Banned from Everywhere vs. Amazing Jos & Jason AllenBanned From Everywhere’s music begins to play, and Awesome Bill from Dawsonville and Justin Sane make their way down through the crowd, PCPL in hand. Apparently, they were banned from the entrance ramp in an earlier incident with Tommy Wilder, a skateboard, and some pyrotechnics…anyway, the crowd sure appreciates how their banning has never led to an actual show miss, as the two alternate universe rednecks enter the ring. “Diary of Jane” plays next, and Jason Allen leads the way as he and Amazing Jos make their entrance, and the crowd provides a warm reception for Those Flippy Motherfuckers as they slide in and slap hands with BFE.
Justin Sane starts off the match against Jason Allen, and Jason Allen goes right at Justin, going for traditional holds and grounding—but Justin continues to reverse and evade like the veteran he is! Just kidding. Justin continually flails around like the eponymous spud in a game of Hot Potato, which keeps Jason from cinching anything in—frustrated, Jason goes to the kick game, but Justin grabs the leg and flips—Jason does a backflip and lands on his feet, but Justin dropkicks him in the chest! OFFENSIVE MOVE by Justin Sane! That’s his finisher, probably! Justin whips Jason into the corner, but Jason runs up the turnbuckles and flips D-Bry style over Justin as he charges, nailing Justin with the Pele kick to the head when Sane spins around!
Jason holds control for a bit, throwing high-flying offense while Justin keeps getting back up, but Jason gets a little too hot and misses a blind tag from Bill to Justin (blind to Justin too, probably), and gets tackled down by the Big Boy. (What? That is totally not his nickname. Is he even significantly bigger than—) Anyway, the BIG BOY is out stompin’ a mudhole in Allen, backin’ him into a corner like a rustlin’ goat backs a pig into a corner when the slophog be messin’ about and the goat’s kinda off duty and you would reckon that the goat would be less inclined to do somethin’ about it but he’s actually mighty pissed that this is happening while he’s off duty, and while we got lost in that metaphor Jason came out of the corner, got the best of a few blows, but got taken down with a spinebuster—and Bill is now following up with a Boston Crab! Jason tries to spin out quick, but Bill is dropping that big booty down and Jason can’t even pull himself through the legs! Allen’s only hope is to reach for the ropes…he pulls closer, and closer, but he’s not quite there…
…but the acrobatic Jos has managed to hang off the ropes far enough to slap Allen’s reaching hand, and leaps off the top turnbuckle with a flying bulldog to Bill! Bump and feed, bump and feed as Jos keeps dropping Bill with dropkicks and spin kicks! Justin leaps off the top rope to try to cut off the momentum, but Jos catches him and flips him over his back further, landing him straight on Bill! Bill rolls his buddy off, and ducks a clothesline from Jos, bounds off the ropes—Jos hits the FALCON KICK! This is Finisher of the Year season, so Jos remembers to hook both legs and gets to three before Bill can kick out!
Winners in 6:54…Jason Allen and Amazing Jos!DK Murphy vs. GhostheadThe lights darken and Sevendust’s “My Ruin” comes on the Jumbotron as Ghosthead walks down the ramp. White fog pours from under the ring covering the mat and ringside as Ghosthead enters the ring. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and sits down awaiting his opponent. Dropkick Murphy's "The Gauntlet" brings out DK Murphy to a nice pop. The bell rings and this one is underway.
The two brawlers immediately start going after one another with almost every power move in their arsenals. Suplexes, slams, punches, lariats, etc. The end comes when DK tries to go for the Chomp, Ghosthead powers out of it and locks in the Phantasmogoria. DK fights it but eventually has to tap out.
Winner by Submission in 5:45, Ghosthead.Special Referee – Moosehead JackThe Word vs. Danny TaylorExactly what you’d expect as this quickly deteriorates to a brawl between Danny and Moose after Moose refuses to make any counts for Danny and tries to quick count for The Word a few times. After a few minutes of Danny ignoring the clearly biased officiating which further infuriates Moose, Jack snaps and tries to go after Taylor with a HEART PUNCH. DDT is able to block the blow and quickly plants Moose with a straight right of his own. That gets Moose smirking as he quickly calls for the bell and DQ’s Danny. And that leads to the brawl between Taylor and Jack with The Word and Father Lou deciding discretion is the better plan and they quickly exit the ringside area. Moose and Danny tumble to the floor and as Moose picks up a pair of kendo sticks, he tosses one to Danny who just sadly shakes his head and drops his. And that really doesn’t make the clearly losing it Moosehead Jack any saner as he charges Taylor, but Danny’s able to sidestep and Moose crashes face first into the steel ringpost. He drops like a ton of bricks and stays motionless as Danny inches over with a concerned look on his face. With MHJ continuing to not move at all, Danny motions to the back and that brings out the medical staff as Danny continues to look worried and he heads to the back just a few steps behind the EMTs who are wheeling Jack to the back.
