[PROMO] The Elephant Never Forgets

Videos

With the spectacular A+ II behind us, it would seem that Special Envoy Patrick Feu’u and his client Prince Matautia have an open field in ALPHA. Not so! says Kevin Alloy, who has a bone to pick with the Samoan prince. This Saturday, the two powerhouses will be on opposite sides of a six-man tag when Alloy tags with Dash Springfield and El Gallito while Matautia sides with Josh Cameron and Nathan Rageous. Alloy had some severe words for Matautia earlier today and we’ve got a video for the world to see!

ALPHA Primer 12.14.10

Primers

Hope you’ve been reading your ALPHA books, class, ’cause it’s time for a pop quiz!

  • After a long wait, we are proud to announce that the video-on-demand version of our A+ II spectacular is online! Headlined by a stellar King of Savage title match between King John Hurst and the last Just Wrestling Champion Dash Springfield, the show was absolute EXCITEMENT from top to bottom! Head to www.modernvision.com to check it out!
  • John Hurst is STILL your King of Savage! But if the aftermath of the title match was any indication, Alexander Shaw and his Militia are hot on their heels and not about to give up the fight!
  • A HUGE announcement is set for this Saturday’s ALPHA 31: Burnout! What could it be? The Red Mountain Casino board of directors, which holds ALPHA’s pay-per-view contract with Modern Vision, is keeping very tight-lipped so far. You’ll have to tune in this Saturday to find out!
  • The competition of ALPHA has proven too much for many previous talents to handle, but that just means there’s more to go around for hungry newcomers! As seen on A+ II, ALPHA has signed the highly acclaimed Heirs of Wrestling to a contract! At this Saturday’s ALPHA 31, they’ll be taking on the feared Royal Lancers, who will definitely be out for blood after losing to the Surf Ninjas at A+ II.
  • In addition, the tag team combination known as the World’s Swaggest Tag Team will be making their presence felt this Saturday when they butt heads with Andre Miller and Doug Chase!
  • A hefty fine was laid on Prince Matautia for blowing a fireball at Andrew Crow to end their match at A+ II. Though Crow got a disqualification win and Matautia is being forced to pay $1000 to the Casino, he arguably got the better of the deal as Crow is out of ALPHA indefinitely!
  • Both Canada’s Finest and the Surf Ninjas secured wins at A+ II and both can make a strong claim to being the best tag team in ALPHA today. This weekend, the Canadian Jean LaFrench takes on the surfing “Danger Kid” Byron Maloka in singles action. Will the Finest repeat their performance at A Double-Dash or can Maloka ride the momentum from A+ II to a victory?
  • The hope is always that an issue can be settled after a match, but in reality, that’s not always the case. The Militia is still warring with the LIONS Fight Club, and though the LFC is still on top, A+ II showed that the battle might be getting desperate. This week in a crazy six man main event, the Militia’s Dash Springfield found two likeminded individuals in “Killdozer” Kevin Alloy and El Gallito to take on the LFC’s Josh Cameron and Nathan Rageous, who will be joined by the snarling Samoan Prince Matautia!
  • This Saturday, it’s the return! ALPHA 31: Burnout! The big test is over, but that doesn’t mean you get to rest! Venettas, intrigue, new talent, and four big matches all for only $9.99! Call 1 800 MOD ERNV or visit www.modernvision.com to order!

Dark Four-Way Threat: Alaska Jack vs. Buddy Saxon vs. Anh Karley Kompost vs. Jake Landell
These four men went crazily about the ring. Jack was the anchor and took a lot of the offense, but whenever he got a shot in he made it count! Saxon and Kompost were used to working as a team and did so effectively in this match until Kompost turned on Saxon with a kick to the back of the head! Eventually, Saxon got put to the mat by an Alaska Jack spinebuster, but Landell kicked Jack out of the way, headed to the top, LANDELLBOW! 3!
Winner: Jake Landell by pinfall (Landellbow on Saxon, 14:44)

ALPHA 30

Prep Course

11.20.10

There were about 375 people in attendance tonight.

Nearly-All-Bournemouth Tag Team Dream Match: Royal Lancers (Jay and Stephen Mathers) vs. Buddy Saxon & Anh Karley Kompost
Unfortunately, I arrived at the tail end of this match which saw Jay get Kompost up to set up the Death or Glory (powerbomb/flying leg lariat) when Steve came off the top. Steve pinned to get the win.
Winners: Royal Lancers by pinfall (Death or Glory, ??:??)

Frozen Fauna: Nathan Rageous vs. Alaska Jack
Rageous charged in as soon as the bell sounded but Jack caught him with a right hand! Jack backed Rageous to the center of the ring before Rageous started throwing back. They both hit the ropes and smashed each other with lariats! Again! Rageous dropped to a knee and Jack staggered a few steps, shaking his head. Jack and Rageous charged at each other, RAGEOUS SPEARED JACK OUT OF HIS BOOTS! Rageous rained punches down on Alaska Jack, finding openings wherever possible, hitting ribs and face liberally. Jack eventually got to the ropes, forcing a break. Rageous waited only as long as he had to before charging back in, shooting Jack into the ropes and following hot on his heels, SHORT-RANGE JUMPING LARIAT TOOK JACK TO THE MAT! Rageous hit the ropes and snapped down an elbow! 2.5! Rageous locked Jack into a chinlock, cutting off his air and keeping him immobilized for the moment. Jack slowly started to get his bearings back, weakened from the hold but energized by desperation. He got to a knee, Rageous locked a bodyscissors on and brought Jack back to the mat with a rear naked choke! Jack struggled, but he wasn’t getting out. Jack faded! Faded! The referee started the arm drop test: One! Two! ThreeNO! Jack shook his fist to show he still had life!

Jack grabbed onto the bottom rope and started to pull himself up, carrying Rageous along with him. The ref tried to get Rageous off Jack’s back, but Rageous wouldn’t release the hold! Jack managed to get on his feet and backed into the corner, slamming Rageous’s spine into the buckles! Jack stumbled out of the corner but Rageous blindsided him with a Polish hammer! Jack had pretty much nothing left in his tank after that choke, giving Rageous time to recover himself. Rageous pulled Jack up to his feet, RAMACHANDRA -- Jack blocked it! Jack landed some sluggish right hands, but Rageous put an end to that with a flurry of his own! He sent Jack into the ropes, caught him and DRILLED HIM WITH CHARYBDIS (spinning sitout spinebuster)! 3!
Winner: Nathan Rageous by pinfall (Charybdis pin, 9:07)

Backstage, Ed Keaton talked to the Royal Lancers. The Lancers were savage in their assessment of the Surf Ninjas. They said they’d got the Ninjas right where they wanted them and this coming Saturday they were going to put them out of their misery once and for all, no matter what it took!

Kevin Alloy and Andrew Crow came down to the ring alone. Prince Matautia was accompanied by Special Envoy Patrick Feu’u, and Jasyn Baine was with Society. Outside the ring, Feu’u kept his distance from Society, obviously creeped out by them.

