•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• OPENING MATCH Andrew Parker vs Chris Slaughter Stipulation: Singles / Non Title Result: For the past few months Parker has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury. That left many baffled when one of his first matches back pitted him up against Chris Slaughter , who overcame Ashley Ricci and Tyrone Marshall at Tokyo Terror. This one started as expected as Slaughter uses his superior power to throw Parker around like a rag doll. He then starts clubbing on his back at one stage, leaving a lot a swelling on the back of the 'Justice Bringer'. It wasn't much of a surprise when the fans started getting behind Parker due to the beating he was taking. It didn't help much at first as Slaughter almost won off a vicious strike right to the head. It honestly looked like it had knocked out Parker, but he was able to kick out right before the referee counted down his shoulders for the three. Slaughter hits his trademark, Slaughter to Prevail which ends with a knee right to your face. It left Parker in a bad state and likely near the end of this match up. The German born Russian lifts up Parker and sets him up for the double powerbomb aka Go To Hell. He lifts him up for the first but as he does Parker starts punching away at his face, then is able to turn it into a Franksteiner right into a pin as he hooks both legs. To everybody's shock, he is able to keep the champion's shoulders down for a three with the kick out happening far too late. Slaughter sat up instantly and Parker is smart about it by getting out there as soon as possible. The 'Justice Bringer' has brought an end to Slaughter's winning streak while also maybe starting one of his own. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SEGMENT Outcome: Gabriel Hunter is looking at his watch while standing outside the women's locker room. Natasha Ivanov walks out of the room holding a bag and hands it over to Gabriel as she says something in Russian. The Menace responds by saying something in Russian then smiles at her as she walks past him. He then unzips the bag and inside is everything that belongs to Lauren Li. Clearly she has been caught short in the shower and now everything she brought to the arena with her is in Gabriel's possession. He walks off with it as the cameras follow him. They then watch as he empties the bag out into the dumpster , clearly happy to be doing this. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SECOND MATCH Gage Steele w/Mike Malice & Dakota Huntress vs Dean Creed w/ Queen Chloe Stipulation: Leather Strap Match Result: The next match on the card saw Dark Order's own Gage Steele battle it out with Dean Creed. These two men have met twice already this year, but this time they have people backing them up. Gage had the entire Dark Order with him which included Women's champion Tara Malice. It didn't make much different to Creed, who used the strap to his advance early by balling it up with his fist then using it for extra damage when punching Gage in the face. This did turn into more of a fist fight than wrestling match with Gage giving as good as he got. Creed went low with a gut kick and then clotheslines him using the strap as he looks to rebuild what after a very mixed year. It's been a while since the One Man Army has been at the top of the food chain and many feel he will never get back there. Pierce Kingsley knocked off the perch and he hasn't climbed back. Here he is doing well despite the games Tara and co were trying to play. He knocked down Gage at one point with a pop up punch and dragged him to two corners, almost winning the leather strap match right there and then. Instead Malice ended up getting involved and clobbered his old mate with a high impact elbow smash. Chloe went to make the save but she was taken out by Dakota, who ends up picking her up and slamming her right into the barricade. That allowed Gage to eventually gain the upper hand and hit Creed with the Back To Belly Piledriver aka Raging Canjun. Once he had hit that move the rest was easy as he dragged to Creed to each corner, touching each one to eventually win the match. Once the bell sounds it ends with Gage wrapping the strap around Creed's throat. The rest of the pack join in as they beat down on the One Man Army. The numbers weren't good for him or for Chloe who was thrown in the ring. All of a sudden Denzel Brown and Roxy Marshall run out to get involved. Roxy battles it out with Tara right away while the 'Revolutionist' boots Malice right in the face. This is similar to the scenes seen on RC as security is rushed out to put things into order. Tyler York walks on out and suggests he will let them settle this on the next Dark Oasis as the Dark Order will fight Creed, Chloe, Roxy and Denzel in a four vs four elimination match. