- Vinegar, Hans, and Jay give us the usual intro that transitions into childish bickering. [/CopyPaste]
The Dark Destroyer staggers out from backstage after apparently getting stuck in the curtain. He dislodges himself from it and promptly walks face first into the wall. He barely avoids walking off of the side of the stage, but then trips over his cape and rolls all of the way down the ramp. He pulls himself to his feet and somehow still manages to trip and launch himself under the ring. Lucy and Referee Alice Nasmith watch this with barely restrained amusement before the Dark Destroyer suddenly reappears and manages to make it to the rinsteps without hurting himself. This ends when he takes one step out onto the apron, trips over his own feet and faceplants into it. Instead of standing up and walking into the ring, he rolls in and pulls himself up with the ropes. He staggers a bit, but tells Nasmith that he can wrestle (his words, not ours). She rings the bell, he walks right into the “Nightmare Sleeper" as Lucy forces him to tap out!
Winner: Lucy Wylde by Submission
Time: 0:20
Double elbow tie-up, both men grappling around the ring and into the ropes. Cervantes slips out and whips Deimos off the ropes across the ring. Cervantes catches Deimos with a knee to the chest, and Deimos rolls over it. Cervantes grabs Deimos to pull him up, but Deimos grabs the arm and wrenches it into a hammerlock. Cervantes reverses and goes for a suplex, but Deimos floats right out of it. Cervantes turns around into a drop toe hold from Deimos, but Cervantes rolls right away and kips up to his feet.
They lock up again, and Cervantes whips Deimos off the ropes into a spinning backfist, then goes for a cover, but Deimos reaches with his legs and pulls Cervantes into a body scissors, attempting to apply a submission hold, but Cervantes slips out. They both try to get right up, but Deimos grabs Cervantes and takes him over with a fireman’s carry. Cervantes twists his body as he lands and pulls Deimos into a school boy, one, two, Deimos kicks out. They get up and Cervantes whips Deimos into the ropes, then goes for a backdrop, but Deimos counters with a facebuster. Cervantes staggers and Deimos goes for a clothesline, but Cervantes sidesteps it, then grabs Deimos and drops him with a Russian leg sweep, covers and gets a two count.
Both men are up and Deimos whips Cervantes into the ropes, and Cervantes comes back with a spinning back kick, but Deimos sidesteps it and hits a belly to back suplex. Deimos checks the clock, then pulls Cervantes up and goes to whip Cervantes into the ropes, but Cervantes springs off the ropes into Lament For a Toy Factor! Cervantes covers, one, two, Deimos kicks out!
Cervantes gets up and leans against the ropes, waiting for Deimos. Cervantes goes for the Big Finish, but Deimos moves out of the way, springs to his feet and lifts Cervantes into the Numbing. Deimos rolls Cervantes over and begins to apply Millennial Decay, but Cervantes twists his body before he can lock it in and pulls Deimos into a small package, and he gets the three!
Winner: Montague Cervantes
Time: 6:24
Both Eden and Davison are accompanied by their cooperative partners as commentary reminds us that the two teams will meet in two weeks at Infinity for the Cooperative Championship.
They square off, but after a moment Davison appears to lower his defenses. Eden is cautious, but when she feigns a kick and Davison doesn’t react she follows up with the real thing, connecting and staggering him back. She drives him into the corner and delivers a series of forearm shots, and Davison appears to simply be taking the beating. Eden delivers high knees before snapmaring him out of the corner and following up with a somersault leg drop, and she covers but Davison kicks out.
Davison rises to one knee but stops, and Eden again hesitates a moment, but she connects with Bow Down as it has become clear that Davison is making no effort to defend himself. Eden covers, but Davison kicks out at two. Eden looks momentarily confused, looking out to Baal, but he shrugs, unable to offer an answer. She kicks Davison onto his chest in a prone position and delivers the Widow’s Bite, then shoots the half and turns him back over into a pin, but Davison again kicks out at two, as commentary debates why Davison would put up no defense yet continue to extend the match.
Eden looks out at Kyra Johnson at ringside, trying to ascertain what is going on, but Johnson appears stoic. Davison is rising back to her feet, and Eden mutters something and connects with the Hard Way, moving quickly to catch Davison before he drops and following up with the Fall of Eden, and that finishes him as she gets the three.
Winner: Eden Morgan
Time: 2:47
Eden regroups with Baal on the ramp, and Incendium discusses what just happened as Kyra helps Davison up in the ring, both staring at the Cooperative Champions.
The former Piercing Media Empire is set to clash as SEB enters the Global Challenge for the first time tonight. Taking the place of Mac Bane, who had to pull out, Travis’ former partner has his work cut out for him to have a chance of making a showing in the tournament.
The match starts off evenly matched enough, with the former Cooperative Champions feeling one another out. Seb recently returned as part of CCP and, sticky connotations aside, that couldn’t have sat well with the CEO of the Piercing Media Network.
Seb gets the upperhand a few times and attempts to set up for a variety of suplexes, but Pierce knows him well enough to expect it and blocks each time. Travis surprises him with a snap suplex that forces SEB to change his tactics.
Now the kicking arsenal comes out, and the Chelsea Crippler is driving the Icon of Entertainment from one side of the ring to the other and back again. He finishes this series with an Empire Kick and goes for the cover, but rolls off before the three. Commentary reminds us that Seb needs to submit Travis, and right on cue Seb floats over and transitions into the People’s GSHOAT, but Pierce manages to grab some rope just as the move is locked in.
