From the PGCW Press Conference:

Jim Rival: "Yes, CHICKEN CLUB is facing CHICKEN CLUB at Clash of the Coast. Yes, I am the only CHICKEN CLUB representative at this press confidence. No, I will not tell you why we've had this match arranged. CLUB business is CLUB business. You want to know why me and my sister are facing Mario and Cyborg? Join the CLUB."

East Coast Cowboy: "You know I got nothing but respect for what PGCW has accomplished. It's a very youth-oriented organization, which means a lot of heavy competition and fast paced matches. But you youngsters got a lot to learn. I've been in this business for a long time. And me, Smith, Freddy, we're gonna learn you boys some things about wrestling."

Alex Kelley: "One more match. One more match and I will get to trade in this for the opportunity to expose Scott Saphyre. I'm going to prove that his title defense against me was nothing but a fluke. And once I'm Openweight Champion, I will be deciding who I face. No more of this being kept in the dark crap. What Kelley wants, Kelley will get."

William King: "My Queen and I are ready to become tag team champions. And once we become tag team champions we will be the dominant champions that this division sorely needs. Now I know there's some questions about how much punishment I've been taken recently, especially now that I'm defending a title in Bone Collection Wrestling. Well remember that BCW is nothing new to me and I am a better wrestler than I was when I was first wrestling for them. Besides, the bloody brawls please my Queen, and how can I ever deny her that?"

Johnny Jones: "Am I excited to face Jack Spade? What kind of question is that? Of course I am! I looked up to this guy! Jumpin' Jack Spade and Ace Diamond, they were my favorite tag team. I have a framed photo of myself with them on my wall. Why wouldn't I be? Now... yeah, I know Jack Spade has become... well, he isn't the Jack Spade I idolized anymore. He's a bitter, jaded man and he's kind of snapped. But he's also more aggressive than he used to be, and that makes for more of a challenge. And I have to forget about all the Jack Spade matches I've burned in my brain over the years... cause back then, he didn't have the Eight-Arm. And if I'm thinking about the old Jack Spade the Eight-Arm's gonna take me out. But this match, this match is going to be a dream come true."

Jack Spade: "Johnny Jones. What a punk-ass. You know what, fuck this shit."
(Jack Spade then flipped the table and stormed off)

Michael Ferrum: "Scott Saphyre is without a doubt one of the best technical wrestlers of the new generation of wrestlers. There's no denying that, and there's no denying he has a will to win that will make him a difficult champion to dethrone. But he's had nine matches as PGCW Openweight Champion. I've defended the Magic City Wrestling title thirteen times. I'm just as, if not more, dominant than Scott is. And I'm more skilled on the mat than Scott Saphyre is. As far as what my strategy will be... I have The Claw. And that is all the people need to know."

Scott Saphyre: "It's true, Michael Ferrum has won more matches as champion than I have. He's got more experience. And that Iron Claw is an absolutely lethal hold. Here's the thing though, he hasn't faced the same calibur of competition I've had. We're going to see at Clash of the Coast that 954 is a bigger number than 305. SCALPEL's gonna win, Mongo's gonna win, Johnny Jones is gonna win, and I'm gonna win. I'll say this though, Ferrum sounds pretty confident going into this but let me ask you all something... if he's so confident... why isn't he putting his title on the line?"

MC: "Michael Check here welcoming you all to the Proving Ground once more for some great PGCW action, with special guests from Magic City Wrestling coming to compete against some our very best. And we're opening with our first PGCW vs MCW match as SCALPEL faces off against the trio of East Coast Cowboy, Alligator Smith, and 'The Psycho Furry' Freddy Newman. ECC is a legend of the Southeast, has had incredible matches with the likes of Corey O'Brian, and was the inaugural MCW champion. His partners, Freddy Newman who we've seen before in the Proving Ground as well as the gigantic Alligator Smith, they haven't been getting along well at all, in fact Alligator Smith recently stole Newman's body pillow Waifu-chan during Newman's recent number one contender's match, and are set to face off with Newman putting his Nekomimi ears on the line to get Waifu-chan back. It'll be interesting to see how this trio of individuals will fare against the well oiled machine that is SCALPEL."

