ref. Speedy Nelson- Brandon P & Kory Chavis defeated Jeremy V & Jason Blackman
The opening bout of the show featured the tag teams of Jeremy V & Jason Blackman facing off against Brandon P & Kory Chavis (formerly known as Rainman). The team of P & Chavis worked well together, proving to be a good solid tag team match. Post match- Chavis and P were attacked by the Devil's Rejects (Iceberg & Azrael) led by Dan Wilson. Owner Jerry Palmer had seen enough and placed the Devil's Rejects in a match at Seasons Beatings against P & Chavis.
ref. Brent Wiley- Jeff Lewis defeated Big Henry Hoss
The returning Hoss faced off against the self proclaimed soon to be 2 time tv champion, Jeff Lewis. Lewis used the ropes to score a pinfall over the big man. Post match- Slim J ran to the ring to stop the beating Lewis was handing out to Hoss. Lewis then grapped Slim J and delivered a vicious drop which landed Slim on his neck. J who appeared to be injured was helped from ringside by Bill Behrens.
ref. Speedy Nelson- Pomp & Circumstance defeated Alabama Attitude's Adam Roberts
Alabama Attitude's music hit but only one member of the team was in the house, Adam Roberts entered the ring and told the crowd and P&C that TC Carnage was not in attendance but that he could take both Tempers & Rockwell on his own. This proved untrue when Shaun Tempers scored the pinfall over Roberts, however there appeared to be some mixed emotions on the part of Ace Rockwell after his partner stole the pin and seemed to showboat after the victory. Could there be troube brewing between Rockwell & Tempers.
Jeff G.Bailey along with the Anarchy heavyweight champion, Mikal Adryan made his way to ringside to talk about Seasons Beatings on 12/30. Bailey commented that Adryan would completely destroy Chad Parham in the heavyweight title match and that Onyx would prove to be sensational with a victory over Jay Fury. However the big surprise came when Bailey revealed the opponent for Todd Sexton, none other than the orignal XTC Jimmy Rave.
ref. Speedy Nelson- Urban Assault Squad defeated Gentleman James Blvd & Ron Jordon
Both Jordon & Blvd are currently wrestling in Mid-Atlantic Xtreme Wrestling and proved to be no match for the Anarchy tag team champions, Shadow Jackson & Nemesis. Post match, Adam Roberts returned to ringside to offer his congrats on well fought match and to demand a title shot for himself and his partner TC Carnage. Jason Blackman & Jeremy V also came to ringside and demanded a match at Seasons Beatings. Ace Rockwell and Shaun Tempers thought that Pomp & Circumstance deserved a title match too. So all four teams will face off at Seasons Beatings for the Anarchy tag team titles.
ref. Brent Wiley- Main Event- Ken Westbrooks & Hayden Young defeated Seth Delay & Patrick Bentley
Good match between four of Anarchy's young lions. Westbrooks and Young have exploded on to the scene in recent months and Delay & Bentley having proven to be a team to watch in the new year, even without Salvatore Rinuaro's guidance. Great match with a clean victory for Westbrooks & Young. Post match Mikal Adryan entered the ring and with the mafia kick on Bentley and took out Delay too, however referees flooded the ringside area to stop the beating. Bailey called out Chad Parham, Parham's music hit and Parham appeared to enter the arena. However, the impersonator turned out to be Todd Sexton, Parham was already in the ring dressed as a referee. Parham quickly went for Adryan who bailed out of the ring and headed to the back. The two men will face off in a heavyweight title match at Seaosns Beatings on 12/30

12/17 NWA Pro Wrestling Evolution Report
By: Larry Goodman
By: Larry Goodman
Biohazard and Jacob Ladder won the “Tournament of Deuces” to become the first PWE tag team champions last night by defeating the former NWA Wildside champions, Tank and Iceberg in the finals.
The thirteen team tournament also featured the PWE debut of former WCW star Allen Funk doing the “Kwee Wee” gimmick. Funk teamed with ex-TNA star Sonny Siaki. Funk looked great in their first round match, but suffered a bicep injury severe enough to force them out of the tournament.
Buff Bagwell produced a solid performance in the main event where he put rising babyface Scott Steel over huge.
