GOWC WEEKLY REVIEW FOR NOVEMBER 7TH
Fade in to the GOWC Logo, which is a dark green Lake Ontario with Greater Ontario Wrestling Conference written in Gold lettering underneath. Then crossfade to James Irish, a 40-something balding man wearing a dress shirt and a purple tie, sitting at a silver colored news desk set-up.
James Irish: Hello, Wrestling Fans, and welcome to Greater Ontario Wrestling Conference’s Weekly Review! I’m James Irish, this is our inaugural episode, and we have a fascinating show lined up for you. Let’s actually kick things off by taking you all to one of the matches we recorded for the Review when we were last in Syracuse, here’s Heenan Family stalwart Big Bully Busick in action against the ever-perishable Milkman, Jake Milliman. Let’s go to the footage.
BIG BULLY BUSICK w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan vs JAKE “THE MILKMAN” MILLIMAN:
Jake is able to reverse an Irish Whip into the turnbuckle early on and scores a couple strikes, but the Bully blocks a chop and just takes over, having a grand old time tossing him around with power slams and the Bully Blaster. A leg drop following that sequence gets a 2 count, and all that gets Jake is a further beating including some shots to the eye. Busick finishes it with a slingshot atomic drop, which is too much for the Milkman and he's down for the 3 count.
Back to the studio
James Irish: A convincing victory for the Bully, which I’m sure is reassuring for Bobby Heenan and the GOCW Men’s Champion, Nick Bockwinkle, as they prepare for the Lumberjack Match with the title on the line against the Limitless Keith Lee when we return to Buffalo in December. Bockwinkle has been letting off some steam over the weekend on, of all places for him, Twitter, with the following diatribe against Lee posted this past Sunday. Quote:
“Keith Lee has little idea what he has gotten himself into. With men at the ring with a vested interest in my retaining the conference’s championship, he had best hope he does not land outside the ring, or else he will be deflated like so many of the hot air balloons he reminds me a-“
James Irish: The tweet ended there, right at the character limit. This was followed by several more tweets generally complaining about Twitter as a platform. I wish to remind Twitter and its owners that the views of Nick Bockwinkle do not reflect Greater Ontario Wrestling, its management or its sponsors. We are, after all, trying to become a verified account at some point. Regardless, that match and many more are on our road schedule, and here’s where you can find us next:
On November 19, we are back in the Rochester area at the Dome Arena in Henrietta, with a scheduled main event of Bruiser Brody and “Mr. Athletic” Jeff Cobb in a dog collar match! Plus Tina Moretti versus Leva Bates, Hurt Trust LLC taking on the Texas Hangmen, Kairi Sane in action against Josephine Blatt, and many more still to be announced!
December 3, we return to Buffalo and debut at the Buffalo Riverworks! Our scheduled main event will be GOCW Men’s Champion Nick Bockwinkle against Keith Lee in a Lumberjack Match! We will be continuing our series of matches to build towards an Ontario Rules 4 way match to determine our first women’s champion as well, with Jazz scheduled to be in action that night!
On December 10, we are in Niagara Falls, New York, and on the 17th we will make our Canadian debut on the other side of the Falls! We are, of course, off on Christmas Eve, but on December 30, we are in Hamilton, Ontario Canada for our Year End Blowout! Both our Conference Men’s Championship and the Tag Team Championship will be on the line against the top ranked contenders, and we have negotiated a special appearance by Florida Panhandle Wrestling’s Heavyweight Champion, THE AMERICAN DREAM DUSTY RHODES, in a non-title special attraction match against a suitable opponent! We’ve got a lot of guys who would love to test their mettle against the world famous Son of a Plumber, but whoever it is, we promise you will want to see it live!! Tickets for all these events are on sale now at GOWC Wrestling dot com, and will be available at the door if any remain before the night of the event.
And now a word from our sponsor, Skinny Minis!
Back from ad…
James Irish: Now, ladies and gentlemen, we return to the ring for our featured match. Longtime journeywoman Malia Hosaka is taking on GOCW’s own Fallen Idol, Maki Itoh!
MALIA HOSAKA vs MAKI ITOH:
Clearly not taking her opponent seriously, Maki just laps the taste out of Hosaka's mouth, and that's all she slaps because Malia comes in with a series of karate kicks that floor the fallen idol! Hosaka makes a stunning display of agile attacks, and Itoh rolls out of the ring to try and shake the cobwebs. Malia follows, and just gets one of Itoh's headbutts for doing so, and Maki rolls her back into the ring to just ram her head into the turnbuckle, and she goes for the Flying Big Head but doesn't get all of it, since Hosaka is only down for a 2 count. Itoh keeps it up, slapping Malia in the corner before locking on the Itoh Deluxe! Malia gets to the ropes, but cannot get up in time to mount a defense against Itoh Special followed by a second application of the Itoh Deluxe, which forces the Honolulu native to tap out!
