OOWF MidWeek Mayhem
Live! From Akita, Japan
DRINK & DESTROY vs. WULF WARHAMMER & KAMIKAZI OHWarhammer and Oh are announced and make their way to the ring and get a polite response from the Japanese crowd. The two bow to the crowd and wait in the corner. Their music hits and all three members of Drink and Destroy make their way through the crowd to a tremendous ovation from the fans. The Akita fans mob Drink and Destroy as they head to the ring, but the three of them finally make it and gather on one side of the ring. Jack, Spin and Taylor all slam a beer and salute the fans, then Jack and Taylor roll into the ring and go right after Oh and Warhammer.
Jack grabs Oh and slams him head first into the turnbuckle, then spins him around and beats him to the mat with some AUSTRALIAN VIOLENCE! Taylor sends Warhammer to the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a big back body drop. Warhammer gets to his feet and Taylor charges at him and clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor. Taylor and Jack pull Oh out of the corner and send him to the ropes, they lift him like they are going to hit another backdrop, then hold on and DRIVE him to the mat with an ALABAMA SLAM! Oh’s head bounces off the mat and his eyes roll into the back of his head.
Jack pulls him up as Taylor heads to the corner and sends him to the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a knee to the midsection, then grabs Oh and hits a tilt-a-whirl back breaker and tags in Taylor. Taylor drops a leg across Oh’s chest, then pulls him to his feet and lifts him for a suplex, and leaves him up there for a LOOOOOOOONG time, before driving him to the mat. Taylor doesn’t even cover, instead he pulls Oh to his feet and lifts him up over his shoulders, then walks to Oh’s corner and holds out Oh’s hand for a tag to Warhammer. Warhammer looks at him suspiciously, then tags in. Taylor lifts Oh and hits a SNAKE EYES on the top turnbuckle, dropping him back of the head first on the pad.
Warhammer comes in and digs his thumbs into Taylor’s eyes and sends him to the ropes, plants a kick to the gut doubling him over, then drives him to the mat with a DDT! Warhammer celebrates, drawing some boos from the crowd. He climbs to the top rope and waits for Taylor to get to his feet. As he does, Warhammer leaps for a double sledge to the face, but Taylor gets a boot up and catches him right on the jaw! Taylor pulls Warhammer to his feet and lifts him over his shoulder and hits a BORDER TOSS into the D&D corner! Warhammer staggers forward and Taylor turns him inside out with a clothesline then tags in Jack.
Jack comes in and pulls Warhammer to his feet and hits the CHOMP! WARHAMMER IS DEAD! Jack covers and gets the one, two, three!
WINNERS in 7:31 – Drink & Destroy
CHRIS EVANS & CHAD MADISON vs. BRYCE LARSON & DR. INFIERI"God Blessed Texas" plays over the OOTron as a defiant Chad Madison appears in front of the curtain to a tremendous ovation. He begins to walk down to the ring, followed hesitantly by Chris Evans, who receives a pop of his own upon emergence. The two eye each other warily for a second, but then climb in the ring and pose in opposite corners for audience cheers.
On the OOTron comes this message:
"If the Devil does not exist, and man has therefore created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness."
-Fyodor DostoyevskyThe strains of "Immortal" by Adema play over the OOTron as Dr. Infieri and Bryce Larson emerge, wearing "I" and "L" shirts with DEVIL on the back, akin to a team jersey. Lauren Phoenix is accompanying them down to the ring as they receive a mixture of clapping and boos from a Japanese audience that still quite fancies Ecosystem and all associated with him. The two men enter the ring after Lauren holds the ropes for them, with Larson and Evans immediately going nose to nose. Madison backs them off, noting that he will be starting the match against Infieri. The bell rings and this is ON!
Infieri and Madison lock up in the middle of the ring, Infieri reversing into an upward arm bar and putting pressure down on Madison's right shoulder. Infieri tries to float his leg over Madison's shoulder, going for the Doctor Dissection crossarmbar, but the (comparably a) veteran Madison pulls away and grabs Infieri's head, pulling him down into a jawbreaker. Infieri backs off, mildly stunned, and Madison hits a perfect dropkick, taking the Evil Doctor off his feet. Infieri pulls himself between the ropes before Madison can gain any momentum, causing the referee to back Chad off. Infieri then pops out from the ropes and nails Chad Madison with a kick to the gut. He hooks him around the waist, Doctor Bomb attempt--but Madison rolls out in midair, dropping across the back of Infieri and locking a modified cross face! Infieri kicks his feet wildly, one of them landing on the bottom rope and causing the referee to tell Chad to release the hold.