A crowd of 175 at the Canton National Guard Armory (doubling the attendance at the November event) was treated to a good show. Not the hottest of crowds by any means, but I can’t fault the product for that. Quality-wise, this was the most consistent show that PWE has produced. There were none of the dead spots that have plagued their previous efforts. It’s not like every match was a mat classic, but at a minimum, but each of them had some redeeming entertainment value. The booking of the tournament left any number of teams as legitimate title challengers. They got the whole thing done in three hours which was also a major plus. There are still some issues to be addressed on the production side. It has a barebones vibe ala IWA Mid-South. The sound system was woefully inadequate, and the lag time between ring introductions was annoying.
Ring announcer Jenn Holbrook opened the show with a 10 bell salute to Eddie Geurrero. She was joined by Executive Consultant/ ex-referee Carl Wilson with the “actual factuals”. Wilson said the NWA BOD had lifted Tank’s suspension. Iceberg and Tank (introduced as the non-existent NWA Georgia champions) had entered the tournament and their credentials had earned them a spot in the finals. Wilson said that Murder One would be allowed to have a partner of his choosing pending the arrival of Kory “Rainman” Chavis (jetting to Canton after working the NWA Anarchy show in Cornelia).
The first round of the tournament consisted of four three-way affairs.
(1) Slaughter Brothers (Johnny & Joe) beat “Nightmare” Ted Allen & Ranger Ross and Notorious D. O. G. & Lamar Phillips in 12:58. Slaughters were the blatant heels. D.O.G. and Phillips were somewhere in between. They double teamed each other. The pairing of Ross and Allen as a babyface legends team worked like a charm. They dominated the early going and the crowd was popping for their offense, especially Ross, who looked very good here. Allen busted out a twisting flying bodypress on Johnny. That was a shocker. Both Slaughter brothers got tagged into the match to set up a clever spot. One brother went for a pin on the other brother and the opposing teams had to jump in to break it up. Finish saw D.O.G dump Ross. But Slaughter dumped D.O.G. and hit a Cradle Shock/top rope elbow combo on Phillips for the pin.
Allen got into a dispute with Ross in the postmatch. Allen turned heel and did so without laying a hand on Ross or using the mic. It was all done with gestures and the way the thing was staged. Nice. They set up a return match with Ross saying he was taking Allen’s mask, and Allen threatening to scalp Ross.
(2) Biohazard & Jacob Ladder beat Darrin Childs & Sidd Murder (with Rachael Putski) and Regular Guys (Tyler Smith & Billy Hill) in 15:38. Putski (formerly known as Rockin Robin) is now billed as the granddaughter of Ivan. She’s a good bit taller than her “grandfather.” This was a good match when Biohazard was in and not so hot otherwise. They kept it interesting via the storyline where Childs is feuding with Ladder and Bio. Ladder is a walking freak show. He’s tatted up like mad, has gaping holes pierced into his ear lobes and “666” on his t-shirt. Regular Guys looked like, well, regular guys and very green ones at that. The match was booked to minimize the negative effects of their inexperience. Hill’s t-shirt read “Tokin’ White Guy.” Biohazard and Ladder beat up Guys for most of match. Childs made a blind tag and Ladder ran away. The woman I call Monkey Lady (she used to bring a toy monkey to Wildside and make obscene gestures with it) pulled Ladder’s beard. Bio got heat on Tokin’ Guy. Childs ended a hot exchange by dropping Bio on his head with a German suplex. Smith was taking it from both teams. Childs hit his finisher on Smith. Ladder went after Childs’ woman. Putski screamed. All hell broke loose. In the confusion, Biohazard pinned Smith with a springboard senton bomb.
Scott Steel entered the ring with Mercedes and cut a promo to set up the main event. He’s looking like Ultimate Warrior minus the face paint these days. Steel was humility personified. Steel talked about Bagwell being one of his favorites and seemed pretty much in awe of the dude.
