Match 1: Ichiban vs Mortar

Willow Nightingale is unfortunately out today (but she’s in the commentary rotation) and we’re running back a crazy match from this past week’s Wrestling Open! Ichiban shotguns him right into the buckles and has Mortar off his feet early. Mortar starts showing power and just flings Ichiban around. A couple these throws were great and got the prized “you still suck” chant. Goodness I hope someone giffed one of these. Ichiban coming back! Mortar picks him out of the sky with a huge toss. The crowd is all over Mortimer and he just keeps beating on our number one. Mortar heads to the top…you don’t belong there! Ichiban tosses him off and starts to unload! Missile dropkick!

Aaron up for the chokebomb but he escapes out the back door and turns it into a destroyer for the win!

Winner: Aaron Rourke

Match 3: “The Big Boofa” Dezmond Cole vs “Everyone’s Favorite Homeboy” Kris Brady

This is a bit of a mirror match! Even Boofa know they have similarities…but he wants to know if Brady can get down.

Match 4: Fancy Ryan Clancy vs Big Bacon Brad Hollister 

Brad is ALL EGO tonight. Working the crowd and mocking Clancy. Fancy traps the arm and Bacon goes 120mph trying to escape…and can’t. He cheap shots out of the corner but Clancy is all over him. Cartwheel reversals! The crowd bets Bacon can’t do one. He can’t. Bacon catches a hard German and he takes over the hard beatdown of the fancy one. Huge slams and Bacon is mugging for the camera. Fancy firing back…huge cross body for two! Ryan sent to the floor, Bacons gonna bomb him down there. He posts Clancy and throws him into a trash can.

Match 6: Above the Rest (Gabe Skye & Tristan Thai) vs YoKai (Yoya & Janai Kai) 

Let’s throw some KICKS! Yoya and Gabe can’t figure out how to properly show their sportsmanship…which leads to a literal “fisting” chant. Wrestling, y’all. They get to it and it’s VERY even.

Match 11: Sidney Bakabella vs Matt Tremont(c) (for the IWTV championship) 

Bakabella is out here wearing Amazon packing bags as armor. We call him a bubble boy. He is TERRIFIED…but at least he looks dry. Bakabella almost gets himself counted out he does not want this fight. He grabs the mic. Mr. T! He doesn’t want to do this, and offers to borrow $20 from Denver Colorado to cover Matt’s booking fee. Wowwwwww. He just wants to go to Ponderosa. Matt considers Ponderosa and shakes Sidney’s hand so hard his bubbles start popping. Matt heads out of the ring to f*** him up. Sidney tries to run. Sidney tries to hide. He tries to take a shot at the champ? Tremont with the big slam. Huge chest chop cracks through the building. 

Sidney slips on the floor. Did he just get injured?!? They throw up the X oh nooooooo. The refs are helping him to the back as Channing Thomas hits the ring and blasts Tremont in the head with brass knuckles! Bakabella is fine! He comes running back to the ring and covers Matt Tremont for the three! 

WHAAAAAT?!?!?

Bakabella is our new IWTV CHAMP?!? Him and Channing are celebrating in the ring as a shocked Worcester crowd descends into madness, fueled by a world where Sidney Bakabella is the IWTV champ.

The refs are conversing. They know something’s up and know Channing was involved. They cancel the decision and restart the match! 

Tremont tosses Channing and drops Bakabella. He hits a legdrop and knocks Sidney’s wig off for the win. Wow. Wowww.

Winner: Matt Tremont

So was that a RESTART…or a REMATCH?