Madison does, promptly going up to the second rope and looking down at the crawling Infieri. Flying leg drop off the second--just misses as Infieri scouts it, with Chad landing hard on his tailbone. Infieri catches Madison in the face with a judo kick, Eco-style, knocking Chad's head back. Dr. Infieri goes for the cover, 1-Madison grabs the bottom rope. Dr. Infieri slouches over to his corner and tags in Bryce Larson. Larson scouts the Ladies' Man closely as he gets up, grabbing him around the back and following through with a German suplex. He pulls Madison up again--another German! Madison grabs the rope and the referee tells Larson to release, but Larson simply yanks Madison off and throws him with a release German. Larson looks to go for the cover, but instead drags Madison over to the ropes and begins choking him out. The referee begins the count: 1--2--3--4--Larson releases, only to immediately start choking Madison again for 1--2--3--4--breaking the choke, taking a step back...and then stomping Madison in the head over and over against the rope as the referee admonishes him. Larson steps back as the referee threatens disqualification, walks over to Evans's corner...and spits in his former partner's face.
However, Chris Evans doesn't really do the whole "polite admonishment" thing, as he runs into the ring and tackles down Bryce Larson. The two trade blows and roll out of the ring, with Evans picking Larson up and smashing his face into the announce table. Evans takes a step up to the announce table and attempts a flying plancha, but Larson catches him with a hard right hand to the face as he's coming down. Evans rolls under the ring as Larson goes to grab a steel chair. The referee yells at Larson to put the chair down...and then Evans comes out with a chair of his own. Both start swinging wildly at each other as the referee waves the match off.
WINNERS - No Contest in 7:02
Infieri runs over and grabs Evans's arms from behind, holding him still for Larson to connect with a steel chair to the gut, but Lauren Phoenix instructs the two to let go as OOWF Security pours down the ramp. Infieri immediately listens and Larson follows reluctantly, leaving to tremendous boos from the crowd.
ALEXANDER DARLING vs. MR. E"I Stand Alone" plays and former champion and recent newlywed Alexander Darling walks to the ring. The fans seem to be split on his role in the whole wedding thing, with some cheers and some boos, and signs reflecting both sides. He looks behind him, probably checking to see if his new brother in law wants to follow him to the ring and wish him luck. He gets in the ring, and leaves all that behind as he gets focused on the business at hand. "Not Ya Head" starts and the masked, mysterious Mr. E comes in to cheers. Fall River's own Angelo Barros checks in with both me, and we begin. Standard indie locks and stuff, and it flows together really well, like they've been working together for years, but this is their first meeting. Just goes to show the level of talent of performers we have here at the OOWF. They continue to flow back and forth, matching each other evenly. Alexander finally pushes Mr. E away enough to get some distance, hit the ropes and hit a low drop kick to the legs. Mr. E falls back, and Darling hits the ropes again and comes flying out for a Thesz press. He reaches back for E's legs, pressing his shoulders to the mat, but E kicks out before Barros can get into position. He flips Darling over him, and leaps to his feet, while still holding Darling's leg, and tries to apply an ankle lock, but Darling rolls through it and kicks E backward. E hits the ropes and comes out into a quick snap suplex by Darling, who then hits a few elbow drops. Darling hits a moonsault of the second rope and goes for the pin. One...tw-- NO! E gets his shoulder up. Darling tries to push him back down, but E reaches up and goozles him, and uses that to help him get to his feet. Barros starts to count, but E doesn't let go until almost five and he has Darling down on one knee. E backs up and hits a running knee strike, and then mounts Darling hammering with punches. Barros again starts the count, and this time E stops around two and goes for a pin. Darling kicks out at one and a half. E helps Darling up by the hair, and then hits an STO backbreaker, moving into a neck breaker. That should do it, right? E makes the cover one, two...NO! Darling kicks out. E is surprised and stands to give Darling the golf applause. Darling struggles to get to his feet, and glares at E. Even though E has been looking like a seasoned pro, he has made the rookie mistake of underestimating the former champ, who explodes at him and hits a cross legged fisher man buster! Alex looks to be taking out the past week's frustrations on E at this point as he follows that up with an Air Raid Crash. He lets out a scream of rage, "Darlings up," and starts to set up the Darling Driver, when he gets a glimpse of something up at the arena entrance.
