Preditor
vs. 'Style In Action' Frankie Manns
Manns was totally dominant
in the early going of this match-up. Manns hit technical move after move,
as Predator could do nothing to stop the hard charging Manns. Midway through
the match, two more men dressed as Predator came down to the ring. Confused
as to who the real Predator was, Manns proceeded to kick all three Predators'
asses. As Manns climbed to the top rope looking to finish it with his top
rope float-over neckbreaker, yet another Predator came out from underneath
the ring. This new Predator sneaks up behind Manns, climbs to the top rope
and locks in a tazmission type submission hold. Predator drags Manns off
the turnbuckle and down to the canvas with the hold still locked in. Manns
taps out and the ref calls for the bell.
Winner: Preditor
After
the Match: Predator keeps the hold locked in as the ref tries
to break it. BSW Security comes down and eventually Security and the ref
get Predator to break the hold. As Predator stands over Manns, he takes
off his gloves and camouflage jacket before eventually taking off his mask
revealing that the Predator is none other than Maurice Dream!

'Franchise' Cooper Tate (c) vs. Keith

Mike Anderson
vs. Necro Butcher vs.
'War Machine' Vince Graham vs.
Hotstuff Hernandez
All
six men enter the ring and straight away the match erupts into a brawl,
spilling to the ringside area and into the crowd. Necro Butcher and Mike
Anderson are left in the ring, and Butcher straight away goes for the high
spots, nailing a swinging DDT before going out of the ring and bringing
in a chair. He takes Anderson down to one knee with this, before skateboarding
the chair into his face. The cover is made, but it is broken at 2 by Vince
Graham, who sends Butcher into the corner before following in with a splash
with the chair! Graham raises his hand and signals early for the Graham
Slam, but the move is broken up from the outside by Tate, who throws a chair
at Graham before going up top and nailing a sunset flip for a two count!
Tate then hops up top and drops back down with a reverse splash, again getting
a two count. Hotstuff Hernandez and Keith Krash finally return to the action,
Hernandez going after Tate as Krash works over Necro Butcher in the corner.
Butcher manages to battle back, knocking Krash down with a lariat before
throwing Graham and Mike Anderson to the outside. The two Legend's Alliance
members then go to work over Tate and Krash, attempting to Irish whip them
into each other. However, Tate leapfrogs over Krash, who slides under him,
taking Hernandez out at the knee. Butcher then charges and tries to lariat
down Tate, but Tate ducks again, as does Keith Krash, sending Butcher into
his stable mate! The two faces then start to take control, setting up two
chairs in the middle of the ring before whipping Butcher into the ropes
and flapjacking him right onto them! The pair then take out Hernandez with
a double armdrag, before Krash suddenly surprises Tate with the Clothesline
Up North, pinning him for a two count, broken up by Mike Anderson. The Anarchist
drags Krash to the ringside, sending him into the ring post, before grabbing
a table from underneath the ring. Mike Anderson sets this up, before, to
the delight up the crowd, throwing a handful of thumbtacks on top! Mike
Anderson lifts Krash up onto the ring apron and goes for a powerbomb, but
the big man just about wiggles free, only to be taken down through the table
with a spinebuster! Krash lies motionless as the match continues, the OSS
member seemingly taken out of the match. Back in the ring, Hotstuff Hernandez
and Necro Butcher double team Cooper Tate, nailing a double team powerbomb,
before signalling to finish him off. Hernandez sits up top as Butcher passes
Tate up to him, preparing for a top-rope Hotstuff Drop! Hernandez nails
the move, but before the cover can be made, out of nowhere Triple S jumps
from the crowd with a chair, taking out both Legend's Alliance members,
before battling with the two to the back, trying to ensure no outside interference
in his title match later! With Krash taken out, only Tate, Graham and Anderson
remain. Tate takes a breather on the outside as Graham and Anderson carry
on fighting in the ring, Anderson somehow managing a sit-out powerbomb onto
all three of the chairs for a two count! Tate realises that something needs
to be done to turn it up a notch, and brings out a series of tables from
under the ring, setting a pair up on the outside before sliding one into
the ring. However, before he can make use of it, Mike Anderson nails a baseball
slide to him, before setting up the table himself in the corner. Vince Graham
sneaks up on him and tries for a spinning belly to belly through the table,
but Anderson wiggles out, before somehow lifting him for a death valley
bomb through the table! Anderson makes a throat cut, signalling for the
end, but turns around right into Cooper Tate, who scoops him up and delivers
a release black tiger bomb over the top through the two tables on the outside.
