DPW-J Tag Title Partner Match: Violet Storm vs Gutter (c)
Angus MacDudley: Angus MacDudley here, and let me explain for those who don’t know the details of this match. If Violet Storm wins, she and Gutter will be tag team champions together, wether Gutter likes it or not. If Gutter wins, she keeps both title belts. Violet Storm is the first female graduate of the DPW Dojo, so this should be a good one.
Violet Storm came out with some kicks, but Gutter caught one and took her down for some punches, causing the DPW-J referee Sakura-chan to break it up. Violet Storm headed to the ropes and hit a crossbody for a one count, and Gutter would answer with a headbutt and a pair of elbow smashes.Gutter slammed Violet Storm down and went for a big knee drop but Violet Storm rolled out of the way! Violet began working on the leg of Gutter, then started on her lower back for a bit. Gutter managed to recover though, getting to a knee and headbutting Violet in the midsection, standing up and headbutting Violet in the face knocking her down before hitting the Headbutt Drop to the midsection. Cover for a two count.
Angus: Gutter not doing anything fancy here, she has no formal training except for a few boxing classes.
Gutter picked up Violet Storm and slammed her back down, going to the top for a Mad Splash, but Violet Storm got the knees up! She stood up and delivered the Sharpshooter, Gutter refusing to submit and making it to the ropes. Violet picked her up and threw her into the ropes, going for her signature Shotei, but Gutter ducked and rolled up Violet Storm! One, two, three!
Angus: That wasn’t a pretty rollup but it got the job done. And coming up next is the other DPW-J title match. “Cowgirl” Jane Porter facing off against Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary has been one of the most successful DPW-J champions ever as of late, and lets see if she can retain once more.
DPW-J Title Match: “Cowgirl” Jane Porter vs Bloody Mary (c)
Cowgirl and Mary started a BRUTAL chopfest to start out, Cowgirl managing to kick Bloody Mary in the midsection and club her with an axehandle smash. Cowgirl hitting a backbreaker next for a one count. Cowgirl picked up Bloody Mary for a hiptoss but Mary blocked it and punched Cowgirl in the face, tripping up Cowgirl and applying a headlock. Lifting herself to a vertical base, she shot Bloody Mary off but Mary hit a big forearm and following up with a kneedrop to the midsection. Cover for a two count. Cowgirl got to her feet and delivered some brutal elbows and then delivered a suplex. Adjusting her elbow pad she prepared to hit her “Texas Lariat” but Bloody Mary ducked... “DIE FOR ME!” (Standing Shoulderlock). Porter struggled for the ropes but couldn’t make it, so she had to use her power to elbow out of it. She kneed Bloody Mary in the stomach and set up for a powerbomb... NAILED IT! One, two, kickout. Cowgirl slammed Bloody Mary down again and went to the top rope... but Bloody Mary recovered and shoved the rope! Cowgirl lost her balance and ended up seated on the top rope... Bloody Mary puts Cowgirl on her shoulders and heads closer to the center of the ring... Go 2 Hell! One, two, three!
Angus: What a VICIOUS Go 2 Hell! Coming up next is a special guest bout, indy wrestler and powerhouse Lonestar facing DPW Dojo member and high-flying prodigy Teenage Ninja, who we assure you is neither a mutant nor a turtle.
Special Guest Match: Lonestar vs Teenage Ninja
Lonestar tries to lock up with Ninja, who wisely has nothing to do with it, keeping distance with kicks. Lonestar does back Ninja into a corner, takes a swing at Ninja who rolls under and dropkicks Lonestar in the back then rolls him up for a one count. Lonestar gets up and again tries to lock up with Teenage Ninja who again rolls behind Lonestar and once the big man turns around he eats a kneelick to the face! The Ninja then hits a standing moonsault for a two count. Teenage Ninja then heads to the ropes... and EATS A HUGE LARIAT! Lonestar picks up Teenage Ninja and hits a scoopslam and a leg drop. Lonestar picks up the Ninja and delivers multiple elbows and chops, then a series of chops in the corner! Teenage Ninja ducked a big right hand and kicked at Lonestar’s leg, stepping away and hitting a Koppou Kick! Teenage Ninja would head to the ropes then and hit a nice springboard moonsault for a two count. Teenage Ninja then signaled for the finish and whipped Lonestar and goes for the “Lustering Sorceror” (Flying Knee to a running opponent) but GOT BLASTED IN MIDAIR WITH A BIG BOOT! Lonestar picked up Teenage Ninja and delivered a BRUTAL powerbomb. Lateral press, one, two, three!