The crowd goes nuts as Moosehead Jack comes to the ring, carrying Happy Death Bat. Darling turns away from E and orders Moose to go away, he'll deal with him later. Moose doesn't care and ignores both Darling and Barros as he rolls in the ring, that same somewhat deranged vacant stare on his face. He swings the bat, and everyone dodges it. Barros grabs the arm with the bat in it, takes the bat and throws it out of the ring. Moose is enraged, but not so crazy as to hit a referee. Mr. E stands with his hands up, wanting to get on with the actual match, while Alexander decides enough is enough and tries to go for Moose. Barros pushes him back while Moose slides out of the ring. Barros turns his attention to E, no doubt explaining to him how this all works with the DQs and stuff. Moose slides back in with a chair. E tries to get past Barros, who doesn't appreciate being dissed like that and decides to explain to E why. Alexander turns to see what all the fuss is about, and turns right into a chair to the face, and that delicate often-broken nose. Moose rolls out of the ring laughing, as Alexander staggers, and falls to his knees but doesn't quite go down all the way. Barros is satisfied that Mr. E knows the rules and turns back to face the ring. E sees his opportunity and hits Tiger Driver 91!! He makes the cover, one...two...three!!!
WINNER in 21:08 – Mr. E
Alexander gets groggily to his feet as he sees Moosehead Jack standing at the top of the ramp, not laughing, but with the same vacant crazy-man stare, with Happy Death Bat recovered and resting comfortably on his shoulder. He smirks and then turns and heads to the back.
SPIN HANSEN vs. MOOSEHEAD JACKSpin Hansen is announced first and makes his way through the crowd to the ring. He hops the fence and rolls into the ring and gets to his feet and salutes the crowd, and the fans go nuts. The cheers quickly turn to boos as Moosehead Jack is announced. Moose comes to the ring with DeathBat in hand. He drops it at ringside, glares at Spin and steps into the ring and charges right at Hansen.
Spin is ready and he manages to avoid most of Moose’s charge, but still catches a fist to the eye. Spin staggers back and Moose is on him, raining punches and kicks down on him until Spin is on the mat. Moose pulls Spin to the ropes and chokes him on the middle strand until the referee threatens disqualification. Moose turns and snarls at the referee and the ref backs off a step. Moose goes back to grab Spin, who is now leaning against the ropes, but Spin grabs his shorts and throws Moose between the ropes to the floor. Moose quickly gets to his feet and grabs Spin from the outside and pulls his head off the apron and drops an elbow across his throat. Moose then chokes Spin, pulling him to the floor with him until the referee once again threatens disqualification.
Moose is like a Wildman here, he is hammering Spin with everything, and will not let up for a second. Spin manages to fight to his feet and rakes Moose’s eyes to slow him down for a second, then grabs him and throws him into the steps. Moose hits the steel back first and grins, then immediately starts getting to his feet even though it is obvious he is in pain. Spin catches Moose with a right to the jaw that staggers him a bit, then rolls him into the ring and follows him. Spin waits for Moose to get up then LEVELS him with a clothesline. Moose crawls to the corner and pulls himself up using the turnbuckles, Spin charges in, but Moose gets a knee up catching Hansen right in the midsection. Moose grabs Spin in a side head lock and turns so the referee can’t see him, and we see Moose pull what appears to be a shiv out of his pocket! He jabs Spin in the forehead several times, slicing his forehead open and drawing copious amounts of blood.
Spin staggers away to the middle of the ring and drops to one knee as Moose stashes the shiv. The referee suspects something, but can’t prove anything. Moose charges out of the corner and tries a kick to Spin’s head, but Spin avoids it and pulls Moose to the mat and tries to lock him into the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! Moose fights and manages to get to the bottom rope and force the break. Moose rolls out of the ring and Spin follows him. Moose staggers around ringside, and without Spin seeing, grabs DeathBat. As Spin rounds the corner, Moose turns and charges at him and BLASTS him upside the head with the bat! The referee sees this and IMMEDIATELY calls for the disqualification!
WINNER in 6:14 – by disqualification – Spin Hansen
Spin falls to the floor grabbing his head in pain, blood is already trickling through his fingers. Moose rakes the bat across Spin’s forehead and it explodes in blood and gore. Spin falls to the floor and Moose grabs a chair and brings it down HARD on the back of Spin’s skull, driving his face into the concrete. Moose puts the chair around Spin’s arm, Spin doesn’t move. Jack heads to the apron, OH GOD NO! HE IS GOING TO PILMANIZE SPIN’S ARM! Before he can, Stank runs out from the back. He climbs up on the apron and gets in Moose’s face and they exchange words for a moment, then they both grin and Stank leaps off the apron and comes down with all his weight on the chair! The pain snaps Spin back awake and he howls in pain and grabs his arm. Spin is visibly pale and shaking with pain. Moose and Stank each grab chairs and hammer him relentlessly until Spin is no longer moving. Outback Jack and Danny Taylor charge to ringside and Stank and Jack retreat, but the damage has been done. The camera pans over and we see blood running from Spin’s arm where the bone has protruded through the skin. Medical officials work quickly to set the arm and load the unconscious Spin Hansen onto a gurney.