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SEGMENT Outcome: Shockingly Lauren has left the room and is wrapped in a towel. It appears she hasn't had much luck in the way of finding clothes. Her night seemed to get worse when she ran into Isaiah who questioned her attire. Lauren didn't have a lot to say but did ask if she knew anyone who could spare some clothing, at least for her next match. Isaiah appeared to be carrying merch and shows her a number of his newly released T-shirts. Those would be ideal for a temporary situation but not for a wrestling match. He then shows he has merch for women too as he knows women love Isaiah. That merch is some hot pants with Isaiah's face on it and a tube top. It wouldn't be the best clothing to wear but Lauren just decided to go for it, grabbing it off Isaiah. The cocky contender for the World title did stop her when she went for the shirt too as he mentioned how nothing is free, even if she can borrow the merch for tonight. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THIRD MATCH Lauren Li vs Gabriel Hunter Stipulation: Singles / Special referee Ciara Fierce Result: We see a confident Gabriel in the ring next as he made his entrance pretty quickly. Seeing Natasha Ivanov with him did give many questions, especially with what we saw earlier. The Menace gets on the mic and suggests he should be named the winner as Lauren will forfeit. He also wants Ciara to raise his hand then name him as the new number one contender for the Global Championship. He states he won't fail where his old mate Nick did. Ciara refuses at first as she stood in the middle of the ring with her referee shirt on. The Menace grabs her by the shirt as he tells her to do her job. Lauren suddenly makes her way out, wearing the pink Isaiah Thorne branded hot pants and tube top. Not exactly something she wanted to wear but at least she made it out to the ring. The match did begin, even with Lauren in that attire. She didn't bring any less of a fight as she kicks the hell out of Gabriel while also moving around the ring at pace. She went for a quick finish but it ended with her being on Gabriel's shoulders and hit with Hunted [Powerbomb dropped into double knee backbreaker]. Normally it could've ended things but the Menace decided to make a pin attempt by putting one foot on Lauren to make the cover. There was no real surprise when she kicks out from that which led to Gabriel arguing with Ciara, telling her she is trying to screw him over. Ciara warns him she will DQ him if he continued to act this way. Gabriel ends up getting back control, putting Lauren through a painful night. He gets cocky and went to set up the powerbomb into a double knee backbreaker yet again. This time Lauren fights out of it when she is on his shoulders, hitting him enough to get out the hold. One kick to the head then floors Gabriel allowing him to be hit with Backflip moonsault then the Taste Of Korea [Front row then kick] when Gabriel stands. That put an end to Gabriel as his shoulders are pinned to the mat to give Lauren her first real win since returning. Ciara raises her hand and knows full well she has a real challenge coming her way sooner rather than later. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SEGMENT Outcome: Josh is seen talking to Tyler York and Mike Hawk as they try to figure out the Rais situation. Rumours have been swirling that he is in Toronto and he has another victim tonight. Josh vows to stop him, whatever it takes. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• FOURTH MATCH Hope Sweet vs Raine Stipulation: Hardcore Match Result: The next battle saw Hope Sweet fight it out with Raine in a hardcore match. Raine brought the silence since she had that dagger and used it to cut into Hope's flesh. Soon it is out her hands but the blood did have it's effect on the Hardcore Whore, who gets her ass kicked for most of the fight after that. Raine put her through a table, suplexes her on a ladder then grabs a monitor off the announcers table and hits her over the head with it. Now by the sounds of all of that, this one ended early didn't it? No as Hope managed to kick out of all of that including Raine's Sweet Sacrifice RKO which didn't put an end to the match at all. Hope is a badass and not someone you can keep down easily. She fought through the pain barrier and in the end got the win after hitting her own RKO known as SEX. She kept Raine's shoulders down to get the win and progress towards a clash with Slaughter. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SEGMENT Outcome: Gabriel is angry about his loss to a half dressed Lauren and has confronted Ciara about it. He challenges her to a match next show where he will find a way to become Global champion. Ciara didn't back down as she accepts the challenge as she wouldn't ever back down from one. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• |
