ACTION Wrestling “Jawbreakers” 

5/6/22 - Tyrone, GA

Now Available on IWTV.LIVE 

We’re on one of the final stops the Southeast has before Monday’s Uncharted Territory debut! Dylan Hales & Jumpin’ Johnny Mosley are your commentators. Scott Hensley is your announcer! CEO Matt Griffin is standing in the background with a headset and a green shirt. Let’s goooooooo!

Match 1: Anthony Henry vs Alex Shelley

This match SHOULD have happened at the Wrestival and SHOULD have been for the IWTV Championship but that was then and now Henry gets his match…but now for pure pride. There’s a long delay for Shelley’s entrance…maybe getting in Henry’s head that he wouldn’t appear for their match again? Now that he doesn’t have the title anymore, this crowd is less biased against him. Both guys try to play mind games backing to the ropes and preventing engagement. They finally lock up and start going hold for hold. They both try some heavy stokes but it’s all scouted. Very even so far. Shelley with a fast sequence and lands a solid spinning heel kick to the jaw. Henry returns fire in kind. they start targeting the arms and legs. Shelley with a sick dragon screw out of the    Corner. Yeowwww. Henry trying to come back but that leg is trashed. Henry with a defiant slap, Shelley with another dragon screw. Shelley with a wild multi submission hold that wrench multiple joints painfully. Henry is in trouble but throwing a bird right up in Shelley’s face. Henry hits a dropkick to the arm and starts to fire up. Corner clothesline and a suplex out of the corner. Shelley is fighting it but Henry blasts a PK, double stomps the knee and locks in a figure four! Shelley with shell shock into the middle buckle! Shelley catches the legs, cloverleafs and hits Henry’s own double dragon screw. Henry up and chops Shelley LOUD right to the mat. Shelley tries a roaring elbow, Henry with an enziguri and a German! Double dragon screw on Shelley! Alex doesn’t like that medicine. Trading kicks and testing the mettle of those arms. Henry hits a brain buster that sets off and ABSOLUTELY F***ING FRANTIC final minute of hard shots and pin attempts! Henry comes out the other side with a three on the roll up and the crowd gives this opening contest a standing ovation! This match just dared the rest of the show to follow that. Fantastic high energy and the crowd responded hard. Awesome awesome match to get this show rolling!

Winner: Anthony Henry

Match 2 Kevin Ku(c) (w/ Dominic Garrini) vs Ashton Starr (for the ACTION Championship)

This is the first of two title defenses for Ku tonight! Ku with the lockup and he puts Starr on his butt right off. Starr is smiling at the disrespect, maybe also at Ku thinking him the safer opponent to start the night with. Ashton gets a good shot, Ku with a handshake and forearms the challenger. Gutwrench suplex and locks in a modified surfboard STF. Ashton makes it to the ropes but that was a damned pretzel he was just in. Ku landing some loud chops and Starr is wincing hard. Starr traps the leg of Ku in the rope, pummel the back of the head and a stomp to the calf. Starr working that leg over hard, having found a target. Ku firing back but he’s limping and gets popped into a hot shot and elbows to the floor. Starr with a dive. He wants another but Ku sends him to the apron. Sweep off the mat and a back elbow. Ku almost gets caught getting back on the ring for a realllllly close two. Ashton with a high German and Ku folds almost on his neck. Huge chop to Starr for two. “It would be VERY on-brand for Ku to win with a chop” says Mosley. Ku comes running into a kick. Ku with a suplex, hangs on and a fisherman’s buster. Ku tries a buzzsaw kick, Starr catches it…sharpshooter! It’s deep, Starr pulling him from the ropes, Ku flips it and escapes! Starr misses the axe kick, Ku with a PK, Gutwrench Powerbomb to the knees! Ashton is down for the three! This was really great! 

Winner: Kevin Ku

Match 2: “Sir Knight” Merrik Donovan vs “Number One” Jaden Newman w/ Weron Wade, Pete Youngblood & Carson Dilbeck)

Why DOES Erron Wade need to be taking orders from the Newman squad? Regardless, Newman has a test against Sir Knight. Newman is right in Donovan’s face and reminding him of the result of their last encounter. Donovan remembers and goes RIGHT AT Number One. Big power and a dropkick sends Newman to the floor. Jaden trips up Donovan on the apron skirt and hits a big running pump kick while he’s trapped. Dropkick to the knee as Merrik gets back in the ring. Jaden merciless to that leg, hitting DDT’s on it. If this is a lesson for Erron Wade, he doesn’t want to learn what Jaden is teaching. Newman stomping and choking Sir Knight around the ring. Donovan finally catches a crossbody…worlds strongest slam! Senton for two! Jaden goes right to the eyes. Jaden is cocky and yelling down at Donovan as he swings blindly. Trading some punches and elbows in the pocket…Jaden doesn’t like feeling these. Merrik just shoves Jaden out of the air into the corner and pummels him. Really cool spot! Ripcord backfist to the back of the head. Snapdragon! Double axe handle to the back of the head, Jaden is KO’d! The goons put Jaden’s foot on the rope and blame Erron. Jaden hits a Ricola bomb for two. Flying double knees to the face…Jaden applies the hangman’s clutch and forces Merrik to tap out. Jaden was very in control for a lot of this and still was forced to cheat his way to this W. Love Sir Knight, what he got to show here was good.

