Rashad Cameron & Kenny King vs. Tyson Dux & Petey Williams

Two new teams hit the scene here, as the so-called "Canadian Cyborgs" took on the "Ring Royalty", a.k.a. "The King of Philly" a.k.a. "BLK JEEZ" Rashad Cameron and "The King of the Night" Kenny King. While King and Cameron showed some potential here as a team, it was clear they needed to polish their act, while Dux and Williams seemed much more prepared and much more cohesive. They would utilize an absolutely devastating finisher tonight, with Dux picking up King into an Electric Chair position, allowing Williams to fly off the ropes and catch him with an elevated Canadian Destroyer that would end the match and get a huge pop from the crowd!

Raymond Rowe vs. Chuck Taylor

"The Kentucky Gentleman" would make his debut tonight against the "War Machine" Raymond Rowe, and while he was able to work the leg early to try and cut off the "Death Rowe" finisher, Rowe would show his impressive strength and suplex skills, ending the match with that very move to send a message about his toughness.

Allysin Kay & Jessicka Havok vs. Nevaeh & Candace LaRae

Very rough and physical match here would end with the new comer LaRae hitting a very high impact Stunner on Kay to keep her shoulders down for a three, but just barely.

Chris Hero vs. Roderick Strong
 
The crowd was all about this contest, as two of the hardest hitters in Liberty Pro took the ring. Strong would pull a lot of heel moves here, thumbing the eye of Hero, raking his back, and choking him on the ropes to set the crowd straight on who the get behind and who to tear into. Regardless, there was a good deal of respect from the audience by the end as these two exchanged elbows and kicks to the face, trying to land a knock out blow. Hero would manage to catch Strong with a knee to the face as he lifted him for the Strong Breaker, twisting him and then delivering One Behind the Ear to score the finishing blow and get the three count in impressive fashion!

Austin Aries, Frankie Kazarian, Brian Kendrick w/ Jimmy Rave vs. Seth Rollins, Jimmy Jacobs, Delirious w/ Seleziya Sparx

"The Constellation" would unite here to take on "Forever Fallen" in an entertaining and wild contest with a lot of star power and talent packed in. Seleziya would pull the referee out of this match as he attempted to count a three after an Aries' Brainbuster to Delirious, leading to some real chaos. In the mix of things "The Midnight Sons" of Brian Cage and Caleb Konley would make their way into the ring and attack Kazarian and Kendrick, taking them out of the match. Aries would be left alone and Rollins would manage to deliver an F-5, followed by a Senton Backsplash from Jacobs, which allowed Rollins to get the pinfall victory.

After the match, Chris Hero would come out to the stage. Hero would say that he just beat the best of "The Vanguard" in Roderick Strong, but at the next super show, "Never Ending War", he wants Seth Rollins one-on-one! Rollins takes a microphone as the fans chant for Hero. Rollins states that he would like nothing better than to wipe Hero from existence and take down another ego maniac in the quest of "Forever Fallen"! I guess that makes it official then.

Chris Dickinson vs. Adam Cole w/ Steve Corino

"The Original Death Machine" would take on "The One" here in a match between two guys who are looking to one day get a shot at the North American champion, Mark Jindrak. Dickinson is a guy who can do so many things and do them well, whether it be striking, mat wrestling, or throwing suplexes, and Cole had to be wary of all of that. Cole would decide to work over the surgically repaired left knee of Dickinson, trying to take out one of his chief power bases and also soften him up for his deadly Figure Four. Dickinson would fight back with chops and headbutts with a vengeance, sending "The One" reeling as Corino got on the mat and argued that he was using illegal tactics. Dickinson would turn his attention to Corino and get chop blocked by Cole, furthering the damage here. Cole would lock on a Figure Four and Corino would grab his hands as the ref looked away to check Dickinson's shoulders, infuriating everyone in a very "King of Old School" kind of way. Dickinson would manage to catch Cole with a boot as he charged into the corner and sent him into the buckles with a Northern Lights Suplex to change the tides. From there, Dickinson would look for his Braineater, but Cole would roll through it with a counter, utilizing a School Boy on Dickinso into a Prawn Hold in which he drove his feet and held the tights for the three count! Cole steals one here!

