Bristol 27<\/strong>\/04\/2019<\/strong>     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Ciaran James@<\/strong>TheCiaranJames<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave Mercy emerged from behind the curtain for the first time since January, he explained that Merlin would no longer be serving as General Manager and the role would be given to someone new shortly. These types of explanations are always difficult for a promotion, Dave delivered it well as we wish Merlin the best as Chaos moves on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chaos generator span, and to the delight of all in attendance Eddie Dennis was now the new Chaos GM. This was a shrewd move from Chaos and the kick-start the promotion needed after last month, this was very warmly received.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Boar def. Jay Joshua<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a great opener to Total Chaos; the Chaos veteran Boar faced the challenge of Chaos debutant Jay Joshua. These two were made for one another, their hard hitting, stiff\/shoot styles were perfectly matched. Boar began the better, literally mauling his opponent and gaining the upper hand, this was Boar at his best. Jay settled and kicked his way back into the match, his shoot style has gained fire this year and he again no doubt impressed the audience. You have to commend Jay on his style, the fact he\u2019s been able to differentiate himself from the high flyer style that many of his colleague’s use is commendable. He came back at Boar with some great strikes and stunning Suplexes, every wrestling style has a place but I personally love the shoot style gimmick Jay exhibits. They exchanged strikes; the audience were in favour of Boar but JJ held his own against the more experienced opponent. After a spirited display Jay finally fell like many to Boar\u2019s Trapper Keeper (Cradle Piledriver) for the win.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cara Noir def. Danny Jones<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second contest featured the return of Danny Jones to the promotion, who looked excellent here. His opponent was the alternative Cara Noir, this was very competitive and featured a variation of wrestling styles. Both were impressive but Danny Jones looked great here, everything he touched turned to gold, some of the sequences were fantastic. Cara seemed to have more offence overall but when Danny hit back, he made it count, his in-ring repertoire has got better and really showed a new side of himself here. This was the Danny Jones that outlasted all members of the Brotherhood in November, he gave a great account of himself. Noir looked good also, his offence is very snug as he laid into Danny with kicks, and at one point he even stuck his finger up the nose of jones! Danny reacted with a flowing move set, strikes, knees, kicks, unfortunately it would not be enough as Noir caught him in what seemed to be a Chickenwing for the tapout victory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar Dunkerton def. Eddie Ryan w\/Pariah Khan<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was pure comedy, the highlight for me was Pariah Khan\u2019s rendition of Batista\u2019s \u201cI walk alone\u201d entrance theme as a replacement for Eddie\u2019s usual music. Sugar D received a warm welcome as he danced his way to the ring, personally this wasn\u2019t for me but I can understand how those who appreciated such comedy would enjoy. The first few minutes were fun but it dragged, it went too long and boredom set in. The contest was based on Ryan\u2019s obvious power game, compared to Sugar\u2019s lack of power, this made for a few laughs but again it went on\u2026and on. Once the hilarity settled it was clear Eddie was losing, the feel-good attitude of Sugar D was winning out and he did exactly that with a roll up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

King <\/strong>of Chaos Championship <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Drake \u00a9 def. Flash Morgan Webster<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once Flash was in the ring new GM Eddie Dennis declared the final contest would be for the King of Chaos title, Drake was livid as a smile appeared on the face of Webster. The audience were all over this, the beloved Flash against the despised James Drake, the atmosphere grew for this match as the old rivals duelled once more. Entertaining as it was this was too familiar, these two have met in numerous matches and I didn\u2019t personally feel this added anything to their ongoing feud. What it did do perfectly was set up what was to come towards the end of the contest. Drake and flash were solid, the match wasn\u2019t bad at all and it built towards some great heated moments as Drake grounded Flash. The Modfather rallied and turned the tables, Drake however attempted to use the belt, he was distracted by Eddie Dennis who warned him not to. Dick Riley then returned and nearly took the champs head off with a huge Superkick, Flash made the cover as Eddie then pulled the referee from the ring, Dick went AWOL and went for Eddie, who then reminded him he was fired. Flash was stunned, as were the audience as Drake took out Webster with his corner dropkick and his patented Sit-Out DDT to retain his title.