By Ciaran James@TheCiaranJames<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Prelude:<\/b><\/p>\n In the last four months Pro Wrestling Chaos have had some unexpected setbacks, top singles star Eddie Dennis got injured, as did Maiden of Chaos Jinny, Travis Banks pulled out of their February show and last but not least Matt Riddle couldn’t attend this past Saturday due to passport issues and was stripped of the King of Chaos Championship. There is no denying that many plans were thrown into disarray, and from that Dave Mercy had to make many difficult decisions.<\/p>\n Show Opening:<\/b><\/p>\n Dave Mercy opened the show by\u00a0announcing\u00a0that Jinny had not be cleared to wrestle, that was very\u00a0unfortunate\u00a0as she stands alone as one of the UK’s finest female performers. In Jinny’s\u00a0absence\u00a0Sierra Loxton would take on the challenge of former WWE superstar Emma. We then moved onto the elephant in the room the King of Chaos Championship, before Dave could\u00a0further\u00a0elaborate Big Grizzly made his way to the ring. He demanded that he be crowned the new champion by using his Heir 2 The Throne briefcase to cash in, after much back and forth Dave allowed Grizzly to claim the title, he then announced that it would be defended\u00a0in a Triple Threat match with Jeff Cobb and Dick Riley.<\/p>\n Bane def. Flash Morgan Webster<\/b><\/p>\n In his\u00a0in-ring\u00a0return to Pro Wrestling Chaos, Flash Morgan Webster took on the challenge of Brotherhood member Bane, Flash\u00a0received\u00a0a hero’s welcome as Bane was heckled by many fans at ringside. The match was good, Flash kept the action flowing as the once\u00a0awkward\u00a0looking Bane held his own. The larger Bane controlled the opening contest as he grounded the\u00a0high-flying\u00a0Webster, the story of the match was told well and the audience reacted to the\u00a0in-ring\u00a0action accordingly. In what many presumed should have been a clean Flash victory were shockingly incorrect, via interference from members of the\u00a0Brotherhood\u00a0Bane scored the upset victory and maybe the biggest of his career.<\/p>\n Wild Boar w\/<\/b>Kaggy<\/b>\u00a0def. Beano<\/b><\/p>\n In the last three weeks I’ve seen these two men wrestle (not each other<\/i>) every weekend, between Dragon Pro and Attack they’ve arguably had the best match on the card. Beano’s fanbase is growing in the South West, he’s likeable, talented and can talk, he has a very bright future. Boar who returned to Chaos in January has had a slow start and seems to be embroiled in a feud with Gideon, which\u00a0unfortunately\u00a0I don\u2019t think will do much in the terms of career progression in Chaos for him. The match was solid, both are very good versatile wrestlers but the buzz was missing from this one, neither man wrestled like we all know they can and it showed. Outside interference from\u00a0Kaggy\u00a0and a nasty looking\u00a0SitDown\u00a0Piledriver from Boar cost him the match. Beano will bounce back from this and no doubt continue his progression up the card. The Boar and\u00a0Kaggy\u00a0tandem has potential, but after four months we are still yet to find out their purpose.<\/p>\n Alex Steele attacked Eddie Dennis<\/b><\/p>\n In the continuing Alex Steele\/Eddie Dennis feud we next saw a vicious attack from Alex on Eddie Dennis and Oliver Sudden via a crutch. The segment was solid, I wasn’t sure if Steele was laughing manically or breaking character during his promo, Eddie who has become a super solid character since turning full time played it well. It was loveable comedy character Oliver Sudden who saved Eddie from a beating, however that plan backfired when Alex took out his frustrations on the young Welshman. Overall a really solid segment, but you can\u2019t help feel the Alex is small fry compared to the heights Eddie Dennis is hitting and will continue to once cleared to wrestle again.<\/p>\n Tenille<\/b>\u00a0Dashwood def. Sierra Loxton<\/b><\/p>\n Former WWE superstar (Emma)\u00a0Tenille\u00a0Dashwood made her Chaos debut, she was\u00a0originally\u00a0scheduled to face Jinny but the match fell through because Jinny was not cleared from injury. Her replacement was Sierra Loxton, who once more failed to turn up to the dance, again her lack of personality and\u00a0overall character was lacking, why exactly is\u00a0she freaky?\u00a0Tenille\u00a0Dashwood was no better, except for a few flashy moves you would\u00a0struggle\u00a0to believe she’d been through NXT and appeared on WWE’s main roster. The match had\u00a0its moments but overall was not a thrilling contest, the quick squash match between Jinny and Sofia Ari in\u00a0January blew this away. Sierra seemed to forget to build up speed as she skipped around the ring before the “big” chair spot at ringside, the\u00a0believability\u00a0left the room.