Dark Dragon vs. Diablo Slayer
Exhibition: Singles
The two men circle each other in the ring, preparing to put on the match to end all matches. The crowd is going WILD as they head for the concession stands, bathrooms, and outside to smoke. The two men lock up and the fatter larger man, Diablo Slayer, gets an early advantage, backing Dark Dragon into the corner. The ref counts and both men make a clean break. Who does that? Diablo Slayer goees for a clothesline, but Dragon shows some surprising agility, ducking it, then nailing Diablo Slayer with a swift kick to the ribs. Diablo sells the strike like death, immediately falling to the mat, groaning in pain. Dragon would look suprised if you could see his face, but he wears that f*cking rediculous mask all the time. He hesitates a few moments before lifting Diablo Slayer to his feet and going for a dragon suplex! But he can't complete the motion and ends up crushed under the weight of the man from hell. Diablo Slayer goes for the cover. ONE. TWO. ZOMGNO. Dark Dragon kicks out.
Diablo Slayer, looking gassed, gets to his feet and goes for a senton splash, but Dark Dragon rolls out of the way and Slayer catches nothing but canvas. And it's a good thing this ring is covered in canvas because both of these men are wrestling ARTISTS. Dark Dragon circles the slowly rising Diablo Slayer and promptly kicks him directly in the face. Dragon heads out of the ring and goes for a chair, sliding into the ring with it, closing it around Diablo Slayer's head. This is going to be a disqualification if he goes ahead with this. Dragon heads to the top rope and looks around at the dozen or so screaming fans. He leaps from the top and comes down with a vicious double stomp driving his feet into the mat! Oh my god, Diablo Slayer could be dead! Except Dark Dragon missed the double stomp completely and Diablo Slayer is back to his feet, chair still on his head as he goes for the Voice Quieter! But he can't complete the flip and he falls on his ass, driving the chair into the back of his own head. Jesus. Dark Dragon looks around and with the shiftiest of shifty eyes, goes for the pin.
1. 2. 3. It's over.
Hearing the bell, the fans return to their seats and proceed to boo the sh*t out of both men. Fun.
Winner, via Pinfall: Dark Dragon
Brad Regan vs. Chris Fallon
Exhibition: Singles
The match kicks off at an incredible pace, with both Fallon and Regan throwing themselves right into it. Regan is determined to show that conversion isn’t the way, but Fallon is equally committed to pleasing his master. Regan manages to gain the upper hand, dropping Fallon to the mat with a well-placed Yakuza Kick, before locking in a Dragon Clutch. Fallon quickly fights his way out of the submission, and after breaking the hold, he shoots Regan with a hard throat thrust, sending him staggering backwards, which gives Fallon time to stand up. Regan quickly rushes Fallon before he can recover fully, and ducks the clothesline that Fallon throws, rushing around and nailing Fallon with a Full Nelson Suplex! Regan tries to move for a Dragon Clutch again, but Fallon quickly recovers, and throws a stiff kick to Regan’s midsection, before twisting and kicking Regan in the head with a Spinning Heel Kick. Fallon doesn’t waste a second though, as he quickly jumps up to the top rope, and launches himself off, landing a brilliant moonsault! Fallon goes for the cover… 1… 2… kickout! Regan is determined not to be beaten, and as he slowly gets to his feet, Fallon moves in for what would seem to be the killer blow as he goes for The Tempest… but Regan elbows his way out, and whips Fallon to the ropes. As Fallon comes back, he goes for a spinning heel kick, but Regan catches it… Green Revolution! Fallon hits the mat hard, and Regan, exhausted, crawls over and grabs the 3 count.