Tate rolls up Graham in the ring tightly for the pin and the win!

The camera
focuses in on a locker room door, and the crowd pop when they see that the
sign on the door reads 'Steve Hall'. The cameraman makes its way in to ask
for an interviewer, but when he gets in there, he catches Akuma throwing
Steve Hall into the locker room wall! The Akagumi Kimen member hotfoots
it out of there as Steve Hall lies holding his arm on the floor!
Calib
McClain vs. Hannibal
King
This match was
everything we thought it would be and more and concluded with a great surprise
ending. I'm not even sure you could this a wrestling match, as it more closely
resembled a street fight. McClain started out strong with some great power
moves but Hannibal was able to use his quickness advantage to take control
of the match. Hannibal was able to get a near submission on Calib with a
dragon sleeper but Calib was able to fight his way out of it with a mule
kick low blow. At this point, Daniel 'The Devil' Estacado made his way down
to the ring. This would prove to be very interesting, as no one knew exactly
where the Devil stood in this situation. As the match continued to go back
and forth, the Devil did his best to distract Calib with constant jawing.
Hannibal was able to duck a clothesline from hell from Calib, which instead
hit the ref flipping him in the air several times. The crowd popped as Estacado
slowly made his way into the ring. As both Calib and Hannibal turn around
to see what the commotion is about, Estacado human torches Hannibal. Calib
then sets Hannibal up for and delivers the Breakdown (giant powerbomb) as
the crowd boos loudly. Estacado revives the ref and the ref makes the 123.
Winner: Calib McClain
Backstage:
A cameraman follows Maurice Dream as he enters the Fallen locker room. Inside
the locker room sits Knight, McClain, and Estacado. Not a word is spoken,
just a stare down and simple nods of approval by all.
United
States Title:
'I Quit' Match: Triple S (c) vs. Venom
Another classic
match-up between two of the biggest names in BSW history. The action was
fast and furious between these two great technical wrestlers. We were blessed
with an incredible variety of submission holds, which both Triple S and
Venom used trying to get the other to say 'I Quit' but both continued to
manage to escape the holds. During the match, Daniel 'The Devil' Estacado
came out with a steel chair and sat at the top of the entrance ramp getting
a look at the action. This begged the question as to whether he was scouting
a new alliance or looking to start up an old rivalry. Towards the end of
the match Triple S came on strong as it looked like he had Venom wore down.
Triple S hit a great series of moves including a knee breaker and a double
arm DDT before signaling for the Star Gazer (roll the dice). As Shane delivered
the Star Gazer, Hannibal King, with a bandage on the left side of his face
from the Human Torch from the Devil earlier in the night, came out of the
crowd with a dented steel chair. 3S applied the Idolizer (sharpshooter)
as Hannibal came up behind the ref and slapped him in the back of the head
with the chair. Venom was screaming 'I Quit' but there was no ref to hear
it. In an unexpected move, Hannibal reared back with the chair and cracked
SSS square in the face before picking him up and delivering a King Bomb
(double underhook powerbomb). The ref begins to come-to as Venom applies
a figure-four leglock. The ref calls for the bell as Triple S appears to
be unconscious and he doesn't want Shane to suffer serious injury.
Winner and new United States Champion: Venom
After
the Match: As Venom slides out of the ring, he and Hannibal come
face to face. They stare each other down until the two shake hands signifying
some alliance clearly made in hell between two of the most hated men in
BSW history.

3 Way Boards Match:
Crazy C / Lil J (c) vs. Akagumi
Kimen vs. Bucky Thompson / Steve Hall
The
ring is set up with a bed of nails outside on two sides, with light bulb
boards on the other sides. In the corners of the ring are barbed wire boards.