Back in the studio…
James Irish: And there you have it, everyone. Maki Itoh makes it on the board for the first time with a point towards earning a shot at the Conference Women's Championship. This may not be the last we see of Malia Hosaka, however, since she has expressed interest in returning after she finishes some commitments to other promotions on the West coast, including our friends at Mount St. Helens Wrestling. We will see you next in Rochester, and here is our scheduled card. Until next time, I’m James Irish and on behalf of everyone here at GOWC, thank you for supporting this sport.
The following day, the next card is announced!

Back in the Dome Arena in Henrietta, and the crowd is PUMPED for a night of action! On to our first match!
LADY SHANI vs MAKI ITOH:
In this rematch from End of the Origin, Shani attempts to fake a handshake, but there's no getting that past Itoh, who forces Shani into the corner and begins slapping and chopping the living daylights out of Lady Shani! She's the very picture of fury as she continues her assault, but only gets a 2 count off the Flying Big Head. Maki just plants her foe down with a jumping DDT, but gets too aggressive when she sends Lady Shani into the ropes and Shani comes back with a shoulder tackle. Shani is trying everything, trying to keep Itoh down, but the tide slowly turns, and Itoh begins asserting her offense. Still, it takes several pin attempts to keep the Mexico City native down long enough, only the second attempt at Flying Big Head in the end is able to get it done, finally putting Shani's lights out.
THE DREAM TEAM (BRUTUS BEEFCAKE & GREG “THE HAMMER” VALENTINE w/”Luscious” Johnny V) vs WAR MACHINE (HANSON & ROWE):
Two teams both hungry for a win, and both willing to do it by any means necessary. Any early advantage by any of these four men is quickly countered and stalemated. It's like this for a good five minutes before Valentine gets an opening, knocks Hanson down with an elbow to the head, and covers him for a 2 following a falling elbow hammer. Beefcake tags in, and Hanson scrambles to get Rowe in, and now they go back and forth, the highlight being Brutus getting a near fall off the jumping high knee. The Dream Team keep the assault on Rowe going, and he just keeps kicking out. Valentine launches him out of the ring, and wallops him with a small foreign object before rolling him back into the ring and tossing him into the ropes, but Hanson reaches out and gets a blind tag! Hanson hits Snake Eyes on Valentine, but only gets a 2 count! Valentine doesn't get much respite, being hit by the War Machine's namesake move, and he has to summon up all his strength to kick out! Johnny V gets Rowe's (the legal man) attention giving Valentine enough time to get to his corner and tag in Beefcake. Beefcake gets Rowe out of the ring, and plasters him with the steel steps! The referee starts the 10 count, and Rowe is able to get himself back in at 9! Beefcake misses with the knee, and Hanson tags back in! He's a house of fire, culminating in the War Machine finisher... but Johnny V pulls on Hanson to break up the pin!! Hanson chases the manager around, but Valiant eludes him under the ring. Hanson just goes back to Beefcake and the slugfest between these two two teams just refuses to end, none of these men giving any quarter. Eventually an exhausted Rowe gives in to a backbreaker drop from Beefcake, as the Dream Team scores the victory, and for the moment there seems to be peace with them and their manager.
KYLE O’REILLY vs JOHNNY RODZ:
As the bell rings, Rodz throws O'Reilly into the turnbuckle, but gets the spit knocked out of him as Kyle gets a boot up with picture perfect timing! Kyle goes for a quick cover, Rodz kicks out, and O'Reilly shows the ring rust might as well be non-existent, showing off every trademark move to an appreciative audience and making Rodz grab the ropes to escape a triangle choke. A mere moment later, O'Reilly locks in Armageddon in the center of the ring, and Johnny Rodz has to tap out.
After the match, Kyle asks for a microphone:
Kyle O'Reilly: Shane Douglas! I know you're not here tonight, so there's not much point in a challenge now, but I know you're going to see this, and I want another go at it. If the brass will let it happen, let's do it at the next show in Buffalo. If not, whenever they have the space. I've got all the time in the world to wait for you to be ready!
AN INTERVIEW WITH BOBBY “THE BRAIN” HEENAN, ANGELICO AND SCOTT NORTON:
Alicia Coast is backstage with Bobby Heenan and his tag team, Viscous and Auspicious. And Heenan is wearing a ridiculous neck brace, his left arm is in an immobilizer brace, and he's NOT in a good mood.
Alicia Coast: Bobby, you're not fooling any of us. Keith Lee didn't land on you that ha-
Bobby Heenan: GIVE ME A BREAK, YOU HUMANOID!! Keith Lee! This is extra personal now! This is beyond Bockwinkle and the title! My choices were either to pay half of Elon Musk's fortune to get experimental surgery following your cruel and unusual assault on my person, or spend a whole year in this ridiculous get-up! By the time I'm done with you, Lee, you'll be the one flatter than a pancake! You can run, not very fast of course, but hiding will be impossible from the wrath of the Brain! Norton, take over here, I need to get ready to accompany the Living Minerva to the ring.
