OOWF Saturday Slam – April 22, 2023
OOWF Arena – Asheville, North Carolina
OOWF Intercontinental Championship four-way elimination matches
• Match 1: Justin Sane vs. Sandra Fallon vs. Jeff Mangyuniku vs. Awesome Bill From Dawsonville
The match begins as Mel Creech signals for the bell with Banned From Everywhere standing back to back as Sandra and Jeff form a proxy union for the time being. Awesome Bill and Jeff pair off slugging away at each other while Justin and Sandra begin an odd chain-wrestling sequence that sees Sandra clearly get the better of Justin, despite Justin’s denials that he pulled Sandra’s hair for leverage. Sandra never protested, nor did Mel inquire. A crushing lariat from Awesome Bill sends Jeff to the outside with Awesome Bill following as neither man is getting too far ahead. Inside the ring, Justin tries to schoolboy Sandra, getting 1 before the rookie replies with a powerful kickout and a scoop slam. Sandra stomps away at Justin’s back as Awesome Bill rolls into the ring and saves his partner from further stomping. As Sandra and Awesome Bill size each other up, Jeff sneaks in and tries to cover a still-downed Justin, getting 2 before Awesome Bill breaks up the attempt. As Awesome Bill tries to help his partner to his feet, Justin snares him in a small package with Sandra and Jeff jumping on the pile as Creech counts off 3.
Awesome Bill from Dawsonville has been eliminated (pinfall, 3:20).
Awesome Bill snaps to his feet wondering what happened when Justin smiles at him. Awesome Bill, while somewhat annoyed, nods in respect to Justin’s quick thinking and pats him on the shoulder before departing without incident. Justin – still in celebration mode – is drilled by a thrust kick from Jeff that gets 2.5. Sandra pulls Jeff off of the cover and drills him in the head with a heel kick to the jaw. Sandra then places both opponents in opposite corners, hitting a running boot to Jeff and then Justin as Jeff lay on the mat. Sandra tries to cover Justin, getting 2.5, and then Jeff for 2 as Justin lunges over to break up the count.
RUSS: “Not sure I get the strategy there. Justin Sane breaking up a count that would have made his night easier with one less opponent in the ring.”
RAZZ: “Strategy and Justin Sane are rarely used in the same book, let alone the same sentence. It’s best to just nod your head and let him learn from his mistakes.”
While on their knees, Justin and Sandra begin slugging away at each other with Jeff coming to and joining the fray. All three are welcoming of the increasing roar from the crowd as Jeff surges to his feet and begins hammering away on both opponents. Jeff hits the ropes and drills Justin with a running knee before Sandra connects with an exploder suplex on Jeff that gets 2. Jeff, now a bit woozy, ducks Justin’s crossbody attempt that sends Justin crashing to the outside barricade in a heap. Sandra tries to link Jeff up in a crucifix pin attempt, but gets dropped unceremoniously before Jeff helps Sandra to her feet, grabs an arm and delivers Kaze Ni Nare. Sandra is out for well beyond the 3 that Creech issues.
Sandra Fallon has been eliminated (pinfall, 8:24).
With the crowd firmly behind Jeff, he rolls to the outside to get Justin back into the ring. Justin clings to the bottom rope until Creech steps in to demand a rope break, despite the no-disqualification rules of this match. Justin reluctantly rolls in only for Jeff to try to wrap him up in a pinning combination. The two roll around on the mat until Jeff grabs Justin and powers his way to a standing position, with Justin in hand, and spikes him down with a Mangyuniku Driver that gets 2.75. Jeff stays on the offensive, using a Blue Thunder Bomb that also gets 2.75 and a look of disbelief from Jeff, who then peppers Justin with a set of kicks to the chest until Justin pops up and stops Jeff’s momentum with a high-risk headlock that carries both men to the outside and all the way to the top of the ramp. Justin misses a blind charge and goes hard into the video wall, giving Jeff the chance to shake the cobwebs and slowly bring Justin back to the ring. Justin breaks Jeff’s grip and posts Jeff, living him writhing on the mat as Justin gets a familiar look in his eye. Realizing what’s about to happen, Jeff scrambles underneath the ring as Justin unleashes a DOUUUUUGGGGHHHHAAAAAAAAWWWWWKKKKKK!
The lights go out as various sound effects from classic Super Mario Bros. games are heard, including a loop of 1Up mushroom noises before Justin’s most recent attempt at karaoke is shown on the video wall. The lights come back on with Justin dressed as Elvis Presley and Jeff nowhere to be found. Justin and Creech look around before Jeff, sporting a cape and black mask over his eyes, swoops in from above and delivers a brutal guitar shot to Justin, getting an academic 3 in the process.
Your winner and the first combatant for the OOWF Intercontinental Championship (pinfall, 11:30), Jeff Mangyuniku!
Afterward, Jeff – having doffed the mask and cape – checks on Justin, who keeps talking about a mysterious man with a guitar. Jeff denies any knowledge of the “El Jeff” that fans are now chasing for as Creech, who saw the whole thing, shrugs and raises Jeff’s hand.
Match 2: Bridget O’Malley vs. Diego “Pop” Roxton vs. Angie Delpetro vs. Nuke
Gavin “Junior” Hale inspects all four combatants before asking for the bell with Nuke dropping to the outside, much to the dismay of fans in attendance. Angie, still suffering the effects of her loss to Katie Bardoor, tries to limp away from Diego while Bridget cuts Angie off with a urinage. Angie barely kicks out as Nuke slides in to sneak in a few shots on Diego, only to have that go very badly. Bridget joins the beatdown as Nuke pinballs between the two, eating an elbow from Diego that almost turns Nuke’s lights out. Diego reaches down to pick Nuke up, but is halted by Nuke’s testicular claw that almost gets a submission before Bridget breaks up the hold, if you can call it that. While Bridget and Nuke are occupied with each other, Angie tries to sneak in a rear naked choke on Diego, but can’t get it fully locked in before the Bahamian rolls free and kips up. Angie dropkicks Diego’s leg and then follows with a Shining Wizard attempt that is ducked with plenty of time to spare by Diego.
RUSS: “I’m not sure that she could have telegraphed it any more if Angie would have sent Diego a text message to tell him it was coming.”
RAZZ: “But that’s the kind of risk she’s willing to take. She knows she’s scouted and she stays within her game.”