Your winner in 4:11 via Disqualification, The WordMai Muyo vs. Tommy WilderTommy Wilder appears to his fans' delight, and bounces down the ramp, high fiving. He flips into the ring, and then bounces from top rope to top rope, showcasing his significant acrobatics. Skillet begins to play and Mai Muyo comes down to another round of enthusiastic applause, high fiving, and also getting into the ring in flashy fashion to delight the crowd. They shake hands as the referee calls for the bell.
The two faces are out to put on a clinic of flippy moves off the bat, and the crowd cheers its appreciation at every trick. Flippy arm drags and equally flippy counters of said armdrags. I know I'm overusing the word flippy, but that's what you get with these two! There's a lot of energy with these two, and they feed off each other, each one trying to outdo the other. We finally get a break in the back and forth with Mai taking the lead. She runs the ropes, besting Wilder at every pass, and then finally taking him over with a Northern Lights suplex for a quick pin. Wilder gets a shoulder up and Mai backs off, allowing Wilder to get to his feet, but as he does, she kicks him in the gut, doubling him over and getting his arms underhooked for..we will never know what because Wilder counters, lifting Mai up and over into some sort of bizarre suplex or something. I am sure there is a name for it. Anyway, Mai crashes to the mat and Wilder climbs up top. He hits a simple moonsault, and one, two..NO! Mai kicks out! But Wilder doesn't let her get to her feet and gets her instead in position for the Curb Kicker! Unfortunately, Mai is able to drop a shoulder to rotate around before he gets a hold of her, and places her two boots solidly into his lower abdomen, pushing him away. Mai kips up runs the ropes and comes CHARGING at him. Wilder has it scouted though, and dodges at the list minute. He's hoping for a Crash and Burn but as he hits the first German and rolls through, Mai sticks her feet to the mat and gets him into a roll up! One...two...NO! Wilder kicks out, stunned this didn't work. Mai is similarly stunned but quickly recovers her focus. She grabs Wilder from behind and sets up End-of-Time. But now it's Wilder's turn to counter, and as she hits her rotation, he counters into a backbreaker over the knee. Mai flops to the mat, but starts to recover as Wilder runs to the ropes and comes out with a Springboard forearm. He grabs her arm and gets it into a twist for an arm ringer, and heads over to the ropes, but Mai does a one handed cartwheel out of it, whips Wilder into the ropes and NAILS him with a dropkick.
Both wrestlers get to their feet. Wilder heads to the turnbuckle, but Mai runs up after him and *wham* Endgame! Mai goes for the pin, pointing to the sky with each count and It's! (one) Mai! (two) Time! (Thre...) NO!!!! Wilder kicks out! Wilder kicks out! Now it's Mai's turn for the disbelief. She heads toward the corner to set something else up, but Wilder struggles to his feet. He sees Mai's back is turned and he Wilder's up! He rushes her, and gets her into a fireman's carry...he heads for the corner to go for the Base Jump! They crash to the mat, Wilder makes the pin, one...two...three!! BZZZT!!! Just before the time limit!!
Your winner in 19:54, Tommy WilderPretty Hate Machine (Firewoman & Alexis Darling) vs. Saints of Sinners (Stank & Christian Carter)The Saints of Sinners enter the arena to a storm of boos. Christian Carter glares at the fans as he makes his way down the aisle, but Stank doesn't even acknowledge their existence - save the Saints supporters at ringside, whom he sneers at. The crowd's reaction turns on a dime and they explode into cheers as Pretty Hate Machine steps onto the stage. Firewoman and Alexis Darling pause to drink in the reaction, but their smiles disappear as they lock eyes with their opponents and make their way to the ring. Referee Angelo Barros wisely wastes no time giving the teams their instructions and calling for the bell.