MC: "What a great back and forth encounter. SCALPEL did their best but despite Bobby K being a key asset with his power, it was the experience of East Coast Cowboy that won the day, a thunderous short arm lariat on Tristan Belmont knocking him almost out of his boots for the three count."

"Sunglasses At Night " by the Megas can be heard.

MC: "And here comes Alex Kelley looking to defend his Creative Commons championship tonight and if he does, he will be the next contender for the Openweight title. Some argue that Kelley has already deserved that honor for how he's defeated the current champ Scott Saphyre in two non-title matches, but you can bet Kelley wants to leave his contendership in no question tonight. And let's find out who will be the one to try to challenge him tonight."

"Hard Times Come Again No More (Atomic)" from the Civ VI OST plays

MC: "And his opponent tonight is 'Gentleman' Jeffrey Philips. Don't let his charming nature fool you, he pretends to be a pure sportsman but The Gentleman is anything but, he's an absolutely ruthless rule-breaker. Alex will want to keep a fast pace and avoid the armbar that Philips loves to use to finish off opponents."

Alex Kelley O [21:23- O'Connor Roll] Jeffrey Philips X
Alex Kelley makes his 5th Defense as Creative Commons Champion
And Becomes The Next Challenger For The Openweight Title

MC: "Back and forth action as Philips turned out to be a tougher challenge than Mr. Photogenic expected but despite Philips managing to latch in the armbar, Kelley was able to fight back, nearly getting the win with a perfectly executed superkick and following up with an O'Connor Roll for the three count. Kelley has now made it official, he will be the next challenger to the Openweight championship."

MC: "The next match we have on deck is bout between CHICKEN CLUB members against themselves as Mario Black and the Black Cyborg face off against Jim Rival and the CLUB's newest member and Rival's sister Terra. CHICKEN CLUB have been in radio silence since their boss Harlan Sanders IV was hospitalized by Mongo but the rumor mill is in full swing, with speculation that CHICKEN CLUB is facing a power struggle with Black, Cyborg, and Rival all trying to take the helm, leading to this match. The big mystery of it is that commissioner Walter Cranston hasn't even figured out which member of CHICKEN CLUB signed off on this. But here it is, CHICKEN CLUB colliding."

Cyborg O/Black [21:26- "Elimination Protocol" + Drop Toe Hold on a chair] Rival X/Terra

MC: "It seemed like Rival still had fight in him when he got up from Elimination Protocol before Black Cyborg could pin him but that lead to a drop toe hold on that chair that Mario Black brought in that would be enough to get the three count. Looks like there's still some tension in the ring and they might come to blows..."

*"Mississippi King" by Five Horse Johnson hits*

MC: "That's Eddie Mudwater! He's a regular in the Gulf Coast circuit, one of the nastiest and meanest individuals in the business... and he's got a mic."

Eddie: "Y'know... it's a damn shame. Y'all been callin' Sanders up in the hospital, not to wish him well, but ta try to get him ta name ya the new leader of the CHICKEN CLUB. None of ya had the courtesy to just see how he was doin? Damn shame. An' that's why I'm here, see, Sanders hired my services to keep ya'll in line while he recuperates. Meaning from now on, ya'll working for me, and CHICKEN CLUB is now part of the Mississippi Mafia. Ya'll don't believe me, give 'im a ring. Make it quick though... we got business ta discuss."

MC: "Well nobody in CHICKEN CLUB seem to thrilled at this as the five of them head to the back. Meanwhile it's time for our next bout as the monster Mongo goes up against Magic City Wrestling's resident psychopath, the original Florida Man. Both men are dangerous but this is not a hardcore enviroment, which on paper favors the powerhouse Mongo. Then again, Florida Man doesn't care much for the rules anyway."

MC: "A back and forth physical war with both men throwing the rules out of the window but in the end despite being bloodied by a foreign object Mongo managed to deliver a skull cracking Mongo Boot in the corner to win the bout. Moving on from physical brutality to sheer athleticism now as two of our top tag teams, Plane Shift and Down Right Fierce, look to gain favor in our ultra-competitive tag team division."

