DK Murphy vs. The WordBach's Fugue in D Minor plays and OOWF Newcomer The Word comes down to the ring with his manager Father Lou. The Dropkick Murphy's "Gauntlet" brings out fan favorite DK Murphy. The bell rings and this one is underway.
DK starts out fast, taking the big man down with a huge clothesline. The Word gets back to his feet only to be taken down again quickly by two big right hands. DK springs off the ropes and nails a beautiful flying forearm. He heads up to the top, looking to press his advantage, only to have Father Lou grab onto his leg. As DK is distracted trying to kick Father Lou off, the Word makes it backs to his feet and grabs DK and nails a massive chokeslam. The Word alertly covers and looks to steal this one, but DK kicks out at two.
For the next few minutes The Word uses his impressive power offense to beat the shit out of DK. Belly to back suplex is followed by a running powerslam. The Word whips DK into the corner and hits him with a powerful avalanche. Big elbow drop gets another two count. The Word tries for a slam, only to have it reversed into a desperation small package by DK. The Word's shoulders are down, but the referee isn't counting because he's distracted by Father Lou. The ref turns around to see both men get back to their feet temporarily.....until DK is turned absolutely inside out by a Word lariat. The Word goes for a powerbomb and because DK is not, in fact, Mai Muyo the move connects. The Word looks to finish DK off with the Hand of God, but DK manages to grab his hand and block the move. The two men struggle for a second to get control before DK hits a few well placed knees to the stomach to get The Word to go to one knee. DK hits a hard running knee to the face to place The Word flat on his back.
DK now takes over with his own hard hitting offense for the next few moments before looking to finish with the STF. He gets it halfway applied before Father Lou gets up on the apron again to distract him. DK releases the hold and walks over, hitting Father Lou with a powerful right hand that sends him flying off the apron. The Word tries to nail DK from behind, but DK ducks, The Word hits the ropes hard and DK rolls him up from behind....1, 2, 3!
Winner by pinfall in 12:24- DK MurphyBanned from Everywhere vs. The DraculsWe start getting some snow and static from our satellites in Japan as this match is announced. We hear it was a typical Banned from Everywhere match with some great comedy moments that really pissed off the Draculs. We heard that there was the most EPIC DOUGHAWK ever and we know Bill was able to pin Vlad with the FREEBIRD.
Your winners in 9:11, Banned from EverywhereWinner gets a World Title Shot next weekTommy Wilder vs. Ghosthead vs. Chris EvansAll three make their traditional entrances, Wilder obviously the face in this match, but Ghosthead and Evans also having their supporters in Japan too, and get some cheers… Angelo Barros makes sure that all 3 are ready, and calls for the bell.
At first, nobody wants to commit to anything, but after a few moments of circling, Ghosthead and Evans both jump Wilder – punches and kicks to start, then they double team whip him to the ropes and Evans clotheslines him down, followed by an elbow drop from Ghost. Ghost goes for a second elbow drop, but Evans hits him with a side kick, and tries to cover Wilder for the fast win! Wilder kicks out almost immediately, and Ghost is right there with a low dropkick on Evans! Ghost covers Wilder, and Evans pulls him off – they start yelling and shoving each other, then Wilder interrupts with a combination DDT/STO!
As Wilder and Ghosthead get to their feet, Evans rolls out of the ring – Ghosthead moves in and fires an elbow strike at Wilder, who ducks and drives Ghost chest first into the corner – He gets a waist lock, and tries for the Crash and Burn! Ghost escapes after the second German suplex, drives a knee into Wilder’s gut, puts Tommy in a hammerlock and then hits a belly to back suplex! He follows up with a rolling neck snap, then stretches Willder’s arms back, knee planted in his spine. Willder won’t give up, so Ghost drives a couple more knees into his back, then picks the high-flyer up, sets up for a neckbreaker... And Chris Evans is back in the ring with a kick to Ghost’s midsection! Evans DDTs Ghosthead, then whips Wilder to the ropes – but Wilder springs off the second ropes and drills the Canadian with a flying forearm! Evans gets to his feet first, and sends GH crashing with a suplex.