Heenan hobbles off, as Alicia turns the mic to the big man.
Scott Norton: I'm sure our paths will cross sooner than later, Keith Lee, but Angelico and I, we're not here to just be a token tag team in a stable. We want gold around our waists just like our boy Nick does! So Hurt Trust! You want to see which tag teams are worthy? How about while we're in Buffalo we get the next match in your indulgent little "non title" series. I can out power either of you, and Angelico here can out fly anything you can pull off!
Angelico: To put it simply, he's viscous, I'm auspicious, and you two will look cadaverous once we're done.
KAIRI SANE vs JOSEPHINE BLATT w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan:
Kairi is virtually greased lightening as she strikes at Blatt, even getting her to the mat with a stunning Alabama slam, but the effort seems to have winded Sane as Blatt is able to take over the offense. Josephine gets a 2 count following a Cannonball Lift, but the Body Vice is too much agony backed by too much strength for Sane to counter, and she submits.
NON-TITLE MATCH: HURT TRUST LLC (CEDRIC ALEXANDER & SHELTON BENJAMIN) vs THE TEXAS HANGMEN (KILLER & PSYCHO):
Benjamin is just fired up, dropkicking Psycho into a neutral corner, then hitting a splash, a springboard clothesline and a superkick, getting the masked Hangman down for a 2 count. Cedric tags in, and connects with a thrilling Sky Fall Frog Splash, and Killer has to break up the pin attempt. It's just all Hurt Trust as they tag in and out quickly, scoring successful double team moves, but Psycho won't even stay down for the Paydirt. Cedric is back in, and Psycho catches a high kick and and floors Alexander with a belly to belly suplex, finally getting Killer into the match. Cedric tries to slip away, but the Hangmen just pummel him in the corner as they display their own approach to teamwork, but Psycho's tossing Alexander into the turnbuckle gets reversed, and Cedric clotheslines him down. Psycho gets up only to be cross body blocked for a pin attempt, and Killer tries to break it up again only for Shelton to stop him in his tracks! 1... 2... Psycho still kicks out! That leads to these two stubborn gladiators trying to get the better of one another, countering half of each other's offense, but Killer manages to switch places as referee John Parungao has to admonish Cedric and Shelton for not stopping a stompdown in the corner fast enough! Shelton is legal at this point, and he barely escapes a body slam attempt from Killer. It's more back and forth action for a good while, as the Hangmen show their toughness, but in the end, Killer is dispatched for the 3 count by a full nelson facebuster from Cedric! Another team falls in competition to the tag champs!
PRE-RECORDED PROMO PACKAGE:
Tape is rolled of a forest filled with tall, mighty oak trees, and a large, burly, bearded man in red flannel, jeans and a wool hat, and carrying an axe, emerges to address the camera, which slowly zooms in on him as he speaks so by the time it's done, the image is a close-up of his face.
Jos LeDuc: So, the Greater Ontario Wrestling Conference is coming to my beloved Canada in the near future? Good! I welcome them with open arms! My name is Jos LeDuc, and the greater wrestling world knows my reputation well as a man who keeps promises and breaks bodies! And the Greater Ontario Conference has signed me to a contract to compete on both sides of Lake Ontario, in America and in Canada. Make no mistake, though; I care little where you are from. Tough men are bred the world over, and I have fought many of them! Few have won, but all have come to fear what I bring to the ring! And in Buffalo, I will have a front row seat to see the best your conference has to offer, as I will be at ringside to be one of the Lumberjacks in the Men's Championship match. Bockwinkle, Lee... you had better hope neither of you land on my side of the arena floor.
“THE LIBRARIAN” LEVA BATES vs TINA MORETTI:
Determined to qualify for the title match here and now, Leva seeks to make this her third straight victory in the division and is just a blur of flying head scissors and dropkicks, getting an early 2 count after the Shiranui. Tina escapes the ring, and pulls on Leva's hair to slam her face into the steel steps, allowing her to mount offense back in the ring with a Northern Lights Suplex and an elbow smash after sending Bates into the ropes. The Moretti Driver knocks Leva around some more, but the Librarian is able to get enough wherewithal to block a rolling neck snap. She can't get the momentum back, though, and Tina bulldogs her to the mat. Tina launches Leva into the ropes again, but just gets a knee to her stomach as Bates exploits the slightest of openings, and hits Critical Confirmation! Tina can only kick out just after referee Krissi Harding's hand comes down for 3! Leva Bates is the first to qualify!! Moretti is furious, shouting at the ref about a "fast count," but Harding stands by her cadence and decision.