Corino would make motions towards the back and out ran the rest of "The Vanguard"! Roderick Strong, Drew Gulak, and Biff Busick would hit the ring and beat down Dickinson, and they looked ready to fight! Out from the back ran Raymond Rowe, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O'Reilly! Everyone involved would stand toe-to-toe battling until Corino made another motion and grabbed the mic, "Now! Now!" An Ambush! Into the ring came KENTA! KENTA would attack Fish from behind with a Buisaiku Knee Kick, he then would get involved in the scrambled with more striking towards O'Reilly and then Rowe until out to the ring ran BJ Whitmer! Whitmer would catch KENTA with a Running Single Leg Kick, sending him to the outside and these fans are cheering!

"Lunatic Fringe" hits the speakers and out comes Kurt Angle!

"Hey! Hey! I'm the FREAKIN' BOSS HERE, I MAKE THE MATCHES, SO COOL IT! ALL OF YOU! CUT THE B.S.!"

"The Vanguard" would retreat on the outside, while Dickinson, Rowe, Fish, O'Reilly, and Whitmer would hold their ground on the inside, looking outside suspiciously.

"YOU ALL WANT A FIGHT? YOU WANT TO PROVE YOU'RE BIG MEN, HUH!? YOU WEARIN' YOUR BIG MAN PANTS TONIGHT!? HOW'S ABOUT A SIX MAN MATCH THEN! KENTA, YOU LITTLE BASTARD, YOU, GULAK, AND BUSICK ARE TAKIN' ON WHITMER, O'REILLY, AND FISH!"

The fans give a big ovation for this as Angle catches his breath, beat in the face from yelling.

"And you... the rest of you... GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

Corino tries to send the rest of them off and talk game plan with the match participants.

"AH, AH, AH... I MEAN YOU TOO, BUSTER!"

Corino points at himself, protesting the call.

"YEAH, YOU! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, CORINO!"

Corino drags his feet, yelling obscenities as he retreats with the rest of merry men. Referee Paul Blart, Jr. makes his way from the back and hits the ring, pointing at the logo on his ref's shirt to make sure everyone knows he's the law, and this match gets underway!

BJ Whitmer, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly vs. KENTA, Drew Gulak, Biff Busick

Fish looked to start things off against KENTA, but Whitmer tags himself in and the Liberty Pro champion is ready to mix it up with his next challenger right now! This would set the pace of this contest, as Whitmer and KENTA exchanged fierce shots and takedowns, neither man looking to budge an inch or pull even the slightest from their punches. These six men gave it their all, and O'Reilly and Fish really looked like a team here, taking it to one half of the current Tag Team champions in Busick and actually ending the match with a Shoot Kick/Brainbuster combo they call Chasing the Dragon to get the three count!

Officials and familiar faced agents would pour out from the back to break things up after this, as things threatened to break down again with the incessant brawling between Whitmer and KENTA. Corino would make his way back out to the stage with a mic and called his "Vanguard" in for retreat as the show came to an end. "The Vanguard" would look to live to fight another day, it would seem.

Williams & Dux has a lot of potential as a tag team. That finisher may be the most dangerous move I've ever heard of, but for fantasy purposes, gives a cool enough image out of it and since you're in control of whether it paralyzes anybody, easy enough to avoid that lol. You have shown a good knack for pairing up 2 guys and making them work so I think with teams like Cage & Konley, Kazarian & Kendrick, they will fit in well.

Rowe has been noticeably building some momentum here. Smart to keep him out of that 6 man and into his own singles match earlier. Some of these names do not need the same work and building to get to that top level, but Rowe benefits big time as it is not so much he can't hang as the difference between him being in the background here and maybe fading away, and making his own name so that when this is done, he stays a player.

Hero and Rollins should be good. Forever Fallen have lost some steam as a group thanks to The Vanguard's emergence, but Rollins has not lost a step.

Cole beats Dickinson and it seems almost like a changing of the guard. Not that Dickinson is dead or anything, far from it, just it seems your priority right now is getting Cole over and established in Liberty Pro. It has not taken him long to stand out from the back under your booking and not sure of your plans, but he's starting to feel like a good possibility to work Samoa Joe for the World Title if he keeps up this pace, forget about the North American Title and him. Good to see Angle not losing anything having to move away from Dupree and to The Vanguard. He is starting to come across as the top face though through the constant spotlighted promos and just so far outshining guys like BJ Whitmer and Dickinson. With Dupree, it was fine because Dupree had nothing else going for him really by that point and it was just extending his life span here. If that happens with The Vanguard though and it gets too 1 sided with him as the face authority, I think that could become an issue in that it just creates more desire to see Angle vs Cole over ever seeing any of the top active faces work him. Not that that's a bad match or anything if that is a long term goal, more just the road getting there.

