jerk Lock”.
We go off of the air with all four #CoolKids at the mercy of their challengers. How will this effect the future? Tune into “Horizons” to find out!
Winners: No Contest

The Dark Destroyer v Donovan Hastings
The Dark Destroyer falls off the steps as he is attempting to enter the ring and smacks his head on the barricade before falling into the crowd. Hazel East isn’t quite sure what to do with this, but Hastings takes the opportunity to get a microphone and rant about how he is standing up for Kenzi since she can’t properly stand up for herself and declares himself the righteous path of the misled or something along those lines. I was distracted a bit by the sight of the Dark Destroyer accidentally crowd surfing and missed a bit.
The crowd passes the Destroyer back to ringside, somewhat unceremoniously dumping him on his head, as the Destroyer swears vengeance on the infidel. Hastings drops out to ringside and drags him up to shove him into the ring, likely realizing this is the only chance of the match starting tonight. DD gets to his feet, threatening Hastings with some lunacy of some kind, and Hastings goes for his patented “The Super Kick” eye poke, only for the Dark Destroyer to attempt an elaborate flip to evade it and wind up kicking himself in his own face. Flexibility is EVIL!
Hastings positions the Destroyer in a double underhook, and it appears the Dark Destroyer catches him by surprise by actually yanking his arms loose, but rather than go for the traditional backdrop in this situation, the Destroyer spits in the face of commonplace tactics and instead drops directly to the ground, in the process driving his own face into the mat. Hastings stares at him for a moment and audibly comments to Hazel East that this isn’t even fun before putting a foot on the Destroyer for the cover. The Destroyer shockingly gets his shoulder up at two, I think because he sneezed and his body convulsed. It’s hard to be sure with the mask.
The Dark Destroyer stumbles to his feet and swings wildly at Hastings, who casually sidesteps it and lifts him into a full nelson slam. Hastings looks like he has had enough, and he lifts the Destroyer for Destiny’s Call, but Roxy Cotton is at ringside and reaches under the bottom rope, tripping Hastings up, and he falls on his back with the Destroyer landing on top of him!

Alan Wallace, Travis Roberts and Travis Pierce v Konrad Raab, Sebastian Everett-Bryce III and Sloane Taylor
All parties make their entrances, with Vain starting things off against Konrad, as the two Travii argue over which one is Alpha and which one is Beta. Wallace starts off well, keeping Raab off balance with his mat wrestling abilities. Wallace ultimately rolls through a sunset flip from Raab and applies a sharpshooter, but mein Konrad manages to claw his way to the ropes to break the hold.

Sebastian makes the cover, but the count is broken up as Wallace comes flying off the top rope and connects with a frog splash, both Seb and Trav bearing the brunt of that move.
Sloane tags in and walks into a TRLAOCIAFSOS that gets a near-fall, but just as he is setting up for a White Out, Travis Pierce reaches out and tags himself into the match. He starts things off with a snap suplex, and then executes a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker that bends Sloane’s body in a way it isn’t supposed to bend.

Pierce now arguing with Sam Green about how slow the count was, and then begins arguing with Wallace and Roberts when they yell at him to focus.

Angelica Vaughn and Roxy Cotton v Kenzi Gray and Sarah Gray-Lacklan
It’s an all #CoolKids Main Event as Team Kickass/ The 5’2” Mafia takes on the team of Angelica Vaughn and Roxy Cotton.

Angelica looks genuinely hurt by the remark, which appears to greatly please the World Champion in spite of the rebuke that it draws from her wife.
It also gives Roxy the opening she needs. She grabs Sarah and pulls her face first into the turnbuckle, then slides out from under her fellow #CoolKid. She charges across the ring, then back before she delivers a nasty looking meteora to her back. She pulls the World Champion out and goes for the Double D-DT, but Sarah somehow transitions it into a roll up for a quick two. Roxy pops out and goes to resume her attack, but Sarah leaps to her corner and tags Kenzi in before she turns and mocks Roxy for escaping from her. Kenzi steps in as Roxy walks over and talks to Angelica, then tags her in to a massive cheer.
Angelica steps in and she can Kenzi lock up after a respectful mutual nod. Sarah continues doing Sarah things from her corner as Roxy yells back at her from hers. Kenzi and Angelica go at it with great energy, but also great mutual. Kenzi relies on her speed while Angelica relies on her substantial height and reach advantage. The two go back and forth for a few minutes with neither gaining a clear advantage. This changes when Angelica counters a hurricanrana attempt from Kenzi into a powerbomb and a series of “Yes” kicks. She lines Kenzi up for “Vaughnemous”, but is cut off from a chop block from Sarah before Sarah is knocked form the ring by a charging Roxy.
The match seems to momentarily pause until Glenn Burke finally gets it back under control again. Kenzi tries to go back onto the attack but is suddenly tagged on the back by Sarah. She looks at her wife in momentary shock before she steps out. Sarah enters the ring like an angry bull, spitting invective at Angelica the entire time. For her part, Angelica looks entirely torn by the situation as she pleads with Sarah that she just wants this to be a normal match between friends. Sarah angrily rejects this and breaks into a charge at her possible former friend and literal sister.
She gets to within two steps from the ring when she’s suddenly demolished by Hide and his chain. From there things go completely to hell as the other three CoolKids pile onto Hide and try to drive him away from Sarah as Referee Glenn Burke throws the match out. This strategy appears to work as they dispatch the Japanese madman. That is until Travis Pierce leaps over the railing, slides into the ring and yanks Kenzi off of the pile before demolishing her with “Signing Off”. Roxy goes to defend her, but walks right into a facebreaker DDT from Donovan Hastings before he locks her into the “Hands of Fate”.
This leaves Angelica and Sarah as the remaining two with Angelica pulling her sister to her feet before Sarah angrily shoves her away. It looks like they’re going to go at it when Angelica is suddenly laid out with a sudden “Virus of Life” from Dave Rydell. Sarah goes to act, although it’s unclear if she’s going to attack Rydell or Angelica. We never get the chance to find out as she’s laid out by Hide with “The Devil”. He yanks her up and shoves her at Johnny, who immediately locks her into “The Jerk Lock”.
We go off of the air with all four #CoolKids at the mercy of their challengers. How will this effect the future? Tune into “Horizons” to find out!