Seb starts to drag him back, away from the ropes, but Travis does a drop toe hold onto the ropes, followed by a top rope headscissors. Now Travis dominates for a good stretch, stacking several slams that keep Seb off his feet for an extended amount of time. He backs off after a full nelson slam and allows a disoriented Sebastian to wobble to his feet before hitting The Truth Hurts.
This is where Pierce decides to show that two can play that game and locks in an anaconda vice, but Seb powers out. Travis doesn’t waste any time, getting off a falling sleeper slam and covering. It’s close, but Seb gets his shoulder up in time.
Pierce hurries up the turnbuckle and goes for the Piercing Blow, but Seb manages to lift his legs and Travis lands hard on his ribs right into Seb’s knees. He crumples into a ball as Everett-Bryce explodes and grabs him for the Emperor Lock! The damage to Travis’s midsection is too much, and he’s forced to tap!
Winner: Sebastian Everett-Bryce by Submission
Time: 9:15
The bell rings and the two lock up. Dixon slips behind and gets Hide in a rear waist lock but Hide powers out and slams Dixon to the mat. Dixon rolls through and pops up. Hide goes for a clothesline but Dixon ducks under, however he turns around and gets caught for a capture suplex.
Hide picks up Dixon and whips him into the corner. He follows up with a body splash. Dixon staggers out, Hide goes for a body slam but Dixon floats out. He kicks the back of the leg of Hide. Hide buckles and trips forward. Dixon hits a reverse neckbreaker. Dixon picks up Hide and starts hitting body shots, sending Hide into the corner. He starts hitting some forearm shots to Hide’s head but Hide bursts out of the corner, sending Dixon back in a reverse somersault.
Dixon is back up and Hide charges but catches another forearm smash. Hide staggers back and Dixon rushes him. He starts hitting him with the Gentleman’s hooks. Hide staggers back. Dixon follows up with a shoot kick. Then a knife edge chop. Another kick. Another chop. Another kick, but it’s caught! Hide pulls him in for a Fisherman Spinebuster and nails it. He goes for a cover but only gets 2.
Hide pulls Dixon up and whips him back to the corner but Dixon comes charging out. Hide hits him with a spinning backfist to send Dixon to the mat. Dixon goes to get up but Hide catches him with a knee to the midsection. He pulls Dixon up and goes for the Wheel of Fortune but Dixon catches him with an enziguri. Both men fall to the mat. As Brian reaches 5 on the 10 count, Dixon is up. Hide is now up. Dixon rushes a rising Hide and nails him with an STO. Dixon backs away for a minute to catch his breath.
Dixon is up and sees a staggering Hide. He goes for the Evolutionary Imperative but Hide dodges it! Dixon turns around and Hide grabs him. DEVIL! Dixon floats out of it! Commentary makes note that there is only 20 seconds left before the time limit hits. Dixon catches Hide as he turns and locks him in to So Very Sinful! Hide is trying to break out but is unsuccessful! Hide looks like he is going to tap but he doesn’t. The crowd is counting down, 10….9….8….Hide is reaching for the ropes…7…6…5….Dixon pulls tighter….4….3…..2….1….DING DING DING!!!
After the bell Hide starts to tap but the match is over and it ends in a draw!
Winner: Time Limit Draw
Time: 10:00
Before the match begins we see footage from backstage where Donovan shoulder blocks Centurion from behind on his way to the ring. Centurion flies into a pile of equipment, but Hastings doesn’t let up. Commentary expresses hope that security gets there quickly, and we go to ringside where Burke is forced to begin the match as a one on one Rydell vs Savage.
Immediately the tension that has been building between these two is evident, and they are brawling back and forth. Lieberjosch laments that this means their Chaos Championship match at Infinity is probably going to be unwatchably violent, but concedes that their current battle is an absolute clinic of wrestling talent.
To wit, Rydell has hit enough neckbreakers and jawbreakers to really make Jordan King concerned for Savage, but Tony has walloped enough haymakers and MMA kicks to draw first blood, which is trickling out of Rydell’s mouth.
We get a Ten Piece and a Biscuit that nets a two count, and not long after an After Shock is just shy of the three. We’re really going back and forth in what is shaping up to be a fine display of wrestling, so you know something’s going to go wrong. Just when you realize that, Hastings drags Centurion out to the ring and shoves him in. Burke looks to Rhombus, who shrugs, and it appears the incapacitated world champion is not legally in this match!
While this was going on, Rydell launched Tip of the Spear, but Savage ducked it and rolled out of the ring. Rydell gets to his feet and Donovan pounds the mat to get his attention. Dave spins around, eyes narrowing as he realizes what’s going on. He refuses to take the pin, much to Hastings’ consternation, and rolls out of the ring in pursuit of the Chaos Champion.
Vinegar reminds us that things didn’t go well for the last person who looked a gift champion in the mouth when she was served up on a platter by the Lord of Pain, and Donovan looks incensed as he backs away from the ring. I suppose he assumes Tony will take advantage of the situation, and leaves Centurion prone in the ring.
As he exits, Tony ambushes his pursuer with a knee to the gut and an Osaka street cutter. Centurion manages to roll himself out of the ring on the other side, but lands with a thud. Savage rolls Rydell into the ring and whips him for The Spinebuster to End all Spinebusters. He’s about to go for the pin when he notices Centurion for the first time, trying to pull himself up by the ring skirt.
It’s not clear if Centurion even knows where he is, but Savage decides to remove the distraction and goes to land a huge punt on the champ that drops him back to the floor. As he turns around, however, he gets caught up in the Virus of Life, and that’s enough for Rydell to steal the three count!!
Winner: Dave Rydell