Diego, now in control, corners Angie and begins to clap along with the fans between strikes, establishing a rhythm with a big smile on his face. Nuke, having posted Bridget, waylays Diego with a running Give ‘Em the Boot, sneaking a flash pin with his feet very much on the ropes and held on by both Angie and Annie.
Diego “Pop” Roxton has been eliminated (pinfall, 4:51).
Nuke and Angie nod at each other, seemingly forming a temporary union as they descend to the outside and start working Bridget over. Nuke slams Bridget onto the apron as Angie waits with an elbow drop. Nuke and Angie roll Bridget inside and both try to pin her, but she kicks out at 1 as neither did much to put weight across her shoulders. Bridget gets to her feet and ducks a clothesline try by Nuke and catches a charging Angie, hitting a belly-to-belly suplex that gets 2, only because Nuke dashed in to make the save. Bridget, without an in-ring ally, starts to fluster the two rookies with hit-and-run strikes, getting plenty of offense in on Nuke and Angie while coming away from the exchanges relatively unscathed. Nuke does get in a kidney punch to Bridget’s side, halting her almost immediately as Hale steps in to check on the downed wrestler.
RAZZ: “Nuke is a dirt-cheap fighter and I kind of respect that about him. He’ll do what it takes to win and for a young kid like he is, that might be the difference between getting the big matches and spending Saturdays in catering.”
Nuke tries to get past Hale to inflict more punishment to Bridget, but is unsuccessful as Hale questions if Bridget can keep going, only getting affirmative responses from the Pennsylvanian. With Hale distracted, Angie tempts fate by taking out her trusty chloroform rag with Nuke in her sights. Angie is stopped by Annie, who hops on the apron and grabs her arm. As the two women argue, Nuke connects with a second Give ‘Em the Boot, covering Angie and getting an eventual 3 from Hale, who deemed that Bridget was able to continue while the commotion was going on behind his back.
Angie Delpetro has been eliminated (10:10).
Nuke tries to catch Bridget off guard with another Give ‘Em the Boot, but the veteran sidesteps the charge and lets Nuke crash chest-first into the corner. Bridget then grabs a waistlock and flips that to a Bridget to Nowhere German suplex that gets 2. Nuke slides away to take a powder, with Bridget following. As Bridget gives chase to Nuke as he tries to slide away on the floor, Angie jumps on Bridget’s back to distract her long enough so Nuke could pull out a set of brass knuckles and plant a right hand firmly on Bridget’s jaw. Bridget crumbles to the floor as Nuke and Angie try to roll the deadweight fighter inside. Nuke tries to pin Bridget, but she manages to get a shoulder up at 2.9. Nuke sets Bridget up in a corner, looking to finish off a third opponent with Give ‘Em the Boot, but is met with a discus forearm from Bridget, who then fires off an O’Mallet that gets 2. Bridget, still fighting the daze from the brass knuckles shot, takes off her elbow pad while seemingly calling for Red Death. With Nuke groggily getting to a standing position, Bridget tries to bounce off of the ropes, only for Annie to pull the top rope down and send Bridget to the outside. While Annie claims innocence and this is all no-disqualification, Hale exercises his right to eject Annie from ringside, having caught the whole thing. Annie protests. Nuke profanely protests. Hale doesn’t care. Annie slowly walks to the back while Bridget slowly crawls back inside with Nuke viciously stomping away at his weakened foe. While this is happening, a tall figure dressed in a yellow hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, jeans and black Converse All-Stars runs into the ring only to get promptly swarmed on and tackled by security. As the figure is taken away, Bridget pops up and drills Nuke with a Red Death elbow, getting 3 from Hale.
Your winner and the second combatant for the OOWF Intercontinental Championship (pinfall, 14:39), Bridget O’Malley!
Afterward, Nuke kicks the bottom rope and swears that the faceless figure was Mac Flasher. Bridget, seeing a replay of the chaos on the OOWFTron is now furious at the idea of Mac assisting her in any way, but she’s also not going to give up her spot in two weeks as Jeff Mangyuniku walks out to congratulate her on the victory. Nuke, now joined by his barricade-jumping father Adam Jennings, is still berating Hale as the feed cuts away to an advertisement for “OOWF Ghost Stories with Josie,” a new show on OOWF.tv Kids, also free for $6.66 per month.
OOWF Rookie Showcase battle royal
• Rory Thomas, PORK, Sean Franklin, Ona Jones, Pete Quick, The Woodsmen (Hunter and Dakota), The Electric Company (Joe and Jamie), The One-Notes (Carrie and Harper) and The Battling Baristas (Brynn and Tara)
The 12 non-PORK combatants eye up the largest wrestler in the ring, quickly converging on him with a 12-on-1 assault to try to get him over the top rope. PORK humors the attempt for a few seconds before bursting through the collected pile of humanity with a roar and almost feral aggression, sending Pete, Brynn and Hunter to the outside with relative ease. Everyone else backs off as PORK encourages anyone to try him. Ona tries her hand, actually locking PORK into a victory roll, but that’s not going to work here as PORK rolls through and casually disposes of Ona.
RUSS: “Coming into this battle royal, PORK was the odds-on favorite to win, but even wouldn’t have guessed that he’d have the first four eliminations by himself.”
RAZZ: “Partner, you’re looking at a man who has the experience and tools to succeed in OOWF. Now he has a mentor who has done it all. If I’m the eventual OOWF World Champion, I gotta be looking over my shoulder for this guy.”
