(Dalton Castle is backstage hearing the boos from the audience as The Boys have a steady breeze going as he adjusts a blue t-shirt in the mirror of the locker room.)
"Looks like your past can come to haunt ya." Jason stated as he walks in with his world title on the right shoulder.
"Oh right…you're the esteemed world champion which baffles my mind considering you have only wrestled two matches in this company. I've competed for my share of fame back in Ring of Honor and have become the top of the food chain." Dalton stated.
"Well, I'm just known for being damn good at what I do and this is only a testament to it. I honestly didn't think it would come to me winning this company's world title." Jason retorted.
"Make no mistake, Mr. Frank. Your win over me has not left my mind. After Cody fails once again to win that title, I'll be around the corner to pick up the pieces and show you what true hard work is." Dalton promised.
"I look forward to it, Peacock." Jason stated.
"Your executive contract does not make you special in my eyes. Your MMA experience is only a slight inconvenience. Not to mention, your flack of a fashion sense to dress in spandex." Dalton scoffed.
"At least I don't dress like a chippendale." Jason shot back while the crowd laughed.
"But trust me when I say these people will have a world champ to look up to. One track minds always find a second route to go down." Dalton stated as the crowd booed him on that statement.
"Then I hope your mind stops you from stepping into the ring with a real athlete." Jason retorted as he walked away leaving Dalton to be fanned down from his growing temper.
(The cameras cut back to ringside Katie Striker is currently in the steel cage waving to her fans wearing the same attire she wore at Rush Hour as she gets set for some action.)
("Reconnect" by Destrophy)
(The crowd cheered loudly as Jesse Neal comes out in blue trunks with white flames emblems on them and black boots as he flexes his muscles coming down the ramp.)
"This is a Triple Threat Intergender Match set to be contested inside a steel cage and it is for a Rags or Riches Briefcase! Introducing first, from St. Cloud, Florida, weighing 220 lbs, "The American Hero" Jesse Neal!" Richard announced.
"Neal is a fan favorite in his hometown of Orlando and the fans really love him here. I guess a regret is he is not walking in here No Limits Champion." Greg stated.
"I don't think it matters to him as he figures there are bigger fish in the sea to catch." Jasmynn added.
(Jesse talks down Katie in the cage as he comes the steel steps and heads inside hopping on the lower left corner throwing up rock signs to the cheering crowd in the pool.)
(Katie shrugged her shoulders and ran for Jesse hopping on the middle rope hitting a German Suplex off the top rope as Jesse grabs his back in so much pain. Katie then gets up taunting to the crowd gathering a few boos as she gets Jesse up with her whipping him off the east end ropes into the other set hitting a Bicycle Knee Strike to his chin and then a Backbreaker.)
"Katie not waiting for the bell to ring as she wants to done now." Russ stated.
("California Gurls" by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg)
(Haleigh made her way out running down the ramp and as she got to the cage, Shannon Moore came from under the ring hitting her with a Spinning Heel Kick. The crowd cheered for the sudden appearance as the cruiserweight from WWE, WCW, and TNA wore a black Metallica shirt and latex sliver tights with chains all over them as well as black sneakers. He went inside the steel cage and started a brawl with Katie Striker as he pushed her away before he hit a Spanish Fly. Shannon taunted to the crowd as he and Jesse stood face-to-face. They high-fived and the crowd chanted "INK! INK! INK! INK INK!" over and over again.)
"Is this a reunion of Ink Inc.?" Greg asked.
"It's a sight to be seen for sure. We haven't seen these guys team up since their TNA days." Jasmynn added.
Jesse told the ref to ring the bell as the official did as told with Shannon setting Katie in the upper left corner sending chops to her chest. Shannon then whipped Jesse into her as he hit a Shoulder Tackle and Katie bent over huffing for air. Shannon then brought her to the middle as he and Jesse tried for a Double Suplex which connected as Katie felt her back. Jesse then gets Katie up talking trash to her face and lifts her up, but she sinks out low blowing Jesse and then hitting a Superkick to Shannon's chin. Katie then hooks both of Jesse arms hitting a Dragon Suplex as the crowd cheered loudly for the move while Striker got back to her feet. Haleigh found her way to the cage getting inside fully letting the referee lock them all up.
"The referee locks the door as Shannon and Jesse could be in heaps of trouble now." Greg stated.
Haleigh shakes hands with Striker for a temporary alliance as Shannon comes for both ladies, but they simply hit a Double Flapjack into the west end cage wall. Shannon bounces to the canvas on his back as Jesse gets to his feet before Katie kicks his gut hitting a DDT. Haleigh than taunts to the audience before getting Jesse to rise kneeing him in the gut and then whipping him into the upper left corner. Haleigh then backs up running to hit a Corner Lariat and then turns to her boxing strikes in the chest. Katie backs her up and then lifts her like a javelin throwing her hitting a Crossbody in the corner to Neal. Haleigh gets up only to meet Katie in the middle as Striker knees her in the gut hitting the Quackendriver IV, adopted from Mike Quackenbush!
"Quackendriver! Katie taking the move from Mike Quackenbush of CHIKARA fame." Russ stated.
Katie gets up only to eat a Spear from Jesse, who charged out of the corner. He hooks her left leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Striker kicks out at 2.4!