Winner, via Pinfall: Brad Regan
SJ Angel vs. Zack Wicked
Exhibition: Singles
Angel comes into this match looking to exact some revenge on Wicked, who celebrated his return to PWW by reliving the events of the past few months. Wicked is by far the more happy of the pair, but Angel has a look of determination to go with the new cut on his wrist. The two lock up, and Wicked makes his size advantage known by whipping Angel to the ropes, and knocking him down with a stiff clothesline. Angel quickly jumps back to his feet, only to be knocked down by another… and another... before Wicked slams him down hard with a huge powerslam. Angel takes a second to clear his head of cobwebs before getting back up, and catching Wicked unawares with a quick dropkick! Wicked falls out the ring, but is quickly back to his feet, just to see Angel launch himself over the ropes, smashing into Wicked with a Springboard Crossbody variant. The two men roll around, obviously in pain, and the ref starts his count. As he reaches 6, both men have managed to crawl back into the ring, and the two start to exchange punches as they get back to their feet, and as they reach vertical, they really start swinging, and the match descends into pretty much a fist fight. Angel manages to grab the upperhand, nailing Wicked with a Tae-Kwon-Do Side Kick, and following up with an Uranage Backbreaker! As Wicked rolls around the ring in pain, grasping his back, Angel tries to lock in the Great Depression… but Wicked somehow manages to fight his way free before it can be locked in. Wicked slowly gets to his feet, and Angel goes for another Tae-Kwon-Do Side Kick, but Wicked is expecting it, and he parries it away, only for Angel to whip around with a Jumping Calf Kick, then send Wicked crashing to the mat with a Northern Lights Suplex… before locking in the Great Depression! Wicked can’t fight it off now, and it’s only a matter of time before he has to tap, giving Angel the fluke victory is talked about.
Winner, via Submission: SJ Angel
Mike Vista vs. Bryan Murkin
Exhibition: Singles
As this match starts off, Vista and Murkin begin circling each other, looking for a weak point or an opportunity. After a few moments of this, the two lock up, with Vista quickly locking in a hammerlock, but Murkin reverses, locking in one of his own. Vista quickly gets out of the hold, and the two lock up again, this time Murkin sends Vista to the ropes, and going for a clothesline as he comes back. Vista ducks this, and bounces off the ropes again, only to be nailed in the gut with a kitchen sink by Murkin. Winded, Vista falls to his knees, which allows Murkin to drag him back to his feet, before sending Vista back down with a quick reverse suplex. Murkin then follows up with a Cobra Clutch, and Vista fights the pain, struggling against the submission, before somehow knocking Murkin off-balance, giving Vista the opportunity to break the hold and get back to his feet. The two begin circling each other again, and lock up, and Vista quickly knees Murkin in the gut, then drills him into the mat with a DDT. Murkin recovers quickly however, and manages to duck a clothesline attempt, before countering with a HUGE Yakuza kick to Vista’s face! Vista is dazed, and takes a few steps backwards, and Murkin quickly takes the advantage, punching Vista in the gut, before executing a stalling brainbuster. The two lie on the mat, fatigue beginning to creep in, and Murkin covers Vista… 1, 2… kickout! Vista isn’t out of this yet, and Murkin knows it. Murkin drags Vista to his feet, and begins throwing Haymakers at Vista, knocking him back several steps, and Murkin attempts to whip Vista to the ropes, only for it to be reversed, and nailed with a sidewalk slam! Vista covers, but can only get a 2-count. The two are exhausted now, and they slowly get to their feet, and begin exchanging punches, and Murkin gains the upperhand when he smacks Vista in the face with a Haymaker. Vista is dazed yet again, and staggers backwards holding his face. Murkin moves to whip Vista to the ropes, but Vista reverses… Lights! Vista nails Murkin with a Half Nelson Bulldog! Murkin slowly gets up… Camera! Vista’s knee smashes into Murkin’s face, sending him spinning back groggily… Actio – no! Murkins reverses the finishing move, grabbing hold of Vista… The Contract Killing! Vista crashes to the mat, and an exhausted Murkin crawls over for the cover… 1… 2… 3!
Winner, via Pinfall: Bryan Murkin
Miguel Martinez vs. Tommy Riggs
Exhibition: Single
Riggs toys with Martinez in the beginning and asks him if he wants to do a knuckle lock. The obviously taller Riggs holds his hand really high, so Martinez goes low with a kick. Riggs is stunned, but he grins, sort of appreciating his opponent’s wit. They lock up, with Riggs forcing Martinez into the corner, and he slowly backs off, mocking honor. Riggs exudes arrogance now. Another lock-up sees Riggs do the same thing, but this time Martinez connects with a hard right to the jaw. Riggs gets rocked, and Martinez follows with some kicks and delivers a nice wheel kick that takes Tommy off his feet. That one got a one count before Riggs gets to his feet. He swings at Martinez, but the quick Mexican superstar avoids collision and connects with a springboard moonsault press on Riggs for a two count.