Tara and Rory pair off, battling for leverage along the ropes before Hunter dumps both wrestlers over. Sean Franklin then tries to get Hunter over the top, but is halted by both members of The Electric Company, who hit a pair of slick double-team moves on the former collegiate grappler. With Sean woozy, Joe tries to clothesline him out, catching only air and the outside mat. Jamie charges Sean next and gets backdropped onto Joe, leaving Hunter, Sean, both of The One-Notes and PORK. Hunter tries to form a unit with Sean and PORK, which the veteran is receptive toward. Sean gives Hunter a wanking motion and a shot to the jaw, as Carrie and Harper sit back and watch the others scrap. Sean and Hunter exchange fierce rights as Sean does try to grapple Hunter over the top, getting him onto the apron before before PORK hits both men with the Bacon Bounce (Pounce), driving Hunter to the outside and crushing Sean against the ropes, making him easy pickings for PORK to toss him. The One-Notes, who have barely done anything since the opening assault on PORK, stand alone with PORK with the crowd firmly behind the charismatic big man. Carrie tries her hand at PORK first, getting a Porcine Elbow and a flip, flop and fly right hand for her troubles. Harper clips PORK’s knee as The One-Notes begin to seize control. The wannabe crooners hammer away at PORK, working over his back and legs while the fans are borderline riotous in their support for the veteran. As the duo stands PORK up, Carrie tries to hold his arms as Harper fires a right hand that misses the ducking PORK and puts Carrie to sleep. PORK grabs Harper by her hair and sends her over the top rope and on her feet. Carrie, still out, is gently lifted by PORK and tossed into the unexpectedly open arms of Harper, knocking her over to meet the requirement of Carrie’s feet hitting the floor.
Your winner (elimination of Carrie, 8:26), PORK!
PORK drops to his knees and soaks in the moment as OOWF fans sing-song adorations to the big man.
RUSS: “As dominant an effort that you’ll ever see in a battle royal. PORK just mowed through almost everyone, hardly breaking a sweat in the process.”
RAZZ: “PORK was a man on a mission tonight. If I see that I’m supposed to be standing across the ring from him in the future, I might call in sick. You know, use that ‘card subject to change’ clause in my contract.”
OOWF World Championship four-way elimination matches
Match 1: Kylie Mignolio vs. Mac Flasher vs. Zed vs. Alexander Darling
With Alexander sitting on the top turnbuckle, completely disconnected from the other three in the ring, Davis Hightower calls for the bell with Mac, Zed and Kylie circling each other with no one too eager to make the first move. Finally, Kylie stuns Mac with a dropkick to the jaw, opening the door for Zed and Kylie to hit a double suplex on Mac with Kylie getting 1 out of the cover. Mac pops up, ducks a dropkick try by Kylie and sidesteps a lariat from Zed as they pile up in the corner opposite of Alexander’s perch. Mac hits both with a jumping corner splash, peeling Zed off and hoisting Kylie up to the top turnbuckle. Mac then presses Kylie onto Zed, inadvertently giving her a cover try that gets 2. Zed and Mac then hit a double knee lift on Kylie as all three have given and taken tandem offense from one another. While the crowd appreciates the stand-off, Alexander only now descends from the top turnbuckle to roll to the outside and sit on the steps, facing away from the ring.
RUSS: “Not sure if this is some sound strategy from Alexander to avoid contact as long as possible or if he’s just not giving two shits about this match.”
RAZZ: “I always err on the side of genius when it comes to Alexander Darling.”
It’s Zed who heads to the outside to confront Alexander, getting into a bit of an argument with him before Kylie makes things physical with a flying forearm smash that knocks Alexander off of his perch. Mac jumps down to get Alexander back into the ring as the three stand alongside each other with Alexander ready to tear into all three, despite the numbers disadvantage. Zed is the first to charge in with a hockey fight following that Alexander gets the better of when he goes to the eyes. A quick gutwrench suplex is enough to get 2 until Mac makes the save. Alexander gator rolls Mac’s leg and gets into a half-crab submission attempt that is stopped by Kylie, who bulldogs Alexander before missing a standing moonsault. With all three opponents down, Alexander picks Mac to start an assault, attempting a buckle bomb, but getting stopped as Kylie and Zed both pull Mac down.
RAZZ: “It’s the damnedest thing. These three conceivably have a big numbers advantage on Alexander Darling, but they all are choosing to fight him one-on-one.”
RUSS: “They’re still mostly honorable people.”
RAZZ: “Russ, there is no honor greater than holding the OOWF World Championship. Whatever dishonor comes from what you have to do to get there is secondary. A little dishonor goes a long way in a match like this.”
Right on cue, Kylie and Zed both start to assault Alexander, cornering him before Mac races in with a running knee lift. Mac dumps Alexander to the mat as Kylie climbs to the top rope with a 450 in mind. At the last second, Alexander pulls Mac into Kylie’s aerial path, causing the two to bump heads. With those two discombobulated, Alexander slides behind Kylie and gets a schoolboy for 2.5. Mac stomps Kylie by accident as Alexander moves away from the save attempt. With Kylie downed, Alexander wrecks Mac and Zed with a lariat for each of them. Kylie jumps onto Alexander’s back and tries to sleeper him out, but cannot get the hold fully locked in as Alexander dumps her onto a still-downed Mac. Zed jumps up and catches Alexander with a sling blade and tilt-a-whirl backbreaker that gets 2.5. Zed keeps the pressure on Alexander while Mac and Kylie recover. Zed heads to the corner with the Four-Corners Offense in mind as he slings Alexander to each corner where he then delivers 10 mounted punches, almost completing the circuit before Alexander carries Zed from the final corner and delivers an inverted atomic drop. During the chaos, Nuke emerges from under the Spanish announce table with a kendo stick and delivers a hellacious beating to Mac – busting him open – while Annie dumps Kylie from the ring. Alexander seizes the opportunity to lessen the odds, getting an easy 3.
Mac Flasher has been eliminated (pinfall, 11:33).
Zed confronts Nuke after the beating, hitting him with a strong right cross just as OOWF Security arrive to escort Nuke and Annie away. The damage was done to Kylie, however as Annie had worked over her knee with the assistance of the ring post. Alexander dumps Zed to the side and starts to work on Kylie, hammering away at her knee with punches. With Alexander viciously working over Kylie’s knee, Josie – still in her DEA jersey (don’t worry, it’s been washed since the April 8 show) walks onto the ramp with concern in her eyes. Alexander catches Josie from the corner of his eye, easing up the attack a little bit. Kylie tries to stand, but falls. After four attempts, Hightower waves in OOWF Medical.
Kylie Mignolio has been eliminated (unable to continue, 15:01).