MC: "What a fantastic back and forth battle folks. It seemed like either team could have been the winners but in the end Murder Dragon with that Tiger Suplex to the floor softening GAMEOVER up for a Shooting Star Press in the ring, and if they can replicate that performance Plane Shift could be three-time tag team champions soon. But first we have to see if the 12th PGCW Tag Team Champions, Age of Magic, can be the first team to retain the titles in a long time as they face off against William King and Kathy Queen, Team Crawling Chaos, in their first attempt at tag team gold. King and Queen have proven to be a formidable pairing in the past, can they become the next in a long string of new tag team champions?"

For those keeping track, that's FOUR titles held between Team Crawling Chaos... King is the Bone Collection Wrestling champ, and Kathy Queen is the Amazon-1 and MCW Ladies champion. This also makes Kathy Queen the official first woman to compete in and win PGCW title match. History being made!"

MC: "But as Crawling Chaos reach a new height, we go to a new beginning. Johnny Jones returning to singles competition and he is looking to impress the PGCW matchmakers going up against Magic City Wrestling's Jack Spade. Spade was at one time one of the hottest junior heavyweights in the world, both in singles action and as part of a tag team with the great Ace Diamond. But Spade is now a bitter man, after putting his former partner out of wrestling with a concussion has been the bane of many a youngster, and his newest weapon the Eight-Arm can knock anyone out. Johnny Jones can prove himself here but will he survive the encounter?"

Johnny Jones X [16:11- Straightjacket Powerbomb] Jack Spade O

MC: "Woah! Johnny Jones put up a remarkable fight but The Wildcard is a crafty veteran. After a German Suplex Spade sensed Jones was in dire straights, pulled out a page from Jones' own playbook with that Straightjacket Powerbomb, and that was the end of this match. Another heartbreaking setback for the inaugural Creative Commons Champion who was looking to use tonight as a chance to climb up the ranks to become PGCW's first triple crown champ."

MC: "But speaking of the Openweight Title it is time for our main event. Magic City Wrestling's champion, Michael Ferrum, going one on one against PGCW's champion, the heart and soul of PGCW, The Man In Blue Scott Saphyre. These two are very evenly matched on paper, great mat wrestlers, Ferrum more physical on the mat Scott the more athletic. Ferrum likes to focus on using his vicious Claw to win matches, Scott has many ways to put an opponent down and I understand that in preparation for this match Scott Saphyre has been training in DRAGONSUPLEX Dojo run by the legendary Corey O'Brian. We could see some new tricks in the Saphyre playbook tonight, it is said if you don't learn from Corey O'Brian you can't be taught. This has the potential to be the match of the year folks, get ready."

MC: "And it is pandemonium folks, Johnny Morbid and The Aristocrats, Moist an Buzzy Bluedog, attacking Scott Saphyre and Michael Ferrum..."

*Ferrum tries to put THE CLAW on Bluedog but Moist spins him around, hitting "The Moisturizer" (Small Package Bomb). Scott dropkicks him out of the ring and hits a spinning wheel kick on Johnny Morbid, calling for Death Wears Blue but Buzzy delivers "BlueDog" (Kotaro Crusher) from behind! Moist and Buzzy lift up Scott Saphyre for yet another "Spitroast Suplex" (Magic Killer) and Morbid hits "Skullfuck Snuff Scene Special" (Package Tombstone) on Michael Ferrum before Moist slides a chair, Morbid hooking up Scott for another 4S onto the chair when Down Right Fierce, Ben Davis, Johnny Jones and nearly all the faces come out*

MC: "And now the locker room has cleared out to isolate these three, Johnny Morbid and The Aristocrats,the hell are they even doing here... Walter Cranston out here with a BSO deputy, Morbid's getting cuffed and the boss has a mic."

WC: "GET THEM OUT OF HERE! Morbid, Aristocrats, congratulations you've just set a record for shortest time in a promotion, I hired you tonight but I'm also firing you tonight! GET THEM OUT OF HERE!"

SS: "Woah, boss. Remember what we talked about? Me being the representative of this company? I should teach this facepainted asshole a lesson myself."