Riggs quickly grows frustrated and rolls out of the ring. He grabs his glass liquor bottle and takes a swig, finding some liquid courage. He returns to the ring, still drinking. The referee tries to grab the bottle from him, but Riggs shoves him out of the way. Martinez, who is distracted by the cheering of the fans at ringside, is bludgeoned from behind with the glass bottle, which shatters all over the ring! Martinez falls to the mat with a thud-like sound.
Result: No Contest
Aftermath:
Riggs begins to pummel Martinez in the forehead, busting him open… one would imagine. He’s masked, but I’m sure it’s left a cut. Before Riggs can inflict more pain, “Dhoom Machale” hits and Hindustani appears. He rushes to the ring, but Riggs quickly grabs Martinez and places the pointed glass against his neck, preparing to cut him. Hindustani immediately realizes and backs off, pleading with Riggs. Riggs yells at him to take one step closer before laughing maniacally and driving the glass into Martinez’s forehead. Hindustani’s had enough and slides in the ring, but Riggs quickly bolts and heads out, leaving behind the bloodied Martinez, who is consoled by Hindustani…
Alex Michaels vs. Aaron Alexander
Exhibition: Single
The former PWW Traditional Champion is set to go head-to-head with the debuting Alexander tonight. A quick exchange of leverage in the early-going results in Michaels taking Alexander down to the mat and applying an arm lock. Michaels applies some pressure before Alexander gets back to his feet and twists his arm into a hammerlock. The two men show some technical skill as Alex’s new valet, Kayleigh, cheers for him at ringside. Michaels eventually takes Alexander down to the mat with a snapmare. Michaels applies a rear chinlock to Kayleigh’s delight, but Aaron manages to get back to his feet and fight out of it. He fires a few kicks to the stomach of Michaels and nails a snap suplex. Alexander gets a two count off that move. Michaels seems to be in trouble for a moment, but he manages to regain the momentum with a stiff back kick to the stomach and a bulldog. It looked as though Michaels was going for a low blow, but decided against it… Kayleigh is cheering him on as he climbs to the top rope… PICTURE-PERFECT ELBOW! That one seals it for the Climax.
Winner, via Pinfall: Alex Michaels
Aftermath
Michaels and Kayleigh celebrate on the outside, and we cut to the back, where an enraged Tristan Novak can be seen spewing profanities before we cut to commercial.
Tristan Novak vs. Rob Cavallo
Exhibition: Singles
Novak and Cavallo are eager to get going. These two have no love lost whatsoever, and the exchange of forearms and chops in the beginning certainly shows that. Novak whips Cavallo off to the ropes and telegraphs a back bodydrop. Cavallo nails a nice kick but misses a discus clothesline and gets planted with a back suplex. The crowd is already into the action as the two men are really tearing into each other. Novak connects with a few forearms to the jaw, but Cavallo retaliates with some slaps to the face. Rob nails a chop to the chest and stuns Novak enough to take him down with a snapmare and viciously kick him in the back. Cover by Robbie gets two. Cavallo keeps Novak grounded with a rear chinlock as he spits at various members of the crowd, causing boos. Novak battles back to his feet and takes Cavallo down with a modified wheelbarrow facebuster, as best I can describe the innovative move. The crowd pops as Cavallo does a face plant. Novak screams at Cavallo to get up and tears into him with some punches. He’s obviously venting on Cavallo due to the whole Kayleigh situation.
As if right on cue, Alex Michaels appears on the entryway to a chorus of boos from the fans. He looks at the action as Novak knocks Cavallo down with a pair of clotheslines. He spots his nemesis and gets to the ropes, yelling profane words at him. Cavallo takes advantage by clubbing Novak in the back of the head and nailing a reverse DDT for two. Rob climbs to the top rope and tries one of his many high-risk moves, but he misses as Novak moves out of the way. Novak doubles Cavallo over for the Dublin Destroyer, but suddenly Kayleigh appears on stage, urging Michaels to return to the back. Novak lets Cavallo go and has some choice words for his ex, which results in Michaels and Novak yelling. Cavallo tries to take advantage with a prawn hold, but only gets two. Cavallo goes for the Sonic Boom, but Novak ducks under the swinging kick and grabs Cavallo’s leg, twisting him to the mat with a dragon screw. Novak rolls Cavallo up and gets two.
