7/7/2016 - Mane Event

We return from break and the match has already begun, Holly Holbrook eats a spin kick from Jin Hirai who then hits the ropes and drops in front of her to strike her with a throat thrust! Hirai gets up and begins dancing, while Jimmy Winner yells at him from the apron to focus on the match! Hirai does a quick little break dance move and gets up, only to be kneed in the gut by Holbrook! Holly nails the Holly Spirit, her variation of the Shiranui and crawls toward D. Vine while Hirai drags himself over to Jimmy Winner!

BASTIAN KRULL: Simultaneous tags! Here we go! Lexxi and Winner in the match for the first time!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: You neglect the fact that Holbrook offered D. Vine a chance to be in this match, but lil' Miss Priss didn't want anything to do with Jin Hirai and his dirty dreadlocks!

BASTIAN KRULL: I'm surprised she's getting in there with Winner to be honest.

Winner eggs her on and Lexxi charges, but winds up in a sleeper hold! She wriggles free and is extremely grossed out to be covered in baby oil! She flicks it in Winner's face and he doubles over, clutching his eyes.  She grabs him and slings him into Jin Hirai in the corner! Winner shoulder thrusts his partner inadvertently and D. Vine has a golden opportunity to school girl him! Holly Holbrook is jumping up and down on the apron yelling at her to do it and D. Vine gives her the single most incredulous look that you have ever seen!

LEXXI D. VINE: I. AM. NOT! NO! NO WAY!

Hirai shoves Winner away from him and into D. Vine, who collides with Holbrook - the two girls literally butt heads - and Holbrook falls to the floor.  D. Vine screams and turns around, she floats over Winner and Shining Wizard err.. 2 Cool for Skool's Hirai! He falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring.  With Winner still doubled over, D. Vine nails her Superstar Kick - the running punt - and kicks him in the side of the head! He topples to the ground and the H8rmin8r (Curb Stomp) is what awaits him! She covers!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: It's always an adventure from Point A to Point B for Lexxi D. Vine and Holly Holbrook, but somehow they get there!

BASTIAN KRULL: They're really going to be put to the test next week at Between Two Worlds because not only are they battling Hammerstein and Anna Matthews, but the third team, a wildcard tandem in Bitch TV will also be competing for those vacant Heritage tag team titles.  It's gonna be a wild Triangle Survival for sure!

D. Vine rolls out of the ring and asks Holly Holbrook where she was! Holbrook tries to remind D. Vine that she headbutted her off the apron, but Lexxi puts her hand in Holly's face and stomps off.  Holbrook shrugs and continues rubbing her hand in pain as we head to commercial.

- COMMERCIAL BREAK -

BASTIAN KRULL: And we are back! This next bout is a return match from last week, Corey Cruelty defeated Hammerstein fairly clean - he had to drop Hammerstein throat first across the middle rope to finally hit his piledriver but won out in the end.  Hammerstein has been training under the tutelage of one, Tiger Mask Red and as part of the training, is trying to avenge any losses that come his way.  So, that brings us to this match...

DARKNESS COATS US!

The crowd groans and begins booing as the lights dim, then lightning effects dart across the venue as the jagged vocals of Avenged Sevenfold's "Darkness Surrounding" echoes.  After a few moments, a sombre figure emerges from the lion's mouth with his head bowed low.  Corey Cruelty poses at the entrance, arms forming an X over his crotch before he slowly makes his way to the ring. 

JAKE AARONS: Introducing first from Duluth, Minnesota! He weighs in at two hundred and ten pounds! COREY CRUELTY!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Corey rocking a new theme song here tonight.  Not sure what the cause for change is, he hasn't lost a bout yet. 

As the opening strains of “Violent and Funky” by Infectious Grooves plays, the graphic ‘Straight Outta Whynot’ appears on the POLLOVISION. Smoke/fog begins to bellow from the nose of the lion.  Hammerstein bounds through the smoke and falls to a knee, he raises his index fingers to the crowd and then begins coughing, waving the smoke away before getting up and jogging to the ring. 