Firewoman steps forward and points at Stank, daring him to start the match. Shaking his head, the big man obliges. They lock up, and Stank uses his strength advantage to back her into the corner. Barros calls for the break and when Stank steps back Fire clips him with a slap. He glares and she smirks as they return to the middle of the ring. They lock up again and Stank winds the arm. Fire cartwheels and tries to turn it into an armdrag, but Stank pulls her back and hauls her onto his shoulder. Fire drops off behind him and hits a dropkick to the knee. Stank staggers and turns around into a kick to the stomach followed by a springboard DDT. She covers, but Stank powers out at one. Fire lands on her feet and immediately drops a knee into his face. She rolls Stank over and grabs an arm. Before she can grab the other one he hooks her ankle and yanks her off her feet. Stank gets up and Fire tries to sweep his legs, but he catches her foot and rolls her into a single leg Boston crab. Stank uses his free hand to wave to Davin Moreland, who steps through the curtain to glare at him before shaking his head and heading backstage. Fire struggles, and finally grabs the ropes to force the break.
Stank releases the hold and pulls Fire to her feet. He sends her to the ropes and Alexis makes a blind tag. Stank sees it, but his attention to the tag leaves him open to a spear from Fire. It doesn't knock him down, but it puts him in position for Alexis to spring off the top rope and drop him with a hurricanrana. She hooks both legs, but Carter is in almost immediately to break it up. Barros forces Carter out of the ring, but not before he drags Alexis to her feet and turns her inside out with a clothesline. Stank is up and heads to the Saints' corner to make the tag.
Carter gets a running start and kicks Alexis in the face as she tries to get up. He pulls Alexis up and runs her into the corner, driving her face-first into the turnbuckle. He grabs her around the waist as she bounces off and plants her with a German suplex. He bridges, but Alexis rolls a shoulder at two. Carter rolls to his feet and drives an elbow into Alexis' head. He grabs her by the hair and drags her to her feet, but she slams a forearm into his stomach (or perhaps lower) on the way up. He staggers back, and Alexis knees him in the face and sends him into the PHM corner. She makes the tag, and she and Fire each wind an arm, duck under, and snap Carter over with a suplex. Both women spring off the middle rope and drop elbows into his chest. Fire hooks the leg as Alexis rolls out to the apron. Barros counts One...Two...Carter kicks out just in time.
Fire pulls Carter to his feet and buries a knee in his stomach. She shoves him into the corner and attacks with a series of chops. She sends him to the ropes and levels him with a dropkick. She runs up the ropes into the BFE. Carter rolls out of the way, but Fire manages to land on her feet. Carter tries to sweep the legs, but Fire hops over. She throws a kick as he gets up, but Carter catches it and turns it into a dragonscrew leg whip He presses the attack with a series of kicks, then sends her into the corner and makes the tag. He pins Fire's arms, allowing Stank to come in with an elbow to the head. Stank plants Fire with a belly-to-belly suplex and covers, but Fire rolls a shoulder just in time.
Stank slings Fire into the corner and charges, but she doges out of the way. Stank gets his arms up and stops him momentum. Fire tries for a high knee to the back, but Stank sidesteps. Fire lands on the second turnbuckle and springs off. She hooks Stank's head but he throws her off, sending her to the mat. Stank sits Fire up and clubs her with a series of crossfaces. He sends her into the corner, and this time the avalanche connects. Fire stumbles out and Stank hauls her up for the Stank U, but she's not as out of it as he expects and she swings off and reverses into an inverted DDT. She rolls Stank over and grabs his arms - Firestomp! Fire runs up the ropes - BFE! She hooks both legs, rolling Stank up. Barros counts One...Two...Carter runs across the ring but Alexis cuts him off...Three!
WINNERS, in 18:06, Pretty Hate Machine.After the match: Carter and Alexis ignore the bell and continue to brawl. Alexis gets the advantage until Carter catches a dropkick and Alexis' head slams into the mat. Carter holds her legs and falls back, catapulting her into the corner. She flies over the turnbuckle and slams head-first into the ringpost. She bounces back, blood dripping from her forehead, and Carter spins her around. He kicks her in the stomach and KILLS her with the Fall From Grace. Fire spins Carter around and slams an elbow into his face. Before she can press her attack Stank is up and tackles her from behind. He hauls her onto his shoulders - Stank-U! Stank rolls to his feet and hits the ropes - Stankonia 2.o! Carter pitches Alexis through the ropes as Stank kicks Fire out to the floor. The Saints stand tall as the crowd rains down boos and trash on the ring.