DOG COLLAR MAIN EVENT: BRUISER BRODY vs “MR ATHLETIC” JEFF COBB:
It doesn't take long for these two to start a tug of war with the chain, with Brody pulling Cobb in for a clothesline and powering him out of the ring, where they waste even less time sending each other into the ring post; first Cobb goes in, then he rights himself as Bruiser tries it again and reverses it, then hits Tour of the Islands on Brody's rebound! Rolling him back into the ring, he just gets a 2 off the pin attempt. Cobb gets Brody back up, and the always cagey Bruiser is able to find just enough neck on Cobb to choke him with the chain. Brody tries the jumping knee drop, and is successful but Cobb is too fresh to be pinned, too. Brody keeps the pressure on, trying the pin after a one handed body slam, but Cobb still won't stay down for 3. Clearly reeling, Mr. Athletic makes one last try for the advantage, and clotheslines Brody just as the Bruiser hits one of his own! Brody is up once the ref counts to 5, he lands the jumping knee drop again, and it's clear Jeff Cobb has bitten off more than he can chew as he cannot kick out this time.
(Yeah, I was hoping to get a little more out of Cobb here, but his defenses are not nearly as good as Brody's are and the dice just weren't on his side. Time to move both men on from this.)

Cobb was tough, but not tough enough. Brody is the man! I'm excited the see LeDuc in action. Maybe a match with Brody could be in his future?

Looking forward to seeing what's next Seeing Leva vs Brittney Blake at Flower City Comic Con in a cosplay match where they were portraying Felicia and X-23 (respectively) was a big part of what drew me back into pro wrestling beyond just revisiting the stuff from what I grew up with and before, after I had backed off for a while. I could just tell they were having FUN with Blake quipping "Bye, Felicia!" before winning the second of 3 falls, and Leva racing backstage because of a "hairball." So yeah, massive soft spot for Leva and I'm glad her Promoter Prime card is stated to be a solid contender. |

James Irish: Hello, Wrestling Fans, and welcome to Greater Ontario Wrestling Conference’s Weekly Review! I’m James Irish, here at GOCW headquarters, and we are still reeling from the impact of our last Fall Fight Fest tour stop’s action! Of course, before the show went live in Independent Wrestling TV, we recorded a pair of matches exclusive to this channel, and we’re going to get you started with this battle between Willow Nightingale and Penelope Ford. Let’s go to the action!
WILLOW NIGHTINGALE vs “SUPER BAD GIRL” PENELOPE FORD:
Willow is dancing as the bell rings and Penelope blindsides her with forearms and roundhouse kicks, leading into a Codebreaker for a pin attempt and a two count. The Super Bad Girl's control is undeniable as she locks in hold after hold, then hits the Super Bad Cutter, but Willow is refusing to stay down! Willow is drawing on all of her reserves, reversing a thrust kick and sending Ford into the turnbuckle, but Penelope gets her bearings back and kicks Nightingale in the face, then locks in Cattle Mutilation! Willow struggles, and just gets her foot out of bounds forcing the ref to order the hold broken! Willow struggles to get back up, and Penelope hits a successful handspring back elbow once she is up, sending her to the mat for a three count. The Superbad Girl is on the board for contention for the Conference Women's Championship with a victory!
Back in the studio…
James Irish: Talk about a much-needed win for Penelope Ford, that puts her back in the conversation for the big women’s title match for sure. And now, the following message was provided to us by Colt Cabana, in response to his defeat against Baron von Raschke. It’s… unique?
Cut to Colt Cabana wearing his ring gear and an army helmet, standing in front of a massive Art of Wrestling Podcast logo flag. It’s pretty clearly a parody of the opening scene of “Patton.”
Colt Cabana: Be seated. Now, I want you all to remember that no man ever won a war by being pinned or submitted. He wins it by making his opponent be pinned or force him to submit. Man, all this stuff you’ve heard from Baron von Raschke about men not wanting to fight, it’s a lot of horse dung! Wrestlers, traditionally, love to fight, they love the rush of adrenaline when the bell rings! And just because a real man does not need to be defined by violence does not mean he is incapable of it!
When I was a kid, I admired the submission specialists, the bad ass brawlers, the technical masters, the power houses, all of them. I aspired to join their ranks, and I’d like to think I did pretty damn good. Wrestling loves a winner and will not pay much to a loser! The very thought of losing is hateful to a wrestler… or rather his pocket book. Which is what brings me here today. Baron von Raschke made me submit to the Claw. He wore me down, dropped me to the mat, and ended the match with that hold. And we all know he’s not done. He said it himself, he craves a war.
Well, we have the best wrestlers, the best training, and the best fans in the sport today! We will fight in the arenas, we will fight in the rec centers, we will fight in the armories, and we will fight on the beaches of Lake Ontario provided it’s not in the middle of winter! And most of all, we will not let a single surrender be the end of the story! We shall return, and we will raise the flag of victory over those who would bring needless war to our great sport!
Fade out, and quickly fade back into the studio.