POE & STANK vs. NOTHING HAPPENED“Real Muthafuckin’ G’s” hits as Nothing Happened makes their way out in their cute matching hoodies. There’s a mixed reaction as they make their way to the ring. Davin and Alexis seem to be talking strategy…at least when Davin isn’t talking to his imaginary friend walking alongside him. They get into the ring as “Mausam & Escape” hits.
The Japanese fans go berserk as the stage lights on fire. Poe and Stank, accompanied by Selena and A’isha (rare) rise through the flame to thunderous applause. They slowly make their way to the ring, Stank messing with people in the crowd, Selena strutting with her arms outstretched, carrying a Japanese flag stretched out behind her, A’isha carrying a bag of some sort, and Poe bringing up the rear with his bloody towel covering his head as usual.
Selena enters the ring as Stank holds the ropes for her. A’isha makes her way around on the floor to their corner. Poe climbs over the top rope as Selena poses, holding the top rope, then flicking her hair back, smiling for the fans. Poe tosses his towel over the rope towards A’isha who simply watches it flutter to the ground. Selena rolls out of the ring, handing the Japanese flag to a kid in the crowd. Poe and Stank discuss who will start. They look across the ring and see Davin starting for Nothing Happened and Stank decides to start for his team. Mel Creech is your referee.
The two big men lock up. After some struggle, Stank backs Davin into a neutral corner. Davin raises his hands like all good faces should. Stank raises his, backs away, then pops Davin with a right to the jaw. Stank then backs away with a smile as Davin feels his jaw. Davin seem to hear someone tell him something, then charges Stank, who expected it, sidesteps, grabs Davin’s arm, and attempts to lock in a full nelson. He can almost get it locked in, but Davin is powering out. Davin then reverses into a hammerlock. Stank then backs Davin hard into a corner, but it’s Nothing Happened’s corner. Whoops.
Alexis blind tags as Davin gets crunched in the corner. Alexis jumps over the top and kicks Stank in the midsection. Alexis punches Stank three times, and then follows with a European Uppercut. As she turns she then back heels Stank in his, um, manly region while Creech was getting Davin out of the ring. Alexis then runs to the ropes as Stank staggers out of the corner. Alexis hits a double footed drop kick on Stank’s knee, dropping the big man down.
Alexis then hits the side ropes and delivers a flipping leg drop onto the back of Stank’s neck. Alexis then straddles Stank’s back, grabs his arms and locks in a Camel Clutch. Stank is groaning as Poe is reaching out his hand for a tag (too far away, aww). After a few moments, Stank finally gathers enough strength to power up with Alexis now along for a piggy back ride. Stank finds a spot he likes and drops back to squash Alexis…
…but Alexis wisely drops off his back in time and Stank pancakes on the ring mat. Alexis quickly runs to the ropes and attempts another double footed drop kick to Stank’s face, but he dives towards his corner to tag in Poe as Alexis slides out of the ring and crashes to the floor at A’isha’s feet.
Davin seeing this enters the ring as well and he and Poe collide in the center. They exchange haymakers, but Poe ultimately gets the advantage. Poe backs Davin to the ropes and sends him across the ring with an Irish Whip. Poe tries to take Davin’s head off with a Hieroglyph, but Davin ducks, hits the ropes again and jumps on Poe’s back with a Sleeper Hold. Davin cinches it in tight, eventually dropping Poe to one knee as Creech starts to check Poe’s arm.
Outside, A’isha watches Alexis get to her feet with a grin. Alexis stares at A’isha, but seeing what’s happening in the ring, she rolls back in. She runs towards the two and Davin releases the Sleeper just as Alexis delivers a Shining Wizard to Poe’s head. Poe flops down face first to the canvas as Selena starts to pound the mat. Davin makes his way back to his corner, just so Alexis can tag him in.
Davin comes back in and stands over Poe. He playfully nudges Poe’s head with his foot. After a third time, Poe snaps his head up, grabs Davin’s foot, pulls him down, and starts whaling away on Davin’s face. Creech starts counting, but then simply grabs Poe to pull him off of Davin, since he knows counting is useless here. He finally gets Poe to stop, pushes him towards his corner and then threatens Poe pointing to his badge. Poe says something inaudible (probably not very nice) and tags in Stank.