Akagumi Kimen enter first to a mixed reaction, both looking sharp as they
enter the ring. Bucky Thompson then makes his way out, but he is not with
Steve Hall, who we assume is still lying hurt backstage. All of a sudden
however, The Comedians old music rings out and out comes Action Jackson
to even up the sides! Thompson looks surprised but the two hit the ring
and straight away start to attack Akuma and Yajuu-san! Crazy C and Lil J
enter last as the match erupts straight into a brawl, spilling to the outside
and into the crowd! The crowd scatter as Bucky Thompson throws Lil J over
the barricade into the crowd, before following out himself with a cross
body off the barricade! Akuma soon joins them with a double clothesline
off the barricade, as Crazy C battles with Action Jackson by the ring. As
this is going on, the crowd get a big shock as Yajuu-san pulls out a ladder
from under the ring, and knocks down both Jackson and Crazy C. The Japanese
star then quickly scales half way up the ladder, before hitting a suicidal
senton atomico off onto the three men battling in the crowd, all four men
getting taken down. The crowd applaud this as the men slowly get back to
the ringside area. Jackson, still battling Crazy C, then grabs the ladder
and knocks Crazy C down, before scaling up to the top. However, Lil J spots
this, and pushes the ladder, sending Action Jackson over the top rope into
the ring. Lil J then rolls into the ring and introduces Jackson to the barbed
wire, whipping him into one of the boards in the corner. Crazy C then comes
in and assists Lil J in giving Action a double snap suplex onto the board,
before covering for a two count. Meanwhile, Bucky Thompson attempts a scoop
slam onto one of the beds of nails on Yajuu-san, but the young Japanese
wrestler reverses this, hitting a headscissor takedown into the barricade,
before Akuma rolls Thompson into the crowd. Akagumi Kimen return to the
ring and take down The Psychotics with a pair of springboard dropkicks,
before dropping Crazy C with a double fisherman's suplex onto one of the
barbed wire boards! The move gets a two count, but is broken up by Crazy
C, who drops Akuma with a lariat, before ramming Yajuu-san into one of the
barbed wire boards in the corner. Crazy C and Lil J then sit Yajuu-san and
Action Jackson in opposite corners, before placing one of the barbed wire
boards over their upper half. In a crazy spot, both members of The Psychotics
charge and nail running lariats in the corner, smashing the barbed wire
into Jackson and Yajuu-san! Both of their opponents are bust open by the
moves, but the cover on Jackson is broken up by a recovered Bucky Thompson,
who jumps from the ladder on the outside into the ring with a flying elbow!
The crowd then pop as Thompson hops out of the ring and brings in one of
the beds of nails, setting it up against the ring ropes. The Comedian then
tries for an Irish whip into it on Yajuu-san, but the young Japanese wrestler
counters this into an arm wrench, before nailing his rope walk into a DDT!
Akuma follows this up with a flying elbow drop, getting a two and a half.