Zed and Alexander stand off as Kylie is helped to the back as a very concerned Josie looks on while also shooting wicked glares toward Alexander. The jersey isn’t coming off, however. Zed, fueled by rage, takes the fight to Alexander with a flurry of punches and forearms. Alexander tries to weather the storm, but eventually is buried and can only cover up while Zed unleashes hell. As The Reverend BRICK~! toddles to ringside, Zed gets 2 off a DDT and 2 again when he hits a running neckbreaker. Zed, going full steam ahead, whips Alexander from pillar to post while shouting sentiments such as “WHY DO YOU DISAPPOINT HER?” and “YOU DON’T DESERVE TO HAVE HER LOOK UP TO YOU!” With Zed mounting the corner with Alexander unable to escape, Zed’s attempt at a hurrancanrana is blocked with Zed crashing to the mat. Alexander stacks Zed in a matchbook pin and uses the ropes and Zed’s tights to get the flash victory.
Your winner and the first combatant for the OOWF World Championship (pinfall, 19:53), Alexander Darling!
The crowd, very much not into the result, pelt the ring with garbage as Alexander retrieves his sweatshirt and puts it back on before briskly walking to the back.
RUSS: “While he had help that even he may not have known he had coming, Alexander Darling defied the odds and came away the winner of this match.”
RAZZ: “Not only did he win, but the record books are going to show that he personally eliminated all three. The books don’t note if he had help or not.”
RUSS: “Wikipedia will, however.”
The feed shows Russ furiously clacking away at a document on his laptop before fading into a highlight package for the second World Championship elimination match.
• Match 2: Katie Bardoor vs. Lexie Darling vs. Jack Quinn vs. Beverly Cambridge
The intros are all done and the four competitors stand in the ring in opposite corners. The bell rings and the four of them meet in the middle and exchange handshakes. The last two being Lexie and Jack, and they more sort of kind of fist bump than actually shake hands.
The action begins immediately when Katie takes Bev to the mat with a double leg take down and hammers her with shots to the side of the head. Bev slips free and gets to her feet, as Katie stands, Bev charges and takes them both over the top rope with a clothesline. That leaves Jack and Lexie in the ring. The two slowly circle while the crowd roars with anticipation. They lock up and……spend the next two minutes chain wrestling? Jack and Lexie put on a clinic of holds and counter holds, ending with them both kiping to their feet and looking at one another, and immediately getting clotheslined by Bev and Katie. Katie covers Lexie, and Bev covers Jack, but both are out well before two.
The action continues back and forth for several minutes. Katie lifts Jack in a press slam and throws him over the top rope to the floor, then dives over the top rope and lands a huge senton. Inside the ring, Lexie hammers Bev with chops and kicks backing her toward the ropes. On the outside, Katie is on her feet waiting for Jack to stand, as he does Katie charges but Jack catches her with a backdrop, then climbs onto the apron behind Bev. Lexie grabs Bev and tries to whip her across the ring, but Bev immediately reverses it and sends Lexie to the ropes, where her knee connects with Jack’s head as he is climbing into the ring! Jack flies off the apron and slams head first into the guardrail and collapses to the floor. Inside, Bev grabs Lexie as she staggers backward and rolls her up for a two count. As Lexie kicks out, Katie slips back into the ring and catches Bev and PLANTS her with a DDT. Katie covers, but Lexie recovers in time and breaks up the pin at two.
Outside the ring, Jack is slowly getting to his feet, he staggers a little bit and grabs his head, and when he pulls his hand away we see blood. Inside the ring, Lexie sends Katie to the ropes and drops her head, but Katie stands her up with a kick to the jaw, then grabs her and is about to hit a ripcord clothesline, when we see Jack climb onto the apron, reach for the middle rope and completely miss. Jack falls face first to the apron, then falls to the floor. Katie releases Lexie and slides out of the ring, the referee immediately leaves the ring as well. They check on Jack while inside the ring, Katie takes Lexie to the mat and tries to work her into a crossface, but Lexie fights it and slowly works toward the ropes. Outside the ring the ref makes the dreaded X sign. Medical officials rush to the ring and they help Katie get Jack to his feet and they help him to the back.
The referee slides back into the ring just as Lexie gets to the ropes forcing the break. Bev pulls Lexie to her feet and sends her to the ropes and catches her on the rebound with a belly to belly suplex for a two count. Bev jumps to her feet and heads to the corner and climbs the ropes and waits for Lexie to get to her feet. As Lexie stands, Bev leaps for a missile drop kick, but Lexie moves out of the way and Bev crashes and burns! As Bev writhes in pain on the mat, Lexie slowly gets to her feet. The crowd begins to murmur as GM the Fire makes her way to the ring, she says something to the referee and the time keeper……
Jack Quinn has been counted out. Jack Quinn is eliminated
As Bev stands, Lexie grabs her from behind and hits the FLORIDA KEY! Lex bridges hard the ref hits the mat, one…..two…..THREE!
Beverly Cambridge has been eliminated
As Lexie gets to her feet, the crowd pops loudly and we see Katie Bardoor making her way back to the ring, and she is not happy. She steps between the ropes and she gets right in Lexie’s face and accuses her of intentionally hitting Jack. Tempers flare, and Katie steps away and pulls off her shirt (still wearing a sports bra, calm down perverts>
Razz: SHIRT OFF FISTS UP RUSS! HERE WE GO!
The two circle then charge at one another and the fists are flying! Katie gets the better of it by landing a couple of stiff shots to the side of Lexie’s head. Katie turns to chops and blisters Lexie backing her into the corner. She sends Lexie to the opposite corner and charges in with a huge clothesline, then grabs a side headlock and tries a bulldog out of the corner, but Lexie throws her off. As Katie gets to her feet Lexie charges out and hits a hurracarana that sends Katie sliding under the bottom rope. Lexie waits for Katie to stand and dives between the ropes, but Katie catches her on her shoulders in mid air and goes for the GTSF, but Lex slips off her back and shoves her back first into the guardrail, Lexie charges at Katie but KB backdrops her into the crowd, Lex lands on her feet, Katie turns around and Lexie springs onto the guardrail and leaps at Katie, but KB catches her and POWERSLAMS her on the floor! Katie rolls Lexie into the ring and covers, but Lexie kicks out at two.
