Day 2
May 7th, 2019
Our show begins with Jon and Parker Smith in the ring once again. This time, they have an announcement to make. Jon takes the mic and after welcoming the to the arena - they get right to business. Jon speaks highly of the four teams who are still vying for the North American Tag Team Championships. Also, Jon speaks about the upcoming Midwest Tag Team Championship match that will headline tonight's card. Jon says that after some deliberating, he has decided to make that match a 3 way dance. The crowd gets excited, and also curious as to what team would fill the third slot. Before he can continue - The Hawaiian Hitmen make their way to the ring, wearing their championship titles around their waists. Crossfire says something to the effect that 'they should've been given more notice'. While He has a point, Jon also mentioned how dominant they've been as a tag team, and as long as they stick to doing what they've been doing - they'll be fine.
I-69 made their way to the top of the ramp, and complained that this was their moment, and they wouldn't be upstaged by a third team - nor Jon Smith, who they felt was being unreasonable. Jon stopped them, and said that it was their actions over the past few weeks that made him re-think rewarding only 'them' with the upcoming title shot. I-69 had been injuring wrestlers like Brinley Bishop - They have been doing Oxford Osland's dirty work behind the referee's back - and most recently, they had guaranteed that Alec Kirkland was removed from an opportunity to challenge for the North American Championship.
Jon said that tonight's third team would be comprised of Alec Kirkland and a partner of his choosing. The fans cheered, but not before I-69 took a job.
Sherlock: "That idiot doesn't have any friend, or allies. Is he planning on wrestling us as a 1 man team?"
A few fans in the crowd agreed, and snickered at Sherlock's comments. Jon said that he had confirmed that Alec does indeed have a partner, and that their championship match would fall under elimination rules. May the best team win.
Stunned, both the Hawaiian Hitmen and I-69 went out of their way to voice their displeasure with this decision. In the spirit of tag team completion, the main event of tonight's show certainly got a little more interesting.
NAWC Tag Team Championship
Semi Final
30 Minute Time Limit
The Bhangra Boys [Manjeet & Namjot Rupal] (CJW) 182kgs
vs.
Manos Del Muerte [Hidealgo 19 & Death Adder] (A*P) 427lbs
-
The first semi-final match came with great interest. The Crown Jewel Tag Team Champions have been on a roll, and they're wrestling the team with the most experience of any of the duos in the semi-finals. When the bracket was released, many experts anticipated seeing this contest take place. The early part of the match was an extended feeling out process, as neither team wanted to give the other any sort of advantage. The crowd was clearly behind the brothers Rupal, and they used their speed and agility to keep the Manos team off guard. However, this would be a battle of wits, as each team was versed with their own levels of speed, agility and power. Namjot seemed to shine the brightest in round one, and he picked up where he left off... beating down Hidealgo 19 early on in the contest. Once he made his mark, he would take his bother, and they would execute a variety of double team moves to the delight of the fans.
The tide would turn in the contest, as Death Adder really imposed his will. The reputation of Adder is such that he's the next in line to be the leader of this feared stable - and he showed just what kind of wrestler he was by displaying crisp transitions mixed with high impact offence. Whenever Manjeet thought he had found an escape, his counter was countered - keeping him at bay for long period of time - as the Manos team worked him over in their corner. Frequent tags and double team offence resulted in a couple of near falls. Namjot was almost falling over the top rope because he had his arm extended to the max, while still hanging onto the turnbuckle rope.
Death Adder taunted Namjot, before stomping away on his brother. The crowd started to really get into the contest, as they felt any extra motivation they could serve to help the Rupal's regain equal footing in this contest would be of great significance. Manjeet was able to make an escape, and wisely tag his well rested brother - who went to work on Death Adder and really laid in some heavy shots after being forced to watch the torture his brother was enduring. Hidealgo 19 attempted to put a stop this, but he would find himself on the receiving end of a springboard forearm shot. Namjot grabbed both opponents in front face locks, and dropped them both with simultaneous DDT's. Namjot would cover Death Adder, but receive only two count for his efforts.
Manjeet jumped back into the fray, and the referee seemed to be losing control of the match. The Rupal's were all over the ring, and at one point executed tandem suicide dives to the outside. The fans really got behind them, sensing that this could be the beginning of the end.
At this point, Cieber Raptor came down to ringside to play mind games. The Rupal's became aware of his presence, and seemed to keep eyes on him from a distance. Raptor's presence also seemed to give Death Adder and Hidealgo 19 a 'pick up', as they locked eyes with their stable mate. Death Adder seemed to be the most impacted, it was if he wanted to show his brethren that had this situation firmly in control. As Hidealgo 19 was in the ring, attempting to regain control, he was sent into the ropes, where Death Adder slapped his back, creating a blind tag. Once Manjeet had his back turned, Adder ran up behind him and executed an impactful elevated reverse DDT. The crowd OOOHED at the impact. Hidealgo looked surprised, and Cieber Raptor yelled for him to clear Namjot off of the apron, which he did.
At that point Death Adder picked Manjeet up and snapped him down quickly with a Brainbuster - before floating over to hook the leg and secure the three count.
Result: Manos Del Muerte defeat The Bhangra Boys via Brainbuster [22:54]

Backstage the duo of Reggie Taylor and Jamal Williams were standing in front of the MPW logo, and started talking trash. The Duo collectively known as Spin Cycle told Manuel Mayorga that they haven't forgotten how he got into their business when they wanted to teach that 'punk' Santiago Ortega a lesson.
Jamal piped up and said he didn't care much about Edgar Delgado's mission or where he came from. He said on the street of Harlem you never know what might come your way. The same can be said for Bloodline, and their match on Day 3. Williams said that they would stop Delgado's raise before it could begin, and do so with a smile.

