PRISCILLA WINTERS vs AZURINE VEBBINS
The two fan favorites kicked off the show with a respectful handshake. As soon as they locked up, the more powerful Azurine took control by shoving Winters backwards and caught her with a European uppercut as she tried to get ehr balance. Vebbins landed several hard chops, backing Priscilla off before she scooped her up into a fallaway slam. But Winters didn’t stay down long, popping right up…but into a discus clothesline from Azzy before she went for the cover.
Winters kicked out and Vebbins pulled her back to her feet, sending her across with an Irish whip. But Priscilla reversed it, and caught her on the rebound with a spinning backfist that sent Azzy stumbling. Winters quickly followed up with quick right hands to the head. A snapmare takeover put her down on the mat before she took off for the far side to deliver a basement dropkick to her chest on the rebound. Vebbins was pulled back to her feet and sent into the corner before Priscilla hammered her with repeated elbow strikes before Azzy staggered out. A scorpion kick put her on the mat before Winters went for the cover.
Vebbins got her shoulder up. Priscilla looked to land a brainbuster next, but Azurine landed on her feet behind her. She quickly grabbed her arms for a full nelson facebuster that planted the brunette before she scooped up both legs for the cover.
Winters got her shoulder up before Azzy took off for the far side. When Priscilla was back to her feet, Vebbins used her springboard double ax handle. It connected perfectly, and set up for the dragon suplex into a two-handed jawbreaker that floored Winters before she went for the successful cover.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): AZURINE VEBBINS
_____________________________________________
Ironside came out to to a nice pop from the crowd, lots of love for their local handicapped hero but Atlas wasn't thrilled and he blindsided Ironside, shoving him hard into the corner. He nailed some devastating corner-trapped shoulder thrusts and then when Max slumped into sitting on the second turnbuckle, nailed a textbook running dropkick to the face! Ironside was down and looked like he wasn't about to get back up but Atlas wasn't taking any chances, stomping a vicious mudhole before scooping the Handicapped Hero up with a deadlift! Running powerslam! HOLY SHIT! He hoisted Ironside up again and nailed a vicious powerbomb. Another scoop and this time Ironside fought his way out only to eat some brutal forearm shivers. Atlas scooped him up yet again! GLOBE BREAKER AND THE PINFALL COVER WAS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE FINGER RESTING ON IRONSIDE'S CHEST AS THE OFFICIAL MADE THE COUNT.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): ETHAN ATLAS
When the bell sounded, it was Mateo and Kaya starting off for their respective teams. It didn’t take long for him to take control of the match as he muscled Parker back into the ropes. As soon as the referee demanded a break, Mateo obliged and caught her with a spinning back heel kick too.From there, he unloaded with several quick strikes before tagging in his mother. The duo whipped her across for the ride into a flapjack before Vega took over in the ring. Kaya made it back to her feet, and caught Vega off guard with a headbutt to the face that stunned her. That’s when Parker’s striking game came into play with multiple kicks to the body before putting her down with a gutbuster followed by a cover.
Vega kicked out and Kaya pulled her towards the corner, making the tag to Lilith. They both worked her over in the corner with chops and a double vertical suplex before Lilith looked to keep her down with a standing fist drop. An Asai moonsault followed that before Parker went for the cover only for Vega to immediately kick out. Vega was pulled back to her feet, and whipped across to the far side. Parker went for a lungblower on the rebound, but Vega hooked the ropes and let her opponent crash on the mat instead. She quickly rolled her up, looking for the victory.
Lilith got her shoulder off the canvas in time. After taking a second to collect herself, she dragged Lilith to the center and used a catapult to send her face first into the Tigres’ corner. A quick tag to Mateo followed before they executed a spike piledriver with Mateo on the middle rope. He caught her with snake eyes in the corner, sending her stumbling backwards before he managed to connect with his springboard sitout facebuster. He tagged his mother as Lilith was starting to rise, delivering his springboard dropkick before she landed her bridging German suplex into a pin.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): LOS TIGRES
This match was back and forth from the start with referee Soames doing his back to keep up with the action. Gilchrist tried to frustrate Mark Storm with his mat wrestling and submission moves but Storm managed to either counter or find the ropes for the break. Gilchrist played to the crowd a lot and boasted about the benefits of the Vilaro System. Chad stepped through the ropes and climbed the turnbuckle. He was looking to finish off Storm with the 21st Century Elbow drop but that’s when the tide turned.
Storm got to his feet and dropped Gilchrist off the top rope which knocked him to the arena floor. Getting a second wind, Storm took the fight to Gilchrist. After brawling on the outside, Storm rolls Chad back into the ring and began hitting him with high impact moves including German Suplexes, a brainbuster, and a deadlift gutwrench sitout powerbomb. Storm couldn’t manage to put Chad away but then he attempted his Incursio! finisher but Gilchrist escaped by going to the eyes. Storm charged at Chad with a shotgun kick but Gilchrist moved out of the way causing Storm to hit referee Soames by mistake.
With the referee down, Gilchrist went back on the attack. The crowd suddenly popped as members of the BCWW raced to the ring. Jiritsu and Pyrebird made it to ringside quickly as Gilchrist and Storm continued to battle. Jiritsu tended to the referee as Pyrebird grabbed a steel chair and slid into the ring. Pyrebird reared back and swung the steel chair but once again Gilchrist dodged causing Storm to get leveled with the chair. Mark was laid out as Chad turned around. There was a big smile on his face as he reached his hand into the air for a high five but PB swung the steel chair again and leveled Gilchrist.