Akagumi Kimen then grab Bucky Thompson and combine to whip into the bed
of nails, before hitting a double back drop suplex as he bounces back. However,
as Akuma turns around from the move, he meets a superkick from Jackson,
sending him back into the bed of nails, cutting his arm! Jackson then goes
outside the ring and grabs the ladder again, before setting it up in the
middle of the ring and going up top. However, Crazy C and Lil J spot this,
and pick up the ladder with Jackson on it! The crowd watch on in awe as
Jackson is carried over and dropped right onto the ring ropes, bouncing
down to the floor! The Psychotics then drop the ladder right onto Akuma
and covering for a two count. The Psychotics then go to the outside and
grab a table, setting it up on the outside, before placing one of the barbed
wire boards on top of it. Akuma is dragged outside and placed on the table,
as Crazy C ascends to the top of the turnbuckle. The Psychotic goes for
a crazy dive to the outside, but at the last minute Akuma moves, sending
Crazy C through the table. Akuma then grabs Lil J who is stood on the ring
apron, and drops him with an iconoclasm to the floor! Back in the ring Bucky
Thompson and Yajuu-san go at it again, Yajuu-san trying to set up for the
Osaka Driller, but Thompson reverses, pushing him into the corner onto a
barbed wire board and catching him with a German suplex hold for a two count
as he comes back. Bucky Thompson then sets the ladder up in the middle of
the ring and begins to ascend, before coming off with the Punchline right
onto Yajuu-san! It seems a certain victory, but at the last moment Akuma
breaks up the pin, pulling Thompson to the outside. However, unseen, Action
Jackson slides back in and makes a cover, but somehow Yajuu-san kicks out
at 2.9! Jackson signals for the end, setting up Yajuu-san for a hurancanrana,
but somehow the Japanese star reverses, sending Jackson down to the mat
with a top rope Liger bomb for a two count! Yajuu-san then goes for an Irish
whip into the barbed wire board on Jackson, but, showing great agility,
Jackson hits the Honma back-flip counter, before dropping Yajuu-san with
a full nelson face buster into the board! Jackson looks about to make the
cover, but out of nowhere Crazy C and Lil J crack him with a double chair
shot! The two then drag Jackson to the outside, and drop him with a double
suplex by one of the nail boards. In a moment of sheer insanity, Crazy C
then re-enters the ring, and charges, nailing a huge tope con hilo over
the nails onto the fallen Action Jackson! However, Bucky Thompson matches
him move for move, following out with a third rope press onto The Psychotics!
The members of Akagumi Kimen regroup in the ring, grabbing the chairs before
going outside and knocking down Thompson. The pair then set up the two chairs,
before placing one of the light bulb boards across it! Yajuu-san grabs Lil
J and takes him over to the corner as Akuma stomps away at Action Jackson.
The crowd look on in awe as Yajuu-san sits Lil J on the middle rope, before
nailing a hurancanrana to the outside through the impromptu light bulb table!
Both men go down, bust open, as Akuma rolls Jackson back into the ring and
drops him with the Eternal Sleep. He makes the cover, but Bucky Thompson
just about breaks up the count. Thompson then levels Akuma with a roundhouse
kick, before grabbing the other light bulb board from the outside. He sets
this up in the ring and goes for a DDT on Akuma onto it, but Crazy C breaks
up the move with a slingshot heel kick. Crazy C then hops up top and goes
for the shooting star press, but Action Jackson pushes him off to the outside.
Jackson then begins to set up a pair of tables on the outside, before placing
one of the barbed wire boards on top, followed by Crazy C on top of that!
Jackson then sets up the ladder in the ring, before ascending up. However,
Akuma recovers quickly, and pulls him back, dropping Jackson from part way
up the ladder onto the light bulb board! Akuma drops down as well, hurt
from before, allowing Bucky Thompson to capitalise. The other Comedian goes
up the ladder himself, before dropping a rolling knee off halfway up onto
Crazy C and the tables! Thompson rolls slowly on top to cover him and win
the titles for his team! All six men get a standing ovation after a brutal
contest.

Fire Death Match:
Daniel 'The Devil' Estacado (c) vs. 'X-Rated'
Hopps
The
ring is set up for the match with oil soaked rags hung in between the ropes
and set on fire, and a can of kerosene outside for the participants. Hopps
enters first to a big pop before Estacado makes his way down to big heat.
The two straight away square off, Estacado trying to send Hopps into the
ropes, but Hopps counters with a slide stop before firing back with a clothesline.
