Match 1: “Not America’s Sweetheart” Davienne vs Dave Cole
Ahhhhhhhh! It’s a Davey Dogfight! Davienne comes in hard but Cole takes her down and twists her up. Who’s the best Davey? They trade chops until Davienne kicks out his knee in the ropes. Davienne with a big German before she collects more cash from the ringside crowd (this is a THING now). Cole with a crucifix stretch but Davienne muscles him up for an air raid crash. Cole kicks out! Cole with big stomps to Davienne, neckbreaker for two! Back to the crucifix stretch, he torques it back but she stands up….Cole cradles back with a crucifix rollup! Back to the stretch but Davienne gets a foot to the rope. Davienne escapes a sunset flip pin attempt into a deep Boston crab! Cole almost gets the rope but Davienne drags him to the center and sinks deeper in, forcing Cole to tap out! A fun match here, it was wild to see the Worcester crowd start to turn on Cole in favor of Davienne and her slowly increasing pile of money.
Winner: Dave Cole
Match 2: Teddy Goodz vs “The Air Podless God” Richard Holliday (No DQ match)
Holliday is on Goodz’ hit list after this Dick’s treatment of LMK last week. Apparently Holliday is getting hardcore tonight. Goodz in hard and running over Holliday early. Atomic drop, back elbow flurry and he drags Holliday to the outside. Holliday bounced off the stairs and Goodz grabs a chair. Holliday with a gut kick and drops Goodz with a clothesline. Holliday with a trash can lid but Goodz cuts that off. Big slam and Holliday wedges a chair into the buckles. Goodz fights out of eating the chair. High knee strike but runs into a slam onto the lid. Trading punches in the pocket, Holliday hits a ddt for two. He grabs Goodz and tries the 2008 off the top. Good reverses into a backpack stunner but Holliday evades it. He does NOT evade getting rammed into the chair in the corner. DVD for two! Holliday isn’t done! Goodz wants to finish but Holliday hits a perfectly legal low blow right in Teddy’s goods. Holliday grabs a bag of coffee beans (he has a coffee now?), spills them on the ring…he tries a bomb but Goodz hits an iconoclasm onto the Beans!!! We’re chanting for Beans! Cutter into the beans! Goodz gets the three! Holliday got his just desserts in a fun little car crash.
Winner: Teddy Goodz
Match 3: “The Prize City Queen” Becca (w/ Alec Price) vs Kennedi Copeland
Price and Becca can’t stop agitating the Worcester crowd. Copeland uses that distraction to her advantage, sending Becca to the apron with a rana. Copeland with a shoulder block sends Becca off the apron but they catch her in the ring skirt and lay down a beating. Becca with a running boot to the face. Split leg drop for two. Copeland with a running cross body! Becca working the neck and almost takes Copeland’s head with a wild slap. Copeland firing back with a huge flurry of chops that fires the room up. Page Turner! Becca kicks out! Price interferes with Copeland’s next attempt and eats a baseball slide. Becca uses the time to set up a superkick as Copeland comes off the top. One powerbomb later, Becca puts Copeland down for the pin. What a trajesty!
Winner: Becca
It’s time for the finals of this season’s Discovery Gauntlet! Will Miracle Generation be the first non-final entrant Discovery Gauntlet winner?
Match 4: Miracle Generation (Kylon King & Dustin Waller) vs Above The Rest (Gabriel Skye & Tristan Thai)
Above the rest had showings in the singles DG from Season 1. Thai is explosive and stuns King early with some strong shots. Kylon responds in kind before they both tag out. Waller and Skye go through a fast sequence of reversals and arm drags and dodges. Skye getting worked over through multiple tags, he avoids a brain buster, tags Thai. Double stomp to King as Thai applies a dragon sleeper. Skye suplexed into a 450 on King for two. Skye keeping King grounded and hits a leg lariat in the corner.