Virtue and Vice: Kevin Alloy & Andrew Crow vs. Prince Matautia & Jasyn Baine
Alloy started the match for his side and after a little deliberation, Matautia chose to face off against him. They locked up, testing each other’s strength, Matautia having the height and leverage while Alloy had the sheer power. Alloy inadvertently backed Matautia into his corner where Baine blind tagged in and laid in some shots to Alloy’s kidneys. Alloy retaliated with a back elbow that sent Baine to the mat! Matautia got a couple stiff right hands in before the referee ushered him out. Baine used the opportunity to hack Alloy’s leg out from under him with kicks, then tagged back out to Matautia. The frantic drive to keep Alloy pinned in enemy territory drove Matautia and Baine to work relatively fluidly. Finally, Alloy shoved Baine away from him and sluggishly used the ropes to get to his feet. Baine laid rights into Alloy’s cranium, but Alloy was barely feeling them! Baine experienced a split second of terror before Alloy grabbed him, RUNNING URANAGE SLAM! Slapped his hand on Baine’s chest and it’s over! 2.6 -- Matautia broke it up! The referee tried to interfere, but Matautia shoved him away and stomped away at Alloy. Matautia rebounded off the ropes, STALLING BIONIC ELBOW DRIVEN INTO ALLOY’S NECK! Matautia cursed at the referee in Samoan as he dragged Baine to his corner, climbed out onto the apron and tagged himself in.

Now legal, Matautia began bringing the fight to Alloy once again, keeping Alloy on the mat while he dished out punishment. The bulk of Alloy made it difficult for him to move the behemoth around, but Matautia’s strength compensated somewhat. Matautia started ramming his forehead into Alloy’s, making Alloy stagger and fall to a knee. Matautia into the ropes, BIG HEADBUTT BOWLED ALLOY ONTO HIS BACK! 2.5 -- Crow broke it up! Crow was out onto the apron before Matautia could retaliate, so Matautia settled for dragging Alloy to the rope and choking the bigger man out with his foot. He tagged out to Baine who went to the second rope, CRASHED DOWN ON ALLOY WITH A SENTON! 2.8! Baine tagged right back out to Matautia, who cornered Alloy against the buckles and unloaded with several Mongolian chops. Alloy snapped after one, trading solid rights with Matautia and managing to get a few steps out of the corner until Matautia drilled his knee into Alloy’s gut. Tag back out to Baine who shot into the ring, bounced off the ropes, ALLOY CUT HIM IN HALF WITH A BRUTAL-LOOKING FOOTBALL TACKLE! Alloy rested on his back for several seconds, but the urgency of the situation had him up before too long, slowly making it back to his corner. Baine is about to tag as well, but Crow slapped Alloy’s hand first!

Crow charged across the ring and elbowed Matautia off the apron, then hauled Baine up and SMASHED HIM WITH A BIG SPINEBUSTER! 2.8! Crow wasted no time, peeling Baine up and throwing him overhead with a saito suplex! 2.8 -- ropes! Matautia started to climb back onto the apron but Crow took him out with a baseball slide! Crow exchanged heated words with Feu’u, turned around and ate a nasty dropkick courtesy of Baine! Baine shouted for Matautia to get back to his feet as he tried to control Crow with a front facelock, but Crow bull rushed Baine into the corner! Crow unloaded with a flurry of punches and kicks, making Baine cover up under the assault. Crow hooked Baine and DRILLED HIM WITH A FISHERMAN BUSTER! 2.6 -- Feu’u pulled the ref out of the ring! The referee argued feverishly with Feu’u who argued back with similar vigor. On the other side of the ring, Barron Ulysses pulled Alloy off the apron and Javier Sikkan hit Alloy in the neck with his cane! Crow was staring incredulously at the ref and Feu’u when Ulysses got into the ring, spun him around, SWUNG HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR A MASSIVE POWERBOMB -- destroyed him! Once Ulysses got out of the ring, Feu’u turned the ref back in. Baine on the top rope! DIVING SENTON SPLASH! 3!
Winner: Prince Matautia & Jasyn Baine+ by pinfall (diving senton, 15:11)

On the floor, Fay busied herself clipping off a piece of Alloy’s hair! Society made it back up the ramp, Fay joyously showing off the clipping she got to the crowd.

Backstage, Ed Keaton asked Canada’s Finest about their upcoming match against the Creel Boys on A+ II. Eddie Traveller was characteristically arrogant, constantly downplaying the risk his team faced and calling C.F. the greatest team in ALPHA.

Backcountry Brawl: Alexander Shaw vs. Sylvester Creel
Creel launched himself at Shaw with right hands and Shaw was only happy to respond by brawling back in kind. Shaw’s size advantage helped him gain the upper hand against Creel and soon he was working over Creel’s neck with a front facelock. Creel got free by shooting Shaw into the ropes, SPINNING WHEEL KICK -- Shaw ducked under! Shaw bounced off the ropes and CREAMED CREEL WITH A LARIAT! 2! Shaw pulled Creel back to his feet quickly and dumped him on his back with a Northern Lights suplex! 2.5! Shaw was relentless, locking in a buffalo sleeper and doing his best to wring the life out of Creel. Creel didn’t quit and eventually Shaw released the hold, taking a short breather. Creel slowly got to his feet and Shaw came back at him with forearm shots. He whipped Creel into the turnbuckle and followed him in, Creel barely ducked out of the way and JUMPING NECKBREAKER TO SHAW! 2! Creel grabbed the top rope, ARABIAN MOONSAULT -- smashed Shaw’s ribs! 2.5 -- ropes! Creel scaled the ropes, DIVING FROG SPLASH FROM THE TOP -- Shaw rolled out of the ring and Creel ate the mat! Shaw recoverd on the outside until the referee counted six.

Creel had backed into the corner, clutching his ribs following that failed risk. Shaw marched right in, but Creel threw kicks to stall him, then opened up with a European uppercut, fighting through the pain every inch of the way as he tried to keep Shaw off balance. Creel hit the ropes and DECAPITATED SHAW WITH A CLUBBING LARIAT TAKEDOWN! Creel quickly brought Shaw back to his feet, THROWING FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX! Creel floated over into a pin: 2.6! Creel put some distance between himself and Shaw, beckoning Shaw to his feet. Creel charged in, SMASHED SHAW WITH A YAKUZA KICK -- Shaw dodged the kick! Sizzling chop to Creel’s chest followed by a brutal elbow shot to the cranium! SHAW DUMPED CREEL ON HIS HEAD WITH AN EXPLODER! Creel is done for! 2.9! Shaw breathed out his frustration for a second before turning Creel over and locking in a Boston crab! Creel fought it, scratching the mat and yelling in pain. He struggled to pull himself to the ropes and eventually got them. Undeterred, Shaw pulled Creel to his feet and SPIKED HIM WITH A DDT! Deep cover: 2.99!

This time, Shaw argued the count briefly with the ref, giving Creel a short time to recover his senses. Shaw was back on task in a hurry, dragging Creel to the center of the ring again, this time for a spinning toe hold. Creel kicked his way free, but the damage was done to his leg. Shaw pulled Creel to his feet, Creel fired back with a chop! Another! A right hand! He hobbled then forced himself to run the ropes, SHAW CLOBBERED HIM WITH A JUMPING KNEE! Shaw pointed to the sky, “Falcon arrow!” Shaw hooked Creel up, Creel countered into a tight small package! 2.8! Both men were on their feet quickly but Shaw mowed Creel down with an elbow just as fast! Creel was back up and Shaw railroaded him into the turnbuckle. In the heat of the moment, Shaw played to the crowd and then went to the second rope for ten punches. He only got to six before Creel hooked Shaw’s legs and CARRIED HIM OUT OF THE CORNER FOR A RUNNING POWERBOMB -- Shaw blasted Creel between the eyes with the point of his elbow! Creel fell over backwards hard with Shaw’s weight crushing right down on top of him! Shaw was in motion almost immediately, peeling Creel off the mat, hooking him up, HOISTED CREEL HIGH AND SPIKED HIM DOWN WITH THE FALCON ARROW! 3!
Winner: Alexander Shaw by pinfall (falcon arrow, 13:28)

Jonas Creel checked on his brother after the match. Canada’s Finest tore down the ramp! Jonas swung at Eddie Traveller, but Traveller ducked and Jean LaFrench clocked Jonas with the Canadian flag! Traveller on the top, waiting for Sylvester to get up, DIVING SHOULDERBLOCK! Canada’s Finest made their way out, waving the flag and taunting the Creels.