Katie pulls Lexie up and lifts her in a vertical suplex and keeps her up there FOREVER, then drops her stomach first onto the top rope for a springboard JACKHAMMER! Another cover, but Lexie kicks out at two. Katie pulls Lexie up and whips her to the corner and charges in for a clothesline, but Lexie gets the boot up and catches Katie on the jaw. Lex grabs Katie and plants her on the mat with a scorpion drop and covers, but Katie kicks out at two. Lex lifts Katie up for the DARLING DRIVER, but Katie slips off her back and locks in the tazzmission! Katie falls to the mat and tries to lock it in, but Lexie fights it with everything she has. Lexie is fading fast as Katie locks the hold in even tighter, finally Lexie is able to get her feet free and roll Katie over onto her back, before Katie can right herself, the referee falls to the mat, one, two, THREE!
WINNER in 27:44 – Alexis Darling
Katie slams the mat in frustration as the referee raises Alexis’ arm. But she gets to her feet and takes a deep breath and offers her hand to Alexis, Lexie looks at her for a moment, then shakes her hand. Katie raises Lexie’s arm in victory, then rolls out of the ring and heads to the back allowing Lexie to soak in the win.

Awesome Bill and Jeff pair off slugging away at each other while Justin and Sandra begin an odd chain-wrestling sequence that sees Sandra clearly get the better of Justin, despite Justin’s denials that he pulled Sandra’s hair for leverage.

Awesome Bill from Dawsonville has been eliminated (pinfall, 3:20).
Awesome Bill snaps to his feet wondering what happened when Justin smiles at him. Awesome Bill, while somewhat annoyed, nods in respect to Justin’s quick thinking and pats him on the shoulder before departing without incident.

Sandra then places both opponents in opposite corners, hitting a running boot to Jeff and then Justin as Jeff lay on the mat. Sandra tries to cover Justin, getting 2.5, and then Jeff for 2 as Justin lunges over to break up the count.
RUSS: “Not sure I get the strategy there. Justin Sane breaking up a count that would have made his night easier with one less opponent in the ring.”
RAZZ: “Strategy and Justin Sane are rarely used in the same book, let alone the same sentence. It’s best to just nod your head and let him learn from his mistakes.”
While on their knees, Justin and Sandra begin slugging away at each other with Jeff coming to and joining the fray. All three are welcoming of the increasing roar from the crowd as Jeff surges to his feet and begins hammering away on both opponents. Jeff hits the ropes and drills Justin with a running knee before Sandra connects with an exploder suplex on Jeff that gets 2. Jeff, now a bit woozy, ducks Justin’s crossbody attempt that sends Justin crashing to the outside barricade in a heap. Sandra tries to link Jeff up in a crucifix pin attempt, but gets dropped unceremoniously before Jeff helps Sandra to her feet, grabs an arm and delivers Kaze Ni Nare. Sandra is out for well beyond the 3 that Creech issues.
Sandra Fallon has been eliminated (pinfall, 8:24).
With the crowd firmly behind Jeff, he rolls to the outside to get Justin back into the ring. Justin clings to the bottom rope until Creech steps in to demand a rope break, despite the no-disqualification rules of this match. Justin reluctantly rolls in only for Jeff to try to wrap him up in a pinning combination. The two roll around on the mat until Jeff grabs Justin and powers his way to a standing position, with Justin in hand, and spikes him down with a Mangyuniku Driver that gets 2.75. Jeff stays on the offensive, using a Blue Thunder Bomb that also gets 2.75 and a look of disbelief from Jeff, who then peppers Justin with a set of kicks to the chest until Justin pops up and stops Jeff’s momentum with a high-risk headlock that carries both men to the outside and all the way to the top of the ramp.

Realizing what’s about to happen, Jeff scrambles underneath the ring as Justin unleashes a DOUUUUUGGGGHHHHAAAAAAAAWWWWWKKKKKK!
The lights go out as various sound effects from classic Super Mario Bros. games are heard, including a loop of 1Up mushroom noises before Justin’s most recent attempt at karaoke is shown on the video wall. The lights come back on with Justin dressed as Elvis Presley and Jeff nowhere to be found. Justin and Creech look around before Jeff, sporting a cape and black mask over his eyes, swoops in from above and delivers a brutal guitar shot to Justin, getting an academic 3 in the process.
Your winner and the first combatant for the OOWF Intercontinental Championship (pinfall, 11:30), Jeff Mangyuniku!
Afterward, Jeff – having doffed the mask and cape – checks on Justin, who keeps talking about a mysterious man with a guitar. Jeff denies any knowledge of the “El Jeff” that fans are now chasing for as Creech, who saw the whole thing, shrugs and raises Jeff’s hand.
Match 2: Bridget O’Malley vs. Diego “Pop” Roxton vs. Angie Delpetro vs. Nuke
Gavin “Junior” Hale inspects all four combatants before asking for the bell with Nuke dropping to the outside, much to the dismay of fans in attendance. Angie, still suffering the effects of her loss to Katie Bardoor, tries to limp away from Diego while Bridget cuts Angie off with a urinage. Angie barely kicks out as Nuke slides in to sneak in a few shots on Diego, only to have that go very badly. Bridget joins the beatdown as Nuke pinballs between the two, eating an elbow from Diego that almost turns Nuke’s lights out. Diego reaches down to pick Nuke up, but is halted by Nuke’s testicular claw that almost gets a submission before Bridget breaks up the hold, if you can call it that. While Bridget and Nuke are occupied with each other, Angie tries to sneak in a rear naked choke on Diego, but can’t get it fully locked in before the Bahamian rolls free and kips up. Angie dropkicks Diego’s leg and then follows with a Shining Wizard attempt that is ducked with plenty of time to spare by Diego.
RUSS: “I’m not sure that she could have telegraphed it any more if Angie would have sent Diego a text message to tell him it was coming.”
RAZZ: “But that’s the kind of risk she’s willing to take. She knows she’s scouted and she stays within her game.”
Diego, now in control, corners Angie and begins to clap along with the fans between strikes, establishing a rhythm with a big smile on his face. Nuke, having posted Bridget, waylays Diego with a running Give ‘Em the Boot, sneaking a flash pin with his feet very much on the ropes and held on by both Angie and Annie.
Diego “Pop” Roxton has been eliminated (pinfall, 4:51).