BASTIAN KRULL: As I said, Hammerstein has been training with Tiger Mask Red - which is guess is where the index fingers came from, but Tiger's weren't his index fingers...

JAKE AARONS: His opponent! From Whynot, Mississippi! He weighs in at two hundred and sixty seven pounds! HAMMERSTEIN!

He slows down on the entrance runway, then baseball slides under the bottom rope - almost Enzo'ing himself in the process - but gets up and raises his index fingers once again.  He doesn't seem too sure why Cruelty isn't reacting to him giving him double index fingers and Cruelty is about as equally dumbfounded.  Referee Burly Jones calls for the bell and the two men lock-up, a quick go behind by Hammerstein and he takes his opponent to the mat with an awkward looking take down.  He floats over and drops a quick knee across the back of Cruelty's head, then hits the ropes looking for his senton but no one is home! Cruelty gets up, rushing a running knee into Hammerstein before he's even on his feet and backs him into the corner.  Cruelty begins unloading punches on the Hammer, then knees him again! He drags him out and tries for Oblivion, but Hammerstein backdrops him into the corner! Hammer falls to his knees, but turns around to see Cruelty is stuck in the tree of woe!

BASTIAN KRULL: Mandy, I can't be alone in thinking that Corey Cruelty is going to the well one too many times with his piledriver attempts.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: No, you're not.  He's inexperienced, but he knows a piledriver is as good as an instakill-type move you're going to find in professional wrestling.  It's devasting when you hit it, but your opponent is going to do everything he can to avoid it if he's got enough wits about him.

Hammerstein crashes into Cruelty in the corner with his cannonball! Cruelty's one leg comes free from the tree of woe, and Burly Jones unhooks the other allowing the scene kid to fall into the shrub of misfortune.  Hammer pulls him into the middle of the ring and covers!

2-KICKOUT!

Hammerstein gets up and tries for his Kamala Splash, but Cruelty wisely rolls out of the ring and begins rummaging under the ring.  He pulls out a wooden board with various objects on it - a fire extinguiser, a wrench, various other tools - clearly a ring crew's equipment.  Burly Jones gets out of the ring and yells at him to get back in, and Cruelty snarls back at him before climbing back inside.  Hammerstein tries to greet him on the apron, but Cruelty rakes his eyes and then grabs his head, leaps over the ropes and facebusters Hammerstein to the mat! Cruelty backs up as Hammerstein gets to his knees and tries for a Yakuza kick, but Hammerstein comes alive with a clothesline! Cruelty goes down, but pops back up... KNIFE EDGE CHOP! Cruelty is reeling! Hammerstein goes left, right, left, right, left with punches and then arm drags him to the mat! He immediately splashes him and hooks the leg!

KICKOUT!

BASTIAN KRULL: Hammerstein looks uncharacteristically frustrated right now.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: He's been on a bad streak, he recently dropped the fall in a tag match to Divine and Holy, he lost to Corey Cruelty last week.  He's gotta be frustrated!

BASTIAN KRULL: Not to mention the kind of training Tiger Mask Red must be putting him through.

Hammerstein argues with Jones, and gets school boy'd!

2...

KICKOUT!

Cruelty gets up and begins levelling him with forearm shots, then elbow shots, driving him back into the corner.  Cruelty caps it off with a headbutt, then pulls him in for the Oblivion once more.  Cruelty almost gets him up this time, but Hammerstein fights out of it and drops Cruelty on his back! Hammerstein begins digging into his pocket...

BASTIAN KRULL: He's taking a really long time to be looking for cha--OH NO!

Hammerstein's shorts are suddenly on fire! He screams like a girl and runs around the ring!  The fans begin a chant of STOP! DROP! ROLL! but Hammerstein is seemingly oblivious! Stage hands rush with extinguishers, but it's Corey Cruelty - who has rolled out of the ring in this commotion - that picks up the extinguisher and slides inside. He empties the entire thing on Hammerstein.  When the smoke finally clears, Hammerstein stands there looking shell shocked, Cruelty tosses the extinguisher aside and kicks Hammerstein in the gut! He pulls him in for the piledriver, but finally Hammerstein stops, drops and rolls out of the ring.  He walks straight to the back, almost expressionless as Burly Jones counts him out.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: It seems that Tiger Mask Red may not have taught him the art of the fireball yet!