The next several minutes is a blur of action, Evans’ technical expertise up against Wilder’s speed and aerial attack, with Ghosthead mixing both styles, trying to weaking either opponent for a submission. Nobody can get a clear advantage, and at any given time there are odd, temporary alliances between each pairing. Evans is getting visibly frustrated, and rolls out of the ring to look for an advantage – inside the ring, Ghosthead has Wilder locked in Phantasmagoria! Wilder is fighting, but it isn’t looking good – then Evans blasts the Ghostface Killer and Wilder with a ladder to break the hold! The ref looks like he might call it, but a look from Evans gives him a reason to let it go – looks like this has become a relaxed rules match! Evans hits Wilder a second time, but when he turns to Ghost, he takes a kick to the face! Ghost and Evans are fighting over the ladder, Ghost pushes Chris back into the corner, and then reaches through the rungs of the ladder and locks a neck wrench over the ladder on Evans!
Evans is starting to turn purple, but before he can tap out, Wilder gets back in the game, hitting the Caffeine Rush on Ghosthead, and slamming the ladder into Evans! Ghost staggers back into a backstabber from Wilder, who then kips up, sees that Evans is trapped in the ladder, but also holding the ladder in place – Wilder sprints up the ladder… AIRWALK! He drops 15 feet onto the prone Ghosthead! COVER!
1 – 2 – 3
Winner at 27:11 - Tommy Wilder!Saints of Sinners (Stank & LD Williams) vs. Pretty Hate Machine (Firewoman & Miranda)The former Tag Team Champions make their way out first, as Stank and LD Williams have menace in their eyes—so you don’t want to know what’s in their hearts. Stank takes the time to grab a “Firewoman Is A Significantly Better Wrestler Than Stank” sign and tear it up, prompting boos from the crowd. LD laughs as Stank mutters something about being too old for some shit. Pretty Hate Machine is out next, and while the crowd loves Firewoman, it seems a significant portion is going nuts for Miranda, with lots of Miranda-san signs in the audience, including ones with charmingly tentacle-free mockups of the new talent (well, except that one we just cut away from).
Miranda actually opts to start against LD Williams, and Firewoman acquiesces, giving LD a quick “watchin’ you.” LD and Miranda lock up, and while Miranda is quick enough to get LD into an armbar, he quickly forces her down into a near-crossface…she squeezes out, LD drop toeholds her down, back on top yanking on the abdominal stretch…Miranda pops him in the forehead with the knees attached to her long legs and breaks free…off the ropes, and she clotheslines LD down! Excited, she bounds off again—LD ducks under, sharp neckbreaker! Good for two. LD picks Miranda up and goes for a triple rolling: 1…2…Miranda begins to jab LD before the third in the gut! LD jabs back and holds tight…Miranda tries to reverse into her own, LD locks the foot to counter—finally, he gets off a Third Amigo on Miranda, but again, only for a two-count. LD begins to torque her arms back, potentially looking for a submission…or wait, maybe to hit a CurbStomp in front of Firewoman on her protégé!
This move Miranda knows how to counter, however, elevating her knees and jerking herself up, catching LD with a mule kick to break free! Miranda goes for the tag, and Firewoman is already top rope with a missile dropkick! LD flops down but Firewoman is right on top of him—three super-fast rolling Germans against the suplex machine, the last sending him flying with a release! Stank doesn’t truck with House o’ Fire shit though, tagging in off LD and knocking Firewoman straight down with a clothesline to the back! Stank is putting in the boots immediately here, not looking to give Fire a breath, but the magic of Firewoman is that she doesn’t need a breath, scooping out the leg and knocking Stank on his back! Firewoman picks up the right leg and immediately begins dropping elbows on the old man’s knee! Stank kicks her off harshly and leaps up—perhaps inadvisably, hobbling for a moment—and yells audibly.
“You want to play?”
And the improbable Darling spouse does, because the two begin to trade blows and holds in a way that defies definition as grappling or brawling. At one point, Stank gets the best of Firewoman in the corner—he may not be the bigger person, but he is the BIGGER person—and he hooks her over his shoulder for a Big Ass Powerslam—but Fire flips over the top to knock him back with a jawbreaker! Stank against the ropes as Fire releases kicks, but as she leaps up with a knee, Stank catches her—and charges forward, tossing her right into Miranda and knocking the Latina to the floor! LD knows the trick when he sees it, and runs around, rolling Miranda in as having blind tagged! Fire protests, but LD tackles her out of the ring, and the two begin to brawl outside!
