A 70/30 response for these guys. Mostly positive.
BRADY ROSSEN
The current, reigning and defending Heritage Tag Team Champions! "DYNAMITE" DAVID TROY and th--
Markham coughs.
BRADY ROSSEN
Sorry... and the SELF-PROCLAIMED "MR. HERITAGE" BAM MARKHAM!
Markham raises both of his belts high, Troy simply hands his off to Xavier Price who then takes Markham's and quickly shows the challengers what they're fighting for before raising the belts so the crowd can see.
BRADY ROSSEN
Your referee for this bout is Xavier Price!
Price gets some positive response, mostly in the form of "WOW DUDES!" from the Minnesota crowd. He hands the belts to Rossen after he exits the ring, who then places them on the table at ringside before taking a seat. Irvine clearly wants to start against Markham, but Seville shakes his head and tells the General that he's got this. Irvine smirks and exits.
SAM HEWITT
So Markham and Seville are the ones to start things out despite Irvine clearly wanting a piece of the Heritage Heavyweight Champion.
BRIAN SHELZI
All about pride, Sammy. Markham's out here puffing his chest out saying he's the new sheriff in town, which clearly Irvine takes exception to. Well, one of these two men isn't going to be happy with tonight's result.
They lock-up and Bam backs his former challenger up into the ropes with relative ease, the referee in charge of this bout, Xavier Price calls for a clean break. Markham slowly raises his hands and then smiles before backing up, Seville puts a bit of hurry in his confident stride - keeping an eye on Mr. Heritage as he does. The two lock-up a second time, Markham knees Seville in the gut to double him over and goes for a massive forearm club to the back but the Cottonmouth grabs the other arm and locks in a hammerlock.
SAM HEWITT
A lot of people get blinded by the treachery of Justin Seville and forget that he's a great technician, but here are those skills on display - he grabs the arm, hammerlocks it and he's got so much torque on it right now that he's got Bam Markham down to a knee.
BRIAN SHELZI
And look closely, Seville's using his bicep to push the wrist up while grasping his hands over the Heritage Champion's shoulder blade. It's going to be hard to throw that left hook if Seville pops Bam's shoulder right out of the socket.
Bam starts to get back onto his feet so Seville uses the leverage he has to push him toward the WALL corner and Alexander Irvine reaches over and slaps Seville's shoulder to tag in, the Cottonmouth exits and the Unnatural takes his place. Irvine wrings the arm, pulls it over the top rope and grabs it from between the ropes - using the top rope to enhance the pressure being put on the arm. Price begins to count and Irvine releases at three, Bam slaps the arm a few times to get the feeling proper and steps back up to the plate. The two men circle around...
DAVID TROY TAGS IN!
Irvine shoots him a nasty look, hoping to have got to go toe to toe with Markham, but "Dynamite" has other ideas! He climbs into the ring and goes nose to nose with Irvine, the two trading some barbs until Irvine shoves him and immediately pushes forward on offense by delivering a knee to the gut. Troy gasps for air as Irvine grabs him in a clinch and fires off a few more knees, he then reaches over and Seville slaps his hand. Troy is on his hands and knees as Seville comes in, the North Carolina native stands directly over top of Troy and leaps up - driving his weight down on the lower back! Troy flattens out, but Seville pulls him back up and clamps his legs around Troy, locking in the body scissors. Troy grunts as Seville squeezes his legs, affecting both the back he worked on and the stomach that Irvine was attacking. The veteran from Blackwood, New Jersey manages to get himself twisted around and ends up getting his foot on the ropes. Seville is forced to break the hold and does so at three, but Troy rolls out and that brings Mr. Heritage back into the fray. Markham bee lines for Seville, kicking him in the head as he's getting up. He grabs the Cottonmouth and shoots him into the ropes and on the return, blasts him with a big boot that sends him down just as quickly as he arrived off the ropes.
SAM HEWITT
A big boot to the face! Certainly not quick. but sudden!
Seville careens to the mat and tries to retreat to a neutral corner, the Big Bull from Boulder comes roaring in but catches nothing but turnbuckles! Seville makes the tag to Irvine, who comes in and grabs Markham, locking in an abdominal stretch! Irvine drives some elbows down into the midsection, Seville gets up and adds a couple kicks before the ten count is up - forcing him back to the apron. Markham tries to pull himself closer to the ropes to break the hold and this proves too much for Irvine to hang onto effectively, so he lets go and drives a 12-6 elbow down into the ribs again. Markham drops to all fours and Irvine leaps onto his back, sinking in a choke sleeper! Markham rolls toward the ropes for the quick break.
BRIAN SHELZI
Damn! That's a veteran at work, Sammy. Irvine used the elbows to soften up the stomach, disrupt the breathing some and then went for a choke. A solid choke sleeper, rear naked choke - whatever only takes seconds to put tapping out into a man's mind. I'd say Bam had it enter his mind, but I'm not sure his brain has even wrapped itself around fire yet.