WC: "SHUT UP SCOTT! I get you, but I am NOT giving this asshole the satisfaction of getting what he wants. You're the PGCW Openweight Champ, and you have a responsibility to defend it. Alex Kelley is the next contender and we both know if I let Morbid jump the gun he'll never let us hear the end of it. You want a piece of him... there's other promotions to do it in, you're NOT fighting him here."

SS: "You're worried about what Kelley thinks? One second."

*Scott huddles up with Plane Shift, Down Right Fierce, his friend Ben Davis, Johnny Jones and SCALPEL, before Scott turns back to Walter Cranston.*

SS: "If you don't make it happen... WE ALL QUIT."

WC: "Alright. I know you don't mean that, let's not say anything that none of us can take back. Kelley's not going to like this... but that's my problem. Our next show... it will be Scott Saphyre... Alex Kelley... and Johnny Morbid... THREE WAY DANCE. But there's a lot of you who want to get in on this and three of them. So tell you what. Scott, you have one week to decide who faces off against The Aristocrats as well."

MC: "And there we go folks, we're just about out of time right now. Stay tuned because PGCW is back and more will come very soon!"

Mercy Toombs is sitting down with Mongo's therapist Dr. Schrumpfen

DS: "I hope you understand, Ms. Toombs, I have to do what I believe is best for Mongo, and I do not believe that entails with associating with people of your... business."

MT: "I do understand, Doctor. Rest assured I am not looking to recruit Mongo and I share your beliefs that my line of work is not suitable for his rehabilitation. The reason why I seek this is for his benefit as much as my own. Are you familiar with the Mississippi Mafia, Doctor?"

DS: "I have never heard of them."

MT: "Well allow me to explain. My business matters are intended to be... socially positive, in my own way. We act to a code of ethics and honor and those who come to us are not exploited. Profited from, certainly, but we do not exploit anyone and we only harm those who seek to do harm to us. Eddie Mudwater's organization, on the other hand... has no such ethical base. They have no ethics, no honor, and when they don't have enough customers for their wares they force people to become customers. And in some cases, they force people to become... part of the business, if you catch my meaning."

DS: "I... I think I do. I do not wish to see Mongo abused as he was under Mister Sanders."

MT: "Which is exactly why it is in our mutual interest to rid PGCW of Eddie Mudwater as soon as possible. There is one slight hurdle on my end, however. Surely you are aware that Mongo has a... reputation."

DS: "And given his actions against Sanders I can understand why that reputation exists. Rest assured, Miss Toombs. I have helped Mongo manage his violent tendencies. He does not attack someone unless they are opponents in his match, or initiate direct physical contact with him."

MT: "You do realize we WILL need to touch him? It's a tag match."

DS: "I meant obvious violent contact. Rest assured I will make sure that Mongo understands your Family will be on his side."

MT: "That will do."

Toombs shakes hands with Schrumpfen.

MC: "Alright ladies and gentlemen it is time to draw the eight names that will compete to become the 9th Creative Commons champion. With me is a representative of the Florida State Athletic Commission who has reviewed every application for this match to ensure there are no duplicates and that everyone involved is cleared to compete in the state for both medical and conduct qualifications. I have not seen any of these entries myself, and they will be drawn at random. And now, before I begin...."

*MC spins a tumbler and draws names*

MC: "First entrant.... a freelancer, Joey 'Fidget' Spinner, he loves to do tons of spinning moves including an excellent spinning cradle."

MC: "Second... of the Killer Knees, Electric Monkey!"

MC: "Third entrant... Ben 'Loco' Davis!"

MC: "Fourth... from Bone Collection Wrestling, the Necromaniac! He's a powerhouse and will have no problem throwing people over the top rope."

MC: "Next up... runner-up in the Amazon-1 Grand Prix, representing The Bloodline, Camarilla!"

MC: "Sixth entrant... the inaugural Creative Commons champion, the one and only Johnny Jones!"

MC: "And down to two... another Amazon-1 competitor, a vicious submission specialist, 'The Punisher' Andi Harms!"

MC: "And last but not least... from Bon Temps Pro Wrestling, a veteran of the Determination League, the 50s sitcom superstar Willy G Wilikers! Enjoy this bonus folks, footage of Kathy Queen defending her MCW Ladies Title."