Jesse holds his head as Shannon gets up and the tag team decides to end this, but a charging scream from the ramp comes running down. Kennedy Lee makes her presence known hopping on the cage wall climbing to the top as Ink Inc. watch with stunning eyes. Kennedy makes it to the top beating her chest and hitting a Flying Splash to both Shannon and Neal taking both men to the canvas! Kennedy kipped up and went to help her girlfriend, Haleigh, to her feet as she checks on her. Haleigh grabbed her head and hugged Kennedy for saving her as the couple shares a kiss before Haleigh grabs Neal getting him set up for a Side Russian Leg Sweep as Kennedy sticks her tongue out and raises the left thumb. Kennedy then runs the west end ropes hitting the Amazon Spike at the same time Haleigh hits her Russian Leg Sweep! Katie gets to her feet, but she eats a Superkick from Kennedy into the east end cage wall.
"Kennedy making her presence felt in this match as she has her own woes with Neal and Striker from the battle royal." Jasmynn reminded.
Kennedy grabbed Striker on her shoulders as Haleigh lifted up Shannon and they both hit synchronized Samoan Drops on their victims. Kennedy then went to hop to the top of the upper right corner and Haleigh climbed the top of the lower left corner facing backwards. Kennedy jumped hitting a Flying Splash to Neal and Haleigh hits a Moonsault after her girlfriend. Haleigh hooks the left leg while Kennedy sits on Haleigh's back crossing her legs.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Haleigh cheered with Kennedy helping her to her feet.
("California Gurls" by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg)
"Here is your winner, Haleigh Grant!" Richard announced.
(Kennedy cheered with her girlfriend hopping onto her and latching on in their hug of love kissing one another.)
"Haleigh getting a very emotional win for her despite the odds. Who knows if she would've stood a chance without Kennedy." Greg stated.
"Neal and Moore are back as Ink Inc., but it was not the reunion they hoped for and came up short getting a briefcase. What could be in store for Haleigh?" Russ asked.
(Haleigh and Kennedy exited the cage as they headed up the ramp with the fans screaming support for the lesbian couple. They headed over to the briefcase table as Haleigh twirled a lock of her red hair trying to decide. Haleigh pointed at the third as her and Kennedy unlatched it open showing the white banner saying "BOOKING THE NEXT FIRESTORM SHOW." Both women screamed in excitement as they hugged one another and Haleigh closed up her briefcase.)
"Wait a minute…Haleigh is in charge next week?" Jasmynn asked.
"Make that her and Kennedy are in charge next week. They decide what happens!" Russ added.
(Haleigh and Kennedy waved by to the audience sharing one last kiss for them before they went to hit up the bars to celebrate around Orlando.)
"Holy shit in a shingle…we have those two running around here next week making demands." Greg stated.
"That's certainly going to be very interesting and I, for one, am excited to see what possibilities could happen." Russ added.
("The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi)
(The crowd gave a mixed reaction to Simon Gotch of Major League Wrestling as he came out in a furry black jacket with a red rose attached to the right side. He wore normal black trunks and boots with the USPW Hardcore Championship around his waist. With his hands firmly behind his back, he walked down to the steel cage.)
"Here is the man that escaped Rush Hour with the 24/7 Hardcore Championship and I wonder what he has in store for us tonight." Russ stated.
"We had multiple title changes from Jordan Oliver to CJ Meade to Jungle Boy to Simon Gotch. That just says all there is to that title, but Simon coming out making his official debut in USPW has me putting 2 and 2 together." Greg added.
(Simon walks down the aisle as he reaches the steel steps heading up and through the ropes before unhooking his title belt raising it to the crowd. He asked for a microphone as a producer ran down giving him one.)
"Look and behold at the title of the violence and most ruthless…a title that symbolizes the use of profanity and ruffian behavior. You people like the taste of blood on tongues of men who put their bodies through literal hell for your entertainment. That's a shame! That's an absolute shame! People like you all should appreciate the art that wrestling brings and not the boredom of weapon violence. I took this title, because it will stay on my shoulders as a reminder of what the future of this business looks like." Simon explained as the crowd booed him.
"Sounds like Simon didn't like watching ECW in the days." Greg stated.
"Boo to you, too! You don't mess with masterpieces and you don't mess with Gotch. A true wrestler in the performing arts of wrestling. However, there are those that will want to resort to silly games in order to win this title. So, gentlemen, make no mistake about it…I hear you…chattering like schoolchildren on the playground. Deciding who has guts to take on the bully. This title means a lot obviously…so come take it while you still can." Simon challenges as he dropped the title on the mat.
("Two by Four" by Jim Johnson)
(The crowd cheered very loud as WWE Hall of Famer and the very first Royal Rumble winner "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan came out with his 2x4 shouting "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" with the crowd as he wore a "HOOOOOOO!" shirt with his image saying the words in a thought bubble in blue color lettering. He also wore his blue trunks and blue boots. Jim gave thumbs up to just about everyone.)
"Well, this is a surprise! Here comes Jim Duggan, the very first winner of the Royal Rumble!" Russ exclaimed.
"Simon said anyone could come out and it didn't have to be from the present. Hacksaw can still go in the ring and he could put that piece of wood to good use." Greg added.
("The Path to Valhalla" by Zergna)
(Mammoth Man came out to cheers as he tore away his bear cloth and he wore dark red trunks with black boots. He stroked his beard and pointed ahead as he came down the ramp.)
"And here's the new kid on the block who for the last two weeks killed it in the ring." Jasmynn added.
"I've never seen a man decimate like the way he does. Just look what he did to Joey Ryan in Beyond Wrestling. He slammed the man on the bare wood of a bar counter with fine china plates on it." Russ added.
("Fantastic Baby" by BIGBANG)
(The crowd started booing as Robert Fantastic, mostly known as Egotistico Fantastico in CZW, appeared as he wore a flashy blue jacket with navy blue trunks and bright blue boots. On the back of his jacket is 'FANTASTIC' decorated in shiny diamonds. He pointed to himself as he came down the ramp.)
