Episode #39: Inspiration & Revelation: Part II
Marchesa Hall & Theater; Austin, TX
Marchesa Hall & Theater; Austin, TX
---We open w/ Jay Lethal vs Andy Dalton w/ Dark Menace. Menace is active early on, distracting the referee & allowing Dalton to take shortcuts. Dalton hits an Impaler DDT but the crowd pops for an appearance by Truth Martini! Martini confronts Menace as Dalton starts jawing w/ Martini as well. Martini tosses his 'Book of Truth' to Lethal who hits the LETHAL INJECTION on Dalton to score the pinfall.
---Our next match has turned into an IP tag title match after Dem Boyz won the titles last night. Tonight, they face War Machine in a huge Grudge Match. Hanson/Rowe started strong as the crowd were fully behind Machine. They nearly won the titles w/ WAR MACHINE on Mark but he was able to get a foot draped over the bottom rope in the nick of time. Mark took a beating in the match and finished w/ a 9 pin rating overall.
However, Dem Boyz were able to capitalize on an ill-timed turnbuckle splash by Hanson. DUAL SUPER KICKS sent Rowe crashing to the floor and Mark/Jay were able to hoist Hanson up for the DOOMSDAY DEVICE to retain the tag titles.
---Our second Grudge Match of the evening has been brewing for sometime now as Chris Hero finally faces Marty Scrull in the ring. Chris is a terror early on as he hits consecutive ROLLING ELBOW SMASHES that bust Scrull open. The Villain seems shocked at the sight of his own blood as Hero moves in for the kill. The match goes to the outside where Marty is able to turn the tide by jabbing Hero w/ his umbrella. The referee admonishes Scrull and takes the umbrella away. However, Marty uses the distraction to ram Chris into the ringpost shoulder first.
From there, Marty kept control and kept applying the CROSSFACE CHICKEN WING for near submissions. Marty cranked the hold so much that Hero's arm was practically useless for the remainder of the match. Finally, Marty is able to transition to the CATTLE MUTILATION to get the submission win over his nemesis.
---Vanessa Kraven was able to get by Barbi Hayden w/ the SITOUT POWERBOMB to retain the IP XX title in her V1 defense. Cheerleader Melissa was in the front row for the show which Kraven took offense to. The two jaw at each other before Vanessa holds up her title, mocking Melissa.
---Our Main Event featured a Battleground Cage Match between the Bullet Club (Chris Sabin, Silas Young, & the Young Bucks) versus Lance Hoyt, Rhino, Paul London, Brian Kendrick. The rules were simple; get pinned or submit & you are eliminated from the match. The match continues until all members of one team are eliminated.
The referee had his work cut out for him as eight guys inside a steel cage was a train wreck!! The first elimination came as a huge surprise as the Young Bucks went for double Super Kicks. However, Rhino hit a double GORE!! and pinned Nick Jackson.
Then, Silas Young went all ballbuster on both Paul London & Brian Kendrick as first, he hit London w/ Last Real Man Lariat to get the pinfall. Then, he hit Kendrick w/ another LRM Lariat before eliminating Kendrick w/ the PEE GEE WAJA PLUNGE.
At this point, the heels had a 3-on-2 advantage but it didn't last long as Lance Hoyt hauled Matt Jackson up for a Texas Tower Bomb followed by DARK DAYS to even the odds.
It became 2-on-1 for the technicos as Rhino GORES! Silas Young before Hoyt hauls Young up for a F'N Slam to eliminate Silas.
At this point, Eamon Patton came down to ringside and entered the cage; cheering on the technicos & imploring them to make an example of Chris Sabin. The IP announcer was still angry at being painted up as a clown by the Bullet Club. Hoyt/Rhino high-fived Patton before Patton low-blowed Rhino, leading to Sabin hitting CRADLE SHOCK to eliminate Rhino.
Lance Hoyt grabs Eamon Patton and haul him up for DARK DAYS but get blasted from behind by Sabin w/ a pair of brass knux. It's academic as Sabin hits another CRADLE SHOCK to eliminate Hoyt and win the match.
Sabin and Patton soak in the jeers from the crowd as Patton takes off his blazer to reveal a Bullet Club t-shirt as we close the show.