Michaels tries to calm Kayleigh down on the outside, and Novak takes advantage by running to the ropes and jumping through with a dropkick to Michaels, sending him crashing to the floor. Kayleigh attends her client as Cavallo charges Novak. Tristan pulls the top rope down and Cavallo flips over, accidentally crashing into Kayleigh! The fans gasp as Kayleigh falls to the floor from the collision. Cavallo looks at her as Michaels gets to his feet and begins yelling at his friend. Novak grabs Cavallo and pulls him back onto the apron. Rob reverses a suplex into a cutter over the ropes, stunning Novak. The Future springs off the top rope and nails a huracarrana on Novak for two. Darius Falcon suddenly rushes to ringside to a pop from the crowd and grabs Michaels and begins wailing on him. These two have no love lost either, and the crowd is going crazy as they get two fights for the price of one. Cavallo goes to the ropes and yells at Falcon to leave. Michaels and Falcon are still brawling, and Novak quickly grabs Cavallo from behind, rolling him into a cradle for the pin!
Winner, via Pinfall: Tristan Novak
Aftermath
The crowd cheers as Novak shoves Cavallo out of the way and slingshots over the top rope. He tries to crash on Michaels, but Falcon ends up taking the brunt of the move. Michaels quickly grabs Kayleigh, scoops her up, and heads to the back. Falcon and Novak are to their feet and engage in a shoving match. Cavallo arrogantly walks over and pretends to try to break it up, infuriating both men with his dick-like nature. Novak and Falcon both punch Cavallo, knocking him to the floor. Falcon points to Cavallo, telling him off as he backpedals up the ramp and yells to Michaels to wait up… What a crazy situation.
The JoZ vs Malice
Exhibition: Single
With no love lost between these two, it surprises nobody that JoZ and Malice take each other to task, hitting each other with lots of stiff blows, harsh kicks and lots of dirty tactics. JoZ's height and weight advantage are not as useful as he would like them to be, as Malice's sheer fury is enough to keep him in the fight.
Malice hits an especially harsh DDT on JoZ and begins just firing mounted forearms into JoZ's head. The referee interrupts Malice after a few moments, which only enrages him even further. While Malice argues with the referee, JoZ hits a low blow from behind and then lifts Malice up with a reverse suplex! He goes for a cover, but Malice slips his foot onto the bottom rope and the count is broken. JoZ pulls Malice to his feet and hits him hard with a haymaker which sends him backwards. JoZ goes for another, but Malice blocks it and dives forward with a shoulder block right into the gut of JoZ, which doubles him over. Malice hits several very hard chops across the back of JoZ's neck and shoulders before running against the ropes and taking JoZ down with a running DDT! JoZ looks unresponsive at first, but he kicks out after a pin and a two count! Malice pulls JoZ to his feet, looking to continue the punishment, but JoZ hits a stiff knee to Malice's gut, and he shoots Malice to a far corner. JoZ begins waving his hands in the air, making a motion toward him.
From behind the curtain, the massive form of Dimitri is seen lumbering down the ramp. The crowd is uncertain of what to think as the Russian Monster makes his way to the ring. JoZ runs at Malice in the corner and nails him with a Spear, driving the wind out of his opponent. Dimitri enters the ring, and the referee admonishes him to exit, but he is clearly terrified of Dimitri's size. JoZ shouts something into the face of Malice and then shoots him into Dimitri who promptly grabs Malice and then delivers a punishing Powerbomb!! The referee calls for the bell, and this match is over.
Winner, via Disqualification: Malice
Aftermath:
JoZ and Dimitri continue to beat down Malice in the middle of the ring, taunting him and kicking at him when the crowd cheers as...AJ Cross runs down the ramp! Cross charges JoZ immediately and begins wailing on him with fists and forearms and anything he can muster! JoZ is driven back into a corner, taken by surprise from the attack. But JoZ doesn't have to wait long as Dimitri grabs Cross from behind and with one hand around Cross' throat, tosses him out of the ring!! Dimitri exits the ring to follow Cross and JoZ, seeing Malice having stood up, runs at him and kicks him square in the head with a Yakuza Kick! JoZ continues the trash talking, but another big pop goes up...mostly in surprise as RODERICK F*CKING BROOKES runs down the ramp, chair in hand!! Brookes enters the ring and smacks JoZ across the shoulders with the chair. JoZ turns around and tries to defend himself, but is met with another chair shot across his arms and face, causing him to stagger backwards and fall through the ropes. Brookes isn't done yet though as he slides outside and targets Dimitri. Brookes takes the chair and slams it into the back of the knees of the Russian Monster! Dimitri yells in pain, and turns to attack his aggressor, but he, too, is met with a chair across the face! Dimitri isn't stupid though, and he begins backing away, using his long, thick arms to block any further chair strikes. Brookes shouts at JoZ and Dimitri, as Malice looks on from the ring and Cross slowly rises to his feet and a massive staredown ensues.