Stank stomps a mudhole on Miranda in the corner, deciding if at first you don’t succeed, try try again, and he flips Miranda over the shoulder for a Powerslam—Miranda slides back and hooks Stank’s neck, for a spinning cutter—END-IS-HERE! Miranda borrowed her buddy Mai’s move, but it still takes Miranda a moment to go for the cover…and just past two, Stank POWERS OUT, getting up and catching Miranda off the charge with a belly-to-back INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Firewoman sees the crash and tries to charge past LD, but LD uses all his might to charge them both into the steel steps! Back in the ring, Stank hooks the stunned Miranda up—STANK-U! Miranda is out hard as Stank goes for the elementary cover. 1-2-3.
Winners in 15:32…the Saints of Sinners!Stank celebrates his win for the moment as LD and Fire rise outside…then suddenly, he grabs Miranda by the hair and flips her over his back as the crowd boos! Will he hit another…Firewoman is in the ring and staring him down. Stank looks to her, and to LD, his second man standing…and he puts Miranda down, shrugging and exiting with LD.
Street FightAlexander Darling & Matt Folz vs. Saints of Sinners (Chloe & Christian Carter)Satellite disruption means this bloody brawl will not be seen, but the live audience says it will go down as one of the best brawls ever. We did get scattered reports that Chloe really tried to injure Folz, that Alex and Matt could barely work together but they both looked at the top of their game, and Carter was a man possessed going after Darling. And it was that singular focus of Carter that wound up costing the Saints as Carter hit a FALL FROM GRACE on Alexander, but didn’t go for the cover and instead went to add further damage with a HELL ON EARTH, but that gave Folz enough time to send Chloe crashing face first into the ringpost and allow Folz to get in the ring, nail Carter with Moosehead Jack’s signature RANHEI before finishing Carter off with a JI-ENDO.
Your winners in 14:53, Matt Folz & Alexander DarlingDanny Taylor vs. Jeremy PunswickSatellites in Japan were still down during this match but we hear it was a hard hitting, strong style match. Punswick brought the brawling and violence and Taylor countere with technique and a MMA style striking offense. JP tried to find shortcuts and each and every time he attempted any shenanigans, DDT thwarted those attempts which really pissed off Punswick. Near the end of the match, Punswick makes a motion towards the back which takes his attention off Taylor for a split second and as Moosehead Jack and LD Williams come out from the back, Taylor is able to surprise Jeremy with a DYNAMITE DROP and pick up the win. As the two Saints swarm the ring, Taylor escapes and cracks a smile as Moose looks livid in the ring.
Your winner in 18:11, Dynamite Danny TaylorAnd we’re getting word that satellite reception is back up as we head into the title holder portion of the night. Sorry for any inconvenience. Send all refund requests to Super Mario, Attorney-At-Law.
Non-Title MatchMoosehead Jack © vs. Daniella MurphyDaniella Murphy comes out first, with her brother DK right with her. She climbs into the ring and DK gives her some last minute advice. “Scarecrow” plays and the OOWF World Heavyweight Champion Moosehead Jack comes out, accompanied, as always, by Chloe. Moose slowly makes his way to the ring and eyes Daniella who is focused on Moose, but jumping around working off some nervous energy. Moose notices this and grins. He slowly climbs into the ring and takes off the world title and slumps in the corner. Chloe takes the title and marches to the middle of the ring and holds it in the air, then walks toward Daniella getting right in her face. Chloe laughs and Daniella pie faces her to the mat. Chloe comes up swinging with the title, but the referee manages to stop her before she connects and orders her out of the ring. Chloe leaves the ring, DK drops to the floor, the bell rings, and we are underway.