The crowd is firmly in the corner of Miracle Generation tonight! Waller escapes a double drop and gets the tag to King. Handspring wheelbarrow cutter to a bridging German pin for two! King dodges the double PK! Skye popped to the top! Spanish fly frog splash combo from the miracle generation to get the pin and win the whole gauntlet!!!!! Fantastic energy and work here.

Violence is Forever hits the ring and stomps out Miracle Generation! I guess they figure they don’t have to fight later so why not spoil someone else’s party instead. Waller gets hit with a running kick saito. King dropped with Chasing the Dragon! Sam Laterna starts the post-match interview with ViF instead. They are the 2-time tag team of the year and they barely merit an invite? Well, if this is tag team wrestling, THEY are tag team wrestling and people should come see them destroy Hot Wheelz at the Action/SUP show tomorrow! THAT match is gonna rule!
Match 5: Jordan Blade vs Matt Makowski
Makowski comes in hard with a takedown and strikes but Jordan works to regain ground control. Makowski tries the armbar and Jordan gets the rope. Blade snags an ankle lock, Matt kicks free tries a sharpshooter. Blade out but runs into a stiff kick to the face. Makowski twists up the arm on the back and torques back on the other arm. Ow! The crowd is very against Makowski here. He holds the hammerlock and slams Blade down. Blade punches free, big spine buster! STF! Blade clubbing Matt in the head but he catches the arms into a cattle mutilation!!! Makowski sends her to the corner, Blade with a uranage out! Raging forearms back and forth! Makowski drops Blade with a flying forearm and waits for her to get back up. Makowski tries a lariat! Jordan with a cross armbreaker! Makowski is out and gets his own cross armbreaker on and Blade has to tap. Great back and forth aggression here, this was all action for a technical match. Enjoyed this.
Winner: Matt Makowski
Match 6: Brick City Boyz (JCruz & Victor Chase) vs The Mane Event (Jay Lyon & Midas Black)
Here’s your crib sheet: We hate the S*** City Boys and The Mane Event is just great (even with their bent up Lion hoop, thanks Kevin Ku). Battle of the J’s! Cruz tripped up and hit with a crossbody! Lion hoop time! Lyon hits the dive he get isolated on there and Cruz hits an electric chair facebuster to the apron. Eeeek! Lyon taking the beatdown and got a forced split. Lyon punches free and dives, he lands hard but manages to rana Chase into Cruz. Scary bump here. Midas tags in, high angle dive to the outside! Lyon with a pop up, Midas with a cutter. Lyon is hurtin’. Midas with a cobra clutch slam to Chase! Cruz blasts Midas but Lyon spins him out with a slam and everyone is down. Lyon and Cruz to their feet, high enziguri from Lyon! Mane event tries the rebound armdrag but Chase cut it off and Midas is crushed. Lyon eats a bomb to the knees. Lyon sent out, Black eats a German but Lyon makes the save. Lyon dumped to the floor again. They try the finish on Midas! Midas out, Chase tossed! Mane event hits the pop up xfactor for the win! This almost went sideways towards the end but they got it back and Mane Event took the win, bringing more joy to the Worcester crowd to see the Brick City Boyz lose again.
I guess the hoop isn’t entirely broken. ???? #UnchartedTerritory pic.twitter.com/p4oQZnZ1v6

Winners: The Mane Event
Match 7: Little Mean Kathleen (w/ Teddy “No Shirt, Only Overalls, Underwear Undetermined” Goodz) vs “Club” Cam Zagami
Cam grabs the mic but LMK hits him in his junk junk. He pushes off the Dudley dog but gets Thez pressed. Cam dodges a corner charge, eats knees on a moonsault. Cam gets a slam. Hit Cam’s music and he dances a stomp in. He’s too busy posing he misses the crossbody coming at him, the running stomps into a Flavor Bomb. She tries a rana but Cam tombstones her for two! Back elbow Cam slams her again and gets the pin….LMK’s foot was on the bottom rope! Teddy Goodz and Rich Palladino confirm that for the ref and restarts the match. LMK blasts Cam with a running bulldog and he’s down for the three! Fast and fun. The crowd eats up LMK appearances like chips, win or lose, they are here for her energy. RAHHH!