Dimitri vs. Blake Hades (c)
Single: PWW Heavyweight Championship
Falls Count Anywhere Match
After the events that just unfolded, one has to wonder just how Dimitri will fare against the Champion. From the minute the bell sounds, the crafty Hades focuses on the knees and legs of Dimitri, knowing full well that Dimitri was just on the receiving end of a nice healthy dose of aluminum.
Dimitri is clearly affected by the attack, as he moves slower than normal. Of course, facing a guy like Hades doesn't help!
Hades uses many quick strikes and attacks to keep Dimitri at bay. Dimitri goes for a lumbering clothesline, but misses, and Hades capitalizes with a nice dropkick to the back of the knees, sending Dimitri down. Hades charges Dimitri and nails him with a flying shoulder block, which sends Dimitri to the mat! Hades attempts to put Dimitri in a leg grapevine, but Dimitri is too strong and kicks Hades into a corner. Dimitri pulls himself up and Hades runs at him to try and keep the offense going, but Dimitri grabs him in mid run and hits him with a stiff Powerslam! Dimitri goes for a cover, but only a very lax one, and Hades kicks out at 2. Dimitri is enraged and goes to pull Hades to his feet, but Hades rolls out of the way, and fires a kick into the right knee of Dimitri, slowing him down further. Hades runs off the ropes and hits Dimitri square in the nose with a flying elbow, but Dimitri doesn't go down.
Meanwhile, a chorus of boos goes up as JoZ makes his way down the ramp. The referee yells at JoZ not to repeat the actions of earlier, but JoZ just stares at Hades. He makes a gesture to his own waist, as if to say "That belt will be mine" but Hades actually exits the ring and talks trash to JoZ. Hades threatens JoZ to hit him, knowing that while he can't get counted out, he can still win by DQ. JoZ just points upward, and Dimitri pulls Hades up onto the apron. JoZ stares on, smirking as Dimitri suplexes Hades into the ring, but a cheer comes up from the crowd as who should reappear but AJ Cross! Cross hits JoZ from behind, and the two begin brawling on the outside of the ring. Dimitri stares at his apparent partner, but does not exit as he wants that title. Unfortunately for him, in his distraction, Hades has climbed up to the top rope and flies off, nailing Dimitri in the head with a Missile Dropkick!! Dimitri falls to the mat, clutching his head. Hades isn't satisfied however, as he climbs up to the top rope once more, and dives off with a Corkscrew Splash!!! Hades covers the Russian Monster and is cheered as the three count is delivered.
Winner, via Pinfall, and STILL PWW Heavyweight Champion: Blake Hades
Aftermath
JoZ stares at his fallen comrade (no pun intended) and enters the ring as Hades exits with his title. AJ Cross makes his way up the ramp as Dimitri and JoZ glare daggers at Hades who only grins and flashes his title in their general direction as War comes to a close.
***********
Another on-time War from your pal and mine (What?), me.
Hope ya'll enjoy it!!

Novak and Cavallo are eager to get going. These two have no love lost whatsoever, and the exchange of forearms and chops in the beginning certainly shows that. Novak whips Cavallo off to the ropes and telegraphs a back bodydrop. Cavallo nails a nice kick but misses a discus clothesline and gets planted with a back suplex. The crowd is already into the action as the two men are really tearing into each other. Novak connects with a few forearms to the jaw, but Cavallo retaliates with some slaps to the face. Rob nails a chop to the chest and stuns Novak enough to take him down with a snapmare and viciously kick him in the back. Cover by Robbie gets two. Cavallo keeps Novak grounded with a rear chinlock as he spits at various members of the crowd, causing boos. Novak battles back to his feet and takes Cavallo down with a modified wheelbarrow facebuster, as best I can describe the innovative move. The crowd pops as Cavallo does a face plant. Novak screams at Cavallo to get up and tears into him with some punches. He’s obviously venting on Cavallo due to the whole Kayleigh situation.