Daniella moves to the middle of the ring, Moose just looks at her with an amused look on his face. Finally Daniella charges into the corner and tries a kick to Moose’s face, but Moose drops o the mat and rolls out of the ring. From the outside he grabs Daniella’s leg and pulls her to the mat, then SLAMs the side of her knee into the ringpost repeatedly. The referee warns Moose and he finally lets go and Daniella pulls herself to the middle of the ring and grabs her knee in pain. Moose is immediately back into the ring and he stomps on her knee viciously, then grabs her and drags her leg to the rope, lays it on the bottom rope and leaps in the air and drops his weight down across her knee. Daniella howls in pain and rolls out of the ring to the floor.
Moose runs across the ring and aims a kick at DK’s head, which brings him up onto the apron and disacts the referee. As his back is turned, as Daniella stands up, Chloe races around the ring and clips her knee from behind, sending her right back to the floor in pain. Chloe lifts her up and rolls her back into the ring, Moose turns his attention away from DK, grabs Daniella’s leg and traps her in an Indian Death Lock!
Moose falls back on the mat and Daniella howls in pain. From the outside DK cheers her on and the crowd soon follows, yelling for her to break the hold. Moose repeatedly gets to his feet and falls back to the mat putting more pressure on her knee. Daniella finally manages to make it to the ropes and force the break, Moose keeps the hold on until the referee is about to disqualify him, then finally breaks it. Daniella crawls to the corner and pulls herself to her feet and gingerly takes a step, but her knee buckles. Moose gets to his feet and eyes her like a predator eyes injured prey.
Moose charges into the corner, but Daniella catches him with an elbow between the eyes, he shakes it off and catches a forearm to the face. As Moose staggers backward, Daniella moves to charge out of the corner, but Chloe grabs her foot. The distraction allows Moose to charge into the corner and nail her with a hard clothesline. DK has seen enough, he charges around the ring and tackles Chloe to the floor and hammers her with punches to the head. Moose pulls Daniella out of the corner and trips her to the mat to set her up for a FIGURE FOUR, but he sees DK grab Chloe in a front facelock to DDT her on the floor! Moose breaks the hold and leaves the ring and leaps off the apron and double axehandles DK on the back of the head sending him to the floor. Moose climbs back onto the apron, but doesn’t see Daniella is back on her feet. Daniella races (as much as she can) down the apron and clotheslines Moose sending him to the apron. She grabs the champ and pulls him into the ring and pulls him to his feet, backs him into the corner and UNLOADS a vicious barrage of chops. Daniella steps back for a moment, and her eyes roll back in her head and Back of Beyond Dee takes over and she goes rouge on Moose, battering him down to the mat.
Moose tries to save himself with a rake to the eyes and roll out of the ring, but DK grabs him and shoots him right back into the ring. Moose gets to his feet and glares at DK, then turns around and walks right into a clothesline from Daniella. She pulls Moose up and whips him hard into the corner and “charges” in with a clothesline of her own. She sets the champ on the top turnbuckle and hits a SUPERPLEX! Daniella floats through, but instead of going for a cover, she grabs a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Moose howls in pain and quickly scoots to the ropes and forces the break.
Daniella grabs Moose and calls to the crowd, she is going for the CHOMP! The crowd EXPLODES for this! She sets Moose up and is about to lift him when Chloe jumps onto the apron. Daniella releases the hold and charges at Chloe grabs her by the head and guillotines her on the top rope! Daniella staggers backward and Moose flies off the ropes and nails her with a BUISAKU KNEE to the face! Moose snarls and grabs Daniella and hits a PACKAGE PILEDRIVER!

Chloe is on the apron AGAIN, this time DK grabs her by the arm and pulls her off the apron toward him, right into a SPINEBUSTER on the floor! Inside the ring, Moose pulls Daniella to her feet and hooks her for a suplex, but Daniella rolls him into a small package, one….two……thre…..NO! Moose quickly gets to his feet and tries to kick Daniella in the face, but she moves out of the way and sweeps the champ to the mat and grabs an ANKLE LOCK! Moose again howls in pain, and has to scurry to the bottom rope to save himself.
Daniella whips Moose into the corner and charges in, but Moose sidesteps her, and she slams sternum first into the turnbuckle, as she staggers backward, Moose lifts her and hits the GTSF! As Daniella hits the mat face first, Moose pounces on her and locks in the JI-ENDO! Moose pulls back hard, but Daniella is already pretty well out of it after the GTSF. The referee checks her then calls for the bell, this one is over.