"Here is CZW alumni Robert Fantastic as he won the world title, the world junior heavyweight title, and the ironman title being their last holder." Russ explained.
"Simply, this man is all about ego as he is showing himself off to the audience. A veteran that has wrestled for over 20 years around the globe." Jasmynn added.
("Dominate" by Derek Minor)
(A very familiar face showed up through the back doors as Ezekiel Jackson came out flexing those strong muscles wearing a grey "TAPOUT" shirt and black sweatpants with black boots as he slapped fives with fans coming down the ramp.)
"Ezekiel Jackson? Didn't he retire?" Greg asked with astonishment in his voice.
"He is the last ever ECW Champion of WWE's version and he has competed in other independent promotions. I guess he wants a good reunion with weapons at his disposal." Russ added.
("Rockhouse (without quotes)" by Frank Shelley)
(The nWo logo blasted onto the titantron as a grey-blondish haired man came out wearing a sleeveless nWo shirt, black tights with the nWo logos on both legs, black gloves with a white trim, white knee pads, and white boots with black laces. He started giving Too Sweets to fans and even one to former friend Hank as he made his way down the ramp.)
"This is Oliver Legend who recently came out of retirement to compete in the National Wrestling Alliance and USPW. He's a 4-time NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion and 1-time NWA National Champion. 3-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and an honorary member of the New World Order." Russ explained.
"This man calls himself the King of Wrestling and was a pompous jackass in the glory days, but I guess he put it behind him to relive his black and white colors." Greg added.
("Jurassic Express Theme" by Miley Ruckus)
(The caveman scream and dinosaur roar made cheers go up as Luchasaurus came out carrying the participant of Jungle Boy, who sat up spitting out water while Marko Stunt came out in a yellow life vest as he ran down the ramp jumping up and down.)
"Looks like we have Jungle Boy making his way down to the ring for another shot at getting back the Hardcore Championship." Russ stated.
"Only for a brief few seconds did Jungle Boy feel what it was like to be Hardcore Champion and he's looking for revenge." Greg added.
("The Beaten Path" by Dale Oliver)
(Zack Mercer comes out with his black hair and beard flowing as he wore a black vest with 'Mercer' on the left in white and a skull on the right with 'ZM' on the forehead. His left arm showed off colorful tattoos and 'Elizabeth" written on his right hand. Zack wears black tights with 'Mercer' in white on both legs and white tiger scratches on both sides as well as stars on his behind that go down the back of his legs leading to two more white stars. Zack wears black boots as he comes down the ramp shaking two Boom Sauce beer cans before leaning over the railing chugging beer with fans.)
"Here comes Zack Mercer who has had a very bad experience since his little sister met a very terrible fate in their childhood." Russ explained.
"He dedicates a lot of his matches to her and he gets to go for the gold in the Hardcore division so let's see what he can do." Greg added.
("Struttin' and Cuttin'" by Jimmy Hart and J.J. Macquire)
(The crowd cheered as another WWE Hall of Famer came out as Brutus Beefcake came out with short blonde hair wearing a black sleeveless shirt with blue zebra print all over it and purple trunks with purple boots as he carried his famous scissors.)
"Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake still coming out to his old tune and only wrestled when someone needs a haircut." Russ stated.
"Talk about a workaholic. He used to team with Hulk Hogan himself." Jasmynn added.
("The Falcon" by Blackout)
(The crowd booed loudly as Colton comes out wearing his normal red hood with silver lines down the middle. Caleb and Driston joined his side as Colton places a hand on Caleb's head telling him to head down as Caleb takes off his jean jacket heading to the ring with black trunks with a single white feather emblem on the back with white boots.)
"Oh what do you know? The bird freaks are here." Greg scoffed.
"Coming off a controversial win against the New Hart Foundation at Rush Hour, it looks like Colton has blessed Caleb with this opportunity for the Hardcore Championship." Russ explained.
(Everyone gathered inside the steel cage with steel chairs, kendo sticks, two garbage cans filled with weapons, three tables, and steel pipes. Caleb goes up the steel steps and heads inside the cage with the first referee holding up the USPW Hardcore Championship and the second one closed the door locking everyone in. Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt stayed ringside as Colton pulled up a steel chair sitting down to observe this contest and Driston stood by his side.)
The bell rang as Mammoth Man screamed hitting clotheslines to Brutus, Zack, Duggan, Jungle Boy, Jackson, and Gotch. Oliver came in hitting elbows to the head, but Mammoth Man grabbed his shoulders pushing him into the north end ropes before hitting a Spinebuster on the wrestling legend as Oliver grabbed his back. Fantastic and Collins grabbed kendo sticks hitting Mammoth Man in the gut with their sticks before cracking them over his head and back, but the bearded mammoth didn't seem too faze before hitting both heels with Headbutts as he barrels over Fantastic with a Shoulder Tackle. Collins tried for a Dropkick, but Mammoth Man catches the legs hitting three kicks to the chest as Collins holds his chest while Mammoth screams to the crowd as he dominates the match so far.
"Mammoth Man really seems to be the huge threat here not taking any damage so far despite the odds against him." Russ stated.
Jungle Boy climbs the upper right corner with his steel chair and jumps hitting Mammoth Man with the chair on the way down as the big man stumbles. Duggan holds up a thumb to get the crowd chanting "OOOHHHHHHHH!" as Duggan runs the east end ropes hitting a Clothesline, but the bearded mammoth stumbles. Jackson runs the east end ropes trying for a Flying Clothesline taking down Mammoth Man, but Zack comes into the equation with a broomstick hitting both Jackson and Duggan over the head with his weapon before he gets Gotch in the gut with his weapon. Oliver grabbed a cookie tray from one of the garbage cans hitting Zack on the head with it before he dropped it hitting a DDT on the weapon. Gotch then hammers the back of Oliver as Caleb hits a Superkick to the nWo member as Oliver stumbles before Gotch grabs him and the Hardcore Champion hits a Double Underhook Suplex on the veteran wrestler.
