CZW RULES: John Silver vs. Conor Claxton
Silver hit the ring and tackled Claxton. They began brawling. All sorts of weapons in the ring including steel chairs, trash cans and a staple gun. Silver gained control and placed a trash can over Claxton’s head and chest and began kicking the can with Yes Kicks.
Silver stalked Claxton and removed the trash can. Claxton rolled to the outside, busted open. Silver nailed him and placed him in a chair, kicking him in the chest. The audio isn’t synched with the video, which sucks as a viewer.
Silver placed another trash can over Claxton’s head. He set up to charge and kick it but Claxton removed it and threw the can at Silver. Claxton took a dollar from a fan at ringside and stapled it to Silver. He then did it again on the other pec. UGH. No need for Silver to be doing these spots after getting a deal with AEW.
Silver fought back and nailed him with the stapler, then stapled a dollar to Claxton’s forehead and cheek. Silver began taking more money from fans and stapling it to Claxton. Hell of a way to get a tip for your services. Claxton nailed him with a chair across the back. He told Silver he was in his world, slapping him and suplexing him across the floor and an open chair.
Claxton brought him back into the ring and drilled him into an open chair. He covered Silver, who grabbed the ropes. The referee stopped counting. Claxton complained there are no rules. He has a point.
Claxton brought Silver over to the ropes and pulled him to his shoulders. Silver turned it into a rana and followed up with a superkick and a Spin Doctor. The crowd chanted “Meat Man” at Silver, Claxton kicked him off as he charged.
Claxton went to the top but Silver threw a trash can at him. Silver slammed him off the top onto an upside down trash can, which crumpled under Claxton. Claxton kicked up at two. Silver went under the ring and brought out a kickpad covered in thumbtacks. He placed it on his leg and began pummeling Claxton with kicks to the chest. Claxton looked to be done but exploded with a flurry of offense and a piledriver for a two count.
Claxton brought out a barbed wire door. Silver nailed an enziguiri and hit a Razor’s Edge into the door on Claxton. Silver covered him for the pin.
Your winner, John Silver!
If you want to watch weapons and plunder, this was for you.
Silver collected all the money after the match. He was limping a bit after but that may have been selling.

The winner will be the number one contender to the CZW Wired Championship, which is their version of a TV title.
Navarro had a big entourage with him and his hype man introduced every single one of them.

Bishop tackled Macintosh and they crashed to the outside. Sky and Ruff went back and forth with some nice action.

Navarro knocked him out of the ring as Bishop returned to the ring, He nailed a double stomp on Navarro.

Navarro blasted him after the move and teased a dive to the outside, but faked everyone out. Bishop began drilling everyone with strikes on the floor.

Navarro came off the top with a frog splash on Bishop and scored the pin.
Your winner, KC Navarro!
It was all young talents doing everything they could to entertain and make their names. Ruff has a TON of athletic potential. Bishop had some real good grit to his work. MacIntosh had the most polish in the ring and was great as a base and showing his power. Navarro and his group seemed to be in the middle of being groomed as the next big stable here. Skye showed some nice skills as well. Lots of potential names for the future here.
Maven Bentley came into the ring and tried to tell Bishop he could make him a champion. He told Bishop all he had to do was fall in line and become a champion because of Maven. Bishop decked him. He said he will do what he wants, on his terms. Obviously that's going to lead to someone managed by Maven vs. Bishop down the line.
