The following Supershow will take place at the Mississauga Convention Centre on February 11th, 2019 in Mississauga, Ontario.
Our show opened with Matthew Saunders standing in the middle of the ring. Saunders spoke about giving his roster the best opportunity to succeed, and he felt as though the matches that were going to be presented tonight would help position his talented roster for success. Saunders went over the Main Event, and the history between the two teams. He ran a highlight package of the Aaron Vasquez vs. Crossfire match from last month where Crossfire hit a Samoan Drop from the stage onto the concrete floor – leaving Vasquez with a concussion, and himself with lingering injuries. Saunders said that he wanted these two teams to settle it inside of the ring, and if violence should prevail – there will be a cage keeping them contained.
Before Saunders could continue any further – Haruyo Osaki, Yuji Ohtani, Sato Watanabe and Tetsu Kondo all walked to the ring in their street clothes. Not one of these men looked ready to compete. In fact, Ohtani was set to open the show in mere moments against Santiago Ortega. Kondo grabbed a mic from the time keeper, and walked into the ring. The four men from the land of the rising sun stood in the ring across from Saunders. Kondo began speaking Japanese in an aggressive tone, more or less berating Saunders. The crowd looked confused, as there wasn’t anyone there to translate – and Saunders didn’t have the slightest idea of what Kondo was talking about. The one thing we did understand, was that Saunders didn’t seem to appreciate the level of defiance Kondo was showing him.
A few moments passed, and Ohtani started to play charades and was physically demonstrating what appeared to be ‘Godzilla’ like posture, while jumping up and down and pointing towards the backstage area. Ohtani then made scary faces, signifying that there was some entity somewhere in the building, and he wasn’t happy about it. Osaki then grabbed the mic and slammed it down to the ground. He didn’t speak, but his body language basically told Saunders that he and his crew of wrestlers weren’t going to participate in the show. Watanabe walked across to Saunders and said’ NO!’ Ohtani kept making strange faces, while Kondo started to exit the ring. He pointed at Saunders in disgust – and before long, the three other men followed him out of the ring.
As the four men exited the ring area, it was clear that they had no interest in competing tonight. This put a major wrench in tonight’s show, as they accounted for two of the matches. Before Saunders could gather his thoughts – the North American Cruiserweight Champion; Willard Manchester along with Liam Beesley and Oliver Stewart [FIGHT:UK] made their way to the ring area. They mocked the Japanese team, who had essentially forfeited the match they were about to have. Manchester gloated about his recent victory and thus becoming the NAWC Cruiserweight Champion.
Saunders warned Manchester not to push his luck, and since he was out there to flex his muscles – Saunders decided to force the champion to put his money where his mouth was. Instead of FIGHT:UK competing in a six match tag team match, Willard Manchester would wrestle Santiago Ortega – who was also left without an opponent. The crowd cheered, as it appeared as though Manchester’s jawing had backfired. Saunders said that he was unable to make the contest a championship match, as he had to get an unanimous vote from his colleagues in the NAWC office.
Saunders looked at the other two members of FIGHT:UK, and assured them they would stay busy tonight as well. Saunders said he had been looking for the proper way to bring in his ‘new team’ from Scotland. The two lads from England snarled at the inkling that a team from Scotland would be much of a test. At this point – Scottish Strong Style was introduced, and made their way to the ring. Calum Ross and Hugh Gabriel walked out wearing their matching Jackets with the Scottish Flag across their backs. The Duo looked ready, while Stewart and Beesley looked a little shocked that they were about to go into combat. At this point, Saunders had successfully altered his show tonight, and kept the fans happy.
Tag Team Match
(20 Minute Time Limit)
FIGHT:UK (483lbs) vs. Scottish Strong Style (460lbs)
Result: Time Limit Draw [20:00]
Reaction: This bout turned personal very quickly, as the rivalry between Scotland and England was ever present in this contest. Gabriel and Ross looked to have very strong chemistry, and utilized an assortment of double team attacks to get the fans behind them, and tipping their hats to the tag team enthusiasts who were watching. The fans were all over FIGHT: UK, especially as Manchester stayed at ringside, and tried to inject himself into the contest, to change the momentum of the contest. The referee had to pull the four men apart after the bell sounded to call the match a draw. Beesley seemed to take exception to how well the Scottish Duo fared in their match against them, and even went as far to spit in their direction once the referee had separated them.
Singles Match
(30 Minute Time Limit)
White Light II (202lbs) vs. Irwin Collins (222lbs)
Winner: Irwin Collins defeats White Light II via Rule-Breaking School Boy [16:13]
Reaction: What started out as a respectful wrestling match between two men, ended in controversy as Irwin Collins collected his biggest victory to date. Collins and Light shook hands before the match, and during the feeling out process – both men stayed on the proper side of the rules. At every turn, there was a clean break, followed by a competitive nod to the other man. What made the events of the finish even more shocking, was after the match was over, White Light confronted the referee and Collins about the blatant use of leverage from holding onto Light’s wrestling trunks. Collins swore that everything he did was legal, and called ‘WL’ a sore loser. When Light turned his back to talk to the referee, Collins hit him with a running knee into the small of his back. As Light keeled over, Collins grabbed a front face lock, and spiked Light down to the mat with force. Once Collins popped up, he smirked to the crowd. The referee then got in between Collins and the fallen ‘WL’. Collins brushed his shoulder, showing the world that he felt as though White Light was ‘nothing’ to him.
After putting forth a strong showing in the Cruiserweight Tournament, Irwin Collins inevitably came up short, and didn’t make the final four. This was either a measure of revenge, or insight into Collins’ updated approach to wrestling.
