_______________________________________________________________

Tag Team Match : The New Breed defeated Xavier Woods & R-Truth when Richie Steamboat made Xavier Woods submit to an armbar submission in 12:28.
    The New Breed continued their reign of supremacy as they dismantled Woods and Truth. After the match Truth decked Steamboat with a chair, and left the ring.

_______________________________________________________________

CPW Junior Heavyweight Championship Match : Christian (c) pinned Dolph Ziggler with the Killswitch in 12:4 to retain the CPW Junior Heavyweight Championship.
    Dolph came sooooo close to winning the CW title, bu tit was not meant to be, as Christian was able to slip out of Dolph's attempted Zig-Zag and hit his Killswitch to retain the title.

_______________________________________________________________

One on One Match : Harry Smith pinned Danny Delta with the Saito Suplex in 05:54.
    Harry dominated this match. Other than that, not much to note.

_______________________________________________________________

One on One Match : Jack Swagger pinned Lance Archer after a Blue Thunder Bomb in 06:16.
    Lance took it to Jack, and came close on several occasion to getting the win, but in the end, jack pulled out a BTB to secure the win.

_______________________________________________________________

CPW Television Championship Match : Damien Sandow (c) pinned The Miz with the Straight Jacket Neckbreaker in 10:57 to retain the CPW Television Championship.
    Sandow once again picked up a huge win. He came close on a few occasions to losing the title,to Miz, but in the end, capitalized on a high risk error from Miz to get the win and retain his title.

_______________________________________________________________

One on One Match : Alex Riley pinned Eric Young with the Lifting DDT in 10:12.
    A good back and forth match between Riley and young. Both men showcased their skills and looked to move up the card.

_______________________________________________________________

One on One Match : Rik Cozak pinned Orlando Jordan with the Final Round in 10:35.
    Rik came out and showed why CPW hired him. O-J looked to show that he is not a one-pin wonder, but was not up to the challenge of the younger Cozak.

_______________________________________________________________

Tag Team Match : The Hybrid Athletes defeated The Impact Players when Kyle Matthews defeated Zack Ryder when Zack Ryder passed out in the Hidaka Lock in 13:03 after Roberto Rodriguez interfered against Zack Ryder.
    A great tag match. These two teams worked very well together and the fans loved to hate the Athletes, and it showed as ADR cheated at every turn and Kyle let loose on the viciousness.

_______________________________________________________________

Four Corners Match : Austin Aries defeated Low Ki, Matt Cross and Evan Bourne to become the number one contender for the CPW Junior Heavyweight Championship.
    This was a great match, possibly the match of the night. All four men battled to their limit. In the end, Aries stood tall and raised the arm of Matt Cross. Aries then called out the champion and challenged him to a title match, saying he has dominated the division.

Fall 1 : Low Ki beat Evan Bourne via the Dragon Clutch in 05:50
Fall 2 : Matt Cross beat Low Ki via the Death From Above in 16:57
Fall 3 : Austin Aries beat Matt Cross via a 450 splash in 22:42

_______________________________________________________________

CPW Contenders Match #3 : Robert Roode and Cody Rhodes battled to a double pin in 15:13.
    Both men battled back and forth. The fans were standing from bell to bell waiting to see who would become the top contender to Ted and the CPW Championship. In the end, both men were down and out after a Superplex from Roode, but as they both laid each moved an arm at the same time and 'covered the other. The ref counted both men, and declared the match a draw.

_______________________________________________________________

CPW Heavyweight Championship Match : Ted DiBiase (c) pinned Rob Van Dam with the Dream Street in 10:44 to retain the CPW Heavyweight Championship after Sting interfered against Rob Van Dam.
    Ted cheated to try and keep his title. RVD used his skills to try and take the title. Both men meshed well in a very well put together match. Sting was a factor, as he tripped up RVD. Ted capitalized on Stings distraction and started taking the match to its conclusion. After the match, Ted stood in the ring and held up the title, as the show ended.

Seems a little strange to me that RVD was getting the title match here when he just lost a clean finish to Randy Orton. Kind of strange to see Danny Delta lose two matches on this show. Thirteen matches is also a lot of matches to have on one event. Beyond that, it was cool to see the double pin finish with Roode and Rhodes. I also think Aries was the right guy to go over in that four way, though I could have easily seen Low Ki getting the nudge. For this division and promotion, though, Aries seems to be more the fit for a possible future champion. I'd have rather seen Young go over Riley, as I think he's much more impressive, but that was kind of a throw away anyway. I'm actually kind of curious about some of the match placing here, as the Junior Heavyweight contendership match was placed much higher than the actual title match. I think both the Jr. and TV championship matches might have been made to look a little more important if they'd have been placed over the Riley/Young and Cozak/Jordan matches, not to mention the other matches that came after the Jr. title. I'd have liked to see that Swagger/Archer match, as that is an interesting match up. I think you probably could have gone without the dark matches, though, and put Roman Reigns on this PPV instead of Danny Delta against Harry Smith and made something of that, as that's also a very interesting contest I hope we see in the future.

Thanks. I was trying to get every one some work on the last day of the month. I am trying to work on a format that works for CPW, so look for some changes in the coming weeks. As for Delta getting two matches, either that was an error on my part, or he volunteered to fill in (or both).