(3) Murder One & Scott McKinzie beat Hollywood Brunettes (Andrew Alexander & Kyle Matthews with Ken Wallace) and Kid Ego Jr. & Nick Rampage in 10:30. McKinzie, a Texan with good size, was the chosen stand in for Chavis. The few things he did looked solid. Wallace said Chavis had pulled a Michael Jackson by turning white. Wallace’s mic work got “shut the hell up” type heat. Wallace introduced the Brunettes. Naturally, they came out to the intro music that Austin and Pillman used for the Hollywood Blondes gimmick. The early part of the match was a showcase for Ego’s flashy offense. Ego gets it. If only he had a modicum of size. Matthews caught Ego with a turnbuckle hotshot. Brunettes worked over Ego’s neck. Matthews hit a sweet corner dropkick. Ego came back with the move that Jimmy Rave called the Disco 2000 when he was a face. But there was nobody home for Ego’s spectacular corkscrew moonsault. Good build to the hot tag here. Rampage was a suplex machine. Ego and Rampage saw their finisher foiled when Wallace knocked Ego off his perch on the top rope. Rampage went after Wallace. Meanwhile, M-1 and McKinzie dispatched with Alexander and Matthews, and M-1 pinned Ego with the Blazin’ Lariat. The replacement deal pretty much gave away the outcome, but this was a good match.
(4) “Kwee Wee” Allen Funk & Sonny Siaki beat Double Deuce (Frankie Capone & Marcus Dillon) and Black Pegasus & Raddick in 6:20. Funk was in awesome shape and his work was very sharp. He looked like Mr. Clean with the shaved head. Funk showed no visible signs from the incident where he basically had his face crushed (in a match against Siaki) two years ago. Siaki got off his feet bigtime for Pegasus’ aerial attack. Siaki hit a push up press slam for a near fall. Pegasus took a stiff beating from Siaki and Funk. Double Deuce (Pro Wrestling Warfare) got a laugh with their goofy hats, but they didn’t have a stellar night in the ring. Dillon’s stuff looked really weak. They put heat on Siaki, who came back with an Ace crusher. Siaki and Funk tossed Deuce out. Finish saw Siaki superkick the daylights out of Raddick, and Funk finished him with a jumping piledriver. Funk and Siaki made an impressive team. I didn’t see anything to account for Funk’s injury. It was shame that were unable to continue.
Wilson announced that an unknown assailant had beaten Funk to a bloody pulp during the intermission. As a result, Funk and Siaki were out of the tournament, and Blackout would receiving a bye to the finals.
(5) Biohazard & Ladder beat Slaughter Brothers via DQ to advance to the finals (8:55). This was heel vs. heel but fans had a lot more hate for Bio and Ladder. It opened with a solid exchange between Johnny and Bio. Then it was Joe and Ladder’s turn. Ladder went to the outside. Monkey lady momentarily joined Joe for a double team on Ladder before security intervened. Funny stuff. Slaughters hit a legdrop/sideslam combo on Bio. Johnny followed up with a german suplex. Joe went for a series of pin attempts on Ladder. Ladder was late getting out of a backslide. Bio and Ladder were in deep trouble when they were attacked by Childs and Murder. They brawled to the back. The ref DQed Slaughters due to outside interference.
(6) Biohazard & Ladder beat Blackout (Murder One & Kory Chavis) and Tank & Iceberg in an elimination match to become the PWE tag team champions in 19:35. Ladder and Bio came out selling injuries from the brawl that ended the previous match. Chavis did nothing but sell for Tank and Iceberg for the first five minutes. Not my idea of fun. Iceberg took a charging Rhino chest bump into the turnbuckles and then a flip bump into the opposite corner. Iceberg managed to roll out under Biohazard’s swanton bomb. Double tags. Tank and M-1 traded bombs. M-1 hit an Ace crusher. Siaki ran out and blasted M-1 with a chair. M-1 tapped out to Tank’s Anaconda Vise at 9:58. Iceberg took over on Bio with a sidewalk slam and stiff right hand to the jaw. Iceberg hit a quarter ton splash off the middle rope and Bio kicked out~! It broke down into a wild brawl. Bio superkicked Iceberg but the ref was nowhere to be found. He was busy watching Ladder bash Tank with a cookie sheet. Tank started bleeding out of a hole in the middle of his forehead. Bio kicked the crap out of Iceberg for a near fall. Bio came off the apron with a double axe on Tank. They switched dance partners. Tank and Bio sat down in chairs ala Necro Butcher and they smacked the s*** out of each other. It ended with Tank scoring a KO on Biohazard. Ladder got Iceberg up for a german suplex. Ref Joe Dollar got squashed in the corner. Tank hit a Kevin Steen-style package piledriver on Ladder but no ref to count. Biohazard nailed Tank with a chair and made the cover, as Dollar made the groggy three count.
Wilson said the title belts would be presented to Biohazard and Ladder at the January show.
