Santos doesn’t have a tag partner to dance with tonight so he’s gonna have to face the taxman alone. CPA has a problem : He’s going to a wedding soon and he needs to learn how to dance. Santos is down to dance. He offers to let Santos off the hook with claiming this dance instructor income on his taxes if he wins. We chant TAX FRAUD and Santos is down for this.

They shake at the end and have a little dance. Santos dips him! This was ridiculous but a lot of fun.

Match 5: “The Shore Thing” Ray Jaz vs “Da Big Boofa” Dezmond Cole

Worcester has clearly missed booing Ray Jaz for the last two weeks, we saved up our (my) vitriol for this. We wanna chant for Boofa but Ray Jaz keeps winning and we have to boo him so much. Drape over the top rope, Jaz kicks him off. Jaz sent briefly to the apron but he slingshot sunsetflips over into a backslide pin for the win. I HATE how clean that was. Ugh. Ray Jaz.

Match 8: The Stetson Ranch (Steven Stetson & Brett Ryan Gosling w/ his trusty steed Clip Clop) and “Dreamcrusher” Danny Miles vs Miracle Generation (Kylon King & Ichiban w/ Dustin Waller) and 1 Called Manders

Stetson is not happy. It didn’t go well the last time he crossed paths with Manders. They take turns putting on Manders’ hat. Kylon steals BRG’s hat and wears it better. This is just a hat wearing competition. It’s great. BRG with a big strut around the ring with King until he gets LAUNCHED with a German. Stetson tries to save it but gets dragged right down.

Kylon dropped in the corner but dodges the cannonball. Stetson too busy getting in Miles’ face to notice

Manders behind him. He vacates, Kylon suicide dives after him, Manders hits a lariat for three!

Winners: Miracle Generation & Manders

It’s WORLD CLASS time.

So uh….we have a Deathmatch? With Bakabella? Wait no, he tries to join commentary. Paul Crockett. Wants nothing to do with it and just leaves Bakabella solo in the booth to go…take a s*** or something. Who is is the World Class opponent? Crockett returns, saying he has to be a professional. 

Match 9: World Class Channing Thomas vs Sigma (Death Match)

Running dropkick to the corner! Northern lights toss! Piledriver! Thomas asks Sidney for the pizza cutter. He holds it up and drops an elbow to get the pin. This was the most world class death match.

Winner: Channing Thomas

Channing Thomas uses the pizza cutter as a hand mirror. Bakabella says SLADE can’t do what Thomas does. Next week? We keep the Death Match train going! Fans Bring the Weapons! On his way out, Bakabella yells at a small child and threatens to thrown his stroller out the fire door. Magic.

Pedro Dones is out here but decided that Tina San Antonio wasn’t needed to take out the likes of the Flavortown Toy Brigade. He has a replacement making her return to Worcester though!

Match 10: Teddy Goodz & Little Mean Kathleen vs Pedro Dones & “The God Queen” Delmi Exo

Dones lets Exo start once Goodz shows he’s game to kick this off. LMK wants a piece of the queen though. LMK sends her to the corners and jogs her chest into the mat for two.

Hollister goes for it again, Price with gut punches….Hollister blasts headbutts and lands literally the best looking superplex through a door I’ve ever seen. I’ll track down a gif. Here we go.