"Simon Gotch giving Oliver the ride of his life with that Suplex and that put the old timer on notice." Greg observed.
Gotch got booed as Zack sized him up before he caught the wrist of Gotch transitioning into a Wristlock before holding Gotch for Jungle Boy as the young rookie starts hitting shots to the head rapidly as Gotch's face gets messed up. Jungle Boy grabs Gotch before hitting the former Vaudevillian with a Cutter straight on a steel chair. Zack then tried for an Ace of Spades (Superkick) on Jungle Boy, but the rookie caught Zack's left foot shaking his head no before pushing Zack to the mat hitting a Headbutt to the stomach as Zack grabs his midsection coughing and Jungle Boy plays it up for the crowd. Brutus, however, comes up from behind tapping Jungle Boy on his shoulder decking the youngster with his scissor's handles before Jungle Boy falls to the canvas. Brutus drags Jungle Boy to the lower right corner moving the tables aside as he sets Jungle Boy up on the middle rope as the fans got excited.
"Looks like Jungle Boy is getting his day at the barber's!" Jasmynn exclaimed.
Jungle Boy shakes his head as Brutus screams "Snip, snip!" as he digs in Jungle Boy's hair cutting off some locks as Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt yell at him to stop with the crowd cheering and laughing it up. Brutus drops the locks on the canvas before winding up an elbow sending it into Jungle Boy as the young star goes to the canvas. Jackson gets to his feet before Fantastic hits a Basement Dropkick sending the last ECW Champion into the north side ropes as Fantastic grabs a table setting it up in the upper right corner slapping it before grabbing Jackson as Collins wanted to help. Both men tried for a Double Suplex into the table, but they didn't know Mammoth Man got set up in the lower left corner eyeing all three men with a fierce glare. As both men successfully lifted Jackson, Mammoth Man screamed running to hit a Double Spear sending all four men straight through one table! The crowd ate up the action chanting "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"
"Mammoth Man charging for Fantastic and Collins as he sent himself packing along with those three unfortunate souls." Russ stated.
Brutus drags Collins out and tries for a quick cover.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Gotch got up to break the count after 2.
Gotch hammers axe handles down on the back of the legend and former partner of Hulk Hogan as he berates Brutus stealing his scissors getting some heat. Brutus pushes Gotch down as the Jewish superstar stares in shock while the barber grabs his scissors closing in on Gotch, but Jungle Boy whistles hitting a Missile Dropkick from the lower left corner to Brutus as payback. Duggan comes in hitting Jungle Boy with a Lariat taking down the AEW star, but Duggan gets rolled up by Gotch with the hands on the tights.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Gotch screams in victory before his theme came on.
("The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi)
"Here is your winner and still USPW Hardcore Champion, Simon Gotch!" Richard announced.
(The referee helps Simon up and hands him his title with the Jewish superstar raising his title belt after outlasting nine other men. Duggan is very confused and shocked that he was the one to take the pin. The second referee opened the cage door as Duggan ran for Gotch, but Gotch headed to the outside very fast escaping up the ramp with his title belt. Duggan glares at him as he stares at the other groaning wrestlers.)
"Gotch able to seal a victory by scooping up the tights of Duggan and keep that silver strap around his waist." Russ stated.
"One thing heel wrestlers always do: grab the fucking tights." Greg added.
(Simon did a mocking bow to the boos in the audience as he escapes into the resort with his title belt and hopefully to a rental car to head back to his hotel.)
(Backstage, a black limo started pulling up to the resort as the crowd stayed quiet for the potential reveal of a new star or a current member of the roster. The limo driver gets out as he goes over to open the door facing the resort's front doors as a figure stepped out with everyone cheering loudly. The figure standing before everyone is Ryback wearing a black beanie with two red 'R's on the side, a black shirt saying "Stack'em Up, I'll Beat'em Down" and black jeans with black boots as he slams the car door. He starts heading into the resort as if he is looking for something.)
"What the hell?! It's Ryback! He wasn't supposed to show up till next Monday on Firestorm!" Russ explained.
"I guess The Big Guy shows up when he pleases. What could be his plans?" Greg wondered.
"Ryback is a undefeated force on the indies and is considered dangerous so those that dare get in his way should be wise not to cross him." Jasmynn added.
"Well, speaking of unstoppable forces, Marcus Sloan makes his return next week on Firestorm and I bet he will be present when Ivan takes on Andrew Marsh. Marsh is already guaranteed a future U.S. Title shot if he wins, but Marcus wants to make sure his place at the front of the line is secured." Russ explained
"And let's not forget about the clash between Logan Gage and Ryan "Fireball" Brown as both men will tear the roof off in their Last Man Standing Match. They were supposed to go head to head a couple weeks ago until Logan injured Ryan and attacked him backstage. Ryan's team also lost at Rush Hour and Ryan wasn't the one who got pinned." Jasmynn added.
"We are just getting word that three matches have been confirmed for Night 1 of Niagara Brawls. We already know the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship will be defended in our main event, but we also have our partners from the National Wrestling Alliance wanting a cross-promotional match featuring a Four Corners Tag Team Match for the NWA World Tag Team Titles. We have Eli Drake and James Storm defending those relics against The Rock N' Roll Express, The Remnants, and Nightmare in Pound City. Austin Johnson, who has defended the IWTV Title in various promotions not suffering one loss thanks to his group of misfits in the Freedom Fighters, he will defend that title against WARHORSE, who never got pinned and feels he got robbed of his title." Greg explained.