Hopps then drops Estacado with a quick drop suplex, before straight away
going out the ring and grabbing a couple of trashcans and a kendo stick
from under the ring. Hopps nails Estacado with one of the trashcans, before
setting the other up in the corner and whipping him into it, following up
with a schoolboy roll-up for a two count. Hopps then grabs the kendo stick
and knocks Estacado down, before hopping up in the corner and coming back
with a reverse splash for another two count. The ex-hardcore champion goes
back to the outside, grabbing a long lightbulb from under the ring, but
he is surprised by Estacado, who nails a baseball slide under the burning
ropes! Estacado then grabs the lightbulb and smashes it over Hopps head,
busting him wide open! The champion proceeds to try early for his Human
Torch, but Hopps manages to duck, avoiding the move, before nailing a low
blow on Estacado. Hopps climbs up on the ring apron, making sure he isn't
burned, before coming off with a flying dropkick. The two then return to
the ring, Hopps planting a DDT on one of the trashcans, before going up
top and nailing his spinning leg drop. However, Hopps seems to land awkwardly,
and is unable to cover, just lying there and holding his knee. Estacado
takes advantage of this, stomping away on Hopps' leg, before wrapping him
up in a figure four leg lock. Hopps has nowhere to go as he can't grab the
ropes, but eventually breaks the hold, only to be taken down with a low
dropkick. Estacado then grabs the kendo stick and nails Hopps across the
leg with it, before hopping out of the ring and grabbing a chain from under
the ring! He ties Hopps up to the corner, his leg vulnerable, before stomping
away some more on Hopps' knee, wearing him down. He then wraps the chain
around his own fist and punches Hopps over and over again in the leg, trying
to render him unable to walk. Hopps tries to stand up, but he is taken down
straight away with a knee breaker by Estacado, who makes a cover for a two
count. Estacado sends Hopps into the corner again, before charging in with
a lariat. In an innovative spot, Estacado then ties Hopps up in the tree
of woe, before sliding out of the ring and pulling Hopps' legs down across
the turnbuckle whilst stood on the ring apron. Estacado then hops down to
the floor, wrenching the ex-hardcore champions leg down on the corner post.
Estacado then grabs a chair from the outside, before re-entering and nailing
Hopps with it, taking him down and out. Estacado makes the cover, again
getting a two count, before arguing with the referee over the length of
the count. Hopps take this opportunity to try and make a brief comeback,
nailing a German suplex hold for a two count, but as he goes for a clothesline,
he gets his knee taken out again with a low kick. Out of nothing, Estacado
brings the fire into play, throwing Hopps out through the middle rope right
past the flaming rags! Hopps lies in pain on the outside as Estacado then
shows great agility, running and hitting a third rope body press on the
fallen Hopps for a 2.9! The crowd applaud both men as Estacado rolls Hopps
back into the ring, before taking the kendo stick and setting it alight
on the ropes! Estacado cracks Hopps across the back, before dropping the
kendo stick and trying for a pilderiver onto it! However, summoning all
the energy he can, Hopps manages to lever out, back dropping Estacado over
the top to the concrete, again brushing the fire! Feeling the end may be
near, Hopps grabs the chair, before dousing it in kerosene and lighting
it up. He goes over to Estacado on the outside, but is surprised out of
nothing with the Human Torch from Estacado, the champion having concealed
a bottle of lighter fluid and a lighter in his boots! Estacado rolls Hopps
back into the ring and makes the cover, but Hopps kicks out at 2.9! Estacado
signals for the end, and steps out of the ring to grabs a table, as well
as a football jersey (!?!). The crowd are unsure what he has planned, until
he douses the jersey in kerosene, before setting up Hopps on the table on
the outside. The crowd watch on in awe as Estacado puts on the jersey, before
alighting it and nailing a splash through the table! Estacado throws the
top off straight away before it can do him too much damage, before covering
Hopps for the three count! Estacado retains as Hopps is helped from ringside
on a stretcher by EMTs following a gruesome contest!