Stank enters the ring, eyeing Davin, who’s simply motioning for Stank to bring it on. The two men lock up in the center of the ring. Davin drops to a knee to open up Stank for a European Uppercut. Stank takes a few steps back. Davin attempts to punch Stank again, but Stank simply grabs the back of Davin’s head and flings him into a neutral corner. Stank begins delivering hard body shot after body shot as Creech counts. Stank then drives his shoulder into Davin, but doesn’t move away. He grabs Davin’s legs, lifts him up on his shoulder, leaves the corner and plants him in the middle of the ring. Stank stands over Davin, posing and cursing at him. He then runs to hit the ropes and comes back with a STANKONIA 2.0.
Davin is finished. Stank covers. Creech counts. 1…2…Alexis is in with a kick to the side of Stank’s head. She tries to run back out of the ring, but Stank grabs her by the hair. He pulls her into a Scorpion Deathdrop and plants her alongside Davin. Stank stands and points to A’isha with a smile. He then hits the ropes for another Stankonia 2.0…
Davin leaps up and spears Stank. All three are now down and out on the canvas. Poe slowly climbs over the rope. He has free pickin’s here. He picks Alexis up by her hair, lifts her up for a Crucifix Bomb and plants her near the neutral corner. He then looks over to Davin, who’s slowly getting to his feet using the ropes. Poe charges for a Hieroglyph, but Davin ducks and pulls the top rope down. Poe crotches himself and falls over the top to the floor. Davin then slides under the bottom rope to the floor himself.
As Alexis is lying in the neutral corner motionless, A’isha quickly sheds her kimono, revealing her wrestling attire underneath. She quickly climbs up to the apron and up the turnbuckle.
Russ: What’s she doin’? She’s not in this match!”
Raz: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned Russ.A’isha takes a dramatic few moments as she looks at Alexis lying perpendicular to her on the mat. A’isha then takes a deep breath, leaps into the air with her arms outsretched. She brings her legs up in a tuck, then flips backwards and lands on Alexis with a splash.
Raz: She just hit a Southern Cross!The crowd starts chanting “TSU-NAM-EE, TSU-NAM-EE!” A’isha holds her ribs as she rolls out of the ring to the feet of Selena who checks on her. On the other side of the ring, Davin attempts to whip Poe into the steel steps, but Poe holds on and pulls Davin into a short clothesline. Poe then rolls Davin into the ring, and climbs back onto the apron in his corner.
Stank is up and walks over to his corner, tagging in Poe. Poe nonchalantly walks over to prone body of Alexis and kicks her out of the ring. He then goes over to Davin, grabbing his head to get him to his feet. Davin delivers a few punches to Poe’s stomach, but Poe knees Davin in the face to stop that. Poe then gets Davin into position for the Obelisk and plants him headfirst in the center of the ring.
Poe simply sits on the mat, looking at Davin’s prone body. He then looks over to A’isha who’s still holding her ribs on the outside. We can hear him yell towards her “A’isha, get the table!” Stank drops down off the apron to help her as she looks under the ring and pulls out a table. Stank slides it into the ring and climbs through the ropes afterwards.
Creech is in Poe’s face once again. Poe grabs Creech by the hair and flings him over the top rope.
Russ: You can’t do that to a referee!Stank sets the table up in the corner. A’isha climbs onto the apron with her bag, walking over to the table and pulls out a bottle and sprays it all over the table. She then pulls out a lighter and lights the table on fire.
Russ: Omigod, Raz, what are they doing?
Raz: Looks like Poe wants his revenge on DavinPoe grabs Davin and whips him towards the corner. Davin is able to grab the ropes to stop himself a mere two inches from the blazing table. But he then turns around and is SPEARED into the flaming table by Poe.
Russ: OMIGOD!Poe quickly leaps back from the flaming rubble, wiping ashes and sparks off him. Stank is now on the ramp outside holding officials and EMTs back. Poe grabs Davin’s foot and pulls him from the burning rubble. Poe once again motions to A’isha, who’s back into her bag. She pulls out two metal shin plates and hurls them over the top to Poe. He catches them and starts putting them on.
Raz: I don’t like the looks of this Russ.
Russ: What is this sick sunovabitch gonna do now?Once the metal shin plates are on, Poe lifts Davin up for a power bomb. He lifts him up as high as he can go, then drives him down into a LUNGBLOWER. Davin crumbles off Poe’s knees and shins clutching his back as Poe sits on the mat with a sick grin. Security and EMTs have finally got past Stank and they collect Davin as quickly as they can.