"We also have a Hair vs. Hair Match that got sanctioned between Brutus Beefcake and Jungle Boy. The loser will have to have their hair shaved and given a nice shine." Russ added.
"We also have some matches confirmed for Night 2 which so far features Jason David Frank defending his world title against Cody Fireheart and ROTHChester getting a scheduled European Title shot at Will Ralston. We also have six-man tag team action as Grim, Duhop, and Kurt Bale take on Ryan Lewis and two partners of Ryan's choosing. Grim did say on Twitter that he doesn't want to run so he wants Ryan at Niagara Brawls right then and there." Greg explained.
"But there is an aura of mystery as to who Ryan could possibly align himself with. That's the ticket we are gonna wait on." Russ stated.
"Finally, we have a champion vs. champion match as CZW Wired Champion KC Navarro returns to USPW against the Phoenix Rising Champion Owen Chafin. A battle in the Phoenix Rising division and both prove who is the better high-flyer." Jasmynn announced.
("Ice Flow" by Kevin Macleod)
(Jay "The Key" Evans comes out to a mixed reaction mostly getting support from GTS supporters as he wore a blue shirt saying "Don't Mess With The Key Holder" in bold blue writing. He wore black trunks with blue key emblems on the side, black boots, and a backwards yellow cap over his short blonde hair.)
"The following contest is a Triple Threat Match set to be contested inside a steel cage and it is for a Rags or Riches Briefcase! From Island Heights, New Jersey, the Key to Success in GTS, Jay Evans!" Richard announced.
"This young man has quite the resume stacked up in GTS being a YouTube Wrestling Figures Heavyweight Champion, multi-time GTS Champion, Hardcore Champion Intercontinental Champion as well as United States and Tag Team Champion. He is a natural born talent." Russ stated.
"He's also has indie success being a former SWF Cruiserweight Champion and he's just getting started with his debut in USPW. Let's see what he's got under his wings." Greg added.
(Jay threw his hat into the crowd in the pool before banging on the cage walls that lined the ramp and then getting ringside taking off his shirt handing it to the ref stepping inside the real cage walls. He hops on the lower right corner raising both fists in the air and hopping off.)
("Demise" by Ethan Meixswell)
(Geoffrey Bravo came out sporting short black hair wearing sunglasses, a black shirt with a golden fist in the middle with "The Mark" on it in gold letters. On the back, it says "Geoffrey Bravo" in gold print and he wore black trunks with "The Mark" on the back in bold white along with white boots.)
"His opponents first, from Manchester, England, he is the Mark, Geoffrey Bravo!" Richard announced.
"This man hasn't been in GTS in almost 2 years, but that doesn't stop his Indy ventures in Combat Zone Wrestling and Ultimate Championship Wrestling." Greg stated.
"Is he parodying the Rock? I don't really get his gimmick." Jasmynn admitted.
(The Mark makes a slow walk down the ramp as he stands in the sun rays before getting to the cage and hopping in the ring going to the upper right corner raising one arm like The Rock. The crowd booed him as he hopped off taking off his sunglasses.)
("Thud" by John Deley and The 41 Players)
(The crowd went ballistic as Duhop comes out with his girlfriend, Tiffani Avatar, wearing a white sleeveless top saying "ROCK SOLID WING WANG WRESTLlNG" in bold black print, white arm coverings, black shorts, and black sneakers with the green 'DF' logo on them. He screamed "YEAH!" soaking in the cheers from the crowd as he came down the ramp.)
"Being accompanied to the ring by Tiffani Avatar, representing D-Generation Fat and the OG's of GTS, Duhopppppppppppppp!" Richard announced.
"This man is a very popular superstar on GTS holding the Youtube Wrestling Figures Heavyweight Championship an impressive 8 times and is the longest reigning GTS Intercontinental Champion. He is also the real life brother of Grim." Greg read off the notes given to him.
"I think the look on his face tells us he knows Jay and Geoffrey very well. This could end bad for one of them." Russ added.
(Duhop looked at the two men in the ring as he consulted with Tiffani and she pecked him on the cheek allowing Duhop to move ringside before heading up the steel steps. He heads through the ropes screaming "YEAHHHHHHHHHH!" to the crowd getting wild cheers in response as Geoffrey takes off his shirt dumping it outside as the second referee locks up the cage door.)
The first referee called for the bell as all three men circled one another and GTS took over the next few minutes of action. Jay started going after Duhop hitting elbows getting him in the lower left corner kicking him down as Geoffrey took his turn kicking down Duhop to boos. Jay gets Duhop up and hits an uppercut making Duhop go into the ropes before Jay whipped Duhop into the north end ropes hitting a Slingblade to Grim's brother, but Bravo hits an Atomic Drop to Jay and then goes for the cage door immediately as the second referee struggled to open it fast enough, but Jay turns Bravo around punching his face and slamming him into the south cage wall and the cage rattled as Jay threw Bravo into the east cage wall before Jay hit a Snapmare and a Basment Dropkick to Bravo's back.
"Jay taking immediate control after Bravo tried making a getaway with a sneaky victory, but the key isn't going to be unlocked yet." Jasmynn observed.
Jay gets Bravo up before whipping him off the east end ropes as Bravo rebound with Jay trying for another Slingblade, but Bravo caught him in a Deep Six. Bravo then grabbed the legs of Jay kicking the stomach area three times before hitting two elbow drops. Bravo taunted to the audience as Duhop came out hitting three clotheslines consecutively to the England native as Duhop pushed Bravo into the upper right corner with Duhop backing up. Duhop began hitting European Uppercuts to Bravo as each came like a bulldozer and the crowd cheered on Duhop. Duhop comes out and whips Bravo off the north end ropes as he hits The Mark with a Sidewalk Slam. He tries hooking the left leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jay broke up the count.