Nuke and Angie nod at each other, seemingly forming a temporary union as they descend to the outside and start working Bridget over. Nuke slams Bridget onto the apron as Angie waits with an elbow drop. Nuke and Angie roll Bridget inside and both try to pin her, but she kicks out at 1 as neither did much to put weight across her shoulders. Bridget gets to her feet and ducks a clothesline try by Nuke and catches a charging Angie, hitting a belly-to-belly suplex that gets 2, only because Nuke dashed in to make the save. Bridget, without an in-ring ally, starts to fluster the two rookies with hit-and-run strikes, getting plenty of offense in on Nuke and Angie while coming away from the exchanges relatively unscathed. Nuke does get in a kidney punch to Bridget’s side, halting her almost immediately as Hale steps in to check on the downed wrestler.
RAZZ: “Nuke is a dirt-cheap fighter and I kind of respect that about him. He’ll do what it takes to win and for a young kid like he is, that might be the difference between getting the big matches and spending Saturdays in catering.”
Nuke tries to get past Hale to inflict more punishment to Bridget, but is unsuccessful as Hale questions if Bridget can keep going, only getting affirmative responses from the Pennsylvanian. With Hale distracted, Angie tempts fate by taking out her trusty chloroform rag with Nuke in her sights. Angie is stopped by Annie, who hops on the apron and grabs her arm. As the two women argue, Nuke connects with a second Give ‘Em the Boot, covering Angie and getting an eventual 3 from Hale, who deemed that Bridget was able to continue while the commotion was going on behind his back.
Angie Delpetro has been eliminated (10:10).
Nuke tries to catch Bridget off guard with another Give ‘Em the Boot, but the veteran sidesteps the charge and lets Nuke crash chest-first into the corner. Bridget then grabs a waistlock and flips that to a Bridget to Nowhere German suplex that gets 2. Nuke slides away to take a powder, with Bridget following. As Bridget gives chase to Nuke as he tries to slide away on the floor, Angie jumps on Bridget’s back to distract her long enough so Nuke could pull out a set of brass knuckles and plant a right hand firmly on Bridget’s jaw. Bridget crumbles to the floor as Nuke and Angie try to roll the deadweight fighter inside. Nuke tries to pin Bridget, but she manages to get a shoulder up at 2.9. Nuke sets Bridget up in a corner, looking to finish off a third opponent with Give ‘Em the Boot, but is met with a discus forearm from Bridget, who then fires off an O’Mallet that gets 2. Bridget, still fighting the daze from the brass knuckles shot, takes off her elbow pad while seemingly calling for Red Death. With Nuke groggily getting to a standing position, Bridget tries to bounce off of the ropes, only for Annie to pull the top rope down and send Bridget to the outside. While Annie claims innocence and this is all no-disqualification, Hale exercises his right to eject Annie from ringside, having caught the whole thing. Annie protests. Nuke profanely protests. Hale doesn’t care. Annie slowly walks to the back while Bridget slowly crawls back inside with Nuke viciously stomping away at his weakened foe. While this is happening, a tall figure dressed in a yellow hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, jeans and black Converse All-Stars runs into the ring only to get promptly swarmed on and tackled by security. As the figure is taken away, Bridget pops up and drills Nuke with a Red Death elbow, getting 3 from Hale.
Your winner and the second combatant for the OOWF Intercontinental Championship (pinfall, 14:39), Bridget O’Malley!
Afterward, Nuke kicks the bottom rope and swears that the faceless figure was Mac Flasher. Bridget, seeing a replay of the chaos on the OOWFTron is now furious at the idea of Mac assisting her in any way, but she’s also not going to give up her spot in two weeks as Jeff Mangyuniku walks out to congratulate her on the victory. Nuke, now joined by his barricade-jumping father Adam Jennings, is still berating Hale as the feed cuts away to an advertisement for “OOWF Ghost Stories with Josie,” a new show on OOWF.tv Kids, also free for $6.66 per month.
OOWF Rookie Showcase battle royal
• Rory Thomas, PORK, Sean Franklin, Ona Jones, Pete Quick, The Woodsmen (Hunter and Dakota), The Electric Company (Joe and Jamie), The One-Notes (Carrie and Harper) and The Battling Baristas (Brynn and Tara)
The 12 non-PORK combatants eye up the largest wrestler in the ring, quickly converging on him with a 12-on-1 assault to try to get him over the top rope. PORK humors the attempt for a few seconds before bursting through the collected pile of humanity with a roar and almost feral aggression, sending Pete, Brynn and Hunter to the outside with relative ease. Everyone else backs off as PORK encourages anyone to try him. Ona tries her hand, actually locking PORK into a victory roll, but that’s not going to work here as PORK rolls through and casually disposes of Ona.
RUSS: “Coming into this battle royal, PORK was the odds-on favorite to win, but even wouldn’t have guessed that he’d have the first four eliminations by himself.”
RAZZ: “Partner, you’re looking at a man who has the experience and tools to succeed in OOWF. Now he has a mentor who has done it all. If I’m the eventual OOWF World Champion, I gotta be looking over my shoulder for this guy.”
Tara and Rory pair off, battling for leverage along the ropes before Hunter dumps both wrestlers over. Sean Franklin then tries to get Hunter over the top, but is halted by both members of The Electric Company, who hit a pair of slick double-team moves on the former collegiate grappler. With Sean woozy, Joe tries to clothesline him out, catching only air and the outside mat. Jamie charges Sean next and gets backdropped onto Joe, leaving Hunter, Sean, both of The One-Notes and PORK. Hunter tries to form a unit with Sean and PORK, which the veteran is receptive toward. Sean gives Hunter a wanking motion and a shot to the jaw, as Carrie and Harper sit back and watch the others scrap. Sean and Hunter exchange fierce rights as Sean does try to grapple Hunter over the top, getting him onto the apron before before PORK hits both men with the Bacon Bounce (Pounce), driving Hunter to the outside and crushing Sean against the ropes, making him easy pickings for PORK to toss him. The One-Notes, who have barely done anything since the opening assault on PORK, stand alone with PORK with the crowd firmly behind the charismatic big man. Carrie tries her hand at PORK first, getting a Porcine Elbow and a flip, flop and fly right hand for her troubles. Harper clips PORK’s knee as The One-Notes begin to seize control. The wannabe crooners hammer away at PORK, working over his back and legs while the fans are borderline riotous in their support for the veteran. As the duo stands PORK up, Carrie tries to hold his arms as Harper fires a right hand that misses the ducking PORK and puts Carrie to sleep. PORK grabs Harper by her hair and sends her over the top rope and on her feet. Carrie, still out, is gently lifted by PORK and tossed into the unexpectedly open arms of Harper, knocking her over to meet the requirement of Carrie’s feet hitting the floor.