A’isha and Selena slide into the ring. Selena sits in Poe’s lap laughing as A’isha stands next to him, watching the EMTs take Davin away. Stank is leaning on the ropes, watching as well with an unemotional look on his face.
WINNERS by Disqualification at 18:47… Nothing Happened
LD WILLIAMS vs. STAN FULTON – OOWF Onslaught Championship MatchFulton is announced first and makes his way to the ring with Sheik Rahat trailing behind him. Fulton has his axe handle over his shoulder, but something is different about him tonight. Usually he relishes in the boos of the crowd and taunts the fans, but tonight, Fulton seems 100% focused on the match. He lays his axe handle on the announce table and steps between the ropes and waits in the corner. The OOWF Onslaught Champion LD Williams is announced next, and he gets a surprising show of respect from the Akita crowd. He makes his way to the ring and steps between the ropes and walks right to the middle of the ring. LD hands his title to the referee, and Fulton meets in. The two stare at one another for a moment, then Fulton extends his hand and LD shakes it. The referee holds the Onslaught title in the air and calls for the bell, we are ready to go!
They lock up and LD tries to muscle the much larger Fulton to the corner, but Fulton puts on the brakes and grabs LD’s arm and wrings it, then uses his elbow on LD’s shoulder to take LD to one knee, then finally to the mat. Fulton leans back and tries to tear LD’s shoulder out of the socket, the referee asks LD if he wants to quit, but LD refuses. Williams fights back to his feet and when Fulton wrings his arm again, LD catches him with a kick to the side of the knee. LD catches him with a second and third, and just when it looks like Fulton might fall to the mat, he pulls LD toward him and nearly takes his head off with a short arm clothesline.
Fulton drops an elbow across LD’s chest and covers, but Williams kicks out at two. Fulton pulls LD to a sitting position and drops several elbows down onto the top of LD’s head, then cross faces him several times.

Fulton pulls LD to his feet and sends him to the ropes and catches him with a boot to the chest that sends LD back into a corner.

LD catches him with more kicks to the knee and the back of the leg. He grabs Fulton’s leg and pulls the big man out of the corner, then takes him to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip!
Fulton hits the mat and LD immediately dives on him and drives an elbow to his throat drawing a warning from the referee
LD Williams’ first referee warning. LD grabs Fulton’s massive leg and kicks the knee repeatedly, then applies a spinning toe hold several times trying for a submission, but Fulton will not surrender. Finally LD turns it into a figure four, though barely because Fulton’s legs are so large. Fulton snarls in pain, but ignores the referee’s requests for him to quit. Finally Fulton uses his massive weight advantage to turn the move over. LD immediately breaks the hold and gets to his feet.

Fulton gets to his feet and puts the boots to LD’s back and ribs, then steps back and drops a head butt into LD’s ribs. Williams gets to one knee and Fulton charges at him and tries a kick to the ribs, but LD moves out of the way and clips the back of Fulton’s knee sending him to the mat.
LD gets to his feet and climbs to the middle rope and waits for Fulton to get to his feet, then leaps, trying a double axe handle to the head, but Fulton catches him in a bear hug! LD howls in pain and immediately tries to free himself from Fulton’s grip with shots to the head. Fulton tightens his grip and LD fades a little and we can hear him gasp for breath. LD starts to fade, then digs his thumbs into Fulton’s eyes causing Fulton to drop him. LD falls to the mat and rolls under the ropes to the outside while Fulton staggers around the ring. Fulton tries to clear his eyesight and the referee gets too close, and Fulton grabs him and PLANTS the referee with a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! The referee is DEAD! Fulton finally clears his eyesight and sees what has happened and motions to the back for medics and another official.
Another referee comes to the ring and he starts to waive the match off, Fulton tries to explain that it was an accident and that he couldn’t see. GM the Rick comes to the ring as they pull the first official out of the ring and help him to the back. After conferring with everyone, GM the Rick orders the match to be restarted with four minutes remaining! LD Williams, who has had plenty of rest on the outside, grins and hops onto the apron. Fulton turns to him and motions for him to get back into the ring. Fulton and Williams go toe to toe hammering one another with rights and lefts.

Williams tries to lock Fulton in a cross face, but Fulton fights to block it and slides to the ropes and gets one hand on the bottom rope forcing the break
Stan Fulton’s first rope break.

"We are each our own Devil and we make this world our Hell."