Angus MacDudley: A great effort by Teenage Ninja but Lonestar’s boot lead to a flattening powerbomb, and no way could he kick out of it. Now Robert Gemini is coming out... and the lights have been dimmed...
“Dead Skin Mask” by Slayer hits
Angus: And that’s the entrance music Ghost used in Pro Wrestling VICTORY. Ghost was famous for being a recluse. Nobody knows ANYTHING about him, he rarely talks to other wrestlers...
When the chorus is reached, the lights go to normal, and a man with white hair, pale corpse-like makeup, and wearing dark ragged clothes is standing across Robert Gemini
Angus: That’s him! Don’t let the attire and corpse paint fool you, Ghost makes no illusions of being undead or anything like that... from what little he has said in public he wears that outfit to intimidate his opponents.
Robert Gemini vs Ghost
Ghost starts out with a running knee strike and a series of elbows, snapmaring Gemini and applying a chinlock. Gemini gets to his feet and throws Ghost off, but Ghost hits a flying shoulder tackle! Ghost would deliver two arm drags and delivering a flip senton. Ghost followed up with a snap suplex for a two count. Robert Gemini would chop Ghost and throw him to the ropes for a kitchen sink, then he would start to work on the leg of Ghost... who would crossface out of it. Ghost would do a backdrop, and then try to apply a seated sleeper.
Angus: He calls this “Sleep Forever”...
Gemini would manage to make it to the ropes. Ghost would set up for a big slam, but Gemini floated over! Ghost turned around took a kick to the gut... and Gemini set him up for the “Fallen Star” (Black Tiger Bomb) but Ghost would slip out as well... Gemini turned around... “Buried Alive” (Complete Shot)! He pulled Gemini into position, then climbed to the top rope... Shooting Star Press! One, two, three!
Angus: Robert Gemini was just outclassed here. No rust with the veteran Ghost. You have to give Gemini credit for trying to capitalize on an opening though. That killer instinct will take him places in the future. Coming up next though is a tag team match... one of DPW’s oldest combinations, Anarchy in the UK, taking on members of the still-intact Nightmares, Shinokumo and Raiku Daisatsu.
Anarchy in the UK vs Shinokumo and Raiku Daisatsu
Thomas Clarke and Raiku Daisatsu start out, Raiku throwing Thomas into the ropes and hitting a big shoulder tackle for a one count. Raiku would picks up Thomas and elbows Thomas. Thomas gets a fireman’s carry and a headlock, Raiku getting to his feet... shooting Thomas off, blind tag to Kevin Williams, jumping over the ropes. Raiku throws Thomas with a hiptoss but Raiku turns around and eats a dropkick! Shinokumo tags in, lariat to Williams followed up with a DDT. Williams reversed an Irish Whip but hits a drop toe hold, tagging Clarke back in. Clarke applied a half crab and Kevin Williams added an “Anarchy Stomp” (running stomp to the head) for good measure! Raiku broke it up and grabbed Kevin Williams and chucked him CLEAN OVER THE ROPES! Kevin seemed OUT and Shinokumo and Raiku would double team Thomas, pounding him with stomps, then hitting a double backdrop! Shinokumo put Thomas in the “Blood Web Driver” (FFF), then passed him off to Raiku for the “Satanic Offering” (Tiger Driver 91)... but Williams gets back in the ring to save! Clubbing Raiku, then hitting the “Anarchy Slam” (Rock Bottom) on Shinokumo. Referee Matt Weston ordering Kevin Williams and Raiku Daisatsu to their corners, Thomas making the tag... and THERE IT IS! Kevin would get on top to set up for the “Revolutionizer” (Twisting Senton), but Raiku yanked on the rope! Kevin elbowed Raiku off the apron and signaling for another Anarchy Slam...MIST BY SHINOKUMO! Thomas Clarke with a blind tag, entering the ring... Kevin in his blindness doesn’t realize it, grabs Thomas and hits him with a SICK Snap Fisherman’s DDT! Shinokumo hits Kevin with a Blood Web Driver and then pins Clarke, one, two, THREE!
Angus: Shinokumo’s mist causing a miscommunication, and the Nightmares pick up the win! Up next though is a match between former tag champions EURO*STAR against the Geek Squad!