WINNER in 18:58 – Moosehead JackMoose refuses to break the hold, which brings DK into the ring. He grabs Moose by the hair and tries to pull him off, but Chloe crawls back into the ring and nails him with a LOW BLOW! DK falls to the mat writhing in pain. Moose gets to his feet and pulls a chain from his boot and wraps it around his fist and HAMMERS DK with punches to the face, opening a cut above his eye. He pulls Chloe up and they set DK up for a SPIKE PILEDRIVER! But before they can hit the move, Tommy Wilder races to the ring and lands a kick to Moose – who was on the top turnbuckle – sending him to the apron then the floor. Chloe grabs Wilder and bites his face, but Danny Taylor makes it to the ring and pulls Chloe off of Wilder and sets her up for the DYNAMITE DROP…..before he can hit it, Moose grabs Chloe’s leg and pulls her out of the ring and they retreat up the ramp. Moose holds his title in the air as Wilder climbs the turnbuckle and dares him to come back. Danny checks on DK and Daniella, and helps them to their feet. Drink and Destroy and Wilder stand tall in the middle of the ring while Moose and Chloe seethe at the top of the ramp.
Onslaught Title MatchAmazing Jos © vs. Jason AllenJason Allen is announced and comes to the ring, and once again the crowd roars their approval. Jason tips his hat to them, drawing even more cheers. The OOWF Onslaught Champion Amazing Jos is announced next and makes his way to the ring without his usual celebratory antics. Jos gets to ringside and slowly walks all the way around the ring eyeing Allen the whole time, then puts his title down on the Croatian Announce Table and steps into the ring. The referee calls both men to the middle of the ring and gives them instructions. Allen extends his hand, Jos laughs a little, then shakes it. They head to opposite corners and the bell rings.
Allen moves to the middle of the ring and he and Jos lock up, but Jos is able to shove Allen to the mat with ease. Jason gets to one knee and holds the back of his head and looks hard at Jos. He gets to his feet and moves in to lock up again, this time he slips behind Jos and tries to take him to the mat with a waist lock, but he can’t budge Jos. Jos reaches behind him and hits Jason with a spinning back elbow, Jason has rubber legs for a moment, then Jos sends him to the ropes and sends him to the mat again, this time with a spin kick. Jason gets to his feet in the corner and Jos charges in and tries an Oh Em Gee, but Jason slips out of the ring to the apron. Jos puts on the brake before he slams into the corner, but Jason catches him with a kick to the back of the head from outside the ring sending him face first into the turnbuckle. Jos staggers backward and Jason leaps to the top rope and tries a cross body block, but Jos catches him and turns it into a power slam! Jos covers but Jason is able to reach out and grab the bottom rope just before the three count.
Jason Allen has used his first rope break.Jos pulls Allen to his feet and boxes him upside the head several times with big forearms, he sends Allen to the ropes and lowers his head, Allen tries a sunset flip, but he can’t get the masked man over. Jos steadies himself and tries to reverse it into a Firemans Carry, but Jason wriggles free. Allen bounces off the ropes and connects with a drop kick to the back of Jos’s head sending him to the mat. Allen covers, but Jos kicks out with authority at one. Allen lets Jos get to one knee, then charges in and nails him with a shining wizard to the side of the head. Jos wobbles, but he won’t go down. Allen charges in and catches him with a boot to the face that sends the masked man to his back. Allen runs to the corner and lands a perfect moonsault, and covers, but only gets a two count.
Allen gets back to his feet and waits for Jos to get up, then hammers him with kicks to his knees and hamstrings. Jos looks like he is having a hard time standing, Allen grabs his arm, wrings it, then heads to the corner and scales the ropes and tries a hurracarana, but Jos catches him, and turns the move into a SHUT THE HELL UP! Jos folds Allen in half, he is dead, that’s it. The referee comes in and counts, one, two, thre……NO! Somehow Allen kicks out! Jos pulls Allen up and sends him into the ropes – FALCON KICK! Jos covers Allen, but once again, Allen shows his resilience by kicking out at two.
