Pre Show Match: Kurt Franco def. Diamond Dallas Minimum Wage with the Stopgap.



Singles Match
Zeke vs. Matt
A heated rivalry opens up the Large Show watched by a large audience. The two locked up to start the match but Matt knee’d Zeke in the gut and threw him out of the ring. The crowd dished out some heat but Zeke springboarded back into the ring with a Louz Thez press and punches before a hart knee to the centre as Matt flipped over. Zeke attempted a dropkick but Matt moved and planted Zeke with a powerslam and a standing leg drop. Matt pushed his knee into Zeke back and pulled the Englishman’s arms back. The hold clearly distressed Zeke but eventually he found a way out of the hold as he proceeded to repeatedly kick Matt in the head until Matt bounced back into the ropes and Zeke delivered a Monkey flip. Zeke hit a clothesline and then a flip backbreaker for just a two count. Zeke jumped for the Tranceout but Matt pushed him away and out of the ring. Matt seized this opportunity to undo the turnbuckle cover and throw it into the crowd so the referee couldn’t get it. Matt walked over to Zeke and yanked him back into the ring with his hair. Matt drilled Zeke with a big boot and then a Powerbomb but for only a two count. Matt tried to lock in the Crossface but Zeke managed out of it. Zeke tripped Matt up and ascended the top rope. He attempted a crossbody but once again Matt countered, catching Zeke and executing a fall away slam. Matt hoisted Zeke up and tried to drop him on the exposed turnbuckle but Zeke slid off and hit a huge dropkick and then a spinning neckbreaker. Zeke ascended the top rope and leaped off for a crossbody for yet another two count. Zeke lifted Matt for the Zeke Driver but Matt nailed a low blow out of the referee’s vision and pounded Zeke’s head on the exposed turnbuckle. Zeke began to bleed and just as he saw Red he was dropped down into a roll-up for a cheap victory from Matt.

Winner: Matt.

Matt quickly ran away after winning this encounter, which was only the start of lots of drama tonight.

Opportunity Knocks Competitors Showcase Battle Royal.
Abdullah Faraj vs. Ryan Trance vs. Travis Cantrell vs. Nick Danylson vs. Lee Kineval vs. Mike Kennedy.
A great chance for the ‘rookies’ to show off here in front of a big crowd at a big event. No one was eliminated in the first couple of minutes as Danylson fought Kineval, Cantrell battled Trance and Faraj tackled Kennedy. The first elimination saw Kennedy take down Faraj with a forearm and then Cantrell before dropping Trance with a DDT. Kennedy tried to take on Kineval but Lee countered and back dropped Kennedy out of the match. The next elimination followed soon after as Danylson hit Faraj with the TFI but Kineval hoisted Danylson up and dropped him with the sick InFamous. Kineval then bundled the first place rookie out. Travis Cantrell attempted his springboard 450 Splash but Trance pushed down on the ropes and Cantrell got caught up in the middle rope. Kineval and Faraj fought dangerously near the ropes. Kineval pushed Faraj’s over the ropes but Abdullah held on. Trance quickly ran up behind Kineval and nailed a spinning wheel kick before sending Lee over and out. Abdullah laughed at Kineval but ultimately suffered the same fate as Trance connected with a sharp kick to the back of Faraj’s head. Trance looked in controlled and on the verge of a win as Travis Cantrell untangled himself from the ropes. Trance ran over but Travis ducked and nailed a shoulder to the sternum of Ryan. Travis hit a springboard clothesline and tried for a Hurricanrana but Ryan caught him. Trance tried to Powerbomb Cantrell out but Travis countered into a Hurricanrana and Ryan’s feet hit the floor.

Winner: Travis Cantrell.

