Another Sunday Slam!
First up was a rematch from No Going Back with Sunday Slam Champion Venym facing Saint-George. With Saint-George having won their previous encounter after hitting Venym with a lowblow, Venym was out to even the score. This was another great match between these two, almost as good as before. Saint-George pushed the boundaries as usual but this time Venym took the victory over Saint-George after a cracking lionsault. After the match, Venym held his hand out to Saint-George, however the defeated Englishman refused to shake his hand, instead spitting on it. These guys certainly seem to bring the best (and worst) out of each other and with each having a victory under their belt, I would love to see them go face to face again in a decider!
With Venym still in the ring, General Manager Jason McKinlay out and announced that as Venym was not one to back down from a fight, he would be defending the Sunday Slam Title in a pre-show 10 man elimination match at Never Back Down on 4 April.
Next out to the ring was a certain Rob Mills who would face Disturbed. I have found it difficult to give Mills hell for obvious reasons but at this event, that changed. Mills came out to the ring with a darker look and some serious attitude and actually managed to silence the Loudmouth with some of his comments - so I told Disturbed to give him an extra slap from me and proceeded to cheer for Disturbed! A cracking wee match followed with some lovely high flying moves from both guys. Disturbed finally got the pinfall after leaping from the turnbuckle and landing an elbow to the chest of a prone Mills. This turned out to be my Match of the Day - and before I get accused of being biased, it had nothing to do with the fact that my son was in the match and everything to do with match itself. From the moves to the banter, this was the match I enjoyed the most that day, even though I spent part of it gobsmacked!
The first half main event saw Falcon face Craig "The Firestorm" Valant. This was one of those weird matches where you had two "good guys" and didn't know who to shout for, but each had a small group of fans in the crowd and there was a bit of banter between the wrestlers and fans. Both guys were in good form and this match went back and forth, with one guy looking to be firmly in control only for the other to counter and almost take the victory. This really could have gone either way and both men deserved the win but this time the victory went to Valant who hit Falcon with "The Firestorm" and scored a three count.
The second half of the show kicked off with Sambroso Maestro facing Jackie Grady, who came out wearing a Pingu t-shirt and doing the slow-motion Baywatch style entrance. Then the guest referee was announced - none other than Westy - just how fair would he be in a match featuring his tag partner? After a "pose-off" between Grady and Sambroso the match got underway with Sambroso dominating much of it. It was Grady who was victorious, managing to escape from "Debo Numero Dos" and countering with his "Hamburger Time" submission hold, forcing Sambroso to tap out.
As ring announcer Sully started to announce the next match, the SOS music started playing and Scott Renwick and Darren Lewis appeared wearing their title belts upside down. Lewis then proceeded to tell the crowd that this was not done in error but was their way of showing their disrespect for not only the titles but for the company as a whole and the fans themselves. He then mentioned the "hot-shot rising star" who would be facing SOS later that afternoon and told the crowd they were lucky as they would see SOS destroy that person, threatening to hospitalise whoever was dumb enough to face them as their destruction of Reckless Intent continued.
The penultimate match was Davidian Fury vs Westy. Fury came out full of himself and chose once again to pick on a child in the crowd, frightening the girl to point she actually wanted to leave and causing me to once again get in his face. Once Westy got in the ring, Fury continued his bully-boy ways, beating down the youngster. The referee was knocked from the ring during the beatdown at which point Mikey got into the ring, gave Fury a good dose of his own medicine and left Westy to cover him for the three count as the referee crawled back into the ring. Things were not over for "The Westler" who made to leave by the main door, pursued by Fury, only to be surprised by Craig Valant who pinned Westy under the 24/7 rule to become the new Hardcore champion. This reign would be shortlived - as he celebrated in the ring, he was hit by ring announcer Sully who then scored the pinfall to take the belt!
For the main event, SOS members Darren Lewis and Scott Renwick returned to the ring, before The Originals, Mikey and Rawlins introduced their opponents - Theo Doros and JJ Russell. Russell once again used his humour in the ring to reduce Renwick into tears of laughter, much to the annoyance of Lewis. This lead to a brutal beatdown of newcomer Doros for much of the match, although there was a glimmer of hope when Russell got the tag. Unfortunately, the experience of the SOS was too much and Renwick hit Doros with "The Angels Wings" as Russell was dealt a cradleshock by Lewis before they were both pinned.
Just when we thought it was all over, as Sully thanked everyone for attending AJ Russell sneaked up from behind and once again the Hardcore title changed hands...only for Craig Valant to appear and hit him with "The Firestorm" to become Hardcore champion for the second time that day.
Another cracking Sunday afternoon show and lots to look forward to for their next show back at Murieston (which took place on 4 April and a blog will be uploaded on that show very soon).