James Irish: If I had a bingo card of movies wrestlers would attempt to parody in the process of making a point, Patton would not have been on that one. Leave it to Colt to keep everyone surprised, though! But if you want to see Colt, the Baron, and all the rest of our many great wrestlers, here is where we will be through the month of December!
On December 3, we make our first appearance at the Riverworks in Buffalo, NY! Of course, our scheduled main event is for the Conference Men’s Championship, with Keith Lee challenging champion Nick Bockwinkle in a Lumberjack Match, with the Heenan Family, the Limitless Legion, Kyle O’Reilly, and perhaps most unpredictably, conference newcomer Jos LeDuc on hand at ringside as lumberjacks! We will also have for you the continued series of the Hurt Trust taking on all comers, with Scott Norton and Angelico stepping up to the plate to earn a tag team title shot. You will also see Jazz versus Penelope Ford, Nyla Rose taking on Kairi Sane, Tomohiro Ishii in action, and much more!
Then on December 10, we’re back in Niagara Falls, New York, and we have signed the debut of Toni Rose for that show! She will take on Leva Bates, plus we have scheduled Jeff Cobb versus Haku, The Killer Bees will be in action, and much more to be announced!
We cross the border for the first time that following week on December 17 as we arrive at the Canadian side of the Falls, then we are off for Christmas Eve. On December 30, we are back with the Year End Blowout! All our titles will be on the line, and we will have a special appearance by Florida Panhandle Wrestling Champion Dusty Rhodes, the one and only American Dream, for a non title match! Then on January 7, we open the new year in a big way in Toronto! Visit our website for ticket information for these and all of our upcoming live events!
And now, this message from our (only) sponsor, Skinny Minis!
Back from the ad break…
James Irish: Folks, during the break, I was just informed that we got a contract back from Shane Douglas for our Buffalo show, and the other name on the contract is not Kyle O’Reilly. You will recall Kyle called out the Franchise Player at our show in Henrietta, and has said he is willing to wait for Shane to be good and ready. Well, according to what I’ve been told, Shane has selected what he deems to be appropriate competition… in Jake “The Milkman” Milliman. Yes, you heard that right. This is who a former world champion has picked to be “appropriate competition.” Don’t get me wrong, Jake is certainly tougher than your average joe on the street, he would certainly beat me from pillar to post if I had to get into the ring with him, but the comparison between his record and Douglas’ honestly speaks for itself.
But now, it’s time for our featured bout, continuing the battles between the Heenan Family and the Limitless Legion, we have Angelico taking on the inimitable Super Nova. Here’s the match!
SUPER NOVA vs ANGELICO w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan:
These two charge right at each other the second Nova hits the ring, and ring announcer Mike Cusey has to bolt out of the way as Angelico kicks Nova in the knee and starts working over his foe's legs with strikes and stomps. Nova's still quick enough that once he's out of the ring he evades one of Angelico's suicide dives, though, and Nova rolls him back in for a Japanese arm drag, and tosses Angelico into the ropes only for him to plant Nova with a DDT after he signaled the back body drop too early. Angelico locks on Cruceta Invertidas (an Inverted Figure Four for those not in the know) but Nova reaches the ropes to break the hold. Angelico goes for the top turnbuckle, and the two of them take turns trying to keep the other from landing a massive blow, and eventually when they're back on the ground Angelico hits a super kick and scores a two count off the resulting pin. Angelico is just beating Nova from pillar to post as Bobby Heenan brags into the camera at ringside, but Nova won't stay down, even for the Fall of Angels! A frustrated (and frankly shocked) Angelico picks Nova up and starts yelling at him to stay the hell down, but Nova smacks him in the face, hits a jumping face buster, then the Scream Machine for a pin attempt and a two! Nova tries for jumping spin kick, but Angelico dodges, and lands Jackie Chan, but Nova STILL won't stay down for a pin!!
Angelico tosses Nova out of the ring, and pulverizes him with a double stomp off the apron, and the South Africa native returns to the ring to catch his breath and settle for a count out victory. Except even that isn't enough to keep Nova out of the match, as he slides into the ring at the ref's count of nine! But Angelico was ready, and he hits the Superman Senton from WAY up high, and Nova finally has had enough. He's down for the three count.
Back from the match…
James Irish: Proof positive why Bobby Heenan went and recruited the talented high flyer Angelico, ladies and gentlemen. And it’s there we leave you all for tonight, folks. On behalf of everyone here at the Greater Ontario Wrestling Conference, thank you for supporting this sport.
As usual, the next day the full card for the next show is announced!

Back in Buffalo, with a rabid crowd, we join the Greater Ontario Wrestling Conference live for the sixth entry in the Fall Fightfest Tour!
