Pro Wrestling Collision TV #8

Commentators:  Kevin Hunsperger & Jerome Cusson.

Brandon Espinosa & Ace Hawkins vs. The Kings Of The Armory(Sugar Dunkerton & Aaron Epic) for the Tag Team Titles:  It's a face/face battle for the belts...and it's confirmed that the winners will defend against Alex Castle & Reed Bentley at the next event.  YAY WRESTLING~!  Cue the feeling-out process...Hawkins and Epic tangle, then Espinosa and Dunkerton lock up as it threatens to turn into a dance-off.  Tempers flare as the four men exchange harsh words, then they all start brawling...IT'S ON~!  Just as things are getting good, Castle and Bentley run in for the Sportz Entertainment Finish...bah!  Now Matt Cage and Zakk Sawyer join the fun as the heels beat down both teams...No Limits Champion Joey O'Riley runs off the heels with a 2x4, but the damage has been done as Cage managed to re-injure Epic's knee.

Heavyweight Champion Heath Hatton addresses his recent battles...

Kyle Sykes vs. Frank Wyatt(w/ J. Wellington Beauregard):  Sykes and Chase King were allowed to pick each other's poison for the night...it appears King went the sadistic route with his choice of the super heavyweight Wyatt.  Sykes was able to beat the larger Matt King recently, to his credit...and he finally gets Chase in the ring at the next event.  Sykes tries to keep moving in the early going but Wyatt finally catches him and it's downhill from there.  Beauregard's managerial associate Gaylord Stevens comes out to ringside despite his lack of official allegiance to Wyatt...hmm.  Sykes goes aerial in his big rally, hitting the plancha off the top as Wyatt seeks refuge on the floor.  Back in the ring, moonsault press gets two...and Wyatt finally declares playtime over and pummels him.  Repeated turnbuckle powerbombs lead into a standard powerbomb and that whole sequence goes past the referee's five-count...that's a DQ.  King Entertainment(Chase & Matt) decide to add more damage to the already banged-up Kyle Sykes, dropping him with their K-2 double-team finisher(fireman's-carry by Matt spun into a Diamond Cutter by Chase).

Espinosa, Hawkins, O'Riley, & Dunkerton issue the challenge to Cage, Castle, Bentley, & Sawyer for an eight-man tag later tonight.

Heavyweight Champion Heath Hatton vs. Chase King(w/ Matt King), non-title:  This was Sykes' choice for King's opponent.  Hatton's set to defend in a triple threat match against Shane Rich and Bull Bronson at the next event.  Heath overpowers King at the start and King claims a hair pull...ha ha.  Hatton controls the action until Matt interjects himself, allowing Chase to attack from behind...then Chase ties up the ref while Matt runs Heath into the ringpost.  It essentially becomes a two-on-one situation as Matt gets in his shots whenever the official's attention is elsewhere.  Heath finally fights back with a spinebuster, but Matt blatantly enters the ring to clothesline Hatton while the ref is with Chase, allowing Chase to cover...for two.  Chase goes to the top rope but misses the splash...time for the real rally.  Russian legsweep gets two.  Third floor...Heath kicks Matt away before landing the missile dropkick.  Enter Bull Bronson...and he breaks up the H2KO(falling DDT) for the DQ...even the announcers are getting sick of all the disqualification finishes.  Shane Rich enters for the save but Hatton BELTs him by mistake(he was aiming for Bull) as Kyle Sykes runs out to brawl with King Entertainment...then Bronson plants Heath with a Demon Bomb and poses with the belt.  Heath and Shane recover but Rich is upset about being hit with the belt...

No Limits Champion Joey O'Riley, Tag Team Champions Brandon Espinosa & Ace Hawkins, & Sugar Dunkerton vs. Matt Cage, Alex Castle, Reed Bentley, & Zakk Sawyer:   It's a pier-six(eight?) brawl right out of the gate and the good guys clear the ring.  Add a few big dives for good measure...why not?  We finally settle down to two guys in the ring(Dunkerton and Cage)...it's noted that the faces took the time to color-coordinate for this one as they're all in green.  Castle and Bentley are apparently the "Gentlemen Broncos"...okay.  Sawyer takes a beating that includes Sugar literally dribbling his head like a basketball...well played.  Cage finally turns the tide against Espinosa by pulling him into the middle rope throat-first...but Espy gets out of trouble and makes the hot tag to Hawkins.  Ace cleans house and tags in O'Riley who keeps up the high-flying assault, but the heels work together to stop Joey in his tracks.  O'Riley finally fights out of a Cage superplex and hits a slingshot DDT...tag to Sawyer, tag to Dunkerton!  Sugar gets a figure-four leglock and Joey gets the same hold on Cage...then Espy gets Castle in the hold and Hawkins gets Bentley!  The ref isn't sure who to check but the heels fight out of the holds, then the finishers start flying...Espinosa frog-splashes Cage but Castle stops Espy with a low blow.  Castle and Bentley hit Espinosa with the spike fisherman buster and Bentley gets the three-count!  Reed grabs the three belts at ringside and hands the No Limits Title belt to Sawyer...leading to Cage grabbing it for himself.  Heh.