Kevin Alloy stormed around backstage until Ed Keaton caught up to him and asked him what was wrong. Alloy verbally tore down Society, telling the world in no uncertain terms that he was going to beat the piss out of Barron Ulysses at A+ II and enjoy every moment!

The Legend, the Chicken, and the LIONS: LIONS F.C. (John Hurst and Josh Cameron) vs. Dash Springfield & El Gallito
Springfield called out Hurst to start things off, but after a little teasing of acceptance by Hurst, Cameron got into the ring. Cameron was down to business immediately, putting Springfield off balance with his early aggression. Cameron managed to wrestle Springfield down, getting a few one counts despite Springfield’s inspired resistance. Cameron ended up with Springfield in a side arm hold, both men standing. Cameron tried to swing around and bring Springfield to the mat, but Springfield kept running to stay on his feet until he could roll through and use both feet to kick Cameron away. Cameron rolled to his feet and ran straight into a big dropkick from Springfield! Springfield strutted and played to the crowd as Cameron got back to his feet. Cameron looked back at his corner but Hurst shook his head. Cameron and Springfield circled again, locked up, and began trying to outwrestle one another. Cameron got the upper hand for a moment, but Springfield managed to counter into a hammerlock. Cameron faked left, spun around Springfield’s back and HIKED HIM HIGH FOR A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX -- drilled him! Cameron didn’t let go, rolling through for GERMAN SUPLEX NUMBER TWO! Bridge! 2.6!

Cameron kept the pressure on by locking in a camel clutch, wearing down Springfield. Gallito begged for the tag, his torso nearly entirely hanging over the top rope. Springfield crawled to the ropes, laboring for every inch. He was almost there, fingertips just an inch from his goal, when Cameron released the hold and pulled Springfield to his feet. He sent Springfield into the ropes, CREAMED SPRINGFIELD WITH A YAKUZA KICK -- Springfield ducked! Stopped on a dime, dropkick to the chest took Cameron to the mat! Springfield hung onto the ropes for a breather. Cameron was up quick enough and came right in, Springfield swung around and rolled him up! 2.5! Again, Cameron was on his feet like lightning, a shocked expression on his face. Springfield wasn’t there, having lunged for his corner -- tag out to Gallito! Gallito vaulted into the ring, rolled under a lariat by Cameron, PELE KICK SMACKED CAMERON IN THE FACE! Gallito was fired up, playing to the crowd for a bit. Cameron looked over at Hurst again, but again Hurst denied the tag. Cameron rushed at Gallito, clubbing him with a forearm to cancel his premature celebration. He whipped Gallito into the ropes, reversed, Gallito snapped Cameron over with an armdrag! Another armdrag! A Japanese armdrag! Cameron rushed in and Gallito sidestepped him, Cameron bounced off the ropes and RAN SMACK INTO A SPINNING BACK ELBOW FROM GALLITO! 2.7!

Gallito beckoned Cameron to his feet and tagged him with a dropkick to the temple! 2.8! Gallito continued to control the match, using his momentum to its fullest as he tried to put Cameron down with every trick he could think of in quick succession. Cameron caught a kick to the side, peppered Gallito with jabs and then swept him to the mat. Turned Gallito over into a half crab! Gallito stretched for the ropes, trying to pull himself toward them. Cameron twisted and converted the hold into an STF, stressing Gallito’s neck! Gallito suffered, struggled, forcing Cameron to release that submission as well. CAMERON HOOKED GALLITO FOR THE GATOR ROLL CHOKE -- Gallito mule kicked and spun to the side to break the hold! Cameron rose up, flabbergasted. Gallito charged in, tackled Cameron into the turnbuckles, and BRAINED HIM WITH A JUMPING ENZUIGIRI! Gallito out onto the apron, SLINGSHOT GUILLOTINE LEGDROP! 2.99 -- foot on the ropes! Gallito got the crowd clapping, laying in wait for Cameron to get up. Gallito stepped up on Cameron’s knee and DELIVERED A MURDEROUS ENZUIGIRI -- Cameron ducked! Ankle lock, no a half crab, Cameron released that as well, desperately making it to his corner and slapping Hurst on the arm.

Hurst slowly got into the ring, cracking his neck and working out his arms. Gallito rushed in heedlessly and aimed a kick for Hurst’s head, blocked, Hurst returned with a shot to the throat! Hurst with a right to the jaw, BLASTED GALLITO WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST! Gallito stumbled back against the ropes and Hurst followed, GALLITO SNAPPED OFF A SUPERKICK! Rocked, Hurst dropped to a knee. GALLITO WITH SUPERKICK NUMBER TWO -- Hurst caught the foot, turned it into an ankle lock! Now Springfield was desperate for the tag, but Hurst wasn’t making it easy. Gallito eventually pushed his way up until he was standing on one foot and kangaroo kicked his way free! Both Hurst and Gallito tagged out, sending Springfield and Cameron screaming in at each other, SPRINGFIELD WITH A LETHAL DROPKICK! Springfield pulled Cameron up, DASHING DESIGN -- connected! Hurst ran down the apron at Springfield but Springfield vaulted over early leaving Hurst to collide with the turnbuckle post! Springfield crossed the ring, hit the corner, sprinted back and DRILLED CAMERON WITH THE FASHION VICTIM -- Hurst pulled Cameron out of the ring in the nick of time! Hurst gathered the King of Savage title and he and Cameron headed back up the ramp! Springfield taunted Hurst and Cameron from the ring while the referee counted them out.
Winners: Dash Springfield & El Gallito by count-out (17:31)

The Main Event

Title vs. Title!


After defeating Alexander Shaw at A+, King of Savage John Hurst astounded ALPHA by declaring himself king ad infinitum and suspending all further championship bouts. With Shaw on the shelf, depressed after putting everything into his A+ effort and losing, it was up to Dash Springfield to take the reins of the Militia and battle the oppressive LIONS Fight Club. Springfield began a campaign of unofficial defenses of his Just Wrestling Championship, trying to prove he was a better champion than Hurst. Eventually, Springfield got Hurst’s attention and leveraged a King of Savage title match out of him! Was that Springfield’s plan all along or just a happy coincidence? Whichever is the truth, Springfield has a chance to take away what the LIONS cherish most: the King of Savage title. Will Springfield’s ultra-fashionable style and cunning be enough to overcome the mountain that is John Hurst or do the jaws of the LIONS captain await him?

A Special Feature!