Onslaught Title #1 Contenders MatchJeremy Punswick vs. MirandaJeremy Punswick is out first to boos from the crowd. Miranda is out next accompanied by Davin Moreland, to a much warmer reception. The ref goes over some last minute instructions, and we are underway. The two circle as Davin shouts some encouragement from the side. Jeremey pauses and with a smirk raises his hand calling for the test of strength. Miranda looks like she is going to go for it, but
then she lands a kick in his gut.
Punswick is caught off guard, and Miranda follows up with some stiff forearm shots. Miranda takes control and is using her speed to keep Jeremy off balance. However, she makes the rookie mistake of playing a little too much to the crowd, and Punswick capitalizes. Punswick takes solid control, putting Miranda down with several hard slams and strikes. Davin continues to yell encouragement, and Punswick yells for the "old man" to keep quite. Davin just shrugs his shoulders and says okay. When Punswick turns around, Miranda is waiting and nails a perfect dropkick that sends him tumbling through the ropes.
Punswick is quick to his feet however, he is barely on the ring apron when Amazing Jos jumps the barricade and pulls him down. Jos lays in the blows and tosses him into the ring. Unfortunately the ref sees this and calls for the bell.
Your winner via DQ in 11:17 Jeremy PunswickJos slides in the ring looking to continue his assault, when Miranda cuts him off with a What the Hell? Jos looks to go past her, but Miranda blocks his path and shoves him yelling that she had the match in hand. Jos has some choice words back, and neither notice Punswick back on his feet and heading towards them. Before he can do anything, Davin is in the ring and spins him around and nails a really good diamond cutter. This catches Miranda's and Jos's attention. Security runs down to keep everyone seperated, and Davin escorts a still furious Miranda up the ramp to the back.
LD Williams vs. Chris Evans vs. Matt Folz vs. Alexander DarlingFour of the top competitors in the OOWF are facing off next, in what promises to be a hard hitting match –
Angelo Barros looks to get two to start, and Darling and Folz decide to be first –
Some chain wrestling to begin, move and counter, until Darling shoots Folz to the ropes and scores a shoulder tackle. Folz scrambles to his feet before Alex and capitalize, and they lock up again Floz whips Darling toward the ropes, but hangs on to the wrist and buries a knee into Alex’ gut – He then transitions to a backbreaker over the knee, then floats over to a DDT! Fast cover gets a one – even as LD and Evans start to get in the ring to break it up.
Folz takes a step back in case LD or Evans makes a move, and this lets Alex scramble over and tag in LD Williams. Williams fakes a lock up, kicks Folz in the gut and goes to the power offense. Clotheslines, right hands, slams – LD keeps Folz on defense, but they get a bit too close to Chris Evan’s corner, who blind tags out LD, and drills Folz with an elbow to the back of the head.
Evans picks up where LD left off, and stay focused on Folz’s neck and back. Evans tosses Folz to the mat and locks in a Stump Puller, putting his full weight on his back. Folz struggles to get out, but before he can even consider tapping, Darling comes into the ring and slaps Evans in the back of the head! Evans starts toward AD, but the referee separates them, getting Darling back out of the ring – this allows Folz the chance to get to his feet, who crushes Evans with a German suplex! Folz stalks Evans, clotheslining him to the mat, followed by a flapjack suplex, then an ankle lock! Folz is too beat up to finish him off, and Evans kicks out of the hold – allowing Alexander Darling to tag in!
Evans looks pissed, and dances away from Darling and tags in LD Williams, then bails from the ring. LD shoots him a dirty look, then climbs in the ring – Darling jumps him right off the bat, and thet start tearing each other apart! LD delivers a series of short –arm clotheslines in the corner, rocking Darling – Darling ducks a hard right, jaw breaker to buy some space, drives a shoulder into LD’s gut, hoists LD up for the Darling Driver – Evans grabs Darling’s foot, pulling him off balance! This causes Darling to accidentally drop LD snake-eyes on the top turnbuckle! Darling makes a grab for Evans, who hops off the apron, laughing. LD grabs Darling and drives a knee into his back – LD slams Darling’s skull into the middle turnbuckle, takes a few steps back, and rushes forward driving a knee into Darling, who slumps to the mat!

He turns back to Darling, clubbing blow to the back of the neck – and signals for the Destroyer! Before he can deliver, Chris Evans is back in the ring grabs LD witch a waistlock and lands a perfect German suplex with a bridge!