In a locker room, Eddie Mudwater has coolers of beer. Around him are Wrecker Jr, Mario Black, Black Cyborg and Jacob Toombs.

EM: "Where's Rival an' Terra?"

MB: "They went home. Terra tweaked her elbow, so they're going to Urgent Care to get it checked out."

EM: "Well this ain' about them anyway. The man'a the hour is our hero, Jacob Toombs! Without this man we'd be fightin' a turf war that'd just slow us allllll down."

Eddie passes out beers, and they all toast.

JT: "Well, you made a convincing pitch. So, where's Mercy? I thought we were just going to leave her out on the highway."

EM: "Change of plans, pardner. Mercy's gotta be made an example of. She's gonna work in my sin show till I reckon the lesson's been learnt."

JT: "That was not the deal. You said if I could secure you Florida without a fight Mercy would be free to go to Langley unharmed."

EM: "But there was a fight Jacob. Thanks to Mongo she damn near won. Speakin' of, ya'll are sure he's taken care of right?"

BC: "Combatant designated 'Mongo' cannot engage without asset designated 'Schrumpfen'."

EM: "...Mario I don' speak robot, whassat mean?"

MB: "He means since Wrecker broke Dr. Schrumpfen's neck, Mongo won't be allowed to compete. As long as the doc's in a hospital bed, Mongo's got to be in the psych ward."

JT: "Eddie, you broke the deal."

EM: "Now calm down Jacob. Hear me out. You're in this ta protect yer kin, Mercy included. Well thas what I'm doin. With Mercy workin fer me, Langley won' make a move. Langley makes a move, I make a move. Yer kin in Austin, Seattle, Mesa, Fargo... I can take em all out with one phone call. An' then Langley won' be far behind. An then the ones that are left will ALL be sinnin' fer me. Ya don' wan' that. I don' need it."

Eddie finishes his beer and tosses the can behind him.

EM: "But I sympathize with yer concerns. Tell ya what... Mercy won' be workin the shows after the watershed."

JT: "That includes the 2AM shows."

EM: "Of course. I'm no monster, Jacob."

Wrecker: "Hold on... what's the 2AM show like?"

Mario whispers to Wrecker, who looks to Mario like 'seriously' and Mario nods.

Wrecker: "Damn. Not gonna cross you, boss."

EM: "Damn straight. Now that the business part of this meetin's been settled, let's enjoy ourselves."
-------------------------
Meanwhile, Jimmy The Razor, Bobby Ka'Ana'Ana, and Tristan Belmont are all at a bar.

JTR: "SCALPEL BABY! Round on me!"

They all order drinks when Bobby taps Jimmy on the shoulder, headtilting to Alex Kelley in the corner, looking half-passed out.

JTR: "...Huh. You really think so? Tristan, shirt me."

Bobby facepalms and Tristan reaches into a backpack and produces a SCALPEL shirt, Jimmy taking it and heading to Alex.

JTR: "Hey man I know it sucks coming up short for a belt but you got another chance... and with someone watching your back you'll come up top for sure. SCALPEL BABY! What do you say?"

AK: "Just wish Eric would talk to me."

JTR: "...Eric Adventure? He got fired bro. Ages ago."

AK: "My brother Eric...."

JTR: "Eric Adventure's your brother?"

AK: "No.... he's..."

Alex then looks over to Jimmy and seemingly snaps out of whatever funk he's in.

AK: "The fuck you doin' in my booth? I got a pair of redhead twins comin' my way you'll cramp my style! What you looking for tips from the next Openweight Champ, here's a tip: BEAT IT!"

JTR: "Well I was just..."

AK: "NO I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING JOIN SCALPEL! Get lost!"

Jimmy backs off and heads to his stablemates.

JTR: "On second thought, three is a good number for us."

-After the match, Kelley hit Black Cyborg with AK-47 (Tajiri Kick). The Mississipi Mafia came out to confront Kelley until Kelley addressed Eddie Mudwater with a proposal: Alex Kelley vs Black Cyborg. If Kelley wins, Black Cyborg loses his mask. If Cyborg wins... Kelley will join CHICKEN CLUB.
-------------
Alex Kelley: "Why do I want to fight Black Cyborg so badly? It's not about how we were the first main event in PGCW. It's not about how we've had excellent matches up and down the whole Southeastern US. It's not about getting back momentum after losing to Scott Saphyre. It's not about any of those things."