Your winner (elimination of Carrie, 8:26), PORK!
PORK drops to his knees and soaks in the moment as OOWF fans sing-song adorations to the big man.
RUSS: “As dominant an effort that you’ll ever see in a battle royal. PORK just mowed through almost everyone, hardly breaking a sweat in the process.”
RAZZ: “PORK was a man on a mission tonight. If I see that I’m supposed to be standing across the ring from him in the future, I might call in sick. You know, use that ‘card subject to change’ clause in my contract.”
OOWF World Championship four-way elimination matches
Match 1: Kylie Mignolio vs. Mac Flasher vs. Zed vs. Alexander Darling
With Alexander sitting on the top turnbuckle, completely disconnected from the other three in the ring, Davis Hightower calls for the bell with Mac, Zed and Kylie circling each other with no one too eager to make the first move. Finally, Kylie stuns Mac with a dropkick to the jaw, opening the door for Zed and Kylie to hit a double suplex on Mac with Kylie getting 1 out of the cover. Mac pops up, ducks a dropkick try by Kylie and sidesteps a lariat from Zed as they pile up in the corner opposite of Alexander’s perch. Mac hits both with a jumping corner splash, peeling Zed off and hoisting Kylie up to the top turnbuckle. Mac then presses Kylie onto Zed, inadvertently giving her a cover try that gets 2. Zed and Mac then hit a double knee lift on Kylie as all three have given and taken tandem offense from one another. While the crowd appreciates the stand-off, Alexander only now descends from the top turnbuckle to roll to the outside and sit on the steps, facing away from the ring.
RUSS: “Not sure if this is some sound strategy from Alexander to avoid contact as long as possible or if he’s just not giving two shits about this match.”
RAZZ: “I always err on the side of genius when it comes to Alexander Darling.”
It’s Zed who heads to the outside to confront Alexander, getting into a bit of an argument with him before Kylie makes things physical with a flying forearm smash that knocks Alexander off of his perch. Mac jumps down to get Alexander back into the ring as the three stand alongside each other with Alexander ready to tear into all three, despite the numbers disadvantage. Zed is the first to charge in with a hockey fight following that Alexander gets the better of when he goes to the eyes. A quick gutwrench suplex is enough to get 2 until Mac makes the save. Alexander gator rolls Mac’s leg and gets into a half-crab submission attempt that is stopped by Kylie, who bulldogs Alexander before missing a standing moonsault. With all three opponents down, Alexander picks Mac to start an assault, attempting a buckle bomb, but getting stopped as Kylie and Zed both pull Mac down.
RAZZ: “It’s the damnedest thing. These three conceivably have a big numbers advantage on Alexander Darling, but they all are choosing to fight him one-on-one.”
RUSS: “They’re still mostly honorable people.”
RAZZ: “Russ, there is no honor greater than holding the OOWF World Championship. Whatever dishonor comes from what you have to do to get there is secondary. A little dishonor goes a long way in a match like this.”
Right on cue, Kylie and Zed both start to assault Alexander, cornering him before Mac races in with a running knee lift. Mac dumps Alexander to the mat as Kylie climbs to the top rope with a 450 in mind. At the last second, Alexander pulls Mac into Kylie’s aerial path, causing the two to bump heads. With those two discombobulated, Alexander slides behind Kylie and gets a schoolboy for 2.5. Mac stomps Kylie by accident as Alexander moves away from the save attempt. With Kylie downed, Alexander wrecks Mac and Zed with a lariat for each of them. Kylie jumps onto Alexander’s back and tries to sleeper him out, but cannot get the hold fully locked in as Alexander dumps her onto a still-downed Mac. Zed jumps up and catches Alexander with a sling blade and tilt-a-whirl backbreaker that gets 2.5. Zed keeps the pressure on Alexander while Mac and Kylie recover. Zed heads to the corner with the Four-Corners Offense in mind as he slings Alexander to each corner where he then delivers 10 mounted punches, almost completing the circuit before Alexander carries Zed from the final corner and delivers an inverted atomic drop. During the chaos, Nuke emerges from under the Spanish announce table with a kendo stick and delivers a hellacious beating to Mac – busting him open – while Annie dumps Kylie from the ring. Alexander seizes the opportunity to lessen the odds, getting an easy 3.
Mac Flasher has been eliminated (pinfall, 11:33).
Zed confronts Nuke after the beating, hitting him with a strong right cross just as OOWF Security arrive to escort Nuke and Annie away. The damage was done to Kylie, however as Annie had worked over her knee with the assistance of the ring post. Alexander dumps Zed to the side and starts to work on Kylie, hammering away at her knee with punches. With Alexander viciously working over Kylie’s knee, Josie – still in her DEA jersey (don’t worry, it’s been washed since the April 8 show) walks onto the ramp with concern in her eyes. Alexander catches Josie from the corner of his eye, easing up the attack a little bit. Kylie tries to stand, but falls. After four attempts, Hightower waves in OOWF Medical.
Kylie Mignolio has been eliminated (unable to continue, 15:01).
Zed and Alexander stand off as Kylie is helped to the back as a very concerned Josie looks on while also shooting wicked glares toward Alexander. The jersey isn’t coming off, however. Zed, fueled by rage, takes the fight to Alexander with a flurry of punches and forearms. Alexander tries to weather the storm, but eventually is buried and can only cover up while Zed unleashes hell. As The Reverend BRICK~! toddles to ringside, Zed gets 2 off a DDT and 2 again when he hits a running neckbreaker. Zed, going full steam ahead, whips Alexander from pillar to post while shouting sentiments such as “WHY DO YOU DISAPPOINT HER?” and “YOU DON’T DESERVE TO HAVE HER LOOK UP TO YOU!” With Zed mounting the corner with Alexander unable to escape, Zed’s attempt at a hurrancanrana is blocked with Zed crashing to the mat. Alexander stacks Zed in a matchbook pin and uses the ropes and Zed’s tights to get the flash victory.
Your winner and the first combatant for the OOWF World Championship (pinfall, 19:53), Alexander Darling!
The crowd, very much not into the result, pelt the ring with garbage as Alexander retrieves his sweatshirt and puts it back on before briskly walking to the back.