Evans counters into a Canadian Backbreaker! Evans then ducks a kick from Folz and sets up Ode to Canada! Folz howls in pain, Evans is screaming for him to tap….
And Darling breaks up the hold!
Darling grabs Evans by the head and blasts him with 3 fast knee strikes, then moves to the Darling Vice! Evans desperately reaches back and rakes Alex’s eyes – Darling is still a little out of it, Evans reaches into his boot and pulls out brass knuckles, while the referee is trying to figure out who the legal men are… Evans lines up the shot –
And Folz spins Evans around and fires off a superkick – Evans ducks it, takes a swing at Folz who slips the punch and tosses Evans over the top rope!
Even as Chris hits the floor, Folz turns around and LD kicks him in the midsection… CANADIAN DESTROYER!
1…2….3
Winner at 24:12, LD WILLIAMS!OOWF World Heavyweight Title MatchMoosehead Jack © vs. Daniella MurphyDaniella Murphy is announced and makes her way to the ring. She steps between the ropes and plays to the crowd a bit. “Scarecrow” plays and Moose wanders out from the back, still wearing blood soaked clothes, and still looking like shit, the OOWF world heavyweight title dragging in his hand. Moose throws the title into the ring, then rolls under the bottom rope and sits there slumped waiting for the announcements. When the ref is done, he calls for the bell. As soon as the bell rings, Moose gets to his feet and charges out of the corner, he telegraphs a clothesline, which Daniella easily ducks. Moose stops and turns around, and when Daniella turns around, Moose BLASTS her upside the head with a punch that DROPS her like she’d been shot! Moose raises his hand, and quarters fall from his grasp, all over the mat. The referee has no choice, and he immediately calls for the bell! This one is already over!
WINNER in :18 by disqualification – Daniella MurphyMoose stands there laughing, then grabs the referee, who is checking on Daniella and shoots him out of the ring to the floor. As he does this, the Saints of Sinners make their way to the ring, all with weapons, and stand guard. Moose pulls a barely conscious Daniella to her feet and hits the GO TO SLEEP FOREVER! As Daniella hits the mat, Moose drops to the mat mocking her. DK Murphy and Danny Taylor race to the ring, but they are outnumbered four on two and quickly eat a beat down. Punswick and Carter hold Danny so he can see in the ring, and Moose pulls Daniella to her feet and hits a CORKSCREW! Danny closes his eyes and shakes with rage. Moose is not done though, he pulls a piece of barbed wire from his pocket and repeatedly rakes it across Daniella’s face, drawing huge amounts of blood. Texpress and Tommy Wilder are out now, and they brawl a bit with the Saints, Moose pulls Daniella up one more time and hits the DYNAMITE DROP, just as Danny gets into the ring. Moose grabs his title and rolls out of the ring and joins the brawl for a minute, but the Saints have lost the numbers advantage and retreat up the ramp as the White Hats check on Daniella. DK and Danny check on his sister and call for help, the OOWF doctors come to the ring and load an unconscious Daniella on a gurney and quickly take her to the back.
Stan Fulton vs. Zane MyersZane’s music hits first to allow the hometown star to come out last. Myers gets to the ring and checks the ropes as Fulton’s music hits and the crowd here in Minnesota explodes. Stan actually seems overcome by the response as he moves with a little hop in his step down to the ring. A quick handshake in the center of the ring and we get underway here. Both partners have stayed in the back as we should have a clean match here.
Zane and Stan quickly forego the technical side of wrestling and move right into the power game as they trade punches, forearms, elbows, and a few kicks are thrown in for good measure. When none of that is enough to gain a clear edge, both men move on to the let’s try and toss these big men around the ring portion of the match. Each successive slam and suplex draws more applause from the crowd as they are appreciative of the strength of both men.
And then both guys start hitting even bigger moves and finally start going for some pinfalls. Zane is able to sneak in from behind and hits a massive release GERMAN SUPLEX, but only gets a two count. Fulton’s able to recover and he lifts Zane high overhead GORILLA SLAM followed by a running SPLASH, but that gets Two-and-a-half. Zane back in control and he he’s able to surprise Stan with some speed and agility as he hits back to back DROPKICKS and as Stan is staggered, Zane tries once again to sneak up from behind and he attempts to lift Stan up for the TORTURE RACK, but he’s not able to get him up and Stan counters with THE CLEAR CUT. Zane falls back and Fulton quickly gets in position behind Zane and lifts him onto his shoulders and shades of Davey Boy Smith, Fulton hits a RUNNING POWERSLAM and that leaves Zane in the perfect location as Stan walks up to the second turnbuckle…THE CRUSHER and Zane is finished.