As if right on cue, Alex Michaels appears on the entryway to a chorus of boos from the fans. He looks at the action as Novak knocks Cavallo down with a pair of clotheslines. He spots his nemesis and gets to the ropes, yelling profane words at him. Cavallo takes advantage by clubbing Novak in the back of the head and nailing a reverse DDT for two. Rob climbs to the top rope and tries one of his many high-risk moves, but he misses as Novak moves out of the way. Novak doubles Cavallo over for the Dublin Destroyer, but suddenly Kayleigh appears on stage, urging Michaels to return to the back. Novak lets Cavallo go and has some choice words for his ex, which results in Michaels and Novak yelling. Cavallo tries to take advantage with a prawn hold, but only gets two. Cavallo goes for the Sonic Boom, but Novak ducks under the swinging kick and grabs Cavallo’s leg, twisting him to the mat with a dragon screw. Novak rolls Cavallo up and gets two.
Michaels tries to calm Kayleigh down on the outside, and Novak takes advantage by running to the ropes and jumping through with a dropkick to Michaels, sending him crashing to the floor. Kayleigh attends her client as Cavallo charges Novak. Tristan pulls the top rope down and Cavallo flips over, accidentally crashing into Kayleigh! The fans gasp as Kayleigh falls to the floor from the collision. Cavallo looks at her as Michaels gets to his feet and begins yelling at his friend. Novak grabs Cavallo and pulls him back onto the apron. Rob reverses a suplex into a cutter over the ropes, stunning Novak. The Future springs off the top rope and nails a huracarrana on Novak for two. Darius Falcon suddenly rushes to ringside to a pop from the crowd and grabs Michaels and begins wailing on him. These two have no love lost either, and the crowd is going crazy as they get two fights for the price of one. Cavallo goes to the ropes and yells at Falcon to leave. Michaels and Falcon are still brawling, and Novak quickly grabs Cavallo from behind, rolling him into a cradle for the pin!
Winner, via Pinfall: Tristan Novak
Aftermath
The crowd cheers as Novak shoves Cavallo out of the way and slingshots over the top rope. He tries to crash on Michaels, but Falcon ends up taking the brunt of the move. Michaels quickly grabs Kayleigh, scoops her up, and heads to the back. Falcon and Novak are to their feet and engage in a shoving match. Cavallo arrogantly walks over and pretends to try to break it up, infuriating both men with his dick-like nature. Novak and Falcon both punch Cavallo, knocking him to the floor. Falcon points to Cavallo, telling him off as he backpedals up the ramp and yells to Michaels to wait up… What a crazy situation.
The JoZ vs Malice
Exhibition: Single
With no love lost between these two, it surprises nobody that JoZ and Malice take each other to task, hitting each other with lots of stiff blows, harsh kicks and lots of dirty tactics. JoZ's height and weight advantage are not as useful as he would like them to be, as Malice's sheer fury is enough to keep him in the fight.
Malice hits an especially harsh DDT on JoZ and begins just firing mounted forearms into JoZ's head. The referee interrupts Malice after a few moments, which only enrages him even further. While Malice argues with the referee, JoZ hits a low blow from behind and then lifts Malice up with a reverse suplex! He goes for a cover, but Malice slips his foot onto the bottom rope and the count is broken. JoZ pulls Malice to his feet and hits him hard with a haymaker which sends him backwards. JoZ goes for another, but Malice blocks it and dives forward with a shoulder block right into the gut of JoZ, which doubles him over. Malice hits several very hard chops across the back of JoZ's neck and shoulders before running against the ropes and taking JoZ down with a running DDT! JoZ looks unresponsive at first, but he kicks out after a pin and a two count! Malice pulls JoZ to his feet, looking to continue the punishment, but JoZ hits a stiff knee to Malice's gut, and he shoots Malice to a far corner. JoZ begins waving his hands in the air, making a motion toward him.
From behind the curtain, the massive form of Dimitri is seen lumbering down the ramp. The crowd is uncertain of what to think as the Russian Monster makes his way to the ring. JoZ runs at Malice in the corner and nails him with a Spear, driving the wind out of his opponent. Dimitri enters the ring, and the referee admonishes him to exit, but he is clearly terrified of Dimitri's size. JoZ shouts something into the face of Malice and then shoots him into Dimitri who promptly grabs Malice and then delivers a punishing Powerbomb!! The referee calls for the bell, and this match is over.