Falls Count Anywhere Tag War


This has to end. That was the mentality behind the cricket bat ladder match between the Royal Lancers and the Surf Ninjas at A+. But it didn’t end there. In fact, that match spurred these two teams down the spiral of hate which has led them here. What started as a contracted job, the Lancers taking out the Ninjas, has turned into a blood feud that has made the normally fun-loving, goofy Ninjas as crazy with rage as the British brawlers. At A+, when the match spilled out of the ring there was no way to end it. In just over a week at A+ II, no matter where these four men go, this match will end. No matter how much blood is spilled, no matter how many bones are broken, how many tables are splintered and steel chairs are dented, this match will end. It has to. Anger like this cannot be allowed to continue.

Bet Your Life

If Ulysses Wins, Alloy joins Society. If Alloy wins, Sikkan must shave his hair.


After months of CRRRUUUUUUUSSSHHHing dominance for Barron Ulysses came to an end at A+, Ulysses found himself lost. Confused. Vulnerable. Enter Javier Sikkan, who took Ulysses under his wing in his new group Society, a band of degenerate painfreaks out to prove they are an enlightened version of civilization. Ulysses first released his frustration by slamming the dreadnought-like weight of “Killdozer” Kevin Alloy, but he didn’t stop there, showing how enlightened he was by beating the hell out of Alloy and delivering a ring-shaking Crush Rush. Ulysses is now a badder, more destructive CRRUUUUSSHHHer than ever, and under the tutelage of Sikkan he’s been directing his newfound focus directly at bringing Alloy into the fold by force. Society’s recruitment methods ran Alloy ragged, wreaking havoc on his matches and making him a paranoid gorilla. Alloy had only one recourse: bringing it to the ring. He forced Society’s hand by offering them the one thing they couldn’t refuse: him. Next Saturday, Kevin Alloy fights for his life against Barron Ulysses with Society swarming at ringside. If he wins, Javier Sikkan will shave his hair. A small consolation prize in comparison to getting even with Society.

Gasoline Grudge Match


Some people say a first impression is everything. Prince Matautia and Special Envoy Patrick Feu’u probably say that as well, especially as they introduced themselves in a big way at the Red Mountain Relay by lighting Andrew Crow’s vest on fire! That insult has not been forgotten by the brooding blue collar brawler. So far, Matautia and Feu’u have managed to keep Crow from exacting his revenge, but that all changes next Saturday. Crow and Matautia will step into the ring one on one for the first time and they’ll be after each others’ throat.

Can-Am Crossfire


Getting to the top means stepping on the little people sometimes. Well, it definitely does if you’re Canada’s Finest, as the tape will tell that they took quite a few shortcuts in their successful quest to the $16,000 summit of A≈: Red Mountain Relay. However, the first shortcuts were taken against the Creel Boys, and the Creels don’t take kindly to shorts being cut on them. The Finest have evaded the Creels for weeks, even getting out unscathed by them in a six-man tag, but now C.F. have nowhere to run. They have to face down the Creels. And with the Creels are hungry both for revenge and for advancement, keeping from losing -- staying aloof is pretty much out of the question -- will be quite the task for the Canadians.

ALPHA 29

All-Nighter

11.13.10

There were about 350 people in the arena.

Debut Rematch: Greg Davis vs. Alaska Jack
Davis and Jack circled around each other for a bit. Davis extended a hand. Jack hesitated, then shook it, and a clean break. They tied up, fighting power with power. After a struggle, Jack managed to force Davis back against the ropes. The ref separated them and Jack motioned for Davis to bring it on. Again they locked up, but this time Davis spun into a hammerlock. Technical skill ruled the match from there on and Davis focused his cranking holds on Jack’s neck as much as possible. Jack tried throwing fists to fight his way free, but Davis was able to reassert control several times. Davis hooked Jack for a vertical suplex, blocked and Jack sent a few shots to Davis’s ribs. Both men stepped back, JACK WITH A MIGHTY LARIAT -- Davis ducked! Davis secured the rear waistlock, HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX -- right on the neck! Davis couldn’t keep the heavy Jack up for the bridge, but he scrambled for a cover: 2.5!

Davis was careful to keep the pressure on, swinging into a camel clutch and using his weight to drive the air out of Jack’s lungs. Jack grabbed the rope, but that didn’t stop Davis, who pulled him away, DAVIS CROSSFACE -- Jack scrambled free! Davis brought Jack to his feet and SLUNG HIM OVERHEAD WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! 2.8! Davis used up some time playing to the crowd and getting some breath back. Jack pulled himself up somewhat by the middle rope, Davis rushed in and caught him by suprise, DRILLED JACK’S HEAD WITH A DDT! Davis pushed Jack over, covered and hooked the legs: 2.99! Davis got in the referee’s face briefly, but soon he was calming himself down. He pulled Jack up by the hair, hooked the front facelock, DDT #2 -- Jack muscled Davis into the air and ran across the ring, slamming Davis into the buckles! Jack kicked away at Davis’s stomach, stormed around some to get fired up, MONSTER CORNER LARIAT -- Davis got out of the way! SURPRISE CUTTER -- Jack hung onto the top rope! Davis peeled himself off the canvas, Jack drilled Davis’s stomach with a boot, twisted Davis like a pretzel, SPIKED DAVIS WITH THE ALASKATTACK! It’s over, no doubt about it! 3!
Winner: Alaska Jack by pinfall (AlaskAttack, 9:42)

Jack offered Davis a handshake and Davis accepted!

Samoan Cooking: Prince Matautia vs. El Gallito
Gallito shot in quickly, targeting sharp kicks at Matautia’s legs only for Matautia to simply shove Gallito to bowl him over. Gallito tried that strategy again, and though it was marginally successful, Matautia still overpowered him. Matautia went after Gallito this time, pulling him up by his mask and headbutting him several times! Matautia whipped Gallito into the ropes and met him running back with another sickening headbutt! Now Matautia pulled Gallito up, swung him onto his shoulders and SNAPPED GALLITO DOWN WITH A SAMOAN DROP! 2! Special Envoy Patrick Feu’u was furious at ringside. Matautia took his time in beating Gallito up, making every hit a brutal one. Matautia went after the mask several times but Gallito always managed to cover up just enough to save it. Matautia pulled Gallito off the mat once again by the mask, Gallito took Matautia off his feet with a leg sweep, rose smoothly, STANDING MOONSAULT -- crushed Matautia’s ribs! 2!

Gallito retreated into a corner, keeping down on a knee to conserve his energy. Feu’u shouted encouragement at his charge. Matautia was soon on his feet and charging to smash Gallito. Gallito caught Matautia with a dropkick to the knee at the last second, sending Matautia facefirst into the top turnbuckle! Gallito sprang to his feet and jumped on Matautia’s back, DRAGGING HIM BACK INTO A VICIOUS LUNGBLOWER! 2.5! Gallito continued to seek high impact moves, but the damage done by Matautia earlier hampered his mobility. After a suplex, Gallito waited for Matautia to start getting up, hit the ropes, SNAP SWINGING HURACANRANA -- Matautia threw Gallito away! Matautia got to his feet and leaned against the ropes, but once he saw Gallito getting up he charged across the ring and BLASTED HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE TEMPLE! 2.8! Matautia blatantly choked Gallito until the ref counted four and a half, then he argued with the referee so that Feu’u could use Matautia’s cane to choke Gallito! Matautia pulled Gallito back between the ropes and covered: 2.99 -- boot on the ropes!