BASTIAN KRULL: Look at his face, Mandy! What do you read from that?

MANDEVILLE NELSON: He was almost a human torch, Bastian! What do you think he'd being reacting like?

BASTIAN KRULL: Corey Cruelty picks up his second win in as many weeks over the Hammer, but shows off a kindler, gentler side by putting out the fire, only to try and nail his piledriver again.  Confusing fellow that one.  Anyway, we've got to take a commercial break after all that but we've got lots more to come!

- COMMERCIAL BREAK -

Wolf stands inside the ring as "Gangsters Paradise" by Coolio begins to play throughout the arena. The lights abruptly turn off all at once as the music continues to play. Seemingly hundreds of camera flashes begin lighting up the darkened arena then suddenly the lion's mouth roars open and Robb Daniels walks out onto the stage with the fans in attendance rising to their feet.  The King of the Lions Champion holds his belt high and then then refastens it around his waist before walking down to the ring. 

JAKE AARONS: Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is set to be fought to one fall with a fifteen minute time limit! Introducing first already in the ring from the Northwest Territories! He weighs in at two hundred and fifty seven pounds.... WOLF! His opponent from Knoxville, Tennessee! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty five pounds... THE KING OF THE LIONS CHAMPION, ROBB DANIELS!

A serious look adorns his face as he gets to the ring apron, wiping his boots before stepping through.  Daniels circles the ring removing his robe and sunglasses and handing putting them under the bottom turnbuckle in his corner. The bell sounds and Daniels starts toward Wolf, but backs off out of the lock-up attempt and swaggers back to his corner.  He asks to see his title belt again, and a stage hand gives it to him.  Daniels turns back around, holding the title belt up and tells Wolf, "this is the difference between me and you, chump!" and then calls the stage hand to take the belt back.  Daniels turns around again...

BASTIAN KRULL: WOLF HAMMER!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: OH MY! HE CAUGHT THE CHAMPION COMPLETELY OFF GUARD!

The double axe handle smash connects with Daniels' face and the champion goes down in a hurry! Wolf dives on top!

FOOT ON THE ROPE!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: OH! MY! GOD!

BASTIAN KRULL: That was too close!

The fans go nuts, then deflate just as quickly when they realized Robb Daniels got his foot on the rope.  Wolf's reaction isn't too much different, he asks Xavier Price a second time and gets the same answer as the first.  Daniels rolls out of the ring to the floor, holding his face... but stands up straight long enough to smirk at Wolf and point to his head, telling Wolf "that's why I'm the World Champ, and you're a gatekeeper!".  Wolf gets angered by this and dives out after Daniels, who slides back into the ring and stomps away on Wolf as he tries to follow him back inside.  Daniels pulls Wolf to his feet and applies an arm wringer and reels the Canadian into a European uppercut! Wolf staggers back, and Daniels taunts a fan... allowing Wolf to charge forward, but the champ spinebusters him to the mat! Daniels begins sizing up Wolf for the Picture Perfect Stunner, and Wolf gets to his feet...

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Here comes the snapshot! Picture Pe--no!

Wolf shoves Daniels forward and nails his spinning back suplex! Full Moon Fever! He covers!

FOOT ON THE ROPE AGAIN!

Wolf is livid!

BASTIAN KRULL: The in-ring presence and awareness of Robb Daniels is absolutely incredible!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: He's not King of the Lions Champion based on luck, Bastian! He earned the title!

Wolf angrily snatches Daniels up off the mat and brings him to his feet.  He tries once again for the Full Moon Fever, but Daniels turns it into the Stunner! The crowd pops as the move is hit out of desperation! Daniels climbs on top of Wolf!

The fans are standing on there feet booing and being very active in the stands while "Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio continues playing. Daniels is smiling from ear to ear celebrating his win. He makes his way over to the corner holding the King of Lions Championship in his right hand.  Lauren Parker-Daniels leads Chad Gomez down to the ring, and the two climb in. 