"THE STONE PITBULL" TOMOHIRO ISHII vs GREG "THE HAMMER" VALENTINE w/"Luscious" Johnny V
Two tough men in a fed that highlights men like them are in the ring as the show begins, their entrances handled before GOWC went on the air on IWTV to save time on the LOADED card. Valentine opens with a clubbing forearm, and the Stone Pitbull just looks annoyed at him! Valentine tackles him, getting a little more give from Tomohiro, and then tosses him to the ropes for a back body drop but Ishii just grabs the Hammer's head and headbutts his foe, then brainbusters Valentine for a 2 count! Ishii hits a second brainbuster, and Johnny V pulls Tomohiro out of the ring to break up the count. As Valentine reels and recovers, the elder Valient runs like hell from the pissed off pit bull until Brutus Beefcake emerges to protect his manager, and Tomohiro returns his attention to Valentine. The duo trade chops, and if anyone in the conference can go chop to chop with Ishii, it's Greg Valentine, but when Ishii gets enough of a head of steam, he strikes with a sliding lariat and lands a third brainbuster for a 2 count! A fourth brainbuster, still a 2 count! Johnny V leaps up to the apron as Ishii lifts Valentine up once more, and goes to blow cigar smoke at Tomohiro, but he ducks! Valentine is the one blasted by the cigar smoke! Ishii headbutts Valentine, and the pin that follows is successful!! Big win for Tomohiro Ishii!
After the match, when Valentine comes to, he is frothing at the mouth as he lets Johnny V have every piece of his mind he can muster in the foggy daze of repeated brainbusters and headbutts. Again Brutus Beefcake has to play peace maker, but this time the Hammer does not look as convinced as prior instances.
"THE FRANCHISE" SHANE DOUGLAS w/Francine vs JAKE "THE MILKMAN" MILLIMAN
The crowd is really letting the Franchise Player have it over this match, and even Francine looks a little annoyed with her partner in crime. Milliman, though, has something to prove, and after a lock up he forces Shane into the corner and looks to hit a big forearm, but Shane plows him down with a lariat. Shane hits a power bomb, a back suplex and his patented belly to belly suplex on the Milkman, and it's curtains for poor Jake.
JAZZ vs "SUPER BAD GIRL" PENELOPE FORD
A motivated Ford sends Jazz right into the turnbuckle and kicks her right in the gut, following it up with a code breaker and and attempted shoulder tackle which Jazz barely stops Penelope's momentum on. Jazz just can't keep Ford down, though, as Penelope relies on her speed advantage and keeps hitting devastating strikes, culminating in a 2 count after a second code breaker. Jazz escapes a Cattle Mutilation hold, and is dizzied by a handspring back elbow to the point where she departs the ring to clear the cobwebs, and when Penelope attempts to follow up with a suicide dive, Jazz catches her and DDT's her to the floor! Now virtually seeing red, Jazz grabs the steel steps, climbs onto the ring apron, and comes down CRASHING onto Penelope with them!! Referee John Parungao, completely shocked, calls for a disqualification, but Jazz barely notices, putting her STF onto Ford and screaming "You think you're so bad?! I'm the baddest bitch on the planet!! I own women's wrestling!!" The referee corps and security rush out to break it all up. While it counts as a point for Ford to help qualify for the Championship Match, you can imagine she won't be thrilled with it once she comes to.
AN INTERVIEW WITH KYLE O'REILLY
Backstage, Alicia Coast is with the recently returned O'Reilly.
Alicia Coast: Kyle, thank you for your time tonight, you have to be a little frustrated that Shane Douglas outright ignored your challenge.
Kyle O'Reilly: Annoyed but not at all surprised. He knows he's got a receipt coming for the broken neck he gave me, and management knows fans want to see this match, too. Ultimately nobody can force you to sign a contract, but...
Kyle reveals a secure, locked briefcase.
Kyle O'Reilly: I'm sure you guess what's in here. 100,000 dollars, Shane. You meet me for a match by the month's end, then this is the prize money for the match. I want to get my hands on you bad enough that I'm willing to gamble this on the result. So come on, Franchise, if the guy who got his neck broke by you is willing to put his money where his mouth is, you should have no problem getting in the ring with nothing to lose yourself, right?
Alicia Coast: That's a heck of a rich prize by any standard. We will update you if Shane Douglas responds to this renewed challenge, but in the meantime, back to the action!
"THE CANADIAN FREIGHT TRAIN" JOS LEDUC vs D'LO BROWN
As LeDuc makes his way to the ring, Linwood Knight mentions on commentary that his debut match was scheduled to be against Johnny Rodz, but LeDuc insisted on tougher competition, and D'Lo Brown stepped up to see how he compared to the Quebec-born powerhouse.
