PWX began the night with a solemn 10 bell salute in memory of Ultimate Warrior.
The Independent Sports Entertainment Society (I.S.E.S.) was in actual first as Worst Case Scenario (Ethan Case & Eljah Evans IV) def “Sho Smoove” Chris Lea & Labron Kozone w/ a tag team jackhammer.
Trevor Lee def ‘Cauliflower’ Chase Brown when Tessa Blanchard (who was cheering Brown on) was pushed down by Trevor and Chase caught a running knee after checking on the fallen female.
‘Manscout’ Jake Manning def ‘Mr Match of the night’ Anthony Henry w/ a pile driver after Henry’s new valet distracted him inadvertently.
‘The Southern Savior’ John Skyler defeated Andrew Everett by count out after a vicious DDT on the floor.
‘Mr. Elite’ Drew Myers & ‘Son of the South’ Billy Brash def ‘The Party Manimal’ Zane Riley & ITV Champion Lance Lude when Myers pinned Riley with a bridging German Suplex.
PWX Tag Champs Los Ben Dejos (Jay Rios & Jay Cruz) retained their titles in a “wild match” defeating Country Jacked (Corey Hollis & Adam Page) when Cruz pinned Page with a rollup reversal out of a doomsday device attempt.
Cedric Alexander def PWX Champ Caleb Konley via DQ in a chaotic finish, Konley pulled Sr referee Mitch Blalock in front of him as Alexander went for Kick 2 Kill. A second ref came out, Cedric hit the bran buster and as the second ref counted 3, Blalock awoke & disqualified the champ. After the match, Cedric attacked the PWX champ and the locker room cleared trying to break up the brawl, the night ended with Cedric delivering a head kick to PWX owner Brian Kanabroski.
My favorite match of the night was probably the Tag Title match, but there were no bad matches, everything was at least enjoyable. Finish to the main event came off really poorly I thought though. Didn’t ruin the match but did really hurt it. Referee Mitch was laying in the corner for what seemed like ten minutes while the match continued before coming to and changing the decision. Still a very good show.