KWC Tag Team Championships
Steel Justice © vs. The eXecution Brothers.
The first championship match of the night featured tag team action. X Matt and Joe Steel started off the match. Steel overpowered Matt and pushed him back into Jack who tagged in. Steel went for a clothesline but Jack ducked before kicking Steel hard in the leg and then the other leg but the third kick was caught and Steel spun Jack around and kick him in the gut before drilling him with a hard gutbuster and a suplex. Joe tagged David Justice in who went to work on Jack’s left leg with a stomp and another before locking in a painful singles Leg Boston crab. Jack screamed in pain but eventually Jack was able to reach the ropes. David tried to assault Jack but the referee told Justice to back off as Jack fell to the floor. David came to the outside but his challenger was opportunistic and yanked Justice, throwing him into the guardrail before planting Justice with a Hurricanrana. Jack pushed Justice back into the ring for a two count. X Matt was tagged back in as Jack held Justice in a slingshot and Matt hit a springboard leg drop. Matt used frequent covers throughout but couldn’t pick up the three. Matt hit a Senton as the X’s brother’s continued to dominated until X Matt closed in for the win and Justice got his knee’s up in a Phoenix Splash. Justice began to get back momentum as he hit two clotheslines and a hard powerslam followed by an Elbow Drop. Justice set up for the Justice Striker but Matt dodged the knee and took down Dave with an armdrag. Matt bounced off the ropes but Joe tripped him from the apron and tagged himself in as Justice cheaply knocked Jack off the apron as Steel hit the Fistful or Steel as Justice turned round to execute ‘and Justice for All’ to retain the titles.

Winners and STILL KWC Tag Team Champions: David Justice and Joseph Steel; Steel Justice.

The champions quickly left the area as the once again retain their gold. X Jack aided his brothers as the too were angered at their failed attempted at winning the championships due to an illegal kick from Steel.

Triple Threat Match
Ricky Smith vs. Il Dio vs. Sean Connor.
A filler match of sorts if I’m honest. The three men don’t have much of a rivalry and only have been involved over the past couple of weeks. This was your typical triple threat match. Smith and Connor teamed on the much larger Il Dio to start things off as the duo battered Dio down with punches and kicks. Sean pushed Il out of the ring just to turn around into a bulldog from Smith followed by a stalling suplex, a knee drop and a cover for just a two count. Smith whipped Connor into the ropes or a dropkick but Sean kept his distance and Smith hit the floor. Sean locked in a Boston Crab and Smith was almost ready to tap early on, but a big boot from Il Dio broke up the hold. Sean spilled to the outside as Dio began work on Smith with an abdominal stretch. Dio repeatedly knocked Smith with hits to the stomach. Eventually Connor got back into the ring and broke the hold with an impressive German suplex to Dio followed by a diving dropkick to Smith. Connor got himself on a roll, kneeing Dio in the head before performing a Crucifix Headscissor on Smith. Connor ascended the top rope to finish off Smith with the ever-painful Air Package but Smith sat up and Connor hit the mat hard. Ricky looked to cover his opponent but Il Dio came from behind and hoisted Ricky up for the Pumphandle Slam and the three count.

Winner: Il Dio.

Dio stood dominant after the match, Connor held his ribs as did Smith both falling to hard punishments.

Singles Match
Chris Jackel vs. Bull Bradley.
This was entitled the final battle as in a two-month rivalry both men had one win each in singles action. Jackel came out hard on Bradley in the opening minutes with a Lou Thez to kick off but the referee pulled him away as Bradley recouped. Jackel ran at Bradley but Bull took him down with the Spear! So early on Bradley hit’s his finished but only gets a two count. Bull argues with the referee, which allows Jackel to chop block Bull’s leg and lock in his signature Chokehold. Once again so early on a finisher is used. Bull does not tap though and gradually get’s to his feet with Jackel on his shoulder to connect with an Electric Chair Drop. Bradley proceeds to connect with two sick clotheslines and then a third, which flips Jackel. Bradley drills an elbow into Chris’ chest but only for yet another two. Chris is losing energy as he’s lifted up for an Oklahoma slam and then a Gutwrench Suplex. Bradley is looking totally dominant as he risk’s everything and ascends the top rope. Bradley leaps off and executes and diving clothesline. Jackel has been decimated as the crowd jeer but Bradley bends down to cover Chris only to walk into a small package for a close call two count. Jackel slowly rises to his feet, pulling out haymaker before finding strength for a dropkick and a cover but it’s not enough. Jackel kick’s Bradley in the head, and again, and again, again and again until Bradley falls to the mat and rolls to the outside as he holds his head whilst wandering around dizzily. Chris bounces off the ropes and dives over the other’s landing on Bull as he starts to gain momentum Jackel rolls Bradley back into the ring and climbs to the top rope. Jackel attempts the Shooting Star Press but lands on his feet as Bull moves as Jackel anticipated. Bradley connects with a big boot and ready’s for the spear but Jackel ducks away from the spear and connects with a jawbreaker to Bradley as he once again ascends the top rope for the Shooting Star Press. This time it’s a one, two, three.