(7) Scott Steel (with Mercedes) beat Buff Bagwell in 15:35. Bagwell did a great job (so to speak) in the role of the bitter, used up ex-hero, and made this about as good as they could have hoped for. Best heat of the night. It wasn’t going to be a wrestling clinic under any circumstances. When the bell rang, Bagwell called for the mic. Said this was his old stomping grounds (Bagwell started out North Georgia Wrestling), but the crowd was giving the love he deserved to that idiot Steel. Bagwell ridiculed Steel’s “golly gee whiz” promo. Bagwell said Steel wasn’t Buff and he wasn’t the stuff. Bagwell confronted a scary looking woman that was giving him hell and threatened to slap the last tooth out of her mouth. Bagwell said that after drooling all over him for fifteen years, the fans were choosing this chump and it was their fault that he was going to take a beating. Bagwell bumped for Steel’s power offense. Bagwell signaled for a time out. Steel fell for the handshake trick, but Steel came right back with a sidewalk slam. Buff bailed. At 8:40, Bagwell got his first offense, a snap neckbreaker, and Steel powered out of the pin. Bagwell started to choke off the big man’s air supply. Bagwell blocked a sunset flip and struck a double biceps pose. Steel pulled Bagwell’s tights down. Bagwell showed off his ass. Steel countered a seat drop with a double knee to the groin. For the second match in a row, we had a ref bump, as Bagwell got whipped into Johnny Boone (the former WCW official who is several cuts about PWE’s other refs). Steel speared Bagwell and hit an FU but no ref to count. When Steel went to Boone’s aid, Bagwell went for the knucks. Bagwell connected. Mercedes hit the ring to prevent the count. Bagwell brought a chair in. Mercedes grabbed it on the backswing and konked Bagwell. 1-2-3. Finish wasn’t the smoothest but it worked. Bagwell put Steel over huge in the postmatch. Said if he had Steel’s height, the sky would have been the limit. Steel admitted that he hadn’t wrestled many high profile opponents, and called it his best match ever. If Steel were to develop his talking and wrestling to the level of his physique, he would be ticketed for stardom. Steels said Bagwell was once on top and now he (Steel) was on the rise. Steel raised Bagwell’s hand to close the show.
NOTES: PWE returns to the Canton National Guard Armory on 1/14 with “Disco Inferno” Glen Gilberti on the card…PWE plans to run a building in Rome every other Friday night with a tentative start date of 1/24…PWE is also exploring the possibility of getting television in Rome…Phil Heffner’s NAWA has resurfaced in Trion, Ga running Thursday night shows at the Thompson Auction Center… in what promises to be one of the stiffest encounters of 2005 or any other year, Tank faces Samoa Joe on 12/30 at IWA Mid-South’s Strong Style tournament…Jenn Holbrook has a birthday coming up on 12/22...There was a rumor circulating that Siaki had signed with WWE.
The thirteen team tournament also featured the PWE debut of former WCW star Allen Funk doing the “Kwee Wee” gimmick. Funk teamed with ex-TNA star Sonny Siaki. Funk looked great in their first round match, but suffered a bicep injury severe enough to force them out of the tournament.

Said if he had Steel’s height, the sky would have been the limit. Steel admitted that he hadn’t wrestled many high profile opponents, and called it his best match ever. If Steel were to develop his talking and wrestling to the level of his physique, he would be ticketed for stardom. Steels said Bagwell was once on top and now he (Steel) was on the rise. Steel raised Bagwell’s hand to close the show.

NWA Virginia Heavyweight Title Match Focus of This Week's Episode!
(Chesterfield, Va) NWA Virginia's weekly internet show THE ACTION ZONE features another in a series of matches between Heavyweight Champion 'Heatmiser' Scotty Blaze and former Champion 'Mr. Mid Atlantic' Damian Wayne. The match originates from Roanoke at the Star City Skate Center! It is the ONLY match of the episode, as it takes up over 30 minutes of action!
Scotty Blaze won the belt from Damian Wayne in Sugar Grove, and has successfully defended it against Wayne in rematches, as well as against fellow Old School Empire members 'Simply Perfect' Preston Quinn, and Frank 'The Tank' Parker, as well as The Barbarian, 'Vindicator' Mike Vaughn, ICE, 'Mourning Star' Brandon Day and Stan 'The Man' Lee. Blaze and Wayne wrestled in NWA Virginia's very first cage match, which took place in Atkins during the final stop of the Great Virginia Bash Tour, '05.