"Duhop with the Sidewalk Slam and Jay breaks up the count. I say Jay is the favorite in this match since he can use agility and high-flying to his advantage to really put his opponents on the spot." Greg stated.
Jay starts kicking down on Duhop going to the north side of the ring as he uses the ropes to hit a few Knee Drops to the head. Jay trash talks and hits another Knee Drop as he gets Duhop in the upper left corner before stepping back going to hit a Flying Clothesline in the corner. Jay backs up and does one more before stepping back and getting one more in. Jay then steps back farther as he stomps on the ground before running, but Duhop reverses with a elbow to the face. Duhop goes over to Jay and hooks both arms hitting the Grim Ending (Full Nelson Slam) which he adopted from his brother as he gets back up. However, Bravo turns Duhop around and hits a Mark Bottom (Rock Bottom) and hooks the right leg.
"1….2…." The ref counted, but Duhop kicked out at 2.6!
"The Mark with the Mark Bottom and Duhop almost lost to it getting the shoulder up in time!" Russ exclaimed.
The Mark then gets Duhop up whipping him into the west end ropes hitting a Lifting Spinebuster as Bravo gets hyped up before standing at the head of Duhop taking off an elbow pad throwing it outside the top of the cage before waving both hands back and forth hitting the north end rope and then the south end rope, but Jay hits a Dropkick stopping Bravo's momentum. Jay smiles as he gets to his feet grabbing Bravo by the head and hitting a few chest strikes and a spinning forearm. Jay then backs up running for Bravo, but Bravo ducks the Superkick attempt and tries for the Mark Bottom, but Jay pushes Bravo away trying for the Superkick, but Bravo catches the foot and spins Jay around trying for a Spinebuster, but Jay hits a Impaler DDT in countering! Mark grabs his head getting up before suffering a Black Mass kick from Jay sending Bravo down and the Key of GTS pushes Bravo on the back hooking the left leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Duhop pushes Jay off at 2.6!
"Duhop with the save after Jay and Bravo tried countering each other's moves which just puts on display the strengths of each man." Greg explained.
Duhop gets Jay up and hits the head of the Key onto the top rope of the upper left corner before pushing him in hyping up the crowd as he flips Jay off before backing up. Duhop runs hitting a European Uppercut and then backs up hitting another and then another. Bravo gets to his feet as Duhop hits a Running Shoulder Tackle to him and then to Jay taking both men down. Beads of sweat pour down Duhop's face as he discards his arm coverings on the canvas before getting Bravo up sending him into the west end ropes before kicking the gut and hitting a Duhop Drop (Stunner). Bravo flies back on his back rolling away before Jay gets up and Duhop kicks his gut as he hits another Duhop Drop to the Key making Jay flip onto his stomach! Duhop then pushes the Key on his back covering him.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jay kicked out at 2.8!
"Two Duhop Drops and Jay manages to get a shoulder up at the right moment!" Greg exclaimed.
Duhop sits on his behind as he gets to his feet before lifting Jay up, but The Mark grabs Duhop from behind hitting a Snap German Suplex as Duhop grabs the back of his neck. The Mark then grabs Jay up whipping him into the south end ropes trying for the Mark Bottom, but Jay sinks behind Bravo hitting a Inverted DDT. Jay then hops off the middle rope of the west set hitting a hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Bravo kicked out at 2.7!
Jay stares in shock as he gets to his feet before grabbing Bravo's head hammering the neck and tried for a Piledriver, but Bravo reverses the move into an Alabama Slam in the middle of the ring. Bravo then gets Jay up and kicks the gut before bending him over and hooking both arms as he tries for the Pedigree, but Duhop comes in hitting a Duhop Drop on Bravo as he does! Bravo staggers back into the ropes as Duhop hits another Duhop Drop making Bravo fly on his back before Duhop hooks Bravo's left leg.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the bell rang to end the match.

"Here is your winner, Duhop!" Richard announced.
(Duhop gets to his knees and screams to the cheering crowd as the ref raises his left hand in victory before he heads out of the cage. He grab Tiffani's right hand as they walk up the ramp ready to collect Duhop's prize as he made his way over to the three remaining briefcases. Duhop rubbed his hands together for luck as he searched back and forth hoping for a big winner before choosing the first one and unlatching it opening to find the banner saying "INSTANT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ANYTIME" Duhop closed the briefcase and held it high as he got the world title briefcase he could cash in anytime he pleased. Tiffani clapped for her boyfriend as they shared a quick kiss before walking away.)
"Whoa! How lucky can a guy get? Duhop just scored the money load." Russ stated.
"Duhop just chose the briefcase that he carries around with him everywhere he goes and can cash in for a future title shot anytime. Kinda like Money in the Bank." Jasmynn added.
"That man hit the motherload and has an instant ticket to the front of the line anytime. Could be before a match between two people to make it Triple Threat or he could cash in on the winner after they have exhausted most of their strength in their last match." Greg suggested.
(We go backstage as Ryback is seen sitting on a sofa turning both ways to see if he can spot anyone of interest before he sees Mammoth Man exiting the locker room with a white towel over his back. Ryback acts cool before slowly creeping up and clobbering the big man from behind as he punches down the monster. Mammoth Man catches a punch to Ryback's gut and fights back elbowing the head, but Ryback rams Mammoth Man into two lamps inevitably making a hole in the wall. Mammoth Man stumbles before he gets a Meathook Clothesline from the Big Guy as referees surround the two breaking up the fight.)