Matautia was on his feet first, roaring in Samoan at the crowd before returning to the rising Gallito, pulling him up by the hanging tassels at the back of the mask. Gallito surprised Matautia with a flying leg scissors, then he scrambled to the top, pointed briefly at the sky, PERFECT MOONSAULT -- Matautia rolled out of the ring, but Gallito landed on his feet! Gallito rushed the ropes for a suicide dive and Matautia scattered, tiger feint brought Gallito back inside in style! Matautia got back into the ring and weathered a few jabbing kicks so he could club Gallito with his forearm! He sent Gallito into the ropes, MATAUTIA DECAPITATED GALLITO -- Gallito ducked! Gallito jumped to the second rope, LIONSAULT PRESS -- Matautia caught him, DRILLED HIM WITH A SPINNING SLAM! 2.9! Matautia used Gallito’s mask again to bring him to his feet, hooked and HOISTED GALLITO HIGH IN THE AIR FOR A POWERBOMB -- Gallito rolled through and countered into a sunset flip! The momentum sent Matautia rolling free and he came up with his back into the buckles, rebounding and STOMPING GALLITO’S HEAD INTO THE MAT! Matautia clutched his chest for a moment before returning to Gallito. Matautia smashed his forehead into Gallito’s, then whipped him corner-to-corner. Gallito somersaulted a split second before contact, his back smacking against the turnbuckle pads and the momentum carrying him onto the apron! Matautia gave chase, Gallito springboarded and DROVE THE POINT OF HIS ELBOW INTO MATAUTIA’S FACE! Gallito slapped the mat, climbed the buckles, CRACK OF DAWN! That’s gotta be it! Wait a second, Feu’u looked like he was getting involved but Andrew Crow appeared in the entranceway! Feu’u was spooked! 3!
Winner: El Gallito by pinfall (Crack of Dawn pin, 13:31)

Crow made his way to ringside slowly, allowing Gallito time to evacuate. Feu’u tried to revive Matautia, and Matautia started to get up just as Crow jumped on the apron! Feu’u pushed Matautia under the bottom rope to safety, but Crow grabbed Feu’u by the scruff of his neck and pulled him to his feet! Feu’u begged and pleaded for his life while Crow contemplated just want to do with him. Crow got a microphone and laid out a challenge for Matautia for a match at A+ II! Feu’u dissembled pathetically and Crow tried to intimidate him. Out of nowhere, Matautia clubbed Crow over the head with the royal cane! Feu’u immediately begins berating Crow, adjusting his suit. Feu’u and Matautia put the boots to Crow, but Matautia was still weary from his match and he exited before he did too much damage.

Daniel Stann left the announce table and got into the ring. He said that as co-owner of ALPHA he needed to act in the best interests of the company, and that’s why he was bringing these men to the ring. Down came the Royal Lancers, followed shortly by the Surf Ninjas. They all agreed that a falls count anywhere match was the only way to settle the bad blood between the Lancers and the Ninjas. Jay Mathers raved, foretelling the widescale destruction that could be caused by this feud if it continued. Chandra Taylor appeared, responding that this one match could wreck the whole casino. Byron Maloka offered to put up every cent in his Danger Kid Fund for insurance, close to $10,000. Taylor said she would need ten times that and Stann said that ALPHA would cover it. Taylor reconsidered then, saying she would do it as a favor for Stann, but reminded him she called in her favors. She then said that a match such as this would need two referees, and instated Red Mountain Casino head of security Orel Wright as one of them! All were about to accept when Taylor added another stipulation: no contact between the Ninjas and the Lancers for 60 days after the match!

Meet and Greet: Society (Barron Ulysses and Jasyn Baine) vs. Buddy Saxon & Anh Karley Kompost
Ulysses and Saxon started the match off. Saxon tried to get a German suplex, but Ulysses easily resisted and headlock tossed Saxon onto his back. Undaunted, Saxon tried more offense, but nothing phased Ulysses. Saxon went for the German again, Ulysses swung but Saxon rushed the ropes, ULYSSES CLOBBERED SAXON WITH A LARIAT! Ulysses got to his feet and kicked at Saxon’s head, smugly suggesting he tag out. Saxon took the opportunity to do so and Kompost entered the ring. Ulysses leered at Kompost with a creepy smile spreading across his face. KOMPOST BLASTED ULYSSES WITH A KICK TO THE JAW! Another! Drummed Ulysses’s ribs with repeated kicks, Ulysses caught one, grabbed Kompost by the throat and DROVE HER DOWN INTO THE CANVAS! Ulysses dragged her into Society’s corner and tagged out to Baine, who laid in a couple precise stomps and then went for a chinlock. He repeatedly tried to fishhook Kompost, but the referee always caught him before he did too much damage. Baine brought Kompost to her feet, Kompost grabbed a Muay Thai clinch, KNEES -- Baine caught it! Baine stamped on Kompost’s toes and CLUBBED HER WITH A SHORT POLISH HAMMER! Baine tagged out to Ulysses, who squatted on Kompost’s back and locked in a torturous camel clutch.

Ulysses tired of the camel clutch before long and pulled Kompost to her feet, sending her into the corner. Javier Sikkan egged Ulysses on from outside. Ulysses stormed across the ring, came CHARGING BACK IN WITH AN AVALANCHE -- Kompost darted out of the way just in time! SUPERKICK ALMOST TOOK ULYSSES’S HEAD OFF! KOMPOST DRILLED HIM WITH ANOTHER! Kompost dropped to her knees, shaking her head clear as she climbed back to her feet, SUPERKICK NUMERO TRES! Kompost took to a knee and the ref checked on her while Sikkan and Fay struggled with all their might to pull Ulysses through the ropes and to the floor -- success! Baine clapped to fake a tag and got into the ring, rushing Kompost and hammering her with a sliding lariat! 2.7! Baine directed the ref to Saxon so he could work a double fishhook on Kompost. The ref turned and caught him before long and made Baine break just before five. Baine pushed Kompost into the buckles and used his body to block the ref’s vision while he threw stabbing punches into Kompost’s kidneys! Finally the referee pulled him out of there and scolded him while Baine proclaimed innocence. Kompost recovered and Baine went after, spinning sole butt to the stomach! BAINE ATE A HUGE KNEE! Kompost collapsed in exhaustion! She dragged herself across the ring to Saxon who was hot for the tag. Baine recovered slightly and managed to grab hold of her leg, anchoring her. She stretched, Saxon stretched -- fingertips! The referee said no! Kompost smashed her fist into Baine’s head until Baine let go! Tag out to Saxon!

Saxon vaulted over the top rope and rushed across the ring to deliver a beautiful dropkick straight to Ulysses’s face, knocking him off the apron! Saxon let out some of that pent up frustration with a yell before going to work on Baine, dispensing with his technical side to try and put this match away while they had an opening. Baine managed to kick out of everything Saxon was offering, each time by a slimmer margin. Saxon pulled Baine to his feet and signaled to the crowd, SAXON SLAM -- Baine hooked his leg around the top rope! Baine dropped to the outside and Saxon turned around, BAINE SNAPPED SAXON’S THROAT ON THE TOP ROPE! Baine scrambled into the ring and quick-crawled to his corner where he tagged big Barron into the ring! Ulysses grabbed Saxon by his hair and pulled him to his feet only to SLAM SAXON FACEFIRST INTO THE MAT! Ulysses went for the camel clutch, but Kompost only hesitated a short time before breaking it up by kicking Ulysses in the back! Ulysses pulled Saxon to his feet, “CRRRRUUUUUUUUUSSSSHHH!”, CRUSH RUSH! Sikkan pulled Kompost off the apron and Fay slapped her! 3!
Winners: Society (Barron Ulysses+ and Jasyn Baine) by pinfall (Crush Rush pin, 12:43)

Sikkan clubbed Kompost from behind, then helped Fay into the ring and followed himself. He went on a tirade, saying that this kind of success is what all the fans could accomplish if they let go of their inhibitions. He praised Ulysses and Baine and said very shortly they would be the main attraction in ALPHA. Sikkan began to talk about their need for Kevin Alloy, but he was shortly interrupted by the man himself! Alloy came down to the ring and laid forth a challenge: Alloy vs. Ulysses at A+ II. If Ulysses won, Alloy would join Society and do Sikkan’s bidding. If Alloy won, Sikkan would have to shave his hair! Sikkan accepted on Ulysses’s behalf!