Many experts predicted this was Wayne's last shot at regaining the belt as the contenders behind Blaze, including Alpha Champion 'Mourning Star' Brandon Day, were anxious to get rematches, or even get first cracks at the title.
The match was turned into an anything goes, no disqualification match, and as is the norm between these two, was as violent as allowed in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

SHOW NEWS & NOTES
Pro Wrestling Express made it's long awaited return to the Palisades in McKeesport on Saturday December 17th with the final event of the 2005 season. A great crowd turns out for the show, which was very vocal all night long. The management of the facility was very happy with the great crowd on hand, and the professionalism of the lockerroom and staff at the event, and the partnership between PWX and the Palisades this winter looks to be a great one!
The first match of the night was a battleroyal, with the winner earning the last entry (more than likely 30th) in the upcoming 'Burgh Brawl on March 4th. Almost the entire lockerroom was involved in this fight, and current PWX Heavyweight Champion Crusher Hansen was on hand to observe the match. The final four men in the match were the Tri Chi Fraternity's "Hammer" Sam Slej, the Armageddon tag team, and 987's Scott Venom. Armageddon attacked Hammer as Venom waited, but Hammer quickly disposed of the duo with a double clothesline over the top rope. Hansen made his way to ringside as Venom went after Hammer, but Hammer eventually just caught Venom as he attempted a flying body press, and dumped him to the outside with a fallaway slam. The crowd popped great for Hammer, who has been proving to be a very popular singles competitor in recent weeks.
After the match Scott Venom returned to the ring with the rest of 987 in tow, and said that him and Damien Stockholm had decided a few things. First, he said that Hammer cheated his way to winning that battle royal, so they were going to square off again later in a singles match. Venom guaranteed he would win this, to show Hammer's victory was only a fluke. Venom then said that it was sad to hear that Quinn Magnum was not there to defend that tag team titles tonight, because his wife had recently given premature birth to his first son. Venom said that Magnum had his priorities completely screwed up, and that he was going to force Brandon K to defend the titles by himself against Armageddon and Da Munchies. Venom said that if Apocalypse wanted to prove they deserved main event caliber matches, then they had their shot tonight. Venom also stated that if Da Munchies wanted a shot at getting their titles back, they were laid out on a silver platter tonight.
A trios tag team match was next, pitting a group of emerging fan favorites against Apocalypse. Dan Miles, Sabotage, and Teddy Fine came to the ring to a great reaction, followed by the entire Apocalypse stable, who circled the ring. Devil Bhudakahn and Armageddon walked away from ringside to the entrance way, leaving Jake Garrett, Mantis666, and Eisen Drache in the ring. The match started out with some solid chain wrestling from Miles, Sab, Mantis and Drache, but when Fine and Garrett squared off they traded some sick forearm shots and the match started to break down into a brawl. After a ton of dives to the outside, Apocalypse was in control of Sabotage, and started to work him over in their corner. Drache and Mantis would continue to try to hit fancy moves on Sab, with Garrett demanding they go for the pin, and them just blowing him off. Bhudakahn yelled for Garrett to take control, but Mantis and Drache continued to tag back and forth with each other, and feeding Sabotage to CJ Sensation at ringside. Finally Sab countered out of a hold by Drache and made the tag to Miles, who started to clear house until Drache took him out with a knee kick. Rather than work on the knee, Drache continued to just play around with Miles, and Garrett was visibly pissed. Finally Miles made a tag to Fine and the match started to break down, and referee Shawn Patrick had trouble maintaining order. Drache attempted to powerbomb the bigger Fine, but was unable to get him up, and was met with a nasty missile dropkick from Miles, and Drache at the pinfall. Garrett and Bhudakahn blasted Drache for the loss, and as the fan favorites celebrated, Armageddon attacked, and all of Apocalypse joined in.
Nikita Allanov walked to the ring, and Bhudakahn and Garrett bailed. Allanov took out Armageddon with a double clothesline, and then laid out Drache and Mantis. Allanov got the mic and said that he had undergone an attitude change after a lot of thinking, and decided that a lot of people had a lot of hell to pay. Allanov then called out 987, and asked the fans if they wanted to see him take the Heavyweight Title from Crusher Hansen, which got a good reaction from the crowd.