"You wanna be undefeated, punk? Go through me." Ryback stated.
(One of the referees tells Ryback to get back as the Big Guy smirks walking off and Mammoth Man gets checked on by the officials before we head back outside.)
"So Ryback was looking for Mammoth Man? He is undefeated so far in USPW." Russ stated.
"But guys like Ryback always take the coward route to attack their competition instead of waiting for the match to see who's the toughest. This is only gonna anger a man like Mammoth Man as he is going to tear Ryback a new mudhole." Greg added.
"We still have two more briefcases on the line before our tag teams take center stage for the USPW Global Tag Team Titles as Jonathan and William will be weary if Preston gets involved. But we have Bottoms Up Outlaws, The Crist Brothers, The Lucha Bros., Injustice, and The Hybrid 2 set up for action inside the steel cage." Jasmynn added.
("Taking a Beating" by Ethan Meixsell)
(Rhett Titus ran out screaming "OH HELL YEAH!" with his arms outstretched completely shirtless wearing bright green trunks with a metal bone on the back with the words 'BIG DAWG' on the front of the bone. He wore his hair in a bun and white boots as the crowd cheered for him and he started his walk down to the cage.)
"The following contest is a Triple Threat match set to be contested inside a steel cage and it is for a Rags or Riches Briefcase! Introducing first, from Long Beach Island, New Jersey, weighing 230 lbs., Rhett Titus!" Richard announced.
"The Ring of Honor veteran has showed his presence hoping to pull off a big win and get a briefcase although the world title one is not up for grabs." Russ stated.
"It doesn't mean he couldn't become rich with $50K or become our first Television Champion. The possibilities are still alive in this contest." Greg added.
(Rhett rattles the cages on the side before getting to the actual cage climbing the stairs and heading inside playing to the cheering crowd.)
("Lover's Lane" by Unknown)
(Jervis Cottonbelly came out stretching his arms and almost dropped his hat before he caught it to place it on his head again. He started hugging many fans old and young before heading down the ramp blowing kisses all around.)
"His opponents, first, from London, England, weighing 200 lbs., he is the World's Sweetest Man, "Gentleman" Jervis Cottonbelly!" Richard announced.
"Sporting the same attire he did against Marty Jannetty and a really colorful mindset that comes from Jervis." Greg admitted.
"I still want a hug! Come get me, Jervis!" Jasmynn exclaimed.
(Jervis runs ringside and hugs the second referee outside as he comes in the cage and goes through the ropes throwing his hat out to the crowd in the pool before taking off his jacket and placing his cane outside the ring throwing a thumbs up to Rhett Titus.)
("Hathor" by Derek and Brandon Fiechter)
(Four men donned in black robes and hoods came out as they rolled out a golden sarcophagus with the design of an Egyptian pharaoh. The crowd cheered a little less, but loved the uniqueness of the entrance.)
"From Luxor, Egypt, weighing 235 lbs., Nolan Exodus!" Richard announced.
"This man has had only one match and he makes his return to USPW, but he's been on the independent scene making a name in America." Russ explained.
"He's made three appearances in Ring of Honor and made a one-off appearance in Combat Zone Wrestling primarily sticking to Ohio Valley Wrestling to increase his training abilities." Jasmynn added as she looked over her notes.
(The men got ringside and turned the coffin around as they opened the lid and Nolan popped up with his baldness showing and he wears a white hoodie. He is helped out and is shown wearing white wrestling shorts and black sneakers as he walks eerily to the steel steps. Nolan has white lines painted on his face and golden hourglass earrings hanging from his ears as he goes through the ropes with the second referee closing the cage locking it up.)
Jervis started shaking both the hands of Rhett and Nolan with the bell ringing as the Egyptian got his hoodie off sending it to his followers outside the ring and he clasped his hands together falling to his knees. Rhett rolled his eyes before punching Jervis in the head and then Nolan and then to Jervis getting the nice wrestler in the upper left corner before sending a flurry of elbows knocking the head as far back as he can. Rhett then got Nolan in the lower left corner sending elbows to him as well with Rhett backing up running hitting a Corner Splash to Nolan and then one to Jervis. Both newcomers slumped in their corners as Rhett drags Jervis out hitting a Bodyslam on the gentleman wrestler as Jervis grabs his back.
"The Big Dawg taking the reins from here and Jervis isn't looking so good becoming the chew toy." Jasmynn stated.
Jervis gets brought up and hit with another Bodyslam before Nolan comes out trying for a clothesline, but Rhett blocks it as he hits Nolan with a Jumping Headbutt before sending Nolan into the east end ropes and hitting a Scoop Slam as Rhett hooks the left leg of Nolan for a quick pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Nolan kicked out at 2.2.
Rhett gets Nolan up whipping him from the south end ropes too the north set as he bent over, but Nolan stops and drops to his knees hitting a slap to Rhett's chest as the big man covers the spot glaring at Nolan. Nolan ducks a few punches before ducking behind Rhett hitting a Dropkick to the back and back flipping off Rhett clasping both hands above him as the crowd cheered for the trick he did. Rhett tried for a Big Boot, but Nolan rolls off to the side hitting a Superkick to the head of Rhett before turning it into a Pele Kick as Rhett stepped into the arms of Jervis where the nice guy picked Rhett up rocking him to sleep before dropping him with a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Nolan clasped his hands together as did Jervis, but he congratulated himself and Nolan to the crowd.
"Jervis giving himself a pat on the back, but also giving tribute to the man from the crypt as Nolan showcasing his feats of athleticism." Greg stated.