Overcoming the Curse: Alexander Shaw vs. Josh Cameron
Shaw and Cameron waited for the bell, but as soon as it sounded they dashed to the center of the ring and began unloading right hands on each other. Shaw started to slam home elbows and this staggered Cameron, driving him back to the ropes where he slipped through and headed to the floor. Shaw gave chase, whipping Cameron into the railing. The two brawled until eight when Cameron rolled into the ring. Shaw followed quickly, CAMERON GOT THE GATOR LOCK -- Shaw sprawled, keeping low so Cameron couldn’t roll him over. Cameron pulled Shaw back slowly as he himself got up, twisted his hips and judo-tossed Shaw to the mat in a pin: 2! Cameron didn’t let Shaw up, crushing Shaw’s neck with a headscissors until Shaw got the ropes. Cameron continued his search for neck cranks and compressors, forcing Shaw to start wrestling to counter. Fortunately Shaw was very adept at wrestling and he brought the match back to an even keel, working Cameron’s neck in turn. Cameron with a sharp snap suplex, float-over to a pin: 2.5! Cameron pulled Shaw up, suplex, Shaw blocked and delivered one of his own! 2.5! Shaw brought Cameron to his feet, Cameron reversed, snap suplex! 2.6! Cameron drilled Shaw’s forehead with punches before bringing him to his feet, SHAW ROCKED CAMERON WITH AN ELBOW! ANOTHER! AGAIN -- Cameron blocked with his forearms! Both men separated, gathering themselves and scouting their opponent.

After some circling, Shaw offered a knucklelock and Cameron tentatively accepted before swiftly sweeping Shaw to the mat! Shaw rolled to his feet and launched elbow after elbow, backing Cameron across the ring! SWINGING NECKBREAKER SNAPPED CAMERON TO THE MAT! 2.5! Shaw tried to get back to trading holds, but Cameron escaped quickly. Shaw recklessly went after Cameron, giving Cameron another opportunity to execute a judo sweep. This time Cameron followed him down and drove his knees repeatedly into Shaw’s neck before locking in a ground chinlock. Whenever Shaw looked to be getting some momentum, Cameron would change his hold and leverage, forcing Shaw back down. Finally Shaw got his toe on the bottom rope. Cameron swiftly yanked Shaw off the mat, swung around him, SPIKED SHAW WITH A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX! Shaw’s done! 2.8! Cameron didn’t give up the rear waistlock, pulling Shaw back to his feet, Shaw blocked the suplex attempt! He shifted his weight and threw Cameron off of him. Cameron rushed in, SHAW CAUGHT HIM WITH A JUMPING KNEE! Shaw crawled to the ropes and pulled himself to his feet, gesturing for Cameron to get up, DIVING BIONIC ELBOW!

Shaw brought Cameron to his feet, hooked him up, LIFTED HIM FOR THE FALCON ARROW -- Cameron twisted and dropped behind Shaw! Railroaded Shaw’s face into the turnbuckle! Cameron hit the ropes, SHARP CLOTHESLINE SNAPPED SHAW TO THE CANVAS! Cameron dragged Shaw away from the ropes and locked in a half crab. Shaw shook his head when the ref asked him if he quit. Cameron reached back for a facelock, Shaw fought, Cameron grabbed it and turned into an STF! Shaw painstakingly dragged himself across the mat and grabbed the bottom rope. Cameron clawed his own face in frustration before pulling Shaw up by the hair. Cameron laid in right hands, then softened up Shaw’s ribs with some kicks. Shaw dropped to a knee, Cameron wrapped his neck in a facelock, Shaw surged up and carried Cameron forward, both men toppled through the ropes! Shaw fell to the floor and Cameron went down soon after, but they staggered to their feet quickly and started unloading on each other! Cameron threw Shaw’s back into the barricade at five! Cameron followed up, TOOK SHAW’S HEAD OFF WITH A YAKUZA KICK -- Shaw got out of the way! Cameron hung up on the barricade! SHAW ROCKED HIM WITH A FALLING NECKBREAKER! The ref counted seven! Both Shaw and Cameron were trying to get to their feet! Eight! Nine! Shaw balanced on the corner of the ring, ROARING ELBOW -- Cameron ducked! Ten! Cameron tackled Shaw into the barricade!
Double count-out (15:06)

Cameron continued his assault on Shaw with rights and lefts. Dash Springfield’s music hit and he charged down to the ring, Just Wrestling Championship in tow! Springfield dropped the belt and turned Cameron around, chop! Chop! Spinning chop! “You know it!” Dropkick sent Cameron over the barricade and into the fans! “The Local Legend is in the house!” Springfield helped Shaw up, then collected his JWC and got into the ring. He called out Eddie Traveller, who arrived shortly with his tag partner Jean LaFrench in tow.

New Winter Fashions: Dash Springfield vs. Eddie Traveller
Springfield and Traveller circled around for a bit. Then they circled some more. Springfield offered a knucklelock and Traveller seemed skeptical. He went to accept, but Springfield pulled his hand away and played to the crowd, slicking up his spikes and talking himself up. They circled again for a while, teasing the lock-up, then they went for it. Traveller ducked under, grabbing the rear waistlock, swinging around and running to the turnbuckle, scaling to the second so he could yell “Canada’s Finest forever!” LaFrench waved the Canadian flag on the outside. Traveller and Springfield resumed their mutual stalling, offering but reneging on knucklelocks, quick tests of strength broken up by the ropes, and a lot of pompous taunting. After one of Traveller’s fake knucklelocks, Springfield slapped Traveller across the face! Traveller responded with fierce right hands, rocking Springfield back step by step! Whipped Springfield into the corner! Traveller followed in, SPRINGFIELD DRILLED HIS CHEST WITH A DROPKICK! Springfield checked his jaw, slicked up his hair, and got to his feet.

Traveller didn’t stay down long. The two traded holds now, trying to keep the advantage on their opponent. Springfield managed to work in a side armbar, wrenching it in deep. Traveller struggled but couldn’t get out, clearly in pain but not yet giving it up. Springfield gradually tried to shift into a seated armbar, Traveller twisted into a schoolboy rollup: 2! Springfield tried to pick the pace up but Traveller managed to keep his energy in check with weardown holds, keeping Springfield still and preventing any of his offense. Along with this, Traveller paid close attention to the referee’s position so he could thumb Springfield in the eye or rake his face when possible. Traveller ground Springfield down with a side headlock, then slowly pulled himself up, KNEE DROPPED RIGHT ON THE BACK OF SPRINGFIELD’S SKULL! 2.6! Impulsively, Traveller pulled Springfield to his feet, RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP FLATTENED SPRINGFIELD! 2.8! LaFrench pounded the mat to encourage his partner.