Seville reaches down and Irvine tags him before even releasing the choke, Seville kicks at his opponent's stomach several times before Irvine lets go and gets out of the ring. Seville grabs Markham by his hair and tries to lock in the arm triangle from a standing position. Markham scoops him up...
FALLAWAY SLAM!
The poor Cottonmouth is slung across the ring like he's a hundred pounds lighter than two hundred and twenty seven, Markham crawls toward Troy and makes the tag! Dynamite comes in and tags Seville with a rolling savate kick as he's getting back to his feet. The shot knocks Seville down to the mat, but he immediately starts back to his feet - Troy blasts him with a few kicks to the body as he does. Seville gets sick of this and storms to his feet, he cracks Troy with a kick to the inside of the thigh and spins in place - the rolling elbow mash misses! Troy continues the kick assault, directing his shots at the chest as Seville gets closer to the ropes. Seville falls against them, Troy pulls him out with a clinch and drops him to the mat with a knee to the stomach. Instead of waiting for a ten count, Troy tags in Markham again. The Cottonmouth tries crawling toward Irvine waiting in the corner, but Markham yanks him to his feet and nails a few clubbing blows while keeping hold of his former challenger, then executes a body slam. He covers!

3-NO! FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Irvine withdraws himself from the ring, ready to pounce just in case. Markham tags in Troy, who comes in and begins putting the boots to Seville as he's trying to get back to a vertical base. Troy leg kicks Seville, knocking him to the mat and then begins sizing him up for the Flashbang. Irvine charges into the ring and clubs Troy from behind, knocking him to his knees. Price orders Irvine back to the apron, telling him his save is gone and then tells Markham to get back also - having half-entered the ring. The Big Bull reluctantly listens as Seville recovers and grabs Dynamite...
EXPLODER SUPLEX!
The groggy Seville doesn't follow up, opting instead to roll toward his corner where he tags in Irvine. The Unnatural comes in, nearly trippiong over the middle rope as he does. This momentarily lapse gives Troy a chance to spring to his feet, he tries to kick Irvine but it gets caught. The General of the WALL nails Dynamite with a forearm, staggering him back into the corner. Irvine runs in, looking for the flying knee strike but Troy ducks out of harm's way and rushes to the ropes, springs off...
RUNNING HIGH KICK IN THE CORNER!
Troy falls to the mat and rolls out, bringing in Bam Markham. The Heritage Champion roars in like a runaway locomotive, squishing Irvine between him and the turnbuckles. Markham pushes him back into the corner and walks to the other corner to do it again. Bam sprints in...
IRVINE WITH THE BATTLE CRY! RUNNING FOREARM SMASH!
The crowd goes nuts! The replay shows Irvine soaring through the air, cracking a full speed Markham head on. Markham lays motionless on the mat, Irvine also. Price begins his ten count on both men, but as soon as it begins - Irvine starts stirring. He crawls to the ropes, using them to hoist him up. Troy reaches in, grabs Markham and tries to shake him back to reality. The count reaches seven, Troy is trying to tell Markham to roll outside.
EIGHT!
Troy grabs his partner's hair and attire and begins rolling him.
NINE!
Troy gets him to the apron and with one last heave, has both of his feet touch the floor just as he hops inside the ring to break the count. Irvine tries to catch Troy coming in, but he ducks it and rebounds off the ropes.
SEVILLE SUPERKICKS HIM!
BRIAN SHELZI
Watch out for his head! I don't know where it went!
David Troy hits the ropes and falls on all fours, Seville grabs him...
PILEDRIVER!

Irvine raises his arms and Seville rolls off, his usual stone face replaced with a sly smile as Price hands the tag belts to the each of them.
SAM HEWITT
The tag titles change hands again! Back into the possession of the WALL!
BRIAN SHELZI
And all those cracks that were spoken of, I think the talk of their demise was a bit premature because they went 2-0 tonight. They lost a member, I guess...? but they gained back their championship gold.
Carl Whitaker slides into the ring and raises his teammates' arms. They exchange fist bumps, then Troy getting up catches the eye of Whitaker who alerts Seville and Irvine. They all nod as Irvine puts his belt down and backs up into the corner and hoists himself onto the second rope. Whitaker and Seville each grab Troy from opposite sides and get ready to lift when Irvine alerts them to the arrival of...
MUSHIGIHARA!
The big Japanese man storms down the aisle. Whitaker and Seville get ready to fight...
MARKHAM THROWS IRVINE DOWN OFF THE ROPES!
Irvine's thud catches their attention as MUSHIGIHARA reaches ringside. Whitaker tries to attack Markham, but he drops off the apron. Troy blasts Seville with the Blazing Star Strike and rolls out of the ring, leaving Whitaker in there. Ol' Stonehands' willingness to fight doesn't drop much, but even he doesn't have a death wish like this. He attends to his fallen teammates as Troy and Markham unite with MUSHIGIHARA and promise the WALL they'll get their belts back.
