Heavyweight Championship Warm Up Match: Danny S vs GPW Heavyweight Champion The Juggernaught w/ AAA Tasker

The Juggernaught was out to send a message to the winner of the Number One Contenders Match later in the night and didn't waste time in delivering that message. The Juggernaught pretty much bulldozed his way through the new comer and at one point, gorilla pressed the kid to the outside and it was only down to sheer guts and determination that Danny made it back to the ring. However his luck soon ran out as Juggernaught smashed through him one more time with a huge lariat and got the pinfall victory.

GPW: "Truth & Consequences".CC8 4-Way Qualifier Crazy Cruiser 8 Qualifier: Voodoo vs Matty Taylor vs Jack Toxic vs Ricky J. Mckenzie w/ Rebecca Jayne.

The show kicked off in explosive fashion as 4 of the top junior heavyweights in England fought to be the first man guranteed a place in the Crazy Cruiser8 Tournament 2009. It was every man for himself but that did not Matty Taylor from persuading RJM to re enact the popular WKD facebuster/dropkick combo. After lots of action in the ring, the fight spilled to the outside where the wrestlers took to the air with a series of dives, each more awe inspiring then the last. Returning to the ring, Jack Toxic caught Voodoo with an anklelock submission on Voodoo only to leave himself in position for RJM to connect with an impressive Swanton Bomb on the "Not so average wrestler" or so he claims, RJM got the cover and Jack and the pinfall and advances into the Crazy Cruiser 8 in November.

Paradise Lost faced a tough battle in their first defence of the Tag Team Trophy in the form of number one contenders, Valour and Roberts who had defeated Lethal Dose and The Mystics in a triple threat match back in July. This was tag team warfare at its best with both teams controlling the match for long periods and only the tiniest of mistakes caused each side to lose it. Valour and Roberts nearly had the trophy won on several occasions but it was the veteran instinct of Heresy that turned the tide and saw Valour put himself in a precarious position which led allowed Heresy and Kastor Le Vay to hit their Doomsday Bulldog double team finisher on Valour and that was enough on this night, to defeat the challengers. That being said next time these two teams meet the outcome could very easily go the other way.

 

"British Title Showdown featuring British Champion Sam Bailey and CC8 2008 Winner and British Title Number One Contender "The Juice" CJ Banks.

CJ Banks hit the ring first with his entourage not long after the ring announcer, Sam Shaw had announced that Banks along with Bubblegum (the inaugural tournament winner back in 2006) and Joey Hayes would all be in the 2009 tournament. Banks said he would be entering the tournament not as a previous winner but also as British Champion. Bailey hit the ring and challenged Banks to put his money where his mouth is, if he wanted a British title shot so badly he should be prepared to defend his spot in the coveted tournament. Banks, not one to back down agreed and the stage is set for a huge main event at Friday Night Thriller in October.

GPW Heavyweight Title No.1 Contenders Match DDL vs. Dirk Feelgood

Both men had something to prove in this one, Dirk of course was one of the most successful GPW Champions to date and is very keen on regaining his spot at the top. Meanwhile DDL is on a quest to win the illustrious crown of GPW titles. He has already won the British title (on 4 occasions no less) and recently had a very successful run as one half of the tag team champions with best friend Joey Hayes until the team was forced to split forever back in July. This match was also a first time encounter between the two, they have never wrestled each other one on one in GPW prior to this match. That being said it seemed each had done his homework on the other as Dirk managed to avoid Damon's triple elbow sequence, causing Damon to land awkwardly on the mat an injury which gave Dirk the advantage for sometime. Damon by contrast had many of Dirk's moves well scouted as well.

The crowd was later stunned when Dirk dug down deep and managed to kick out of Damon's celebrated Risk Factor move, a move noone had kicked out of previously and Damon kicked out of Dirks mulekick to the face. At this point the crowd were on the edge of their seats as both men, battered and bruised and no doubt exhausted after a near 20 minute war but it was Damon who ultimately triumphed when he caught Dirk with his STF submission hold right in the centre of the ring. There clearly was no escape for Dirk on this one and he had no choice but to tap out. Your NEW Number One Contender is "Dangerous" Damon Leigh! After the match GPW Champion The Juggernaught had a staredown with his new foe, when will this match take place? You'll have to keep attending the shows to find out!

Kirby confronts Marsden!

Martin Kirby called out Luke Marsden and challenged him to a fight right there in the Monaco Ballroom. The BB 2009 finalist had other ideas and informed Martin and the fans that he had found a substitute, well actually it was 4 substitutes, The Eastern Bloc.

Handicap Match: Martin Kirby vs the Eastern Bloc
Never before had Martin Kirby ever faced such impossible odds but he seemed to put that thought to the back of his mind for the duration of this contest. Martin's bravery and courage gave him a slight advantage of his opponents in the early going until the numbers game became too much for Hindleys own superstar. Every time it seemed Kirby would manage to win the match, Thor Larsen, the biggest and strongest member of the Bloc was there to thwart him. Realising this, Kirby used the monsters strength to his advantage and after knocking down Domintrescu, Radkov and Eganski with a unique triple DDT, he tripped Thor who landed on his allies giving Martin the necessary leverage to gain a pinfall victory over his foes.

Martin was not done yet however, with the Bloc incapacitated, Martin finally got his hands on Marsden and grabbed a bin from the ringside area and despite Marsden's protestations, Kirby finally got his revenge, Marsden ended up in the bin. How Marsden will recover from this setback remains to be seen. Nevertheless the fans in attendance were thrilled with Martin's actions, glad to see the arrogant Marsden had finally been put in his place.

No Holds Barred Main Event Danny Hope vs. Jiggy Walker

This rivalry had been building ever since January and finally reached boiling point in one of British's wrestlings most dangerous matches. These two did not exchange holds for very long and the fight soon spilled out into the crowd where the two made great use of their surroundings and fists and feet were flying all over the Monaco Ballroom. With the crowd fully behind Danny Hope he gained control of the match. Jiggy did everything he could to try and put his former friend and tag team partner away, even connecting with the dreaded Curb Stomp but Danny would not be denied and finished off Jiggy after his underhook faceplant to the knee with a teeth shattering Superkick (his third in that match overall) to finally end the feud between the two. In appreciation of his efforts, the fans gave Danny a standing ovation.