CHAD GOMEZ: Another win for the King of Lions Champion... Robb Daniels!

ROBB DANIELS: Thanks...

The crowd boos as Daniels throws the KOL Championship over his shoulder and his wife places her hands on his back and smiles.

ROBB DANIELS: Now I've been the King of Lions Champion for a month now. Each and every week it's been something different put in my path. I welcome the challenge to prove that I am the very best in that ring and that I deserve to be champion.

CHAD GOMEZ: Next week you will defend the KOL Championship against Julian Cutlass the former King of Lions Champion from many years ago. What are your thoughts going into next week?

ROBB DANIELS: Julian Cutlass is a good wrestler but I'm better. I don't take handouts from anybody...not from Jon Davenport, not Matt Pulver and definitely not Julian Cutlass. I haven't seen or heard anything from him in a very long time. So I'm not sure why he feels the need to hand deliver a first generation championship to me that he promise stole when the company folded ten years ago.


ROBB DANIELS: If you think that I'm an egomaniac then you've never met Julian Cutlass. It doesn't matter how you feel about me...I don't need these people to cheer me or buy my t-shirts. What does matter is that this championship title that I'm holding...it's the real King of Lions Championship! I'm the real champion and it's not a matter of title versus title it's just a matter of one week before I beat Cutlass and retain my championship.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Many fans thought Robb Daniels should have accepted the title from Julian Cutlass and been thankful for the gesture.

BASTIAN KRULL: That's not his style, though.  It never has been. 

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Very true, but now he must contend with Julian Cutlass as his first challenger to the title that is wrapped around his waist.  Cutlass has not wrestled a singles match in quite some time so ring rust is expecte--

BASTIAN KRULL: Yes, but Julian Cutlass is the type of man who never stops training - he studies, he learns, he educates himself.  I wouldn't count him out at all!

Robb Daniels barely slumping over at the microphone stands up straight raising the KOL Championship up and over his head.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: There you have it folks... Robb Daniels is the KOL Champion and he'll defend against Julian Cutlass to decide an Undisputed Champion NEXT WEEK!

UP NEXT!
HERITAGE CHAMPION JON DAVENPORT DEFENDS HIS TITLE
AGAINST BEN CHRENSHAW AND LA CUCARACHA IN A TRIANGLE SURVIVAL!

- COMMERCIAL BREAK -

JAKE AARONS: Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is your main event of the evening! It is a Triangle Survival! It is set to be fought to two falls with a twenty minute time limit and is for the Heritage Championship! Introducing challenger number one from London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirteen pounds! BEN CHRENSHAW!

Boos permeate the Pollo Hall as The Smith's "Panic" begins playing and the lion roars its mouth open.  Ben Chrenshaw steps out and begins surveying the crowd, showing indifference to the fans' negative reaction to him.  He casually strolls to the ring before climbing through the ropes and nonchalantly awaits his opponents.

JAKE AARONS: Introducing challenger number two from Toronto, Ontario! She weighs in at one hundred and twenty nine pounds! LA CUCARACHA!

Chingon's "Cuke Rocka" announces the arrival of La Cucaracha, the Canadian Cockroach - which inspires sounds of approval, mild disdain and some slight indifference among the LR faithful.  The lion's mouth opens as it spews purple smoke out of its nostrils.  Cucaracha stumbles out wearing an official La Cucaracha t-shirt over her ring gear along with an off centre antenna headband stuck in her messy brown hair.  She reveals a wet paper sack to the audience, and reaches in and pulls out one of her official La Cucaracha foam hissing cockroaches. She flings one roach into the audience, then another, and then another before finally dropping the sack to the stage. From there, Canada's fourth insect-themed luchadora begins her walk to the ring, occasionally putting her hands together to make a barely recognizable roach outline. Some fans mimic the gesture, others stare in confusion and irritation. At ringside, she removes her antenna headband and places it on the head of the most sickeningly adorable fan she can find. Many fans cheer, while the ones that see through the pandering opt to hold their tongues for fear of appearing cynical. La Cucaracha rolls under the bottom rope and springs to her feet, tearing her t-shirt off and pitching it to the crowd. Sprinting to a far corner and climbing to the second turnbuckle, she once again gives the audience her roach hand signal that no one can seem to duplicate. La Cucaracha points to someone in the crowd, seemingly for no reason, before jumping back to the mat and awaiting the opening bell.