Winner, via Disqualification: Malice
Aftermath:
JoZ and Dimitri continue to beat down Malice in the middle of the ring, taunting him and kicking at him when the crowd cheers as...AJ Cross runs down the ramp! Cross charges JoZ immediately and begins wailing on him with fists and forearms and anything he can muster! JoZ is driven back into a corner, taken by surprise from the attack. But JoZ doesn't have to wait long as Dimitri grabs Cross from behind and with one hand around Cross' throat, tosses him out of the ring!! Dimitri exits the ring to follow Cross and JoZ, seeing Malice having stood up, runs at him and kicks him square in the head with a Yakuza Kick! JoZ continues the trash talking, but another big pop goes up...mostly in surprise as RODERICK F*CKING BROOKES runs down the ramp, chair in hand!! Brookes enters the ring and smacks JoZ across the shoulders with the chair. JoZ turns around and tries to defend himself, but is met with another chair shot across his arms and face, causing him to stagger backwards and fall through the ropes. Brookes isn't done yet though as he slides outside and targets Dimitri. Brookes takes the chair and slams it into the back of the knees of the Russian Monster! Dimitri yells in pain, and turns to attack his aggressor, but he, too, is met with a chair across the face! Dimitri isn't stupid though, and he begins backing away, using his long, thick arms to block any further chair strikes. Brookes shouts at JoZ and Dimitri, as Malice looks on from the ring and Cross slowly rises to his feet and a massive staredown ensues.
Dimitri vs. Blake Hades (c)
Single: PWW Heavyweight Championship
Falls Count Anywhere Match
After the events that just unfolded, one has to wonder just how Dimitri will fare against the Champion. From the minute the bell sounds, the crafty Hades focuses on the knees and legs of Dimitri, knowing full well that Dimitri was just on the receiving end of a nice healthy dose of aluminum.
Dimitri is clearly affected by the attack, as he moves slower than normal. Of course, facing a guy like Hades doesn't help!
Hades uses many quick strikes and attacks to keep Dimitri at bay. Dimitri goes for a lumbering clothesline, but misses, and Hades capitalizes with a nice dropkick to the back of the knees, sending Dimitri down. Hades charges Dimitri and nails him with a flying shoulder block, which sends Dimitri to the mat! Hades attempts to put Dimitri in a leg grapevine, but Dimitri is too strong and kicks Hades into a corner. Dimitri pulls himself up and Hades runs at him to try and keep the offense going, but Dimitri grabs him in mid run and hits him with a stiff Powerslam! Dimitri goes for a cover, but only a very lax one, and Hades kicks out at 2. Dimitri is enraged and goes to pull Hades to his feet, but Hades rolls out of the way, and fires a kick into the right knee of Dimitri, slowing him down further. Hades runs off the ropes and hits Dimitri square in the nose with a flying elbow, but Dimitri doesn't go down.
Meanwhile, a chorus of boos goes up as JoZ makes his way down the ramp. The referee yells at JoZ not to repeat the actions of earlier, but JoZ just stares at Hades. He makes a gesture to his own waist, as if to say "That belt will be mine" but Hades actually exits the ring and talks trash to JoZ. Hades threatens JoZ to hit him, knowing that while he can't get counted out, he can still win by DQ. JoZ just points upward, and Dimitri pulls Hades up onto the apron. JoZ stares on, smirking as Dimitri suplexes Hades into the ring, but a cheer comes up from the crowd as who should reappear but AJ Cross! Cross hits JoZ from behind, and the two begin brawling on the outside of the ring. Dimitri stares at his apparent partner, but does not exit as he wants that title. Unfortunately for him, in his distraction, Hades has climbed up to the top rope and flies off, nailing Dimitri in the head with a Missile Dropkick!! Dimitri falls to the mat, clutching his head. Hades isn't satisfied however, as he climbs up to the top rope once more, and dives off with a Corkscrew Splash!!! Hades covers the Russian Monster and is cheered as the three count is delivered.
Winner, via Pinfall, and STILL PWW Heavyweight Champion: Blake Hades
Aftermath
JoZ stares at his fallen comrade (no pun intended) and enters the ring as Hades exits with his title. AJ Cross makes his way up the ramp as Dimitri and JoZ glare daggers at Hades who only grins and flashes his title in their general direction as War comes to a close.

Another on-time War from your pal and mine (What?), me.
Hope ya'll enjoy it!!