Jos lands several kicks to Allen’s chest, then pulls him up and sends him to the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a ZVD! Allen flails as Jos wraps his massive arms around him and tries for the tapout. Allen tries in vain to get an arm loose and finally Allen is able to grab a rope as we hear that ten minutes has expired in this match and five minutes remain.
Jason Allen has used his second rope breakAllen falls to the mat gasping for breath, Jos tries to drop an elbow across his chest, but Allen moves out of the way and Jos hits the mat. Jos gets to his feet and Allen runs in and BLASTS him with an enzuguri! Jos staggers, and Allen bounces off the ropes and hits a Chris Jericho bulldog bringing Jos to the mat. Allen is slow to capitalize though after the ZVD. Allen gets to his feet and charges in for a clothesline, but Jos ducks, Allen puts on the breaks and hits a Pele kick to the top of Jos’s head. Two minutes remain.
Allen covers again, but once again Jos kicks out at two. Allen leaps into the air and drops a knee across Jos’s chest and covers again, but once again, Jos is out at two. Jason heads to the top rope, he is going to try another JOKERS WILD. Jos staggers to his feet, but stands up before Allen can leap. Jos charges into the corner, but Allen grabs him and hits an ENZIGURI out of the corner! Allen follows with a ROYAL FLUSH! Allen scrambles and covers, one, two…..the bell rings!
WINNER – 15 minute time limit drawAllen can’t believe it. He looks at the referee in shock and confirms that it was just a two count. Jos is likewise frustrated, but the two who have had words this week shake hands in the middle of the ring and Allen rolls out of the ring when Jeremy Punswick runs down with a baseball bat in hand and gets a couple of shots in on Jos before Allen rolls in and starts pounding on Punswick. Puns rolls out and looks at Jos making the universal “me wanty belt” symbol, while Jos makes the universal symbol that he is number one....
World Tag Team Title MatchTexpress © vs. Salvation (Ecosystem & Stan Fulton) – Stank/LD can not interfere during the match; if they do they will get no more title shots this yearSalvation makes their way down to the ring as Stan Fulton once again makes an attempt to complete his OOWF Grand Slam. He and Eco seem very focused and going over some last second strategy. They climb the turnbuckles facing the entrance as “Save A Horse, Ride a Cowboy” kicks in and Chad Madison and Zane Myers come out to a mixed reaction. A vocal number of fans sound like they’ll be behind the challenges tonight as Salvation makes the me wanty belt motion towards the Texans which means they don’t see what’s happening behind them as LD Williams and Stank hop the barricade and slide into the ring brandishing steel chairs. They lay the chairs down behind Eco and Stan as LD & Stank get into position under Ecosystem & Fulton respectively…POWERBOMB off the chair and bothh guys hold…STANKBOMB and Eco and Fulton’s heads bounce off the chair uncomfortably.
Chad and Zane rush to ringside as Stank and LD pick up the chairs and take a swing at the Texans. They duck under the chairs…DOUBLE DROPKICK sends LD & Stank to the floor. Chad and Zane quickly drop down and check on their would be opponents and that’s not a smart move by two veterans as they take their eyes off the threats at the moment. SHINING WIZARD by LD on Chad, STANKONIA by Stank on Zane and now the champs are down. LD isn’t done though as he lifts Chad up and kicks the chair out from under Eco…CANADIAN DESTROYER on the chair. Stank lifts Zane up and moves the belt under Fulton…STANK-U on the chair. And now the champs are out. Stank and LD rip the belts off the champs and do a mid-ring clink before tossing them on the unconscious bodies of the champs and challengers.
Your result in 0:00, No ContestAs the Saints leave the ringside area, mics pick up Stank saying the following, “The bell never rang bitches, those belts are ours whenever we want them.”
Intercontinental Title MatchAlexis Darling © vs. Mai MuyoMai Muyo skips to the ring, smiling and greeting the fans, but a closer look reveals the determination etched in her eyes. This is a young lady who wants her championship back. Mai climbs into the ring and poses on the turnbuckles, then hops down and stretches in her corner. Alexis Darling also receives a warm response from The crowd, but less so than her challenger.
