Knights of Chaos Tag Team Championship Match<\/b><\/p>\n

Crazy\u00a0<\/b>TeaCups<\/b>\u00a0(Eddie Ryan\/Charlie Sterling) w\/Pariah Khan \u00a9 def. Project\u00a0<\/b>Lucha<\/b>\u00a0(Martin Kirby\/El\u00a0<\/b>Ligero<\/b>)<\/b><\/p>\n

The opening contest was surely intended to warm the audience up, with the participants involved it was sure to be a competitive match. Crazy\u00a0TeaCups\u00a0are a polished act and\u00a0routinely\u00a0have arguably\u00a0the match of the night, usually because of the antics and in ring contributions of Charlie Sterling. As good as both teams were here the match fell short, this was partly due the fact of the\u00a0match not really coming together overall and an underperforming Project\u00a0Lucha, and we have seen them better. Sterling once more was the MVP of the match, he works well with all and looks at ease doing it. Kirby and\u00a0Ligero\u00a0ran through the motions, they looked slick and had many close falls. The\u00a0match built\u00a0with both teams scoring close near falls, the audience were split\u00a0between\u00a0both teams as the action came to a close. After everyone stormed the ring, Sterling and Ryan disposed of Kirby and hit\u00a0Ligero\u00a0with a Spike Piledriver to retain.<\/p>\n

Drew Parker def. Split\u00a0<\/b>McPins<\/b><\/p>\n

As loved as Splits is, he being the opponent of Drew was a little underwhelming, but then\u00a0again,\u00a0he proved a good foil for Drew to defeat and look strong. The match was good,\u00a0both had a fair share of\u00a0offence but ultimately the point was to make Drew look dangerous and prepare him for the return of Mike Bird. Splits had the audience behind up, Drew plays the heel really well and manages to turn the audience with his actions. Drew seems to improve with every appearance, he stays true to his character and\u00a0it\u00a0benefits his act. He gained victory via Piledriver in an impressive showing.\u00a0Post-match\u00a0he\u00a0cut a really good promo, he was really good on the microphone and held his own.<\/p>\n

Maiden of Chaos Championship Match<\/b><\/p>\n

Jinny \u00a9 def. Xia Brookside<\/b><\/p>\n

Like the opener this was another match that didn\u2019t quite come together, Jinny just didn\u2019t look motivated and therefore it harmed the contest. I wasn\u2019t a huge admirer of Xia before this, I first saw her in June 2017 at Kamikaze and\u00a0wasn\u2019t blown away, and however, Xia has improved and look good here. The match was well received by the majority, I\u2019m personally not a huge fan of woman\u2019s wrestling so it has to really be something special for me to like it, and however it was passable. The action was back and forth, both played their roles well and suited their face and heel personas, Xia\u2019s never say die attitude and interactions with the audience were decent and enamoured her to the fans in attendance.<\/p>\n

Pete Dunne def. Mark Haskins<\/b><\/p>\n

For many this was the main event, two of the United\u00a0Kingdom’s\u00a0premier\u00a0performers gave\u00a0us a match to remember, however I felt it fell short. This contest was very good, both are excellent in the ring, my issue was the efforts of Pete Dunne, who seemed to be running through his greatest hits. I felt it was the\u00a0tenacity of Mark Haskins that\u00a0really made this match memorable, from his\u00a0in-ring\u00a0actions to his arrogant manner he was fantastic. The audience\u00a0were split but due to Pete Dunne\u2019s\u00a0success\u00a0he was\u00a0the\u00a0overall face, the audience were well and truly in his corner. I still don\u2019t see how Dunne is a face, everything he does screams heel, Haskins however took the heel role on with great panache and excelled. The momentum swung back and forth, due to Pete\u2019s dominance early on I expected a Haskins victory, how wrong I was, they went back and forth with counter after counter. The action spilled to the outside as they both beat one another, Haskins was\u00a0personally\u00a0introduced\u00a0to the\u00a0audience\u00a0after being thrown by Dunne. Haskins had a long period of dominance, where it\u00a0seemed the win was his, this came to a Bitter End when Dunne claimed victory. Although a decent contest, it\u00a0would\u00a0have made more sense for Haskins to win if he\u2019s sticking around, Dunne is untouchable and a defeat would have not harmed him. The\u00a0interference\u00a0of Beano was\u00a0unnecessary, this was a match that you leave alone, however the booking seemed to suggest Dunne couldn\u2019t win without help? Excellent overall.<\/p>\n