-Oscar WildeEcosystem and Tyler Vangarde come out to the dark strains of Adema's "Immortal" with their new "E" and "V" uniform shirts. With the Five and Valor, that makes DEVIL the third stable to have someone wearing a "V" symbol this week. They actually enter to a huge pop themselves, because YOU CAN'T OUT-FACE ECO IN JAPAN! Unusually for him, Eco acknowledges the crowd and slaps a few hands, as Tyler typically blows them off. The former Defenstrators enter the ring and stare down the champions. Wrath requests to enter against Vangarde first, and the bell is rung.
Tyler and Wrath lock up for a second, break, and Tyler quickly rakes the eyes of Wrath as the crowd boos. Apparently Eco's popularity doesn't carry over. Forearm to the face of Wrath, Tyler off the ropes with a clothesline attempt, but Wrath spine busters the Enforcer down. Wrath pulls Tyler up into a snap suplex attempt, but Tyler turns from above and drops Wrath down into a reverse DDT. Tyler goes for the cover, 1-2-kickout with authority. Wrath only seemed surprised. Tyler kicks Wrath in the back of the neck as the crowd chants "We Want Eco-clap/clap/clapclapclap." Tyler attempts to pull Wrath into the Manifesto, but Wrath forces him off and goozles him. Tyler quickly grabs the ropes, getting the goozle released. Tyler backs slowly away from Wrath, giving Eco the tag back that the fans request.
Wrath charges his former mentor, but Eco shrewdly drops him down with a drop toehold. Eco floats over into a variant of his former trainer Misawa's STF, but Wrath gets his long arm to the rope. Ecosystem climbs to the outside apron, leaping off with a flying burrito knocking Wrath back for a two count. Wrath swings a spinning arm knocking Eco off his feet and pulls the hometown boy up into a full nelson. The crowd starts a new chant: "We Want Tytan-clap/clap/clapclapclap" The fans apparently want to see the two former partners go at it. Eco drops Wrath's jaw down into his shoulder with a modified Ace Crusher, sending Wrath back. He doesn't follow up however, gesturing for Wrath to tag Tytan in. Tytan nods and Wrath obliges as the crowd goes crazy.
JR: This is the first time Eco and Tytan have ever been on opposite sides of an OOWF ring!
Razz: Oh man, JR, these guys know each other so well--how's this going to go down?
Both men circle the ring slowly, slapping the hand once in between. They lock up, the stronger Tytan pushing Eco back--Eco attempts a reversal into a monkey flip, but Tytan releases his own grip and spins away. Tytan takes a lariat swing at Eco, Eco comes around the back with a hammerlock, Tytan flips Eco over his back but Eco lands on his feet. Eco attempts a back mule kick to the face of Tytan, but Tytan moves away instinctively before Eco even began to move, as he seems to sense every move Eco will make. Tytan grabs Eco's ankle taking him off his feet, but feeling an ankle lock intention, Eco turns over and double kicks out, pushing Tytan into the corner. He jumps up for a mounted punch attempt on Tytan, but Tytan slides out between Eco's legs, pushing him over the ropes--but Eco catches the top rope! Tytan goes for a kick to Eco's back, but Eco has already dropped to the floor on his feet, mindful of his vulnerable status. Eco dashes down a few feet and rolls back into the ring, leapfrogging a Tytan spear attempt. Tytan scouts the dodge, stopping himself short from heading into the turnbuckle. Eco seems to charge Tytan but stops short--just as Tytan attempts his own back mule kick, with Eco seeming to have sensed the reflex as well.
As there is some applause for the show of skill, two fans rush out of the audience! One grabs Vangarde off the apron down into the steel steps, the other jumps in ring and tackles down Eco. is that--it's Davin Moreland! Davin and Alexis! The partners who were screwed out of the tag titles by Eco and Vangarde are taking their revenge! Nothing Happened is beating the shit out of DEVIL as the referee calls for the bell.
WINNERS in 8:10 by disqualification--DEVIL!
Tytan and Wrath jump in the fray to stop the brawl, but Vangarde takes a swing at Wrath as Davin catches Tytan with a stray kick, and we have a pier six brawl as Sanctum and DEVIL come down to the ring to join the fight, before being broken up by security. Eco grabs his troops and they hightail it up the ramp, posing in team order of DEVIL and glaring back at the teams being held back in the ring.
THE DEAD vs. RAVENNA BLUE – OOWF Intercontinental Title MatchPA: Someday you'll see...you're just like ME!
"Snow White Queen" by Evanescence blasts over the OOTron as Ravenna comes out to the single loudest ovation of the night--louder than any of the locals or other champions. She acknowledges the fans' cheers with a fist to the air, which only makes them explode louder. She enters the ring as she is announced to unceasing roars that seem to show no sign of calming. She runs the ropes a couple times, waiting for an entrance, waiting for calm...