Winner: Chris Jackel.

Jackel celebrates with a crowd, ending this feud on a high note by conquering the aggressive and much larger Bull Bradley. This is definitely a David and Goliath story.

The Escape the Cage starts to lower as the crowd cheer for the upcoming Assault Title Match. The announcer goes through the rules; Six men start in the ring surrounded by a cage with a roof, which does not have an exit other than a door which is padlocked shut. The six competitors will battle and one by one they will be eliminated by pinfall until the final two. When the third place finisher is pinned the roof will be lifted up and the only way to win the match is by escaping the cage. The first of the two wrestler’s feet to hit the floor will win the KWC Assault Championship.

Black took down Mask with a Hurricanrana before helping out his teammate. Stardust and Black fought on the side of the cage but Cyrus was smart and jumped off the drag Tommy down face first on the mat. Valintino viciously bashed Dragon’s head on the cage until Mask got a firm grip of the steel and reversed it to nail Eddy’s head on the cage and hop onto the top rope for a Dragoncanrana to eliminate Eddy Valintino (5:24). The match seemed a bit less clustered after Eddy left the cage threw the door which Rejero grasped before it was shut to hit AJ in the face with. The door was subsequently locked.

Stardust saw the Mask was still down as he got to his feet and stumbled over to the ropes as he proceeded to climb to near the top of the cage.

Rejero smirked and made his way up the cage but Aj was up quick and followed him.

KWC Championship
Triple Threat Match
Kevin Hart © vs. Ace Bennett vs. Angel Reid.
The three men were fired up after witnessing the long match that they will try to top. Bennett and Hart were given the biggest ovations of the night as Reid drew the most heat possible. Reid didn’t have his ally’s at ringside, as they were hurt backstage celebrating although he had much to live up to after that. The match was everyman for himself from the get go with Ace Bennett quickly gaining control as he took down the champion Hart as Hart took out rival Angel Reid with a knee to the jaw. Reid fell to the outside as Bennett gave Hart a kickpad to the back followed by one to the front. Ace drilled Hart with a springboard legdrop and then a double axe handle before hoisting him up for a suplex but once in the air Hart countered, dropping off behind Ace for a Full Nelson Facebuster. Hart locked in an Armbar but Angel Reid found his way back in and stomped out the submission. Angel threw Ace out of the ring and lifted up Kevin for a bearhug, after about 30 seconds Hart hadn’t tapped so Angel threw Kev backwards in a belly-to-belly suplex. Angel set Hart up on the top rope and headed up for the superplex but Ace got back in and interfered and in true Triple Threat fashion he powerbombed Angel off the turnbuckle causing Reid to hit Hart with a sick superplex. Ace covered Reid but to no avail, he covered Hart too but suffered the same fate. Ace climbed to the top rope and leaped off for a Moonsault, he connected on Angel but he stood up allowing Hart to roll Ace over into a backslide for a nearfall. Ace rolled away and Hart was met with a shining wizard. Kevin spilled to the outside and Bennett began to slug it out with Reid. Reid whipped Ace into the ropes and leapfrogged him before hoisting him onto his shoulder for the Crucifier! Reid was closing in on a title victory but Ace shockingly kicked out of the finisher. Reid was furious and lifted Ace for a second knee to the skull but Ace countered and whipped Angel into the corner. Bennett hit Angel hard with a back elbow to the face before lifting him onto the top rope. Ace climbed and connected with the Syracuse Drop, drilling Angel Reid. One, two but no Kevin Hart broke up the count pulling Ace to the outside and nailing him over the head with a chair. Hart and Ace fought hard on the outside until Hart battered Bennett’s head on the steel guardrail. Kevin climbed onto the metal rail and secured his balanced before leaping off for the 450 Splash and unlike at Eruption this time in connected. The crowd were in awe as Kev climbed back into the ring to face Reid but was viciously met with a Chair Shot to the face. Angel set up the chair in the corner and flung Hart head first at it but Hart reversed and Reid put in head through the chair. Angel fell to the ground and Hart climbed to the top for the Maple Leaf Marvel. Hart covered and retained his gold.