The Triple Treat Handicap Tag Team Championship match was next, with Brandon K defending the titles against four men. The first pinfall wins, and K started out against Rapture. Dick Trimmins made a blind tag to K and got in the ring, and both Da Munchies and Armageddon effectively worked to freeze K out of the match. K distracted the referee as much as he could from ringside, and the fans tried to get behind him, but he was just not involved much in the match. Armageddon looked very sloppy in the match, and they tried to isolate Trimmins, but Trimmins finally made the tag to Sheiky Hassan, and he cleaned house with Rapture and Revelation. Sheiky stumbled back into the corner and K tagged himself back in. He quickly nailed both Rapture and Revelation with leg lariats, then knocked both Trimmins and Hassan off the apron. K went up top and nailed Rapture with a swan dive headbutt, and got the pinfall to retain the titles. 987 immediately hit the ring and started to work K over, but with Magnum and Mad Mike both missing, no one from Rage was able to help him. Da Munchies, who have issues with both 987 and Rage, hit the ring and went at it with 987, which allowed K to slide out and hobble back to the lockerroom as Da Munchies fell to superior numbers in the ring. After 987 left, Trimmins got the mic and demanded the same thing that Quinn Magnum has been asking for - a weapons match with 987 and Rage, only with Da Munchies in it as well, and the tag titles on the line.
After intermission, Scott Venom took on the "Hammer" Sam Slej in a match that saw the crowd solidly behind Hammer the whole way. Damien Stockholm and Crusher Hansen were at ringside with Venom, so QB Blitzz was at ringside with his fellow Tri Chi to even things out. Hammer had superior size and strength to Venom, and it showed early with Hammer dominating Venom. Venom however dipped into his bag of dirty tricks to even things out. Stockholm continued to distract official Shawn Patrick at ringside, while Hansen got in as many cheap shots as he could, before Blitzz would break things up. Finally Venom got caught and Hammer took back over, and after nailing Venom with the overhead slam for the second time that night, was setting him up for his double powerbomb finisher. Suddenly Devil Bhudakahn ran out from the lockerroom and blasted Blitzz from behind with a stop sign, and Bhudakahn and Armageddon laid a beating into Blitzz. Hammer came to the aid of his partner, and a brawl ensued on the outside. As the Tri Chi's and Apocalypse brawled to the back, Venom got the win in the ring when Patrick counted Hammer out.
Bigg had been trying to get his hands on a member of 987 for awhile, and he finally got his shot against Chris Taylor. Taylor started off trying to control Bigg, and as usual Damien Stockholm was interfering every change he could, but Bigg looked really sharp and was a raging bull, just tossing Taylor around every time he had his hands on him. Stockholm slipped Taylor a foreign object, and as Bigg went for a his pump handle slam finisher, Taylor clocked him with it and got the pinfall. Taylor was in a bad position to get the object back to Stockholm though, and he tried to just lay on top of it. When referee Shawn Patrick went to raise his hand though, he saw Taylor try to kick the object away, and picked it up, and immediately reversed the decision, awarding the match to Bigg by disqualification.
The main event of the evening was the "Ultimate Resolution" match - featuring seven wrestlers in a unique elimination match. Nikita Allanov started off against Devin Devine, and after an exchange of holds, Devin took control of Allanov's arm. Allanov managed to get on top of Devine, hitting a double stomp to the chest before locking on an octopus hold. Two minutes were up, and Paul Atlas hit the ring, and went right after Allanov. Devine and Atlas then went to town on Allanov for two minutes, until Brandon K hit the ring, evening the score. K was a little slowed by his exchange form 987 earlier in the night, but he was house-a-fire and cleared the ring quickly. Atlas went back after K as Devine worked over Allanov in the corner. The match would stay as a four way until a pinfall was earned. Atlas took control of Allanov after a nasty kneelift, and dumped him to the outside. K tried to fight off Atlas, but Devine managed to nail K with his Aborted Fetus Drop, and got the first pinfall of the match. Brass Knuckles Champion Devil Bhudakahn hit the ring and was immediately met by Atlas, who went toe-to-toe with him on the outside while Devine worked over Allanov in the ring. Allanov managed to bust Devine's mouth wide open with a Russian Sickle, but Bhudakahn went for the pinfall. Allanov broke it up, but