World Title:
'Raw Deal' Jay Hall (c) vs. Dark
Knight
The
crowd are hyped for the main event as the ring ropes are changed following
the previous fire match to prepare. "Ministry" plays over the PA system
as Dark Knight makes his way out on his own to big heat, posing on the turnbuckle
to boos from the crowd. 'Voice' by Disturbed then hits as the champion makes
his way out to a huge pop, before sliding into the ring and posing on the
other turnbuckle with the belt. The bell rings as Dark Knight and Hall get
right up in each other's faces, starting a verbal war, before Jay shoves
Dark Knight. The much larger challenger then shoves Jay back, sending him
flying across the ring, only for Jay to charge back with a body tackle before
mounting Dark Knight and punching away! Dark Knight then rolls on top, reversing
this, before Jay rolls back over again, sending Dark Knight sliding out
to the outside. DK takes a moment to regroup, but as he is stood there the
world champion comes flying out at him with a suicide dive through the middle
ropes! The two exchange punches again on the outside, DK coming out on top
and ramming Jay into the ring post, only for the champion to come back by
ramming Dark Knight into the barricade. Jay then hops up on the ring apron
and comes off with a somersault, seemingly trying for the somersault rana,
but Dark Knight catches the move and rams Hall into the ring post again,
before rolling him back into the ring. Dark Knight then enters himself and
drops a big elbow drop before covering for a two count. Dark Knight complains
about a slow count before using his power to whip Jay into the corner and
following in with a charging lariat. Dark Knight then signals for another,
sending Hall across into the other corner, but his opponent manages to sling
up into a head scissor position, before ramming Dark Knight's head into
the middle turnbuckle. Hall then takes Dark Knight down to size with a dropkick
to the knee, before quickly locking on a cross arm breaker, Dark Knight
quickly scrambling to the ropes. The hold is broken, but as he stands Jay
takes him right back down with a Fujiwara hold, again the challenger struggling
to the ropes. Jay breaks the hold, but then straight away stomps on Dark
Knight's arm, seemingly the focus of his attack. Jay then wrenches the arm
with an arm dragon screw, before locking on a triangle arm breaker, Dark
Knight again struggling to the ropes. Hall again refuses to let up, stomping
away on Dark Knight's arm before springing out of the ring and coming back
in with a springboard double stomp right onto DK's shoulder. The big man
seems slowed by this attack, but manages to come back shortly, countering
an arm dragon screw attempt into a short range clothesline. Dark Knight
tries to shake off the pain in his arm as he stomps on the champion, before
whipping him into the ropes and hitting a huge spinebuster as he comes back.
Dark Knight then picks Jay up again and delivers a huge belly to belly suplex,
before covering for a two count. DK decides to take the fight to the outside,
whipping Jay out through the middle rope, before showing great agility by
flying out with a baseball slide, knocking Jay down to the concrete hard.
The challenger refuses to let up, ramming Jay into the ring steps, before
climbing up and dropping a short elbow drop off them. Dark Knight rolls
himself and his opponent back into the ring on the 15 count, before covering
for a two count. Back in the ring, DK takes Jay down with a huge charging
lariat, before picking him up and delivering a delayed powerbomb with jacknife
hold for a two count! Jay just kicks out, and Dark Knight picks him up straight
after, trying for a second. However, Jay manages to land in some punches
to Dark Knight's head, before rolling through into a Minoru special arm
breaker! Dark Knight is trapped in the middle of the ring as the crowd get
on their feet, and has nowhere to go. The challenger battles, but can't
escape, so he tries to stand up out of the move. This proves to be a mistake
it seems at first, as Jay ends up perfectly in a hanging armbar... until
DK drops him right down onto the back of his neck, knocking the champion
down and almost out of it! Dark Knight rolls on top for the cover, but Jay
just about kicks out at 2 and a half! Dark Knight then begins to focus his
attack on the neck, sending Jay into the ropes and locking on a sleeper
hold, before transitioning nicely into a sleeping neckbreaker. He then locks
on a ne-han full nelson, wrenching forward on Jay's head, the champion only
just making it to the ropes. As Jay makes his way to his feet, he turns
around straight into the Jaws of Death from Dark Knight, which gets another
two and a half count. Dark Knight holds his head at the near fall, before
dropping a leg to Jay and making another cover for a two. Jay tries to regroup,
landing a couple of low kicks, before bouncing off the ropes, but he is
caught straight away with a huge elbow strike from Dark Knight, wiping him
down and out. Dark Knight makes a throat cut motion, signalling for the
end, before sitting Jay up top and preparing for the super brainbuster.