1, 2, and 3.
Your winner in 9:44, Stan FultonChad Madison vs. Ecosystem”I know who you are...the leader of lost souls...”
The crowd yells for their home state hero’s tag team partner. Ecosystem makes his way to the ring, limping just a bit. He steps up to the ring apron and soaks in the applause. Juni’s not used to be adored so he takes his time walking on the apron immersing himself in the esteem the fans have for him.
Finally, he climbs into the ring and Referee Angelo Barros, a Texpress/Salvation fixture, gives Eco the once over. Barros acknowledges that Eco’s clean as a whistle and Adema’s “Immortal” fades.
“Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” starts up as Cowboy Chad Madison nearly leaps through the curtain onto the entrance ramp. The crowd is just about even with their applause as they were for Eco and Chad slaps hands as he skips to the ring. Leaping up onto the apron, Madison acknowledges the applause and climbs in. Barros checks Madison over for foreign objects, finds none and this one’s under way.Eco and Chad come to the center of the ring and Eco puts his hand out for a handshake. Chad’s hesitant for only a microsecond and quickly shakes his opponent’s hand. The crowd loves it.
The two men circle each other and lock up collared-elbow. Neither gets an advantage and break clean. They try again. Same result. They slap each other’s hand as a sign of respect and lock up a third time. This time, Eco turns it into a side headlock, Chad quickly ducks out and puts Juni into an arm bar. Eco rolls out of that into his own arm bar, which he brings around behind Chad’s back into a chicken-wing.
Eco steps on the back of Chad’s knee, bringing him to the mat but Chad reverses that into a reverse chicken wing of his own. Eco manages to break the hold and both men are quickly to their feet as the crowd enthusiastically approves.
Chad and Eco then go through another three to four minutes straight of chain wrestling, echoing the the tag team tornado match. Chad then gets Eco in an abdominal stretch. Chad pulls back hard. Eco drives his elbow back into Chad’s thigh trying to break the hold, which he finally does.
Eco runs the ropes, but Chad sidesteps a charging Eco, helps propel him to the opposite side of the ring where Eco collides with Barros! Barros is down and rolls to the floor. Eco’s tweaked his knee again and is having trouble putting weight on it.
Chad kicks Eco’s knees a few times and Eco goes down in a heap. Chad starts working over Eco’s leg, finally putting Eco into a Texas Cloverleaf! Eco’s writhing in pain and he finally has to tap out. But Barros is still unconscious on the floor.
Chad finally releases the hold and wonders why there wasn’t a bell. He sees Barros still hasn’t gotten up yet and leans out through the ropes to yell at Barros to stop lollygagging and get back to work. Yes, Chad used the word lollygagging.
Chad turns around and Eco rolls him up into a small package! Eco holds Chad in that long enough to have scored a pin, but still no referee. Chad breaks out of the hold and Eco rolls to the ropes to give himself some help in getting to his feet. Chad gets up on his own, sees Eco having trouble and runs the ropes. Chad attempts a big clothesline or something similar, but we’ll never know. Eco sidesteps Chad, pulls down on the top rope as he does and Chad goes flying into the Swedish Announce Table, scattering lutefisk all over the crowd.
Chad slammed hard, head first and he’s spread-eagled on the floor, face down. Eco rolls out of the ring and seems to be watching someone. Eco cocks his head as he listens to the voices and then picks up a steel chair. As this is happening, Zane Myers and Stan Fulton have made their way out to the entrance ramp; Stan has a briefcase with him. When Zane starts to go to Chad’s defense, Stan holds him back and seems to be begging Zane to let Eco get through this.
Eco seems very conflicted as the crowd is begging Eco not to use the chair but the voices are telling him to go ahead. Finally, Eco violently shakes his head and throws the chair to the floor far away from him. The crowd cheers and back on the ramp Zane turns back to Stan and nods.
Eco goes over to Chad, lifts him up and rolls him back into the ring. Quite an achievement as Chad is dead weight and Eco’s on one good leg. Eco then goes over to Barros and gets him up and going too. Eco points at Chad, rolls Barros in the ring and gets in himself. Eco rolls Chad up for the pin and starts to grab the tights. He catches himself and releases the tights. Barros starts the count, but it’s awfully slow. One... ... ... Two ... ... ... Thr... no! Chad rolls out. Eco is really frustrated and slams the mat.