Traveller went back to his strategy of wearing Springfield down with holds. After what he had already endured Springfield wasn’t putting up as much fight as before. Traveller drove his knee into Springfield’s spine, locking in the seated surfboard. Springfield shook his head, refusing to give up. Traveller crossed Springfield’s arms, transitioning into a straightjacket surfboard! Springfield still didn’t give. Traveller gave up on the hold, getting to his feet and stomping Springfield in the back of the neck. Traveller taunted Springfield relentlessly, motioning that he should be wearing the JWC. He brought Springfield back up his feet and hooked the arms for a double underhook suplex, Springfield countered with a back body drop! Springfield dropped to his knees from the effort, but he picked himself up and headed to the nearest ropes, SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW CROSSBODY SMASHED TRAVELLER TO THE MAT! 2.5! Springfield grabbed his ribs, but he still recovered before Traveller, pulling Traveller up and SLINGING HIM TO THE MAT WITH A HALF-HATCH SUPLEX! 2.7! Springfield got Traveller up, HALF-HATCH THE SEQUEL! 2.7! Springfield pushed Traveller onto his stomach, LOCKED IN THE SEATED ARMBAR! Traveller screamed! His hand wavered above the mat! LaFrench pulled Traveller’s boot onto the bottom rope and called the ref over! The ref called Springfield off and Springfield held until three before releasing, frustrated he couldn’t put Traveller away.

Meanwhile, Traveller escaped to the outside where LaFrench consoled him. The ref started the count and Springfield jeered at Traveller from the ring, but Traveller took his time getting back in. At nine, Traveller finally rolled under the ropes, but he slipped back out when Springfield gave chase! Springfield didn’t follow Traveller to the floor. LaFrench jumped up onto the apron, Springfield turned, Traveller hooked Springfield’s feet and pulled him out of the ring! SLAMMED SPRINGFIELD’S HEAD INTO THE POST! Traveller shoved Springfield back into the ring and covered: 2.9! Traveller went to the top rope! He laid in wait for Springfield to get up, which he slowly did. DIVING SHOULDERBLOCK -- Springfield got out of the way! Springfield took advantage, SEATED ARMBAR! Traveller tapped!
Winner: Dash Springfield by submission (seated armbar, 16:31)

King of Savage John Hurst, Nathan Rageous, and Rodrigo De La Zed emerged in the aisle! Hurst only had one thing to say: “Next week, you’re mine!”

Alloy brought Landell up to his feet and sent him into the corner. “Sikkan!” MIGHTY CORNER SPLASH TO LANDELL! “Baine!” CORNER SPLASH! “ULYSSES!” RING-SHAKING CORNER SPLASH!

Makeshift Tag Melee: Buddy Saxon & Anh Karley Kompost vs. Alaska Jack & El Gallito
Kompost insisted on starting the match as she did when Saxon & Kompost defeated the Creel Boys. Gallito started for his side. Kompost led early with sweeping kicks that Gallito nimbly dodged. Gallito went on the attack, slinging Kompost over with arm drags and dragon screws, keeping her unbalanced and in his control. After one arm drag Kompost rolled to her feet first, DRILLED GALLITO IN THE MOUTH WITH A THRUST KICK! Kompost dragged Gallito to her corner and tagged in Saxon. Saxon immediately worked over Gallito’s arm, keeping the ball in his court. Gallito tried to flip his way free several times only for Saxon’s leverage to get the better of things. Finally, a series of flips ended in Gallito breaking free, CAPOEIRA KICK TO SAXON’S FOREHEAD! Gallito made the tag out to Alaska Jack!

With Jack, Saxon had an entirely different sort of challenge. Jack’s hands were like hammers and the Alaskan swung relentlessly and recklessly, beating up on Saxon. Jack sent Saxon into the ropes, JACK FLOORED SAXON WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM! 2.5! Jack peeled Saxon off the mat, Saxon with rights and lefts to the ribs! Scoop slam took the wind out of Saxon, Jack rebounded off the ropes and dropped an elbow! 2.6! Jack pulled Saxon to his feet, knee to the gut, ALASKATTACK -- Saxon slipped out the back! SIDE EFFECT! Saxon crawled over and tagged out to Kompost! Kompost set Jack in a sitting position and teed off with kicks! Jack would try to get up, but a lethal kick to the chest always sat him back down!

Gallito blind tagged in, springboard leapfrog over a charging Kompost, KOPPOU KICK ROCKED SAXON AND SENT HIM TO THE FLOOR! Kompost ran in, Gallito swept her legs out from underneath. He jumped to the top, CRACK OF DAWN -- Kompost had her knees up! Rolled him up: 2.8 -- Jack broke it up!

Saxon got on the apron and Kompost used him to her advantage, the duo tagging in and out to double-team Gallito. Saxon started to crank down on the arm submissions, looking to make Gallito tap now with each one. Gallito wordlessly refused each time. The next time Kompost came in she set up for a big buzzsaw kick, Gallito rolled underneath! Tag out to Jack who roared in like a locomotive! He smashed a big right hand into Kompost’s face! She responded with a vicious kick to the side! They pummeled each other that way until each staggered back against the ropes, then ran together for a final volley! Saxon tagged in! Gallito did the same! GALLITO’S SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY SMACKED SAXON INTO THE MAT! Gallito pulled Saxon parallel to the ropes, vaulted to the top, CRACK OF DAWN! 3!
Winners: Alaska Jack & El Gallito+ by pinfall (Crack of Dawn pin on Saxon, 15:03)

Backstage, Ed Keaton interviewed King of Savage John Hurst and his protege Josh Cameron. Hurst said that the only reason he was now trying to get Springfield’s Just Wrestling Championship was to make sure the only spotlight in ALPHA rested on Hurst himself, just as it should be. He said Cameron was going to further beat Springfield and ready him for A+ II. Cameron said last week Springfield got lucky but this week he’d make sure to choke Springfield out.

Stephen Mathers got to the ring first, accompanied by his brother Jay. The Surf Ninjas charged to the ring, Maloka clearing Jay out with a suicidal wheel kick and Jackson taking the fight right to Stephen!

Seaside Slugfest: Brian Jackson vs. Stephen Mathers
Jackson and Mathers threw everything they had at each other right off, sheer fury powering their brawling fists. Jackson stunned Mathers with rights to the jaw, whipped him into the ropes, forearm sent Mathers to the mat. Jackson just fought Mathers, battering him with strikes from any angle he found Mathers in. Mathers tried to escape the ring, but Jackson caught him and brought him back in, DDT! 2.5! Jackson dragged Mathers back to his feet and snapped him back down to the mat with a suplex! 2.6! Jackson hurled down punches! Jackson pulled Mathers to his feet, boot to the gut, THA WRECKA -- Mathers countered with a back body drop!

Mathers kept to the ropes until Jackson got back to his feet, when he started to fend Jackson off with weary kicks. Jackson charged in, MATHERS RIPPED JACKSON DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER! 2! Mathers slowed the pace down considerably, focusing his attack on Jackson’s back. Jackson refused to give in to any submission, frustrating Mathers to no end.

Mathers shifted gears, BRITISH RACK -- Jackson kicked free! Mathers came back in, Jackson pulled Mathers’s face into the second buckle! GERMAN SUPLEX PLANETED MATHERS ON HIS BACK! 2.6!