Cruiserweight Showcase [Non-Title]
(30 Minute Time Limit)
Willard Manchester © (195lbs) vs. Santiago Ortega (217lbs)
Winner: Willard Manchester defeats Santiago Ortega via Inside Heel Hook [15:34]
Reaction: Santiago Ortega pushed the current Cruiserweight Champion to the limit in this contest, and carved out a spot in the crowd’s hearts with his performance. After having a great match with White Light early on in International Influence, this served as a fantastic follow up. Ortega would end up coming up short on this occasion, and succumbed to a heel hook that Manchester transitioned to out of nowhere. It seems as though Manchester’s ground prowess has been impossible to solve for everyone at this point in time. Manchester held onto the championship tightly, and hoisted it over his head after being declared the winner.
Manchester would look into the camera at ringside, and declare that it was going to take much more than a match change to up-end his current win streak. As a side note, Manchester did come to the ring on his own, as he is usually flanked by the rest of FIGHT:UK. We were left to assume that their battle with Scottish Strong Style had taken its toll on them, and were receiving medical attention in the back during this contest.
Main Event
Steel Cage Match
Open Weight Tag Team Championship
The Hawaiian Hitmen (c) (469lbs) vs. The QB:K9's (465lbs)
Winners: The Hawaiian Hitmen Retained via Top Rope Tombstone on Lukey Luck [28:35]
Reaction: Everything about this main event was not for the faint of heart. These four men succeeded in tearing each other apart for the better part of twenty five minutes, before a top rope tombstone by Crossfire to Lukey Luck would be enough to disable the K9’s long enough for Crossfire to exit through the cage door, securing the victory. Both teams were bloody from the opposite team using the cage as a weapon. Vasquez would seem to have taken the major brunt of the onslaught handed out by the ‘Hitmen’ and showed massive heart in refusing to go down quietly. Once the winners had been established, Vasquez grabbed his QB:K9 teammate and with what energy he had left, executed a frog splash from the top of the steel cage. This would be the second time that ‘Luck’ had cost the team the championships in as many tries, and Vasquez had grown tired of carrying the duo.
As the Hawaiian Hitmen exited the cage, they walked over to grab their Open Weight Tag Team Championships. Although they both appeared tired and disoriented, they took a moment to relish in their victory. Suddenly a loud siren started to blast over the PA system. The top of the stage had turned ‘blood red’. Two men walked from backstage and both men were wearing massive metal masks that covered their faces and rested on their shoulders. The crowd looked stunned, and the arena stayed silent.
Before long, we could deduce that these were the same two men who had made their presence known at a recent Midwestern Pro show on January 25th. The two men stood blocking the aisle, so that the Hawaiian hitmen were unable to continue their triumphant march towards the top of the stage. The larger of the two men stood with his arms crossed, while the medium sized man slithered in front of the larger man and started to make wild gestures in the air. Crossfire and Buckshot stood still for a moment, before looking at eachother and deciding to engage in combat.
Crossfire who is built like a small house, charge forward. The medium sized man quickly ducked low to execute a trip, which had Crossfire stumble into a MASSIVE boot of the taller man. The boot rocked Crossfire’s jaw, and completely laid him out. The crowd gasped. Buckshot refused to back down, and tried to engage in battle for his fallen ally – but he would be taken down by the medium sized man, who would slapped on an ankle lock, while the large man jumped and stomped on the back of Buckshot’s head. Buckshot laid there motionless, as the crowd gasped once again.
The two men adjusted their large demon like metal head pieces ever so slightly, before continuing to march towards the ring. Vasquez had just realized that these two men were walking towards the ring, so he decided to close the cage door, and attempted to lock it from the inside. Before he could succeed, the larger man walked up to the cage – and with two heavy boots, lodged the door free, sending Vasquez falling backwards next to Lukey Luck, who laid motionless.
Vasquez retreated, but only for a moment. He started to climb the ropes, and then the cage. It wasn’t like Vasquez to back down, and he certainly wasn’t about to start. Vasquez launched himself from nearly the top of the steel cage, but he was met with a vicious throat thrust from the medium sized man. Vasquez rolled around on the ground, trying to catch his breath. The two men stood there, watching Vasquez suffer, as he tried to catch his breath, and neither man seemed bothered.
At this point Matthew Saunders was out from the back, and you could see that he was ordering his ring crew to raise the cage, so that he could gain access to the ring, without feeling trapped. Saunders never once took his eyes off the two men, as they stood in the middle of the ring with no intention of moving. Saunders called for the medics, as he pulled both Vasquez and Luck out of the ring. Once Saunders had the medical staff present, and knew they would take things from there – he turned his attention back to the ring.
Saunders grabbed a mic, and started to ask – who they were, and what were they doing there? The two men stayed still with their arms crossed. Saunders encouraged the two men to Identify themselves, and said that they were not guests of his. When the duo refused to respond, Saunders used words like police, and trespassing.
At the top of the stage, Tetsu Kondo, Sato Watanabe, Haruyo Osaki and Yuji Ohtani all stood together in a line. They were trash talking in Japanese. Kondo even mustered a few words towards Saunders. “I Told You.” Ohtani kept making faces, and looking nervous as if he had seen a Ghost. Saunders turned his attention to the four Japanese Men who stood together at the top of the stage. He asked for their ‘help’. Instead, the four men backed away, refusing to get involved. Once the two men in metal masks saw the four Japanese Men were backing away, and heading backstage – they exited the ring, looking to follow them.
The show would end with the paramedics checking on both the QB:K9’s as well as the Open Weight Champions; The Hawaiian Hitmen.