Another good show. Looking forward to seeing the build to Fall Brawl begin in the next few weeks.

I don't know about Angle/Cole, but you just gave me another idea for Angle and perhaps another more seasoned guy we've yet to see in action based on this. Thanks for the feedback, man, it gives me stuff to think about.

[jp1985]

Yeah, I don't think Angle vs Cole accomplishes anything right now or in the immediate future, was more just saying if he acts the same to Cole and that group as he did Dupree, that could be the unintended consequence. Like I said with Dupree a week or 2 ago, I think Angle works far better in the role by not wrestling, period. If he does wrestle, it should be a pretty big deal and with good reason, something that was lacking with Dupree and would be with Cole now. It made for good entertainment and stuff, but a surrogate face stepping in to defend Angle there would have had far more to gain for everybody involved with a guy trending downward like Dupree, and Cole feels bigger than Angle anyway that the win does nothing for him so why waste it. Will be interested to see who you have planned to work Angle in the weeks and months to come.

The finishing move may seem extremely unlikely to be pulled off but I like the idea of pushing a Canadian team, so great job putting Dux & Williams over. Rowe continues to show promise and Taylor would have made the match a little more fun. LaRae has been doing some amazing things in PWG so I'm glad you have showcased her here. Hero vs. Strong is a main event match anywhere in the US and I'm glad to see Hero get the win... awesome booking for the undercard. The six-man had a ton of history and the announcement of Rollins vs. Hero makes the iPPV must watch already. I did some research on Dickinson after reading the match with Cole and I definitely see the upside. I don't know that I would have had Cole circumvent the rules in this match to win as I think just pushing Cole would have gotten some rub. The undeserved win would have made more sense once Dickinson was more unanimously considered to be nearly on Cole's level but I would love to see a feud between these two. I actually found the Angle segment useless and overdone but I liked the six-man that came out of it and the idea of KENTA vs. Whitmer has me excited... maybe because of I have a picture of myself and Whitmer with him wearing his NOAH jacket.

Dickinson has been one of my top faces since the promotion started and is supposed to be pretty dominant, and has actually been in a World Heavyweight title feud before, so in this particular region he looks strong and keeps looking strong here with Cole deciding to take a short cut rather than continue to try to survive his onslaught. Cole has picked up some clean wins lately just fine, so having him decide to do this should make Dickinson look stronger, I think. As for the finishing move, I've seen people take the Destroyer from the top, and they typically don't even land on top of their head. If anything, I'd imagine that move to be botched and they probably wouldn't try it again, but Kenny King would be a guy I'd think would be up to try and take it just to get a highlight moment, so I figured I'd go for it. As for Angle wrestling, I don't really want him to, but if I feel like it, I will book him into a match. I don't have any plans to at the moment. As for the segment, I didn't even have it planned. As I was writing the show it just seemed like the best way to actually move from the brawl to an actual match. Even if I booked that somewhere else on the card I'd have probably still needed a segment to make the actual match make some sense and I didn't want to end with another clusterfuck of a brawl, so it seemed to work for me. Anyway, thanks everyone for the comments, they are all appreciated.

I love Candice work so much in PWG, if you need Joey to come up just ask. I like Dickerson here. With all the big names you have , that Rowe, and Dickerson still getting a push.

[Kevin Elliott]

I like your ability to mix in smaller names, such as Dickinson, with some more well known names. I would have to agree with Salyers, though, a “Doomsday Canadian Destroyer” has broken necks, plural intended, written all over it. Hopefully you continue to build Rowe. From my limited times watching him, I like what I see. I would have loved to have seen Roderick Strong and Chris Hero in real life. Good match there. It sucks to see you have released Cage & Konley despite their involvement in this show. Hopefully now that they are picked up by Mid Atlantic, they will still see action in Liberty. Can’t wait for Hero & Rollins. Really liked Cole vs. Dickinson. Shows Cole & Corino will do anything to win. Main event was good and I’m looking forward to KENTA vs. Whitmer, which, while I didn’t see it announced, must be happening.