A "Special Message" appears on the OOTron.
"Somehow our Devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face."
-Nelson DeMilleThe dark strains of "Immortal" by Adema play as the Dead comes out with Intercontinental Championship upon his shoulders...and all of DEVIL flanking him from the tag match before, carrying steel chairs. The crowd boos and Ravenna looks angry as Eco takes a microphone.
Eco: Do not worry, Rav. We seek no malfeasance tonight. In fact, we will be sitting right up here. (Infieri begins laying out the folding chairs.) We simply wish a front-row seat as our friend The Dead triumphs once again. Nothing personal, of course.
The four men and Lauren sit down atop the stage as The Dead enters the ring and hands the belt to the referee. The bell rings and this one is ON! The Dead attempts a quick CTC to Ravenna, but she falls back to dodge as Dead laughs. He mockingly extends a hand to help her up, but she grabs it before he can pull it away and rolls him into a cross-arm bar. Dead flails, finally reversing into a head scissors on Ravenna, who quickly kicks her way to the ropes. Dead releases the hold as Ravenna slides out of the ring. Dead grabs her by the hair to pull her up, but she guillotines him on the ropes, knocking him back. Ravenna climbs up to the apron and launches herself over with a senton! She hooks the leg and goes for the cover...good for two!
Ravenna catches Dead with a couple hard kicks to the ribs, sending him flying. She bounds off the ropes, rolling thunder attempt---misses wildly! Then again, ostensibly only rolling lightning would ever do any damage... The Dead, who rolled out of the way, forces Ravenna into the corner and begins stomping the proverbial mud hole. After about 15 quick stomps, the referee forces him out of the corner, warning him sternly. the Dead backs up, and then runs straight at Ravenna with a face wash flat kick right across the cheekbone and nose, causing Ravenna to slightly bleed from the nose. He touches her face and shows the blood on his hand, drawing boos from the audience and polite claps from the DEVILs.
The Dead backs up, preparing another face wash, but Ravenna pulls herself through the ropes and The Dead crotches himself on the middle rope, making an appropriately funny football-to-testicles face. Ravenna pulls herself through the second rope and then pulls up, catching Dead with a double-kick to the face Christian-style. Dead stumbles back as Ravenna goes to the top rope, waiting for Dead to turn back around...MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE CHEST! Dead goes flying back and Ravenna collects herself. After a couple seconds, she runs over for a cover, but Dead powers out at two, into a reverse bridging Dragon Sleeper! Ravenna may be caught! She intently shifts her weight to her left side and extends her free arm, successfully grabbing the bottom rope even as Dead increases the pain by wrenching back. Dead eventually breaks at the four count, lifting Ravenna up for a release belly to belly attempt--Dead follows through, but Ravenna somehow twists in midair to land on all fours. Dead comes back up slowly, expecting to see her down--Ravenna suddenly nails Dead with her own SUPERKICK! As he is about to fall over, she grabs his head and gestures to the crowd toward the turnbuckle post. The assembled members of DEVIL begin to look concerned...save Eco. She runs up the turnbuckle...DIAMOND DUST! DIAMOND DUST CONNECTS! She has Dead set for a cover! We're going to have a new champion!
Suddenly...
All the lights go out.
Except for one spotlight atop the stage, showing Eco, Vangarde, Infieri, Larson and Lauren sitting quietly. There is noise from the ring, and when the lights come back on, The Dead has been rolled on top of Ravenna, steel chair sitting outside the ring. The referee looks around, but there is no one to be found and he doesn't notice the chair. He counts slowly: 1....2....3.
WINNER in 10:22...and STILL Intercontinental Champion...The Dead!
Vangarde and Infieri walk down to the ring, helping Dead walk out as Lauren takes the belt. Ecosystem raises his microphone to his lips once more as Larson collects chairs.
Eco: And now you see, Ravenna. All your boogeymen, all the "bad guys" sitting up here quietly, none of us did a damn thing to you tonight. Is it possible Ravenna...is it possible there is dissension in your ranks? That one you believe to be with you would secretly rejoice in your fall?
Think it over. And then consider which thing this company needs: good role models...or the fires of purgation.
DEVIL exits, quietly, as Ravenna comes to in the ring, helped up by Chris Evans, who has entered through the crowd. She pushes him off, thinking he was the one who jumped her for a second, but he pleads innocence. Ravenna nods, and leaves with Evans.
FIREWOMAN vs. MATT FOLZ – OOWF World Heavyweight Title 2 out of 3 Falls Match; LD Williams Special Guest RefereeSpecial referee L.D. Williams comes to the ring first, without music or fanfare.
