LVAC Wrestling held a "bonus" event at the Mahoning Drive-In in Lehighton, PA for those attending the second annual "Reel Rumble" weekend featuring pro wrestling themed movies. They had a ring set up in front of the drive-in screen with fans invited to bring chairs or blankets to sit around ringside in a festival atmosphere.
They announced that due to an injury, A Very Good Professional Wrestler would be replaced by Tim Donst against Tony Deppen in the main event.
*First Friends, The Boar (formerly of Moldova) & Erica Leigh defeated The Lone Rangers, Jeff Cannonball and Mitch Vallen. An entertaining tag with some fun comedy,
*Masha Slamowich, billed from Russia vs. Veda Scott, who has been seen in Ring of Honor and on AEW Women's Tag Team Tournament commentary. Scott played the babyface in peril, being worked over by the larger Masha early on. She cut off Masha with a clothesline and a slam. Scott scored several near falls. Scott finally scored a submission victory. Fun.
*Tim Donst vs. Tony Deppen. Deppen is the current ROH TV Champion. Donst played full heel, complaining about Deppen pulling hair and tights. He took control kicking Deppen in the guts and playing up to the crowd. Deppen came back with a dropkick that sent Donst to the floor outside. Deppen teased a dive but Donst dove back into the ring, where he was dropkicked out again. Donst regained control, working over Deppen's back. Donst distracted the referee, allowing his seconds, Sidney Bakabella and Dan the Champ to work over Deppen. He missed a charge into the corner and Deppen cleaned house until missing a Bronco Buster in the corner. Donst suplexed him off the buckles but missed a follow-up. Donst nailed a leaping DDT and scored a near fall. Fun back and forth match. Donst cut him off on the top and went for a superplex but was blocked. Deppen knocked him into the ring but missed a double stomp. Donst covered him for a two count and argued with the referee over whether it was a 2 or 3 count. Deppen beat down Donst with a series of forearms and a big leaping knee for another two count. Deppen nailed a big basement dropkick. They went to the ground, where Deppen escaped a powerbomb attempt. Deppen hit a tope con hilo to the floor, which is basically all rocks and dirt, so he's pretty fearless. Donst cut him off and scored several two counts, again arguing with the referee. He shoved the referee. Deppen rolled him up and scored the pin. Good stuff.
*The Batiri & Ziggy Haim & Haunted Francis vs. Rex Lawless & CC Boost & King Crab & Merlok. One of the Batiri battled Merlok, who missed a splash in the corner. One of the Batiri hit a dive to the outside. Haim tagged in and hit a running knee. CC Boost, dressed in stripes and a mask because he's a robber. Haim was elevated and tossed to the outside onto everyone. Lawless tagged in and did some power spots. Haim broke away from Francis and made the hot tag. Lots of back and forth action. Team Boost regained control. One of the Batiri cut off Boost and went for a superplex, executing the move. Everyone battled and built to a Tower of Doom spot. The crowd rallied everyone to continue. Haim took out Boost with a tiltowhirl into a DDT. Everyone hit big moves. Lawless hit a package piledriver on Francis and scored the pin. The crowd really enjoyed this one and it went for quite awhile.