RUSS: “While he had help that even he may not have known he had coming, Alexander Darling defied the odds and came away the winner of this match.”
RAZZ: “Not only did he win, but the record books are going to show that he personally eliminated all three. The books don’t note if he had help or not.”
RUSS: “Wikipedia will, however.”
The feed shows Russ furiously clacking away at a document on his laptop before fading into a highlight package for the second World Championship elimination match.
• Match 2: Katie Bardoor vs. Lexie Darling vs. Jack Quinn vs. Beverly Cambridge
The intros are all done and the four competitors stand in the ring in opposite corners. The bell rings and the four of them meet in the middle and exchange handshakes. The last two being Lexie and Jack, and they more sort of kind of fist bump than actually shake hands.
The action begins immediately when Katie takes Bev to the mat with a double leg take down and hammers her with shots to the side of the head. Bev slips free and gets to her feet, as Katie stands, Bev charges and takes them both over the top rope with a clothesline. That leaves Jack and Lexie in the ring. The two slowly circle while the crowd roars with anticipation. They lock up and……spend the next two minutes chain wrestling? Jack and Lexie put on a clinic of holds and counter holds, ending with them both kiping to their feet and looking at one another, and immediately getting clotheslined by Bev and Katie. Katie covers Lexie, and Bev covers Jack, but both are out well before two.
The action continues back and forth for several minutes. Katie lifts Jack in a press slam and throws him over the top rope to the floor, then dives over the top rope and lands a huge senton. Inside the ring, Lexie hammers Bev with chops and kicks backing her toward the ropes. On the outside, Katie is on her feet waiting for Jack to stand, as he does Katie charges but Jack catches her with a backdrop, then climbs onto the apron behind Bev. Lexie grabs Bev and tries to whip her across the ring, but Bev immediately reverses it and sends Lexie to the ropes, where her knee connects with Jack’s head as he is climbing into the ring! Jack flies off the apron and slams head first into the guardrail and collapses to the floor. Inside, Bev grabs Lexie as she staggers backward and rolls her up for a two count. As Lexie kicks out, Katie slips back into the ring and catches Bev and PLANTS her with a DDT. Katie covers, but Lexie recovers in time and breaks up the pin at two.
Outside the ring, Jack is slowly getting to his feet, he staggers a little bit and grabs his head, and when he pulls his hand away we see blood. Inside the ring, Lexie sends Katie to the ropes and drops her head, but Katie stands her up with a kick to the jaw, then grabs her and is about to hit a ripcord clothesline, when we see Jack climb onto the apron, reach for the middle rope and completely miss. Jack falls face first to the apron, then falls to the floor. Katie releases Lexie and slides out of the ring, the referee immediately leaves the ring as well. They check on Jack while inside the ring, Katie takes Lexie to the mat and tries to work her into a crossface, but Lexie fights it and slowly works toward the ropes. Outside the ring the ref makes the dreaded X sign. Medical officials rush to the ring and they help Katie get Jack to his feet and they help him to the back.
The referee slides back into the ring just as Lexie gets to the ropes forcing the break. Bev pulls Lexie to her feet and sends her to the ropes and catches her on the rebound with a belly to belly suplex for a two count. Bev jumps to her feet and heads to the corner and climbs the ropes and waits for Lexie to get to her feet. As Lexie stands, Bev leaps for a missile drop kick, but Lexie moves out of the way and Bev crashes and burns! As Bev writhes in pain on the mat, Lexie slowly gets to her feet. The crowd begins to murmur as GM the Fire makes her way to the ring, she says something to the referee and the time keeper……
Jack Quinn has been counted out. Jack Quinn is eliminated
As Bev stands, Lexie grabs her from behind and hits the FLORIDA KEY! Lex bridges hard the ref hits the mat, one…..two…..THREE!
Beverly Cambridge has been eliminated
As Lexie gets to her feet, the crowd pops loudly and we see Katie Bardoor making her way back to the ring, and she is not happy. She steps between the ropes and she gets right in Lexie’s face and accuses her of intentionally hitting Jack. Tempers flare, and Katie steps away and pulls off her shirt (still wearing a sports bra, calm down perverts>
Razz: SHIRT OFF FISTS UP RUSS! HERE WE GO!
The two circle then charge at one another and the fists are flying! Katie gets the better of it by landing a couple of stiff shots to the side of Lexie’s head. Katie turns to chops and blisters Lexie backing her into the corner. She sends Lexie to the opposite corner and charges in with a huge clothesline, then grabs a side headlock and tries a bulldog out of the corner, but Lexie throws her off. As Katie gets to her feet Lexie charges out and hits a hurracarana that sends Katie sliding under the bottom rope. Lexie waits for Katie to stand and dives between the ropes, but Katie catches her on her shoulders in mid air and goes for the GTSF, but Lex slips off her back and shoves her back first into the guardrail, Lexie charges at Katie but KB backdrops her into the crowd, Lex lands on her feet, Katie turns around and Lexie springs onto the guardrail and leaps at Katie, but KB catches her and POWERSLAMS her on the floor! Katie rolls Lexie into the ring and covers, but Lexie kicks out at two.
Katie pulls Lexie up and lifts her in a vertical suplex and keeps her up there FOREVER, then drops her stomach first onto the top rope for a springboard JACKHAMMER! Another cover, but Lexie kicks out at two. Katie pulls Lexie up and whips her to the corner and charges in for a clothesline, but Lexie gets the boot up and catches Katie on the jaw. Lex grabs Katie and plants her on the mat with a scorpion drop and covers, but Katie kicks out at two. Lex lifts Katie up for the DARLING DRIVER, but Katie slips off her back and locks in the tazzmission! Katie falls to the mat and tries to lock it in, but Lexie fights it with everything she has. Lexie is fading fast as Katie locks the hold in even tighter, finally Lexie is able to get her feet free and roll Katie over onto her back, before Katie can right herself, the referee falls to the mat, one, two, THREE!
WINNER in 27:44 – Alexis Darling
Katie slams the mat in frustration as the referee raises Alexis’ arm. But she gets to her feet and takes a deep breath and offers her hand to Alexis, Lexie looks at her for a moment, then shakes her hand. Katie raises Lexie’s arm in victory, then rolls out of the ring and heads to the back allowing Lexie to soak in the win.