Atlas went for a superkick, which Allanov ducked. Allanov nailed Atlas with a bridged German Suplex, and got the pinfall, which brought Three Rivers Champion Eric Extasy into the match. Extasy went right after Devine, who was bleeding big time from the mouth, and Bhudakahn went after Allanov. Allanov was completely gassed at this point, having been in this very physical match since the beginning. Bhudakahn's speed was keeping Allanov down, but somehow he managed to nail the "Anti-Christ Luchador" with a massive powerbomb, but was unable to capitalize. Extasy went for the cover, but Devine broke it up. Extasy and Bhudakahn then began to fight, and Devine, who was half out on his feet, staggered over to Allanov for an exchange. Bhudakahn was on the offensive, and Extasy somehow turned a rana attempt into his patented STD, and got the pinfall, bringing Heavyweight Champion Crusher Hansen into the match. Hansen's title was on the line here, and he went right after the weakest man in the match, Allanov, with his 987 mate Devine. Extasy then went after Devine, and Hansen lit up Allanov in the corner. Allanov chopped back, but Hansen dumped him to the floor. Hansen started playing to the fans, and it gave Allanov a chance to go after Hansen. Hansen suplexed Allanov on the floor and then left him for dead, going after Extasy in the ring with Devine. Extasy was on the receiving end of some nasty chops from Hansen, who was fresh as a daisy, and just pounding on the "Sexual Icon". Allanov managed to make it back to the apron, and Hansen went after him, and Extasy hit Devine with a brutal chokeslam out of nowhere, and got the pin on Devine, who was nearly out cold. Hansen drug Allanov back in the ring and nailed a brutal lariat, followed by a Crusher Slam, and Allanov was pinned, leaving the Three Rivers Champion alone in the ring with Heavyweight Champion Hansen. Damien Stockholm was at ringside with Hansen, and Krystal Frost with Extasy. Extasy was exhausted, but the crowd rallied behind him, and Frost pounded the mat to get the fans making as much noise for Extasy as possible. Hansen and Extasy had a brutal exchange of chops, and was giving back just as much as Hansen was giving. It is impossible to describe just how physical these two men were, as they just began hitting some of the stiffest exchanges in recent memory. Finally Hansen seemed to have Extasy down, and laid in with a Garvin Stomp. Extasy staggered to his feet and Hansen nailed a brutal lariat, and called for a Crusher Slam. Somehow Extasy managed to slip out of the slam, and rolled Hansen up, but only got a two count. Hansen nailed Extasy with a brutal kick, and then managed to nail him with a nasty powerbomb. Extasy somehow managed to kick out, possibly earning the loudest pop of the night. Hansen continued to brutalize Extasy, and attempting another powerbomb. This time Hansen couldn't hold Extasy up, and Hansen crashed to the mat. Extasy managed to get a two count by virtue of being on top, but had nothing left. Extasy somehow staggered to his feet, but an attempted at an STD just led to Hansen nailing Extasy with a Jackhammer, and getting a pinfall, to retain the title. Both men were on their backs as the bell rang. 987's Chris Taylor and Stockholm helped Hansen from the ring, and Krystal Frost tended to Extasy in the ring. This was a brutal and physical match, and is a clear indication of what is expected of a Pro Wrestling Express main event - physicality.

It is impossible to describe just how physical these two men were, as they just began hitting some of the stiffest exchanges in recent memory. Finally Hansen seemed to have Extasy down, and laid in with a Garvin Stomp. Extasy staggered to his feet and Hansen nailed a brutal lariat, and called for a Crusher Slam. Somehow Extasy managed to slip out of the slam, and rolled Hansen up, but only got a two count. Hansen nailed Extasy with a brutal kick, and then managed to nail him with a nasty powerbomb. Extasy somehow managed to kick out, possibly earning the loudest pop of the night. Hansen continued to brutalize Extasy, and attempting another powerbomb. This time Hansen couldn't hold Extasy up, and Hansen crashed to the mat. Extasy managed to get a two count by virtue of being on top, but had nothing left. Extasy somehow staggered to his feet, but an attempted at an STD just led to Hansen nailing Extasy with a Jackhammer, and getting a pinfall, to retain the title. Both men were on their backs as the bell rang. 987's Chris Taylor and Stockholm helped Hansen from the ring, and Krystal Frost tended to Extasy in the ring. This was a brutal and physical match, and is a clear indication of what is expected of a Pro Wrestling Express main event - physicality.