Alex: "The reason why I want to fight Black Cyborg... the reason I want his mask..."

Kelley stops, turning away from the camera for a bit. He takes off his sunglasses and wipes his eyes.

Alex: "I miss my baby brother. I miss Eric. And I know it's you, bro. We haven't talked since dad died... and I think I understand why. It's cause I wasn't there at the end, right? I wanted to be there. To make peace with him. But my flight was delayed. Would I have left Japan if I didn't want to be there Eric? If I wasn't trying to patch things up, wouldn't I have just tried to video chat with him instead? We had our differences, me and Dad, but I loved him. And I miss him as much as I miss you."

Alex: "Maybe it's something else, I don't know. I can't think of what else it can be. Whatever it is Eric we can work it out but I know it will take time. I just want to be able to see you again."

Armo Halla: "MISSISSIPPI MAFIA!"

Hjalmar Susi: "We cannot punish the cowards Black and Toombs directly, not yet. But the Mafia, we will invade, we will raid, we will BURN YOU DOWN!"

Armo Halla: "We have sent a call to arms to our fellow Northmen, and two warriors have answered! Our brother Magnus Skullhammer, and the Warrior Queen Alena Sturmbjorn will join is in battle!"

Hjalmar Susi: "We will find glory in victory or in the halls of Valhalla."

Armo Halla: "THE RAIDING PARTY SAILS TO THE PROVING GROUND!"
------------
Ken Archer: "I'm not sure what got into GAMEOVER. Maybe he's frustrated, I am too. We went from top of the division to bottom of the heap. Maybe... maybe he wants to move on. Can't really blame him. But if he wants to aim for the Openweight Title well... now there's two more people in that race. But I'm ahead of him in that race, aren't I? Davis, Razor, one of us has got to pull ahead in the race, and I've been waiting far too long for my shot to fall short now. Attack me if you dare, I will crush you."

PGCW You Got The Touch

We begin with our Creative Commons Title Match, a title that has changed hands several times during the tour. History between the competitors, challenger Cap'n Edward Read was unseated as Louisiana Pro Wrestling champion by CC titleholder "The Main Man" David Bishop. Bishop used his street fighting mentality to gain an early advantage, scoring a near fall with "Corpus Christi Crash" (Crucifix Bomb) but a second attempt was countered into "Cut'f Yer Jib" (Cutter) by Read to take the gold. Read would rally forth and look for "Queen Anne's Revenge" (Reverse Brainbuster) but Bishop gouged Read in the eyes! Following that up with a slam, Bishop capitalized with his unique Bottom Rope Frog Splash for the three count.

Six-Man Tag action next up as Johnny Jones and Plane Shift battle the new, darker GAMEOVER and the Killer Knees. The action was fast and furious until GAMEOVER unleashed his sadistic side on Murder Dragon, throwing him violently into the barricade before hitting him with "Kill Screen" (Brainbuster), only for the tactic to blow up in his face when Spider Jack caught him with a sudden STO the second GAMEOVER entered the ring, following that up with "Daddy Long Legs" (Diving Legdrop) for the three count.

Our third match is one with Openweight Title implications as Ben "Loco" Davis, Ken Archer, and SCALPEL's leader Jimmy The Razor faced off in a three way dance. Three of the top singles wrestlers in PGCW battled for 30 minutes with neither getting an advantage and keeping the crowd on the edge of their seat, the field being dropped to two after Ken Archer used the uranage slam to set up "Antagonizer" (Cattle Mutilation) to submit Ben Davis. Jimmy The Razor hit a flurry of offense, including multiple Shining Wizards and "Stand Alone Complex" (Standing C4) but Archer managed to kick out. Razor looked to throw Archer to the ropes for another Stand Alone Complex but Archer reversed, decking Jimmy with a brutal spinkick, followed up with "Archer's Arrow III: 3rd Strike" (One Winged Angel) for the three count!