DPW Tag Team Title Match: EURO*STAR vs Geek Squad (c)
Amazing Jean-Paul and Sam S. McCloud started this one out, locking up and Sam getting the advantage until Jean-Paul gets an arm drag, then a hiptoss and a drop toe hold. Jean-Paul tags to Tony Pescarelli, Tony applying a headlock and working it until Sam got to a vertical base, then an “E Honda Special” (flying shoulder tackle). Tag to Xander, who leaped over the top rope and hit an elbow drop. Xander rolled backwards to his feet, Tony hitting an elbow smash and a snapmare into a headscissors. Xander would get a handstand and free himself, dropkicking Tony in the face! Tag to Sam, who hit a flying headbutt and went for the “Triforce Lock” (Triangle Lock) but Tony got to the ropes. Tony would get Sam and powerbomb him for a two count. Another powerbomb attempt... floatover... Sam goes to the ropes... “TIGER KNEE!” (Flying knee). But no cover! Both of them manage to tag and AJP and Xander Starr face off! Xander tries to SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY but AJP jumps over the legsweep. AJP tries one of his own but Xander BACKFLIPS over and then hits a basement dropkick to the face of AJP! Xander goes to the top for the 810 Splash, but Jean-Paul gets the knees! Jean-Paul gets up and gets a running start... leaping and catching Xander’s head and flipping over his body for a standing Shiranui! “C’est Magnifique!”Cover, two, Sam breaks it! Sam picks Jean up and Xander joins him... “FLASH DRIVE” (Double Ore Ga Taue)! Sam cuts of Tony Pescarelli with a “Hundred Hand Slap” (Tsuappari). Xander pins AJP, one, two, three!
Angus: That was an excellent way to end this bout. Coming up next is a bout between two bitter rivals... Corey O'Brian and a man new to DPW, "Hand of God" Micheal Norcia. Norcia is a former world champion in both wrestling and MMA. The first time these two met in the ring, Norcia gave Corey a concussion from a powerbomb. And in their second encounter, Norcia nearly broke Corey's leg. Another story is Corey O'Brian's reaction to Chris Koger aligning himself with Joe "Danger" Smith to form The Power Play. Let's roll some footage from earlier tonight.
The screen shows Corey O'Brian in the back doing stretches. October Raven approaches him.
OR: Corey... I know you're upset, but I want to talk to you...
Corey gets up and looks at the boss.
Corey: Upset? You think I'm... upset? Koger tried to end my career. Do you remember that he used PEPPER SPRAY on me? And not only did I accept him back into our locker room... I FORGAVE him for that. I thought he had learned his lesson... that he was truly sorry... but his feeling sorry was all just a bunch of bullshit. And that... is MUCH worse than trying to blind me. You know the saying "Fool me once, shame on you"? Well this time... it's "Fool me once, I crush you." I am going to do to Koger what he tried to do to me. Only difference is... I will get the job done.
Corey storms off
OR: ...And they say I'M intimidating...
Cut back to the live show
Angus: Well there you have it... Corey is out for blood, and quite frankly, who can blame him? I wonder though how he will use that aggression in this bout...
Corey O'Brian vs Michael Norcia
At the bell Corey IMMEDIATELY charged at Norcia, backing him up into a corner. Referee Matt Weston called for the break... Corey elbowed him HARD, and Norcia took a swing as well! The two exchanged blows back and forth, Corey again taking Norcia down and raining elbows, Norcia responding with punches.
Angus: This is looking more like a WCCF fight here...
Corey caught a punch and transitioned into a Jujigatame but Norcia managed to get it into a rollup, hammerfisting Corey until the hold was broken. Back to a vertical base Corey got a headlock in, Norcia trying to lift Corey but Corey lowers his center of gravity... Norcia manages to shoot him off, Norcia hitting a back body drop and a big knee drop before putting Corey in an armbar! Corey managed to clasp his hands and put his foot on the ropes to force a break, Norcia pulling Corey up and delivering a big suplex. Cover, two, Corey kicks out... AND APPLIES A KIMURA FROM THE BOTTOM! Norcia hammerfists Corey again and after a half-dozen shots manages to fight out of it. Norcia picks Corey up and goes for the big punch he calls the "Hand of God"... Corey ducked! EXPLODER! Cover, two, kickout!
Angus: That was CLOSE. That Hand of God is a vicious knockout blow, and that Exploder was right on the money as well.