Winner: LMK
Main Event: VSK vs Ryan Galeone
An unexpected main event spot faces VSK & Galeone tonight. I guess Mark Sterling didn’t want none of this “murdering of his client” stuff tonight. VSK is about to get his comeuppance. Galeone does not disappoint. Big chops and VSK tries to escape. He tries to flip out of hard. He tries an up and over. Galeone gets thrown out but lands on his feet. VSK tries a dive but gets chokeslammed on the apron. Galeone eats a back elbow and a German into the buckle! BSK MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE HERE….oh a one count. VSK goes for the eyes repeatedly. Knee drops to the face! VSK is trying to keep the pressure on and landing shots on Galeone….who finally gets mad and slaps his way back to his feet. VSK comes running into an enziguri! Dropkick from VSK and some uppercuts. VSK getting tired and Galeone is still on his feet….and then flying through the air to put those feet through his face. Galeone to the top! Slingshot senton for two! VSK up top but Galeone one hand presses him down into a knee. Galeone taken out at the knee and a backstabber rocks him. Hangman’s neckbreaker! Kick out! Uppercut and Yakuza kick! Michanoku Driver! How did VSK pick him up for that?!?? Galeone kicks out! Double underhook suplex from VSK for two. Crowd willing Galeone back to life. One hand spine buster! VSK kicks out! VSK with a roaring elbow, knee and superkick for two! VSK with a high angle frogsplash! Kick out! VSK off the top…Galeone with a backbreaker! High Knee! He goes for a Powerbomb, VSK rolls through and slams Galeone down! One. Two. Th-KICK OUT! VSK comes in one more time but Galeone hits a deadlift release powerbomb for the three!!!! You know…this wasn’t the first choice for the main event….or the second. But it was THE main event we got tonight and these guys worked their ASSES off to show how they could step into that spot and show off in a high level clash. The crowd went right along with it and we got the feel good win we wanted and VSK once again left lying in a heap in the center of the ring…until….
Winner: Ryan Galeone.
Alec Price and Becca hit the ring. VSK tries to popup andattack but he gets thrown out. Alec Price hits the flying back kick to the head to drop Galeone! Price grabs the mic and declares himself the Ace of Beyond. They kick Galeone out of the ring and tells the crowd off before leaving. Doesn’t Price need an opponent for tomorrow? Hmmmmmm…“I’LL F****ING KILL HIM TOMORROW!!!” screams Galeone as he storms to the back. I’d say that settles that.
And that’s it for Uncharted Territory Season 3! I really enjoyed this episode in spite of the fact that the two main matches got scrapped in the last week. Everyone took the ball they were given and ran with it tonight. As a penultimate episode to the big show of Heavy Lies the Crown tomorrow, this definitely did the job. Did it feel like a SEASON FINALE? Maybe not. But then again, it’s not like Beyond is going away on Thursday nights for the next several months like the last two seasons. We’re back here next Thursday for Wrestling Open and it’s time to see how this new format will play out…and Beyond’s new self-appointed Ace has said he’ll be there. But first, he needs to survive Galeone tomorrow.
And that wraps up The first day of the Wrestival! Tomorrow at 3pm, we have ACTION & SUP’s super show “KEVINNNN!!!” Featuring Violence is Forever vs Hot Wheelz (Tracy Williams & Wheeler Yuta) as well as the just signed match of Anthony Henry vs Masha Slamovich. The card looks great. And at 8pm? The Beyond/WWR+ Supershow “Heavy Lies the Crown” which will take us right into the new year! The wrestle party doesn’t stop until very late on Saturday. Until then!