<\/p>\n Knights of Chaos Tag Team Championship Match<\/b><\/p>\n Mike Bird & Drew Parker def. Charlie Sterling\/Eddie Ryan & The Brotherhood (LK\u00a0<\/b>Mezinger<\/b>\/Elijah) \u00a9<\/b><\/p>\n This was without question the match of the\u00a0night, Sterling may not have won the match but he stole the show and was the MVP of the evening. This was from start to finish\u00a0amazing, everyone pulled their weight and put together one of the most entertaining Tag Team Matches of 2018. Mike Bird & Drew Parker have come together really well, they look polished and earned the win, Bird for one looked back to his best on this\u00a0night, the Riddle match was a milestone for him last year and he looked as good on Saturday. Joe &\u00a0Elijah\u00a0continue to build upon their\u00a0tandem\u00a0that exists in Dragon Pro\u00a0and now\u00a0Attack Wrestling, I hope even in defeat they can push on and evolve as characters. The glue in all of this was Charlie Sterling who\u00a0alongside\u00a0Eddie Ryan were phenomenal, their pacing, acting and timing was flawless, as entertaining as\u00a0Sterling is, he deserves more. Charlie carries with him that x-factor, but when the bell rings he steps up, as far as I’m\u00a0concerned,\u00a0he should be mixing it up with Dick Riley,\u00a0Grizz\u00a0and Eddie Dennis by year end. Great match, wonderful\u00a0storytelling\u00a0and a satisfying finish, wrestling at\u00a0its\u00a0finest.<\/p>\n Gideon def. Brendan White<\/b><\/p>\n Unfortunately for the talented Brendan White Saturday can be forgotten, this match dragged and was the\u00a0opposite\u00a0of what came before it. Brendan who in the last few months faced off against Pete\u00a0Dunne and Danny Jones at Dragon Pro, looked mediocre here. This was clunky, Gideon just doesn\u2019t\u00a0elicit\u00a0the reaction he\u00a0thinks\u00a0he does and doesn\u2019t bring out the best in people. Brendan who has built his reputation on a\u00a0hard hitting\u00a0suplex\u00a0style couldn’t get past first gear on Saturday, some of the audience who are not well versed with the South West region failed to\u00a0recognise\u00a0him, add to that a slow match and it spells disaster. Gideon went over via hard hitting Muscle Buster.<\/p>\n Following the match, both\u00a0Kaggy\u00a0and Boar appeared and goaded Gideon by attacking Sierra with a Kendo Stick,\u00a0Gideon ran to her aid. This surely means we’ve not seen the last of Gideon vs Boar….oh joy.<\/p>\n King of Chaos Fatal-4-Way Elimination Match<\/b><\/p>\n Big Grizzly \u00a9 def. Jeff Cobb, James Drake & Dick Riley<\/b><\/p>\n This for me bought back memories of the main event of\u00a0WrestleMania\u00a016 in 2000, with all that had happened the evening was set for a happy ending, and that would have been Dick Riley holding high the King of Chaos Championship.\u00a0Unfortunately\u00a0for many fans that would not be the\u00a0case, with\u00a0the way the order of elimination and controversial finish I was left scratching my head. Prior to the match\u00a0beginning,\u00a0James Drake\u00a0threatened\u00a0his way into the match after forcing the hand of Dave Mercy, this only added to the confusion. Jeff Cobb, one of the finest pure wrestlers on the\u00a0independent scene was criminally wasted, after a few impressive throws he was discarded to the back. We settled in for a wild ride as\u00a0Grizz\u00a0and Drake agreed to dispatch Dick Riley, the action was good and the main event was satisfying in some ways. The match was built around Riley’s\u00a0resilience, he withstood much punishment but still kept\u00a0kicking out.<\/p>\n James Drake has yet to do\u00a0anything\u00a0of merit since debuting, he took part here but never did anything to warrant a championship opportunity. Drake was eliminated next\u00a0after\u00a0Flash Morgan\u00a0Webster’s music\u00a0distracted\u00a0him, he stormed off backstage in\u00a0search\u00a0of Modern Culture. That left Dick and\u00a0Grizz, we had two ref bumps, title shots, briefcase shots, multiple\u00a0kick outs, everything but the kitchen sink! This contest revolved around Riley, he showed great character as he continued to stay in the fight, the audience were all for Riley as it seemed inevitable he\u00a0would\u00a0win. Another referee entered the fray but he too found himself\u00a0unconscious\u00a0via briefcase\u00a0to the head! This left it wide open as Grizzly once more struck Riley with the case, and as luck would have it the original ref recovered just in time to count Dick’s shoulders down as Grizzly retained.<\/p>\n You can follow me\u00a0Ciaran James@TheCiaranJames<\/a><\/b>\u00a0for South West Wrestling coverage<\/p>\n For further previews, reviews, interviews and news on the UK Independent Scene check out\u00a0ProWrestlingJournal<\/a><\/p>\n If you were unable to attend and would like to see the event, Chaos events can now be viewed @\u00a0https:\/\/powerbomb.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n