Jervis and Nolan get Rhett up as they execute a Double Suplex as Rhett grabs at his back in mere agony before Nolan sends three kicks in consistent motion to Rhett's back and Jervis gave his own kick as he jumped for joy. Jervis then gets Rhett up as he backs up into the upper right corner before running hitting a Running Bulldog as Rhett grabs at his face before Jervis high-fives Nolan for his own move. Nolan then whips Jervis into the south end ropes hitting a Death Valley Driver before bridging into a pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Jervis reversed it into a backslide pin.
"1….2…." The ref counted, but Nolan rolled back up with Jervis on his shoulders and then he hit a Cutter.
"Nolan with the Cutter having his way with Jervis after the brief team up between the two." Russ observed.
Nolan's hourglass earrings flopped back and forth with each movement as he made fists with his hands going to punch the stomach of Jervis hitting two exaggerated punches before two Palm Strikes to the face and two Spin Kicks before topping the display with the Falcon Arrow. Nolan then kipped up to a roaring crowd before Rhett tried spoiling the party with a clothesline, but Nolan flipped forward to evade it before hitting a Headscissors Takedown as Rhett got taken by surprised. Rhett rolls right up and hits a Sit-Out Chokebomb as he hooks the legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jervis quickly broke the count up.
Jervis helps Nolan to his feet as the Big Dawg comes up trying for a Double Clothesline, but both smaller wrestlers ducked as they hit a Double Superkick on Titus taking him down. Nolan then gets Rhett on his knees before holding his chin up hitting a Side Kick straight to the head as Rhett spit out some rolling away. Jervis then comes up behind Nolan looking for a rollup pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Nolan kicked out at 2.7!
Nolan gets up and hits a Pele Kick to Jervis sending the nice guy down on his stomach before Nolan runs the north end ropes hitting a Double Foot Stomp to the back of Jervis. Nolan then pushes Jervis on his back hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jervis kicked out at 2.7!
"Nolan with the double foot stomp and Jervis kicks out in the nick of time. What great action here on CageZone." Greg observed.
Nolan gets Jervis up throwing him in the lower right corner as he hits multiple side kicks to the chest of Jervis. Nolan then hit an elbow before backing up as Jervis goes into a sitting position and Nolan clasped both hands together with the crowd hyping him up as he runs trying for a Double Knee Strike in the corner, but Jervis rolls away allowing Nolan to crash and burn. Jervis then grabs Nolan hitting a Russian Leg Sweep and rolls to his feet grabbing the left leg twisting Nolan over into the Dowton Lock (Ankle Lock) as he sits down wrenching hard on the leg. Nolan screams as he tries going for the ropes, but realized he's trapped for the moment until Rhett gets up kicking Jervis until he lets go of the hold. Rhett kicks the left leg of Nolan adding more pain and the Big Dawg gets Jervis up whipping him off the south end ropes, but Jervis does a counter bringing Rhett in for another Russian Leg Sweep, but Rhett lifts Jervis in a One-Handed Powerslam!
"Rhett with the eloquent reversal after Jervis tried taking him dancing. That's definitely a tango you want to stray away from." Jasmynn joked.
Rhett gets up screaming "OH HELL YEAH!" to a mixed crowd as he gets Jervis up and lifts him in position before executing the World's Doggest Slam on the gentleman. He then hooked the left leg for the pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jervis kicked out surprisingly at 2.9!
The crowd cheers the nice guy on as Rhett is in disbelief, but he sees Nolan in the upper left corner as he backs up in the lower right before stomping the left boot on the canvas. Rhett runs trying for the Big Dog Boot (Helluva Kick), but Nolan ducks down as Rhett makes contact with no one. Nolan rolls out and then hits a Roundhouse Kick to the head as Rhett stumbles. Nolan then grabs Rhett as he grabs the left leg going for Realm of the Tombs (Fisherman Suplex into a Jackhammer) and he connects before hooking the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jervis broke the count at 2.7!
Jervis then grabbed the left leg trying for the Downton Lock on Nolan as the Egyptian screamed, but he tried for the pinning the shoulders down on Rhett.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Jervis is stunned that Nolan thought faster in time and won.
("Hathor" by Derek and Brandon Fiechter)
"Here is your winner, Nolan Exodus!" Richard announced.
(Jervis releases his hold helping Nolan up and raised his left arm and the referee raises the right arm as Nolan smirks at Jervis accepting a friendly handshake as the crowd cheers. Nolan exits the cage soon and hops back in his sarcophagus before he sits up while the robed men lead the coffin up the ramp towards the briefcases. Nolan decided on choosing the second briefcase as one of the robed men brought it to him and he unlocked it showing the banner of '$50,000' while the crowd cheers.)
"Nolan just earned a massive payday on this one." Greg stated.
"He earned that cash prize for his stunning performance and quick thinking to win the match. I can only see things going up for this young man." Russ explained.
(Nolan locked up his prize holding it close and he laid back in his sarcophagus before the robed men closed the lid leading the resting place back into the resort.)
"That means Preston, Cody or Connor will become the first ever USPW Television Champion and I can't wait for that match." Russ stated.

Plus, the Boston native gets set to do battle with Jeff Cobb as the bad blood boils…
Footage shows a Ring of Honor taping as Jeff Cobb attacks Shane Taylor after a match where Eddie Edwards makes a shocking return to take out Cobb saving Taylor. Edwards cuts a promo saying he is tired of Cobb treating himself like he's the next best thing in Ring of Honor and the one thing that Cobb continues to forget is that he's always replaceable stating that Cobb hasn't risen to the heights that Edwards has done. Footage goes on to show all of Edwards's accomplishments in Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor, but Cobb says that Edwards was a prized independent darling, but he's nothing now, but a scared man afraid to get his hands dirty and resorts to cheap shots instead of man-to-man confrontation.