No1\u00a0Contenders\u00a0Match<\/b><\/p>\n

Dick Riley def. Wild Boar<\/b><\/p>\n

Again,\u00a0this was another contest that could have been so much better, both Riley and Boar are excellent in ring workers but it just didn\u2019t have that big match feel. The presence of\u00a0Kaggy\u00a0didn\u2019t add\u00a0anything\u00a0to the match, I\u2019m still confused with her relationship with Boar, what\u2019s the purpose of it? Like the last twelve months Riley was super over, he has the audience in his hand and they love him. The\u00a0match\u00a0clicked at times and the action flowed, both hit some stiff looking shots and some sick looking moves, the Piledriver on the ring\u00a0apron from Boar to Dick\u00a0especially looked nasty, the audience gasped.\u00a0Kaggy\u00a0attempted to interfere on more than once occasion, but was thwarted by Riley who managed to avoid being taken blindsided. This was the right\u00a0result,\u00a0the time is right for Riley to finally get that one on one opportunity, the build of Dick Riley as the next King is nearly complete. As stated above the expectancy of this match I felt was huge, it felt like it didn\u2019t move beyond 2nd gear. Overall it was decent and the result was what everyone wanted.<\/p>\n

Brotherhood (James Drake\/LK\u00a0<\/b>Mezinger<\/b>) def. Modern Culture (Flash Morgan Webster\/Danny Jones)<\/b><\/p>\n

This is another feud which has seemed to run\u00a0its\u00a0course, I\u2019ve forgotten why they are even in\u00a0disagreement\u00a0with one another. As good as Modern Culture were, their return has not been able to capture that original feeling they\u00a0first\u00a0had, same goes for The Brotherhood who were dead and buried before James Drake arrived on the scene. Both Drake and Webster are\u00a0individually\u00a0bigger and better than their respective groups, since signing with WWE they have become top tier top guys for\u00a0Independent\u00a0companies such as\u00a0Pro Wrestling\u00a0Chaos. The match was good, it ticked all the boxes as each competitor ran through\u00a0their\u00a0repertoires,\u00a0similar\u00a0to their leaders both Danny Jones &\u00a0Mezinger\u00a0would be better used elsewhere. LK needs to be paired with Elijah, their exploits in Dragon Pro and Attack have\u00a0solidified\u00a0their\u00a0strengths\u00a0as a tag team. For Danny Jones a singles run is calling, he has the size, skill and appetite to mix it up near the top of the card. This was at the level you would\u00a0expect from these four, the action was good but didn\u2019t add anything to the\u00a0ongoing feud.<\/p>\n

King of Chaos Championship Match<\/b><\/p>\n

Big Grizzly \u00a9 def. Eddie Dennis<\/b><\/p>\n

Thanks to the atmosphere throughout this match, this easily tops the card as\u00a0potentially one of\u00a0the\u00a0matches of the\u00a0evening. The audience were at fever pitch for this grudge match, the chants went back and forth for champion and challenger as the ring announcer struggled to get noticed. The match flowed well, Eddie looked pumped and more than ready, Big Grizzly fed off this, plus Eddie was the right opponent for Grizzly. Both had their fair share of offence, Eddie more than I expected to be honest, the booking placed both at loggerheads with one another. Neither man seemed to play the heel role, Grizzly doesn\u2019t really push the boundaries of being a face or heel, he had a good amount of support from the\u00a0live\u00a0audience. Eddie looked very good here, he looks stronger, leaner and his character work is exceptional, the two traded heavy blows and big moves. This was as motivated as I\u2019ve seen\u00a0Grizz\u00a0as champion, this was far better than his effort with Walter in June, there were a few rest periods but not enough to slow the contest down. The match went to the outside where again the action was hard hitting, Eddie via\u00a0Grizzly felt\u00a0the ring apron as Eddie\u00a0successfully\u00a0slammed Grizzly on the floor. Both were feeling the\u00a0effects\u00a0of this match, they returned to the ring and continued to trade blows, Grizzly showed great\u00a0resistance\u00a0to Eddie\u2019s Lariats. As the match neared\u00a0its\u00a0conclusion the decision was close, Eddie\u00a0looked strong but Grizzly battled through, finally retaining clean via a top rope Two-Handed Powerbomb, 1, 2, and 3.<\/p>\n

Post-Match:\u00a0<\/b>Unexpectedly Dick Riley emerged to confront Big Grizzly, however they were quickly attacked\u00a0expectedly\u00a0by the Brotherhood, it seemed Drake had chosen his time…but that was\u00a0short-lived\u00a0as Modern Culture arrived to drive the heels away. As the dust settled, Grizzly and Dick stood, they\u00a0tentatively\u00a0shook hands before the Champion\u00a0viciously\u00a0smashed the title\u00a0into the head of Riley.<\/p>\n