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Dennis Promo<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Drake left ringside, title in hand, Eddie took the microphone and commenced his heel turn. This was special, Eddie who for me is one of the best promo\u2019s in the United Kingdom let loose and delivered a masterclass. He was terrific as he vented on the audience, he explained that he was scheduled to fly to\u00a0Wrestlemania\u00a035 after Chaos in March, but the injury he suffered that night took that dream away. He spoke about the fickle audience and their attitudes; he wonderfully used every negative from Chaos\u2019 last show and weaved it into arguably one of the best promos of 2019. Finally, the heel Eddie Dennis is here, and he\u2019s just getting started.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knights of Chaos Tag Team Championship *Title Change*<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beano\/Paul Robinson def. Project Superbad (Martin Kirby\/Kip Sabian) \u00a9 <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once Beano made his way to the ring you knew which way this was going, the odd couple of pairing of Beano and Paul Robinson is sure to be full of twists and turns. This was also most probably Kip Sabian\u2019s last Chaos appearance for quite some time as he sets his sights on pastures new with AEW. Both Kirby and Sabian are money, they were always slick, professional and at the top of their game. Beano and Paul played off each other really well, their good\/bad guy personalities made for some great moments and will they, won\u2019t they scenarios. All four of these men are exceptionally talented, and in this match, it shone through, the chemistry was tremendous. Project Superbad have never looked better; they work so well together and produce some free-flowing tag team segments. Paul kept demanding that Beano give into the dark side but it didn\u2019t wash with the NP44 native. Once Paul entered the fray the action ramped up, he grabbed the belt ready to strike his opponents, Beano jumped back in the ring and wrestled the belt away. Beano in then a moment of rage and confusion struck Sabian, Paul reacted first and covered the prone champion. And there we have it, new tag team champions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Sterling def. Mike Bird<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many this was a meeting of two of the top stars of Pro Wrestling Chaos, when the bell rings Bird & Sterling are two of the very best on the roster and on the UK independent scene. This was a tussle; both are well respected by the audience and it showed with full attention being given to both men. They went back and forth early on, neither man could gain the upper hand, there was much anticipation for this but for me it was missing something. As good as this was it lacked that one moment that would have propelled it. The wrestling was good, the exchanges were even better, it was like they were both too good that they cancelled each other out. Looking ahead I would like to see both Sterling and Bird entered into this year\u2019s HTTT ladder match, they both have the credentials and deserve the opportunity. There was no clear winner as the contest continued, however it was Charlie Sterling that took his moment as he hit Bird with a Second Rope Styles Clash, followed by Spiral Tap for victory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maiden of Chaos Championship Fatal-4-Way<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jinny \u00a9 def. Gisele Shaw, Nina Samuels, Killer Kelly<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jinny finally appeared and defended her title (shock) her opponents were Nina Samuels and debutants Killer Kelly and Gisele Shaw. Thank the lucky stars this match was in Kings Oak as it was the atmosphere that saved it, some of the audience seemed to enjoy it but personally I thought it was mediocre at best. The audience didn\u2019t seem interested in Jinny, Nina Samuels wasn\u2019t over in the slightest and Killer Kelly was unknown to the majority. Gisele, thanks to her appearances locally at Dragon Pro, Evo and ATTACK received the best response by far. The exchanges were sloppy, the offence from some was shocking, and overall it was just best for business that Jinny be stripped of the title. Alas Jinny managed to take advantage and retain\u2026..She then cut a blistering promo and scathed the audience, truly 18 rated content indeed\u2026..as she celebrated the Chaos generator kicked into life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maiden of Chaos Championship<\/strong> *Title Change*<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shax<\/strong> def. Jinny<\/strong> \u00a9<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seemed that all of Shax\u2019s work had paid off, she entered the ring and seemingly was there to challenge for the title. Shax with momentum on her side struck quickly and defeated Jinny, the audience erupted into applause as the new champ celebrated. Decent ending to a fine return to form for Pro Wrestling Chaos. <\/p>\n\n\n