Jay struggles, holding on for his dear life, before all of a sudden out
of desperation nailing a low blow! The crowd look on in awe as Jay positions
DK on the outside of the turnbuckle on the middle ropes, before executing
a huranacanrana onto the padding outside! Both men are down and hurt as
the referee starts a twenty count. The crowd will both men to get up, and
at 18 the pair somehow return to the ring. Dark Knight tries to take Jay
down with some punches, but these are reversed, the final one being transitioned
into the wrist clutch exploder for a two count! Jay then sits up Dark Knight,
before bouncing off the ropes and delivering a huge stiff running dropkick
to the face, taking him down and out. The move gets a two and a half, as
Jay straight away sits Dark Knight up top, before bringing him down with
a muscle buster, before locking on another cross arm breaker! Dark Knight
is shouting in pain as he battles to the ropes, eventually reaching them
and using his power plus leverage off Jay's pants to roll Hall out of the
ring past him. However, the champion is on the ball, and jumps back up on
the ring apron and nails the MTXtravagent! As Dark Knight slowly gets up,
Jay hops out and signals for a second, but in one smooth transition DK counters
it with an atomic drop before nailing the Knightfall out of nothing! 1...2...kick
out at 2.9! An irate Dark Knight goes to the corner, before climbing up
top, seemingly for a moonsault. However, Jay recovers enough to bring him
down, before nailing the Quick Fix from the middle rope! 1...2...another
kick out at 2.9! Both men lie in shock, both having kicked out of each others
finishing manoeuvres. Jay sends DK to the outside, before nailing his inside
to out somersault rana. However, Dark Knight shows a lot of heart by recovering
quickly and taking him out with a uranage on the outside, before rolling
him in and covering for a very near two count! Dark Knight tries once again
for the Knightfall, but Jay counters, flipping out and dropping him with
a full nelson driver, before nailing the double spring moonsault for another
long two count. Jay stands up irate at what he claims is a slow count, before
taking out the referee with a superkick! He turns around right into a lariat
attempt from Dark Knight, but counters, nailing the vertical drop brainbuster!!!
The champion then signals to the crowd, before locking on his new submission
finisher, the Limit Break (half nelson and hammerlock)! He pushes Dark Knight
forward onto one knee, but the referee is not there to see that the challenger
is fading! Jay lets Dark knight drop to the mat almost out cold, before
walking over and trying to revive the referee. As the referee gets to his
feet, Jay turns around, right into a vertical drop brainbuster from Dark
Knight! In what was nearly the ultimate humiliation, Dark Knight gets a
2.9 with Jay's finishing hold! Dark Knight then picks up Jay and drops him
with a Tiger Driver '91 for a 2.9 again, the champion fading quickly! Dark
Knight then makes a final throat cut, before grabbing Jay from behind and
nailing him with a Knightfall with delay, his head bouncing back off the
mat. Dark Knight falls on top of him, the referee counting slowly to three,
as a new champion is crowned!
Winner and new World Champion: Dark
Knight
After
the match: Dark Knight poses on the turnbuckle to huge heat,
as Jay slowly gets up in the ring, looking up at the new champion wondering
where it went wrong. All of a sudden, amidst the celebrations, Akagumi Kimen
run down to ringside and start to assault Dark Knight! The two start to
put a huge beat down on the new champion, before grabbing a chair from ringside
and waffling him down! The crowd pop for this as Jay Hall looks on, unsure
what to make of it, only to get a chair shot himself, followed by an Osaka
Driller from Yajuu-san! Dark Knight slowly gets to his feet, but as he turns
around, Akuma lifts his mask slightly and spits a fireball at him, sending
him back down. The crowd seem shocked and begin to boo some of the actions
of the Japanese duo, when all of a sudden they both begin to disrobe from
their elaborate outfits, revealing regular street clothes underneath. In
a shocking moment, both men grab each other's masks, and rip them off! The
crowd seemed shocked as the assassins are revealed as Steve Hall (Yajuu-san),
and Dark Knight's stable mate, Daniel 'The Devil' Estacado (Akuma)!!! The
crowd start booing heavily as the duo begin to beat on Dark Knight and Jay
Hall, taking both men out with chair shots, before Estacado drops DK with
a Knightfall onto the chair! The duo pose on the turnbuckle, only for Superstar
Shane Sullivan to run out of nowhere and run them out from the ring. Triple
S helps Jay Hall to his feet as the ex-Akagumi Kimen taunt them from the
ramp. Triple S then lays the world title on the fallen Dark Knight as the
show goes off the air, most of the crowd completely confused!