Norcia took Corey down now, raining down punches... COREY GETS A TRIANGLE! Norcia goes to posture up for a slam... BAM! Right into the canvas! One, two, no! Norcia goes to pull Corey up in a backdrop position... but instead he hits a VICIOUS shin breaker, a la Saya Kazama! Figure four! Corey however was close enough to the ropes to turn over and grab them! Norcia picked Corey up by the hair this time... but Corey grabbed his leg! DRAGON SCREW! Corey wastes no time getting Norcia in position for a Core Meltdown...
Angus: This could be it....
Suddenly "Black Curtains" by Megadeth hits, and Chris Koger and Joe "Danger" Smith enter the ring and they axehandle Corey in the back! Matt Weston calls for the bell! No Contest! The two Power Play members start pounding on the stunned Corey... Norcia getting up... pointing to Koger, and heading his way... the duo wisely leaving the ring!
Angus: Norcia keeping them from doing too much damage...
Corey slowly gets to his feet... and Norcia FLOORS him with a "Hand of God" punch! Smith takes a mic.
Smith: You want to talk about putting us out of the business, Corey? Well that's a funny thing... because we are going to drive you out of DPW... but first, we need to take the DPW World Heavyweight Championship... and the man who will do it is the newest member of the Power Play... Micheal Norcia! That's right, WE are the ones who talked him into coming here in the first place!
The three start stomping on Corey but October Raven, Socks O'Brian, and The Geek Squad rush to the ring! The Power Play flee! Socks grabs Corey and carries him to the back.
October Raven: I would ask you why I shouldn't fire all three of you sons of bitches... but you know what? I'm not even going to bother. Cause I know that the man the three of you just ambushed will want to personally take care of you himself. Now Smith, since you're the leader of your little group you have the right to have Norcia as the number one contender like we agreed at Return to Dome... BUT! You and Koger... you two are facing Corey and Socks O'Brian at the next show. And to make it interesting, we'll add a special stipulation... the wrestler who gets pinned must take ten strikes to the back with a bokken!
Smith: That's fine by me, but just one thing... you call me the leader of Power Play? That's funny, because I never said I was, did I?
OR: Well if you're not leader, who is?
Smith: I'm not telling. But what I will tell you... is that he IS on the DPW roster.
Angus: Wait... did he just say... one of DPW's own is behind all this?
OR: ...You're not fooling anyone, Smith. DPW is a FAMILY. Now get the FUCK out of this arena before I have all three of you bastards arrested for assault! NOW! You're all BANNED from the building for the main event.
Angus: Well the boss has a point, nobody in DPW would ever sell out one of their own... but still, I have to wonder if it just is an empty bluff or not... but now it’s time for the main event!
DPW World Heavyweight Title: Jin Haisha vs Chris DaMico (c)
The two locked up and Jin managed to get a go-behind, Chris elbowing Haisha and getting a snapmare... a whiplash attempt countered into a sleeper by Jin! Chris got to his feet, snapmaring Jin Haisha again and getting a surfboard. Jin would get to his feet and turn it around on Chris, who countered with a kangaroo kick! Chris would pick up Jin and try to throw him into the ropes, but Jin reversed... Chris does a Tiger Flip off the apron, catching Jin’s neck for yet another snapmare into a chinlock! Jin would struggle to his feet again, throwing Chris off... ducking a lariat and hitting a Russian Legsweep! Cover, one, kickout. Jin would get a hiptoss and head to the top rope and hit a big kneedrop! He adjusted his elbow pad for a lariat, but Chris rolled under it, and when they faced each other Chris hit a one-legged dropkick! Cover, one, kickout. Chris would throw Jin into the ropes and get a drop toe hold, transitioning into an Onryo Clutch, one, two, kickout. Jin would block a suplex attempt and hit one of his own, following it up with a DDT. One, two, kickout at two. Jin set Chris up for a piledriver but Chris tripped him up, put Jin’s legs in a 4, then as Jin sits up Chris goes over and rolls him to his shoulders for a NOSAWA Clutch! One, two, no! Chris tried to go for an Emerald Frosion but Jin floated over, tried to set up for the “Calamari Buster” (Pump Handle Bomb) but DaMico hiptossed out of it. Jin got up and hit a BIG lariat. Cover, two, but DaMico kicks out. Jin then STOMPED HIS FEET.
Angus: Superkick time...
Jin went for a superkick... but DaMico caught the leg! DRAGON SCREW! Jin clutched his leg in pain and DaMico quickly put him in a Delphin Clutch! One, two, three!