JAKE AARONS: And finally... the champion! From Macon, Georgia! He weighs in tonight at two hundred and forty pounds! The current, reigning and defending Heritage Champion of the World! JON DAVENPORT!

"Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver begins to play and the Heritage Champion, Jon Davenport appears from the lion's mouth and begins to stomp and clap his hands in time with the song to get the crowd fired up! Davenport unfastens his belt when he gets to ringside, turning back toward the entrance stage and raising it high to the roar of the crowd.  Ben Chrenshaw decks the champion from behind, grabbing him as he falls to his knees and chucks him off the runway into the ringside stairs! The fans erupt in a very early HOLY SHIT chant as La Cucaracha rushes out after Chrenshaw.  The two begin trading blows at ringside as medical staff attend to Jon Davenport.  Chrenshaw slams Cucaracha into the ring apron back first and then tries to line her up so that he can clothesline her into the ring post, but Cucaracha ducks it and Chrenshaw lariats the ring post instead! Cucharacha rolls him into the ring and looks briefly at Davenport, before climbing inside the ring herself.  She charges Chrenshaw, who dodges her attack and sends her flying into the corner.  He begins delivering several shoulder thrusts to her midsection before whipping her across the ring! She hits hard in the opposite corner and staggers out... Ben Chrenshaw dropkicks her in the midsection!

BASTIAN KRULL: Ben Chrenshaw looks like a man on a mission here in the early moments.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: I'm watching the medical staff attend to Jon Davenport over here and he appears to be telling them he's OK.

Chrenshaw pulls her up, but Cucaracha begins fighting back with two punches to the stomach, then an elbow. Chrenshaw is wobbled enough that she springs to her feet and bounces off the ropes... Chrenshaw clocks her with a spinning elbow strike! She falls to the mat in a heap and Chrenshaw immediately goes for the Wrinkle in Time submission, his variation of the single leg crab.  He gets her turned over and has it locked in tight! Jon Davenport slides into the ring and goes for a big boot, but Chrenshaw drops Cucharacha, allowing her to roll out of the ring and to the floor. Chrenshaw catches the boot, but Davenport delivers two consecutive big punches forcing Chrenshaw to drop his leg.  Davenport winds up, and decks Chrenshaw a third time sending his challenger flying across the ring!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Jon Davenport enters the match in a big way! The champion just sent Ben Chrenshaw airborne across the ring with that patented wind-up punch of his!

BASTIAN KRULL: Look out though! Here comes La Cucaracha!

La Cucaracha slides back into the ring and hops on Davenport's back, she begins hammering away on the champion's head causing him to fall to a knee! She jumps off his back, then drills him with a high knee! Davenport falls to the mat then crawls over to the corner and pulls himself up, Cucaracha runs in with a forearm and begins putting the boots to him.  She tries to whip him out of the corner, but as expected, Davenport reverses it and sends her in.  Davenport charges in after her, but Cuca gets a knee up and it collides with the champion's skull! Davenport stumbles away and Cucaracha climbs onto the second rope.  She waits for him to turn around, leaps off but gets caught!

BASTIAN KRULL: Jon Davenport caught her!