Pyrebird exited the ring with the steel chair as Jiritsu continued to try to get Soames back on his feet. Slowly, both Gilchrist and Storm staggered back to a vertical base. Mark came up from behind Chad and then planted him with Heroes End! A woozy "Big J" Soames crawled over and made the count, giving Mark Storm the win.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): MARK STORM
Storm got to his feet holding his head in pain. Soames raised his arm into the air but Storm snatched it away and pointed down at the members of the BCWW. It was clear that Storm was not happy about the chair shot earlier but both BCWW members headed back up the ramp, satisfied with their handiwork.
This match pitted the wrestler formerly known as Reno Nevada against a member of The Kingdom in Madison Carter. Jezebel Jobs stood in Madison’s corner on the outside as referee Neil Rana was the official. Hollywood avoided and dodged Madison every single time she tried to get close to him or tie up. Hollywood ducked through the ropes and force Rana to back Madison away. The more frustrated Madison got, the more it worked in Hollywood’s favor. A short-arm clothesline and vicious mudhole stomps had Carter down and out. Hollywood C.A. took to the send rope and then landed a pointed elbow drop but it only got him a two count.
Hollywood was back up to his feet quickly and grabbed hold of Madison by the hair. He placed her head between her legs and attempted a piledriver. However, Madison countered it with a hurricanrana that snapped him down to the canvas. Hollywood got back up to his feet in pain but requested a do over. Rana looked at him like he was crazy but Hollywood C.A. demanded that a second take of the piledriver be given and that Madison should return to her position between his legs without argument. Madison caught Hollywood with a superkick under the chin before racing for the ropes. She rebounded off and then took her opponent down with Rasenshuriken. Madison followed it up with nailing Hollywood with Plot Armor in the corner.
Hollywood rolled out of the ring before he could be pinned. Madison didn’t give him time to breathe on the outside as she leaped over the ropes and took him down with a tope con hilo. Madison had Hollywood reeling but took her foot off the gas pedal that gave him the opening to drop her throat first on the barricade and then send her crashing into the steel ring steps. Hollywood C.A. rolled into the ring to break up Rana’s count before rolling back out. Hollywood grabbed a hold of Madison’s FTW Championship belt and mocked her with it. That was short lived as Jezebel chased Hollywood C.A. around the ringside area threatening to bite his entire face off. Hollywood dropped the title and slid back into the ring for safety as Madison rolled herself back in.
Hollywood took down Carter with a gutbuster and then followed up with a running shoulder breaker. Hollywood C.A. pulled Madison back up and went for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood but Jezebel hopped up to the ring apron. Jobs grabbed a hold of her top and began to pull it up to flash Hollywood who lost all focus on the match. But it was a bluff and this gave Madison the chance to hook him and plant him down with Bankai. Madison made the cover but much to her surprise Hollywood managed to get a shoulder up before the three. Carter got up to her feet as Jezebel hopped down off the apron. She waited for Hollywood to use the ropes to pull himself up and then charged forward. Madison went for Fan Service but Hollywood counters and slammed her down to the canvas. Hollywood waited for Madison to get back up to her feet and once she regained a vertical base, Hollywood raced forward.
Hollywood C.A. went for Flying Knee but Madison ducked and caused him to crash and burn into the turnbuckle hard. Hollywood hit the canvas holding his knee in pain as Madison stepped through the ropes. Madison climbed to the top rope as Jezebel shouted encouragement to her. Madison found her balance on the top rope and then leaped off and connected with The Spirit Bomb down onto Hollywood! With a quick hook of the leg, Madison secured a big win, keeping up her momentum headed towards SOLSTICE III.
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): MADISON CARTER
BRYAN FORD vs WALKER HILL
Walker was quick to welcome Bryan Ford to Reno, looking to take charge of the match with some hard strikes only for Ford to slip out of harm’s way. The two circled each other, each with an identical look of determination before Walker stopped and held up his hand, looking for that old school greco-roman knuckle lock. Ford immediately obliged to a huge pop from the crowd and then the two were trying to power each other down until Ford pulled Walker in close for a meeting of the minds. The headbutt left Walker dazed enough to miss the incoming leg sweep that dropped him to the canvas. Ford levelled in a few stomps before Walker rolled aside. Back up, all pretenses of friendliness were gone as Walker rushed at Ford, pummeling him with some STIFF strikes. Ford fired back, nailing a hard kick to the guts before hooking his arms! HIGH IMPACT DDT! Ford hooked the leg but Walker kicked out immediately, refusing to go down without more of a fight.
Smirking sadistically as he circled, Ford waited for Walker to get back up. As soon as Walker was vertical, Ford charged in with a spear. Walker saw it coming and dove at the last second, rolling under the bottom rope to the floor. He caught himself on his knees but the speedy Ford blasted him in the face with a baseball slide. Ford hauled Walker up and tossed him back into the ring. He hopped up on the apron, posing for the crowd – SNAPSHOT! The slingshot into a spear turned Walker inside out and Ford went for the pin again. No dice! Walker got the shoulder up again!
Ford tried to get a lion tamer going but Walker caught a rope break. Both men hit their feet, Walker looking a bit worse for wear as Ford went for a suplex. QUICK ROLLUP FROM WALKER! Ford broke free at the last second, rolling out of the ring. Walker dragged himself unsteadily to his feet, seeming to draw energy from the hyped crowd. Ford rolled back into the ring, eating a short-armed clothesline. Walker pulled Ford forward, trying to sling him at the ropes, but Ford resisted and reversed it into a corner whip. He followed Walker in with a hard body block and an elbow to the face. Hangover Cure and Walker was dazed from that bicycle kick to the back of the head. Ford scooped Walker up into that shoulder mount – SUDDEN SILENCE! Walker went down hard and Ford dove across to hook both legs for a decisive debut win!
WINNER (VIA PINFALL): BRYAN FORD
