-"The One-Man Zoo" L-Ride(w/ Rocky Baxter) won a triple threat match with The Monster Blackwell and "The Man On Fire" Kai Phoenix when he pinned Phoenix after the 450 Splash (8:08).  Blackwell seemed lost without Halo at ringside, but made up for it by delivering a sitout chokeslam to L-Ride after the bell.

Switchblaze("Switchblade" Garrett Shanks & "The Incinerator" Shawn Blaze) in a no-DQ match to retain the Tag Team Titles; Zulu and Wilder hit a stereo splash and legdrop from opposite middle turnbuckles on Blaze before dogpiling him for the pin (8:08).

-Iorio The Juggalo(w/ Equinox) d. "The Victim Claimer" Alister Crow(w/ Malicious Intent) after a Codebreaker (6:52); the referee enforced Sadie Blaze's ruling by ordering the rest of Malicoius Intent to the backstage area before the match began.

--NOTES:  Return to Edwardsville is Saturday 11/7.  Full Official Ben Simon Concession Count(tm) for the weekend:  Chicken tenders with barbecue sauce and Mountain Dew, plus water on Friday.  Mild-sauce boneless buffalo wings with ranch dressing and Pepsi, plus water on Saturday.  Fun weekend with strong turnouts for both shows and some interesting names making their debuts as well as visiting backstage.  More later, probably.