He looked for a suplex, Jackson blocked and tripped Mathers up, rebounded off the near ropes and smashed Mathers with an elbow. 2.8! Jackson pulled Mathhers to his feet and went to town with rights.

Winner: Stephen Mathers by pinfall (Dambuster, 13:48)

As the match was ending, Maloka ripped into Jay with a Bruce Lee Kick! Maloka slid under the bottom rope just as the bell ring, putting the boots to Steve! He sent Steve through the ropes and to the floor! Jackson recovered while Maloka raved at the Lancers, telling them that they WOULD meet the Lancers at A+ II in a falls count anywhere match! The Lancers were about to re-enter the ring when RMC spokeswoman Chandra Taylor arrived. She informed both teams that there would NOT be a falls count anywhere match at A+ II on the orders of the Casino!

Singles Showdown: Prince Matautia vs. Maurice Thompson
Thompson tried peppering Matautia early on with quick offense, but Matautia’s clubbing forearms took the fight out of Thompson early on. Matautia was relentless on the attack, but half the time he couldn’t catch Thompson with his strikes. When he did, Thompson surely felt them and Matautia had an opening for more punishment. Matautia grabed Thompson’s hair, HEADBUTT! HEADBUTT! Thompson reeled, Matautia sent him into the corner and crashed in after him with a bionic elbow! 2.5! Matautia re-covered, grinding his forearm into Thompson’s face: 2.5! Matautia pulled Thompson to his feet, Thompson with a small package: 2! Matautia raged to his feet and knocked Thompson back to the mat with a bionic elbow! Feu’u shouted in from the apron as Matautia continued his onslaught on Thompson.

Matautia pulled Thompson up, FA’A SAMOA -- Thompson spun free, SITOUT MAT SLAM! Thompson flopped on his face, trying to get his bearings back. Matautia got up first, shaking his head clear then going for Thompson. Thompson with a schoolboy, jumped through for a BIG LEG DROP -- right across Matautia’s throat! 2! Thompsn got to the second rope, waited for Matautia to get up, UNCORKED A MISSILE DROPKICK -- smashed into Matautia’s chest! 2.5! Thompson took every second to rest he could get, and when Matautia was up, he took the fight right to the big man. Thompson seemed to use everything in his arsenal to keep Matautia reeling and it worked. Matautia missed a lariat, Thompson hit the ropes, JUMPING TOMAHAWK CHOP TOOK MATAUTIA OFF HIS FEET! 2.8! Thompson slapped the mat with frustration but didn’t take his eyes off the prize for too long.

Urgency was on Thompson’s mind and he started seeking ways to end the match. A wheel kick led straight into THE FUTURE IS NOW -- Matautia’s not going easily! Elbows to the side of the head broke Matautia free, MASSIVE LARIAT WIPED THOMPSON OUT! 2.7! Matautia slowly brought Thompson to his feet, hit the ropes, DECAPITATING YAKUZA KICK -- Thompson spun out of the way! JOURNEY TO THE VALLEY -- smashed Matautia! 2.9 -- Special Envoy Patrick Feu’u put Matautia’s foot on the ropes! Thompson glared at Feu’u, but he brought Matautia back to his feet. He wore Matautia down some more, especially using his expertly applied full nelson, but Matautia wasn’t giving up. Thompson kneed Matautia in the ribs, THE FUTURE IS NOW -- Matautia still wasn’t going! Thompson stumbled into the corner while Matautia took a breather. On adrenaline, Matautia came in quickly, Thompson pushed himself to the second rope and SMACKED HIM WITH ANOTHER MISSILE DROPKICK! The cover, but Feu’u distracted the ref!

Fashionable Fish Fry: Dash Springfield & Creel Boys (Sylvester and Jonas Creel) vs. Josh Cameron & Canada’s Finest (Eddie Traveller and Jean LaFrench)
Canada’s Finest absolutely refused to start the match, which meant it was Josh Cameron against Jonas Creel. They started the match off warily, but Cameron quickly proved he had the upper hand when it came to technical acumen. Creel tried to get off some of his explosive offense, but every time Cameron would bring him to the mat hard, working over Jonas’s neck. Sylvester and Springfield held their hands out for the tag, but Cameron wasn’t allowing Jonas to make it. Cameron tried to tag out to Canada’s Finest, but they insisted they weren’t going to fight. Jonas managed to roll out of a hold by Cameron, dropkick took Cameron to the mat! Jonas scrambled to his corner and tagged in Springfield. Now Canada’s Finest asked for the tag and Cameron gave it up to Eddie Traveller. Traveller and Springfield exchanged holds, and though Traveller kept up, Springfield had the edge. Springfield unloaded with chops that sent Traveller into his corner, tagging out quickly to LaFrench.

LaFrench and Springfield circled, tied-up, and Springfield grabbed a rear waistlock but LaFrench prevented him from doing much with it. SNAP RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP GOT LAFRENCH TO THE MAT! 2! Springfield pulled LaFrench back to his feet and quickly snapped him over with a half-hatch suplex! 2! Springfield pulled LaFrench over and tagged in Sylvester Creel! LaFrench frantically kicked free of Springfield and scrambled across the ring, tagging Cameron in and rolling out to the floor! Cameron charged in, taking Sylvester off his feet early and bouncing him off the mat several times. He snatched a headlock and wrenched in, Sylvester rolled out to Cameron’s back, BACK SUPLEX -- got him! Sylvester tagged out to Jonas and the Creel Boys’ machine got into gear, the brothers setting each others’ attacks up and utilizing their time together in the ring as effectively as possible. They brought in Springfield a few times, but he would only do a little armwork before keeping the cycle going. Many times, the Creels rushed at Canada’s Finest to get a shot in, but the Canadians were always a step ahead, avoiding any form of contact.

Cameron rocked Sylvester with right hands, Sylvester got the drop toe hold, tag out to Springfield, RUNNING SENTON TO CAMERON’S BACK! 2.7! Springfield played to the crowd a bit before bringing Cameron to his feet, Cameron with a right to the ribs! Another! Cameron railroaded Springfield into the Canadian corner and tagged in Eddie Traveller. Now it was Canada’s Finest’s time to shine. They worked a bit slower than the Creels but no less fluidly, keeping the pressure high on Dash Springfield. TANDEM SUPLEX! LaFrench with the cover: 2.8 -- Jonas broke it up with a boot to the head! Traveller and LaFrench sicced the referee on Jonas, giving them the opportunity to get Springfield into their corner and use the ropes to choke him out. Cameron got in on the action as well. Springfield looked for the tag, but C.F. were having none of it. LaFrench hooked Springfield up, SLINGSHOT SUPLEX -- Springfield pulled himself to the apron! STUN GUN ON THE TOP ROPE! Springfield shot into the ring, TAG OUT TO SYLVESTER CREEL! LaFrench tagged Cameron! Sylvester and Cameron rushed the ring, Cameron whiffed a lariat, they hit the ropes and came back at each other, BIG WHEEL KICK TOOK CAMERON OFF HIS FEET! ANOTHER! Boot to the stomach, X-FACTOR! Sylvester turned Cameron over for the cover, but instead went to hit LaFrench and Traveller, who escaped to the floor! Sylvester tagged out to Jonas who climbed to the top, Sylvester lifted Cameron on his shoulders, DEEP FRIED HOMICIDE (doomsday busaiku knee kick)! 3! Canada’s Finest bailed to the back!