Next was a wild and chaotic brawl as The Raiding Party geared up in eight-person tag action with Eddie Mudwater's Mississippi Mafia. It was a back and forth struggle in this rare 4-on-4 tag but descended to chaos more than once as the action would spill to the floor many times as the Mafia tried to gain advantage by gang tactics and use of weapons. A chair to the back of Alena Sturmbjorn by Mudwater while referee Cindi Slam was distracted would lead to Wrecker Jr looking for the career-ending "Homewrecker" (TKO Stunner), but Alena would escape, slamming Wrecker down and locking in the "Knee Splitter" (Stretch Muffler) for a submission win. After the match the Mafia would try to rush the viking quartet but would be forced to retreat, leaving Jim Rival in the ring to eat a "Slepnir Kick" (Kneelkick) from Hjalmar Susi and a "Baltic Stampede" (Running Powerslam) by Armo Halla, Kings of the North getting measure of revenge tonight.

Next would be a steel cage match as RUST from Hollywood Knights would battle Mongo, fallout from their encounters during the King of The Monsters tournament. This was as physical a bout as anyone could have predicted, RUST using his sheer size to gain an early advantage but Mongo answering with his relentless aggression and brute strength. Mongo seemingly had it when he straight up tanked a "RUST Bomber" (Axe Bomber) and answered with "Mongo Boot" (Running Leaping Boot)... but RUST got right back up! A torture rack, choke bomb, and even RUST throwing Mongo into the cage with a military press wouldn't stop the madman who delivered a skull-cracking second Mongo Boot for the three count!

Tag Team titles on the line now as Mario Black and Jacob Toombs, former champs in their own right battle the most dominant tag team in PGCW for quite some time, Team Crawling Chaos in another chaotic brawl. King and Queen were going strong, Queen nearly submitting Jacob Toombs with "Eat At Kate's" (Shining Triangle) and King nearly putting away Mario Black with "Dunwich Horror" (Single Arm Brainbuster). However Mario Black would bring the title run of King and Queen to a screeching halt with a sickening piledriver to Kathy Queen leaving her motionless and unconsious for a ref stoppage. Queen would be put on a backboard and stretchered out, King following her as the callous new champions celebrated in the ring.

Next up is Mask vs Affiliation as Black Cyborg battles Alex Kelley in a rematch of the very first main event of PGCW, and this bout was just as competitive and action packed as the original, kicks and submissions and high flying antics abound all over the ring. In the end Black Cyborg went for a suplex, Kelley floated over and went for "AK-47" (Tajiri Kick), Cyborg ducked it and hit Kelley with a Falcon Arrow, center of the ring for the three count!

After the match Eddie Mudwater got in the ring and clapped for both men, giving Kelley a CHICKEN CLUB T-Shirt that he, in a surprising act of good sport, immediately put on. Mudwater then spoke to Cyborg, then to Kelley... and Cyborg and Kelley would hug in the ring. Afterward Kelley would gain a mic, saying that he may have lost the match, and his independance, but he won what he really wanted... his brother back.

And now we'd come to the main event as King of The Monsters, Hangman of Edinburgh II, would battle against the Man In Blue, Scott Saphyre. Scott rallied early on but Hangman quickly went to his deathmatch roots, using foreign objects to bloody the champion and then used his size and power to dominate the champ. At times it seemed inevitable that the reign of Saphyre was ending this night, "Twist In The Wind" (Swinging Full Nelson Slam), "Hangman's Fracture" (Chokeslam Brainbuster), and a Backdrop Chokeslam all getting near falls as the Man In Blue just wouldn't stay down. Scott managed to throw the Hangman to the cover, going for a dive.... Hangman had grabbed a chair but Saphyre put his hands outstretched Superman style, the chair hitting the Hangman in the face! Back in the ring, Scott quickly takes advantage of the monster's mishap, "Death Wears Blue" (Fisherman DDT), hooks the leg, one, two, three!

The show ends with Scott in the center of the ring, clutching the title, a his face a bloody mess... and then on the big screen, "A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS" flashes, before "Ken's Theme With Lyrics" by Brentalfloss heralded the arrival of Ken Archer. Ken enters the ring and helps Scott up, the two shaking hands. As fellow gamers and colleauges, the two have a friendship and mutual respect, but will they be shaking hands after what is sure to be another amazing title match?