Zane and Fulton have made their way ringside. Zane is imploring Chad to get up and Fulton is doing the same to Eco. Eco tries to stand but his knees gives way. Chad has gotten himself together, notices Eco struggling and puts a block on Eco’s knees that Ndamukong Suh would say was dirty. Eco’s on the mat clutching his knee and Chad rolls him over. Boston Crab! Eco can’t continue. He has to tap and this time Barros sees it.
Your winner by submission in 8:31... CHAD MADISON!OOWF World Tag Team Title Contract SigningFulton and Zane climb in the ring and both go to their partners. Fulton helps Eco up and puts him in a corner for support but he's glowering at Chad for the Joe Looney/Ndamukong Suh hit on Eco's knees. As Texpress is celebrating, OOWF General Manager Nate “Pun” Corbitt comes down to the ring. He directs his staff to place a table, chairs and ink pens in the ring which they do. He grabs a mic and climbs in.GMP: “Mr. Fulton. I see you have your contract that you earned for a championship match of your choice.”
Fulton leans out of the ring and is handed a microphone.SF: “I do. Right here.”
Fulton holds up his briefcase.GMP: “As you requested this meeting with my predecessor, I don’t feel I’m under any obligation to grant you this, but the Board of Directors asks that I proceed. Mr. Fulton. For which championship do you wish to compete?”
Fulton looks over at Eco, who nods.SF: “The OOWF World Tag Team Championships.”
The crowd roars.GMP: “Who shall be your partner?”
SF: “Ecosystem.”
GMP: “And the stipulations?
SF: 2 things; 1. We want to make sure we earn these titles and we want to do it beating the greatest tag team champions ever in this company at their own game; Two out of Three falls.
GMP: “Done.”
SF: “And second, if I don’t win the titles at Hell on Earth, my career is over. Titles vs. Career.”
Ecosystem looks shocked and hobbles over and tries to get Stan to reconsider but he mouths the word “faith” to his partner and Eco nods.GMP: “The contract please.”
Fulton hands the mic to Eco, opens the case and produces the contract which he hands to the GM. Pun looks it over, takes up a pen and fills in some blanks. He then hands the contract back to Fulton.GMP: “As you’re a paralegal... yes, I have been paying attention... please quickly look this over for any objections you may have.”
Fulton looks over the contract and takes back the microphone.SF: “Mr. Corbitt. Chad. Zane. Partner.
“This is a historic day. A day for remembrance. A day we look back at what has been taken from us and also look forward to how strong we are.”
The crowd is cheering wildly.SF: “And I’m extremely proud to be in my home state of Minnesota!”
Cheap pop.SF: “There’s never been a warmer welcome in the Icebox of the Nation!”
Cheap pop redux.SF: “Now, Juni here has allowed me to hog the mic during this, but I want to say that I’m proud that you’re my partner for this historic occasion. You and your sister have been great friends to me at a time where there wasn’t anyone else that would stand by my side. I’ve had tag team partners before. From Matt Folz to Ravenna Blue to Regicide. None of them have been as supportive of me as you two have.”
More cheering.SF: “Chad and Zane. You two truly are the measuring sticks of tag team division, in this company and in the world. There are no two men who’d I’d rather face for those championships than you.”
Chad and Zane both acknowledge the compliment.SF: “With all that being said, let’s make this official!”
Fulton and Eco sign the contract, then Texpress both sign as well.GMP: “There you have it. At
Hell on Earth, Salvation meets Texpress for the OOWF World Tag Team...”
Pun is interrupted by the sound of Chevelle's "Forfeit". The Saints of Sinners, Stank and LD Williams, come out on the entrance ramp and Stank has a mic in his hand.S: “Congratulations, Fulton. You have a championship match. Too bad it’s not against the real Tag Team Champions, me and LD Williams.”
Booing from the crowd.S: “We let those cowpokes have the titles, but we all know that the best tag team in the world is standing right here. So no matter what happens in that match at
Hell on Earth, you’ll know in your hearts that none of you are good enough to hang with the best.”
Stank drops the mic as Chevelle's "Forfeit" starts up again. Both Salvation and Texpress start yelling at the Saints of Sinners. Finally, the two teams start to argue with each other as they head up the ramp, Fulton helping Eco limp along.Thanks for coming out and watching LIVE OOWF action!