Winner: Jaden Newman

Newman is ready to give Erron Wade his next trial. He calls Erron a loser who needs a baby trial. He doesn’t even deserve his own music. He has the perfect opponent for the Baby Dragon. Newman is very interested in letting both these people kill each other.

Match 3: Erron Wade (with Jaden Newman, Carson Dilbeck & Pete Youngblood) vs “The Boozerweight” Matt Sells

The crowd is fired up for the mayor of Tyrone! Sells and Wade get to marching around the ring, Jaden is upset. Erron impressed early but Sells almost locks in the face to mat hump. Erron out and hits a good spinning kick. Sells traps the head and humps the head of Wade into the mat about 30 times. Jaden looks on in horror. Wade goes limp but is able to kick out! Sells with a good back elbow! Wade eating knees and a neckbreaker! Wade with a Michanoku driver! Sells kicks out! Cutter from sells! Kick out! Jaden distracts the ref, Dilbeck tries to interfere. Wade with a crane kick to Dilbeck. Matt Sells blasts the palm strike and starches him for the three. Did Jaden accidentally cost Wade the match here??? Newman walks out on his protege, Sells picks Wade off the mat and gives him a pep talk. Wade looks to be aligning with Sells but Noah Hossman hits the ring and hits a gutwrench powerbomb to Sells. Hossman is with Jaden’s TWE crew. They invite Wade to the party…and shove him to the mat. Hossman replaces the Baby Dragon and they leave him to tend to a fallen Matt Sells.

Winner: Matt Sells

Match 4: M*E*R*C (w/ 2 masked goons) vs “ACEGAWD” Arik Royal

I am LOOKING FORWARD to this. I love MERC’s el generalissimo look. But he’s no ACEGAWD…who is definitely becoming a fan favorite here. Merc wants the crowd to shun this dissident…they want nothing to do with that. Merc tries to ambush Royal but gets stomped to the outside fast. Senton to the outside! Acegawd is just laying in a beatdown. Merc escapes an apron powerbomb and lands a good kick to the head. Ace traps in the ropes and eating heavy kicks. He’s free, big body splash and corner knee! Merc dodges out of the corner, forearm to the throat, flying senton to the back! Ace kicks out! Merc tries a reverse piledriver..Ace out, rebounds..KOBE! Merc is done!

Winner: Arik Royal

Match 5: Suplex Science (Alex Kane & Damyan Tangra) vs Air BnB (Bobby Flaco & Brogan Finlay)

These teams are familiar with each other and we have a hot battle of fan favorite teams. Tangra and Brogan grapple hard through the opening sequence, refusing to release the wrist through several transitions. Finlay picks up speed and send Tangra flying to his partner for a tag. Bobby is fast, rana to the rope, baseball slide over the back to Tangra in the outside. This momentum doesn’t last as Kane catches Flaco out of the air and suplexes him back. Looks like we have an exposed buckle in the Suplex Science corner? SS taking over on Flaco for the beatdown. Bobby makes space with a boot and springboards with a cutter. Tag to Brogan! Cutter to Kane! Tangra taking

Elbows in the corner, dropkick! Big elbow drop! Tangra kicks out! Spin out Michanoku driver to Flaco! Brogan isolated, angle slam for two! SS stuck in the tree of woe, corner pileup. Flying dropkick! Spinning assist ddt to Kane from Air Bnb! Kane fights out of a doomsday device…spear to flaco! Brogan with a knee to Kane. Tangra in. Double crossbody and everyone is down! SUGE D is here with a chair and blasts everyone! Did we forget about the Good Hand again or something? Tangra tries to fight back but Suge hits a brain buster on the chair. Eeeek. 

Winners: No Contest

Suge sits in the chair and watched the crew get the fallen teams out of there. Suge gets the mic and gets the cameraman in the ring. It’s time for a conversation…he’s feeling hurt. And hurt people hurt people. He’s sick of being brushed to the side. Freelance? Beyond? He put bricks in those buildings. But here? Southeast First? This Georgia boy has been forgotten and left behind. Apparently they are too busy with court cases to listen to him. If Suge doesn’t get a piece of the pie, every one is going to starve. They cut him mic and he storms the commentary table. SUGE D FIRST. He yells right into Matt Griffin’s face and vacates as Adam Priest shows up for his actual scheduled match. INCREDIBLE promo. I love Suge in ACTION so much. 

Priest doesn’t know who he’s wrestling? Priest says he’s a Georgia guy now so he’s gonna fight for these people. Who’s it gonna be? 

Match 6: Adam Priest vs Pete Youngblood

It’s worth noting that Youngblood is without his TWE posse. Did they run out of room in the car to the Applebees celebration and leave him behind? Priest is just killing him from the start, embarrassing Youngblood and just yanking his arm to the floor. Priest landing some good shots but Youngblood hits a DVD. Top rope standing elbow connects! Kick out! Priest with a powerslam and brain buster ends this quickly. Good high energy short match! Cheering for Priest is STILL WEIRD for me. 