While Jos certainly has the power advantage, Brown is far from a slouch in that regard as the duo trade fists and knees in the opening moments of the match. D'Lo takes an advantage with a leg lariat and a scoop slam, but LeDuc headbutts his way out of a second such slam. The Canadian Freight Train tries to launch Brown into the turnbuckle, but D'Lo reverses it only to catch a harsh knee from LeDuc who switches places with Brown only for D'Lo to slip by and roll him down to the mat for a 2 count. LeDuc rolls out of the ring before D'Lo can try a moonsault, so instead Brown goes for a flying clothesline only to get thrown into the barricade by Jos! LeDuc's offense is nothing fancy, but with his power behind it, the clubbing elbows and punches have D'Lo knocked for a loop, enough for LeDuc to press slam him once they're back in the ring. The resulting pin only gets a 2. LeDuc lifts his foe back up for more punishment, and D'Lo fights back as best he can but Jos is having none of it. Twisting his head and chopping at his chest, LeDuc barely gives D'Lo room to breathe, and when Brown can mount some offense, it's quelled in no time, and the Canadian Leg Drops take their toll on the Chicago native. LeDuc telegraphs a punch too long, though, and D'Lo seizes the advantage, hitting clotheslines and a Samoan Drop Flapjack. LeDuc is sent into the turnbuckle. It's everything D'Lo has in the tank to finally strike with a Sky High, and somehow gets the pin! LeDuc gets up a couple moments later, not happy, but not about to start anything... for now.
Special Report
Linwood Knight: Fans, it's been brought to my attention that something has been making the rounds on Twitter and Instagram as it pertains to Bruiser Brody who was signing autographs during the intermission. Someone asked him about his championship prospects, and per this fan recording this is what he had to say.
We cut to a cell phone recording of Bruiser Brody at the gimmick table.
Off Camera Fan: Brody, what's keeping you from just taking that belt?
Bruiser Brody: Easy, its fear from the opposition. Not fear from Bockwinkle, though he's smart enough to be afraid he probably believes he can out wrestle me, and he might, but I damn sure want to see him try. It's Heenan who's afraid of me, and that Weasel will never let his champion sign pen to paper for a match with me. I'm almost rooting for Keith Lee, believe it or not, because Keith has some bravery to him and might even have the toolset to take me to my limit. But I'm not a stupid man, despite what some others might say, and I know if I rack up enough wins here I can make it so no matter who holds the belt they will have to face me for it. Believe me, now that I'm done with Cobb I'm going to make myself impossible to ignore very, very soon.
Back to the announce position.
Linwood Knight: We've seen Bruiser Brody in some of the toughest fights in this conference's short history, and if I were Nick Bockwinkle or Keith Lee, I'd have to be already making a plan to deal with him in the not too distant future.
Stokely Hathaway: Brody as a champion could be a disaster for any wrestler with championship aspirations. He's unpredictable, bad tempered, and listens to nobody but himself. I should know, I tried to recruit him several times across several territories and the best response he gave me was a nasty side eye.
HURT TRUST LLC (CEDRIC ALEXANDER & SHELTON BENJAMIN) vs VICIOUS & AUSPICIOUS (SCOTT NORTON & ANGELICO w/Bobby "The Brain" Heenan)
The match opens with Cedric and Angelico, and the latter bursts out the gates with strikes, a Northern Lights suplex, and a superkick before sending Alexander into the corner and tagging in Norton. Scott blasts Cedric with a clothesline and hits Flashback, and Shelton has to break up the pin attempt! Scott keeps up the offense, but in a burst of speed Cedric slips under the ropes once tossed in, and catapults himself over the ropes for a flying clothesline! Back in control, Cedric hits a jumping knee to Scott's face and tags in Shelton Benjamin. Shelton superkicks Norton and tries for a spinebuster, but Norton asserts his weight advantage and elbows Shelton in the back of the head. Now Norton tries the Flashback on Benjamin, and only gets a 2 count. Angelico tags back in, tosses Shelton into the turnbuckle, and goes in for a daring flying attack but Shelton ducks and Angelico crashes to the floor! Shelton follows only for the Brain to butt in, giving Scott Norton time to whack Shelton with a double axe handle from behind! Shelton is rolled back in as Angelico gets his steam back, hits the Fall of Angels, but Shelton still won't stay down! Angelico looks frustrated, but keeps up the assault and tags Norton back in, who hits Flashback once more, and Cedric races to successfully save his partner from the pinning predicament! Angelico dashes in as well, and the match devolves into a brawl!
Referee Krissi Harding barely manages to get control back, and Norton has Shelton in a bear hug only to hit Flashback yet again, for a 2 count. Norton growls and launches Shelton out of the ring, and when he follows, he just meets a desperate Benjamin's charge with a steel chair in hand! Harding gives Benjamin a very fierce warning, but he brings things back into the ring and Shelton tries for a powerslam but Norton head butts him dead in his tracks! Norton Irish whip's Shelton, who ducks a clothesline and strikes with one of his own. Exhausted, Shelton scurries to his corner as Norton gets to his, and a hot Cedric Alexander is on fire against Angelico, culminating in Kill 2 Kill Part II and a 2 count. Cedric climbs the turnbuckles for a diving clothesline, and Angelico superkicks him with picture perfect timing, but can only get a 2 count off that himself. Fall of Angels has to be resorted to twice, though, to pin the tag champs in this non-title match!