Davenport body slams her! He backs into the ropes and stomps his foot signalling for the big boot! La Cucaracha gets to her feet and Davenport is prepared to charge, but Chrenshaw grabs his leg from the outside! Davenport turns around and kicks Chrenshaw in the face sending him down to the floor! La Cucaracha dropkicks Davenport in the back, causing him to fall out right after his challenger! Cucaracha contemplates a dive, but decides against it when she sees Davenport is up to a knee already and likely doesn't want to be caught in mid-air on the outside.  Cucaracha instead exits the ring, sliding underneath the bottom rope.  JD charges, and she drop toe holds him into the ring apron! La Cucaracha scurries away before Davenport can recover.  He begins pulling himself up nearly forty seconds later only to get dropkicked back into the apron by Chrenshaw! Chrenshaw climbs back in the ring right after Cucaracha and the two face off! Cucaracha gets slapped by Chrenshaw, and she responds in kind with a bitch slap! Chrenshaw gets staggered, Cucaracha spaztically begins kicking him in the gut and railing him with forearm shots to the head to back him up into the corner.  She whips him into the ropes, sling blades him and goes for the cover!

DAVENPORT PULLS HER OUT!

He grabs the Canadian Cockroach by the throat, pointing a finger in her face and verbally lambasts her before throwing her down to the ground.  He climbs up into the ring and is halfway between the ropes when Cucaracha grabs his leg, he tries to kick her off but she's hanging on for dear life! Ben Chrenshaw rushes up, leg drops Davenport! Cucaracha lets go, causing Davenport to slump into the ring! Chrenshaw grabs his legs and pulls him into the centre of the ring, then grabs his right leg and begins turning him over.  Chrenshaw gets him in fantastic position and has the hold fully applied, Cucaracha slides into the ring and raises her hands in innocence as Chrenshaw anticipates her attack.  She rushes around, grabs Davenport's head and flips over into a bridge.  With the double submission applied, Davenport has absolutely nowhere to go! Referee Cordell Garner is in great position and asks Davenport if he wants to submit, but the champion is stubborn! He's fighting it! Chrenshaw fixes his grip on the hold, and Davenport's arm goes up in the air... HE TAPS!

BASTIAN KRULL: Davenport taps! Davenport taps! We're going to have a new champion!

Chrenshaw lets go, and then Cucaracha lets go.  Chrenshaw immediately grabs her leg and tries to flip her over for the Wrinkle in Time, but she kicks him off! He hits the ropes and comes roaring back looking for a lariat as Cuca gets to her feet, but she ducks it and nails the Bug Zapper!  The Lungblower connects and she leaps on top of him!

KICKOUT!

Cucaracha argues the count, but Garner insists it was a two! She grabs Chrenshaw up and tosses him back into the corner then charges up, leaping onto the second rope, then the third and using that momentum to Racha Rana her opponent across the ring! Chrenshaw lands on his stomach, doing a full flip from the ferocity of the move and then crawls into the corner.  Cucaracha takes a moment to stick her head through the ropes and mouth off Davenport as he's leaving, Garner tries to pull her back into the ring and this minute distraction allows Chrenshaw to undo the second turnbuckle pad.  Cucaracha finishes her verbal blast and calls for a cannonball, she goes in full speed and Chrenshaw dives out of the way! She lands full bore on the exposed steel and writhes in pain on the mat! Chrenshaw stomps her back a couple extra times before grabbing both legs and turning her over in a Boston crab! La Cucaracha cries out in pain as she reaches for the bottom rope... but Chrenshaw drops a leg and pulls her away, driving his knee into the back of her neck and just wrenches back.  Cucaracha screams from the pain and referee Cordell Garner calls for the bell!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Wha?

BASTIAN KRULL: Verbal submission, Mandy! It doesn't have to be an exact admission of defeat, but when a fighter screams in pain - it's taken as a sign of submission.  Granted, I know Cucaracha had her arm in the air reaching for the ropes but the rules are the rules.  She screamed!

Chrenshaw gets up and is handed the Heritage Championship, clutching it in his grasp.  He smiles as he falls to the mat hugging it, La Cucaracha is cursing out referee Cordell Garner in between cursing out medical staff trying to ice her back. 

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Well fans, a week out from Between Two Worlds and we have crowned a new Heritage Champion.  I'm not sure what will be in store for these two on July 14th, but hopefully we don't have to wait too long to find out!

Cucaracha tries to get up and give chase to Chrenshaw after he shoves the title in her face and laughs before taking off, but the medical staff force to the mat and continue to attend to what is now a huge bruise on her back as the show fades to black.