Winner: Adam Priest

Priest continues his promo…he says he’s shown what he can do. Whoever ACTION wants to bring in, he wants them. Matt Griffin grabs the mic and says he IS bringing someone in. On June 10th? Adam Priest gets some competition….in JD Drake! Hellllllll yeah.

We also get a match announcement for May 21st…AC Mack vs Alan Angels! Will it be for the IWTV Championship??? 

Match 7: Violence is Forever(Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrini)(c) vs The Skulk (Adrian Alanis & Liam Gray) (for the ACTION tag team Championships)

The Skulk got themselves DQ’d last month. WHY do they get another shot? They bring chairs to the ring to wait for the champs….who they assume will try to ambush them from the crowd again. ViF holds the tag gold in four different promotions currently so the Skulk might have their work cut out for them if they want to take even one of those belts and not sacrifice the match this time. Ku gets locked up by Gray, who focused on that leg Ashton Starr softened up earlier. Alanis tries to capitalize but Ku escapes and tags in Dom. Dom in hot but the Skulk uses the numbers game as Ku can’t help. Gray and Alanis working over the limb of Garrini. Dom fights free, big roaring elbow drops Liam. Tag to Ku! He’s fired up! Angle slam variation! ViF goes for Total elimination but no dice. Alanis with a Tiger driver to Ku, kickout! Alanis eats Total Elimination but Ku can’t cover right with his leg. Dom landing horribly painful chest kicks. Alanis back drops Dom out of a piledriver.  Dom so close to tapping Alanis…Liam with a splash off the top! Dom holding steady as Liam really trying to close this out. Alanis grabs the chair again. He tosses the chair to Liam. Liam swings, Dom misses, Liam

Blasts himself. ViF with a spike piledriver! Liam kicks out?!? VIF goes for Chasing the Dragon…Skulk intercepts and hits one of their own! Ku kicks out! Liam sent to the corner. Dropkick German. ViF wraps the skulk in a triangle choke and reverse dragon sleeper. They both go to sleep and ViF wins this awesome title match!

Winners: Violence is Forever

Main Event: “The Mack of All Trades” AC Mack(c) vs “The Alternative” Anthony Greene (for the IWTV World Championship)

It’s AC vs AG for the IWTV in GA! Tonight is Greene’s 10-year anniversary as a wrestler and he is coming down from the Northeast to take this belt. But this enemy territory and he is not getting the hero’s welcome he is used to. AC Mack…that’s the man Tyrone wants. Mack arrives with his OWA, Unsanctioned Pro and IWTV belts in tow. Action is collecting belts right now and Mack needs Scott Hensley AND Ref Shiny Shoes to hold all that weight. Mack respects all that Greene has done for 10 years…but he’s not taking this belt. AG disagrees and superkicks Mack during his self intro…AG HITS THE MACK 10! AC kicks out!!! What a start! What a way to make sure this crowd knows he should be booed. Greene chopping on the apron but overcommits and chops post. Mack caught in a tree of woe off the apron…superkick to the face! “This is my house Mack!” AG misses the top rope cross body! Mack lands to own crossbody! A pair dives to the outside and a knee of the apron! Huge Southeast First chants! Spear to AG! Trading right hands and kicks! Back and forth lariats, ddts, knees. Fast pace, Green me tries the tornado Unprettier but Mack counters. Flying kick to the corner! Mack misses a clothesline to the corner, Green with a butterfly suplex out of the ropes…two count! AG to the top, Mack spins up, enziguri! Greene tries a sunset flip powerbomb…settles for a head trap superkick. Powerbomb! Chicken wing slam! Half crab! Greene sinks in and Mack is in DEEEEEEEP! AG slapping at the knee of Mack but cant end it. Mack kicks him hard and Greene tumbles to the floor. Mack’s knee is f***ed as he hobbles. He tries to come at AG but gets DDT’d to the apron! Tornado Unprettier! Mack kicks out! AG with a rollup into the buckles. He tries to pull Mack up, reverse into the Mack 10! AG kicks out! AG yells “Northeast First” defiantly. Mack blasts him with a knee. One more time for the Mack 10 and AG is down for the three! Excellent main event. Loved this!

Winner: AC Mack

Arik Royal is out here. He congratulates the champ but says on June 10th, Royal is going to take that IWTV belt the same way he took the ACTION title from him over a year ago. He comes at him with the ask though and Mack responds with an emphatic YAYYAYEEEEEE.

And that’s it for Jawbreakers, this show was great. Highly watchable at a little over two and a half hours. Huge title matches, bangers abounded, big story beats. Everyone showed out here and went for broke, especially that absolutely manic opener. The crowd was great, the production was great. Watch the damn show. This Monday, Uncharted Territory kicks off its 4th season from Chattanooga and we just set the table for some awesome action here for several weeks to come. Watch. This. Damn. Show.

 

As for Monday? I’ll be watching. Until then!