"THE NATIVE BEAST" NYLA ROSE vs KAIRI SANE
Kairi looks like she wants to lock up with the Native Beast, who looks at her and just says "Really?!" It's a feint, as Sane ducks under, hits the ropes, and lands a running neckbreaker. Kairi tosses Nyla into the ropes, and looks for a drop kick but Rose swats her out of the air! This starts a wild back and forth battle, with Sane escaping power moves and Rose catching Kairi's more agile attacks, to the point where one such catch results in a Beast Bomb and a 2 count. Nyla picks her foe back up, who desperately mounts a comeback with shot to Nyla's jaw and a Japanese armdrag. Kairi tries to send Nyla to the turnbuckle, but she asserts her power and slams Kairi hard to the mat! Rose goes to the top turnbuckle as Sane uses the ropes to get up, just to get a devastating knee drop to the back! Nyla hits the Beast Bomb again, and Sane is just too banged up to kick out this time. Nyla doesn't gloat for a second about the victory, though, she knows she had to work for this one and respect's Sane's crafty game plan.
MAIN EVENT CHAMPIONSHIP LUMBERJACK MATCH: NICK BOCKWINKLE (Champion) W/Bobby "The Brain" Heenan vs "LIMITLESS" KEITH LEE
First the Lumberjacks are introduced. The Heenan Family makes their way out first, and take the side of the ring to the left of the entrance way while the Brain takes a spot at the commentary table. The Limitless Legion, along with Kyle O'Reilly, come out next and take the right side. Jos LeDuc comes out alone and stands directly facing the entrance, emphasizing his neutrality and perceived interest in seeing first hand the top of the heap in this company. He points to D’Lo Brown and shouts “Next time!” at his foe from earlier.
Once the competitors make their entrances and are introduced, the bell rings, and both men spend what must feel like an eternity to them sizing each other up. With a burst of energy, Keith PLOWS Bockwinkle down with a running clothesline, and tries for a quick pin and only gets 2! The crowd is electric! Lee grabs Bockwinkle and lays in the elbows, then waistlocks Nick and tries to run him into the corner, but Nick gouges Keith's eye forcing him to loosen his grip. Bock tries to lock on an armbar, leading to the two countering holds until Nick's masterful submission work lands Lee in a Boston Crab! Keith reaches the ropes just for Nick to use them to choke him, then he forces Lee up and tosses him into the ropes, but on the way back Keith grabs the champ and belly to belly suplexes him into another pin attempt, and another 2 count. Keith launches Nick out to Jos LeDuc's side of the ring, and after the match he had with him earlier D'Lo warns the Legion side from going in. But Bockwinkle's frustration gets the better of him as he gets in a shouting match with LeDuc, culminating in the Canadian Freight Train headbutting him HARD and sending the champ back into the ring! And Keith hits the Big Bang Catastrophe! Unfortunatley for Keith, he’s too close to his foe’s lumberjacks, and Big Bully Busick snaps into action, reaching in to put his lit cigar right into Lee’s back!
Since he never entered the ring, it’s technically fair game, but still not precisely kosher, either. Kyle O'Reilly grabs a kendo stick from under the ring and charges right for the Bully, and the inevitable brawl is on! And in the chaos, Bockwinkle recovers and locks on the Figure Four Leglock!! Lee summons the power to break out of the hold, but the champ remains in control and locks on the Bockwinkle Sleeper, and Keith has to grab for the ropes. Nick low blows Keith down, and locks on the Figure Four AGAIN, and Keith still won't submit! Bockwinkle locks on the sleeper once more, but as Lee struggles Bockwinkile’s back is too close to the ropes, and Tiger Conway Jr. seizes an opportunity to even the score from earlier and smacks Bockwinkle as hard as he can! Bockwinkle tosses Conway back out, and tries for a pin, and Lee barely kicks out!! Bockwinkle is clubbing and kicking at Lee, but he makes a mistake when he overextends on a forearm smash attempt, and Lee punishes Bockwinkle for it with a big right hand! Then a belly to back suplex, then the Spirit Bomb, then ANOTHER Spirit Bomb, but Angelico pulls Bockwinkle's feet out of bounds so he can't get pinned! Keith goes back onto the offense, and somehow Bockwinkle counters a waistlock and summons the power for a back suplex! The ref makes the count... 1... 2... 3!!
Against all odds, Nick Bockwinkle's first title defense is a success! Bobby Heenan jumps in the ring to celebrate with his charge and the rest of the Heenan Family, while the Limitless Legion gets Keith out of the ring in case their foes have any more ideas. Jos LeDuc is spotted nodding at the result, his face betraying no favor or disfavor towards the champion. The only thing truly looming over the victory is the long shadow of Bruiser Brody’s words…