NAWC Tag Team Championship
Semi Final
30 Minute Time Limit
White Hot Anger [Yaz and Roger Stevens] (A*P) 424lbs
vs.
The World Beaters [Dave Thompson and Jason Brown] (CJW) 234kgs
-
The second semi final was very hard hitting, and a completely different style from the first match which was based more on skill, speed and agility. Roger Stevens has the reputation of someone you don't want to mess around with - but so does Jason Thompson, and watching those two hit each other as hard as they could was a highlight of the tournament so far. The fans could be heard chanting - more more more. Stevens would tag in Yaz frequently to offset his bruising power with more technical approach. Yaz picked up the victory for his team on Day 1, and was feeling great heading into the second bout. In fact, White Hot Anger had been very thorough in their defeat of the Sons of Soil - while the World Beaters had to really give it their all against FIGHT:UK. One would imagine that the hangover form day 1 could come into play in this contest.
The tide would shift around the twelve minute mark into more of a one sided affair. It appeared as though Jason Brown was wearing some of the battle wounds from yesterday, and was easy pickings for Roger Stevens at multiple moments. Stevens executed a variety of technically sound power moves for a man of his size. Brown would be down for the two count, before Thompson entered the ring to break up the pin. Yaz told the referee to call for a DQ - but the referee said he has five seconds to enter the ring.
Stevens put Brown in a sleeper hold, and really leaned on him to wear him down. Brown was able to eventually get to his feet, and elbowed Stevens in the stomach to get free. A quick tag to Thompson and he and Roger were right back to lighting each other up with stiff strikes. Thompson ended up ducking a wild swing, and stop kicking Stevens into his corner, where Yaz reached for the tag. Suddenly all four men were in proximity and started pairing off to battle. The World Beaters earned the advantage, and were using non verbal cues to direct one and other. With Thompson and Yaz being the legal men, Thompson realized this and motioned for Brown to low blow him. The referee didn't see it, and Brown went low, but instead reached up with a throat thrust, that stumbled Yaz. Thompson was able to discard Stevens from the ring - before rushing forward and annihilating Yaz with a lariat. Once Yaz had landed on the mat stomach first, Thompson grabbed his right leg and synched in his Single Leg Crab Submission. The referee was asking Yaz if he wanted to continue, but the tork on the hold ended up being too much, and he submitted.
Result: The World Beaters defeat White Hot Anger via Single Leg Crab [19:36]

Before The World Beaters could get too comfortable with their victory, Manos Del Muerte Stood atop the stage. The two team locked eyes, and exchanged vicious stares. What a final it will be.

Main Event
Midwest Tag Team Championship
45 Minute Time Limit
The Hawaiian Hitmen (c) [Crossfire & Buckshot] (464lbs)
vs.
I-69 [Wayne Sherlock & Allan Joseph] (471lbs)
vs.
Alec Kirkland & ?
-
The Midwest Tag Team champions were out first, and the crowd greeted them with strong applause. Crossfire stomped all over the ring as if he was claiming it as his turf. Buckshot said that this was their house, and they were out first to remind everyone that they're the best tag team today. I-69 was out next to a strong chorus of boos. Oxford Osland was out with them, wearing the North American Championship belt over his shoulder and talking smack to the fans. Claiming they would be bringing home more gold tonight and the only reason that Midwestern Pro is as 'hot' as it is right now, is because of the championship gold around his waist. The two teams locked eyes from across the ring, and shouted a few words at one and other.
A cold entrance, as no entrance music followed. Alec Kirkland was out first and he stopped in the middle of the aisle. He turned back, and out walked Kenneth Marshall. The crowd popped not expecting to see Kenneth Marshall here tonight. The last they saw of him, he was working in the deep south, and he had a very dysfunctional relationship/rivalry with Alec Kirkland. The men in the ring seemed genuinely surprised, and suddenly a little more perturbed, as Kenneth Marshall had proven himself to quite the force as of late. For now, it appears as though the two Eastern Canadian grapplers were putting aside their rivalry to dispose of some common enemies.
Kenneth Marshall looked to be in fantastic shape, and he called out Crossfire to start the match with him. That moment set the tone, as it was clear that Marshall and Kirkland were planning to walk right towards the 'bullies' of the playground and settle their differences like men. Marshall at one point seemed to forget that it was a tag team affair, as he spent the majority of the first five minute of the match in the ring along, fighting off Crossfire or both members of I-69. Marshall would eventually tag in Kirkland, and the two men executed a few double team moves to the surprise of many in attendance. Clearly all of those matches against one and other had given them each some insight into how the other wants to operate - which was yielding dividends in this contest.
The match would wage on, until around the 17 minute mark, where the first elimination would take place. It was here that we realized we would be crowning new champions, as Wayne Sherlock and Allan Joseph would execute a spike piledriver on Buckshot, leaving him laying. Sherlock would make the cover and the referee would count to three.
1st eliminated: The Hawaiian Hitmen via Spike Piledriver on Buckshot [18:12]
Oxford Osland would shout instructions at his hand picked entourage. Osland was now staring down two of his top challengers to his North American Championship and they're out for revenge against him and his goon squad. Marshall looked right at Osland and told him that his days are numbered. Kirkland sprung into action and was on fire battling both Joseph and Sherlock. I-69 had left Kirkland laying the past few weeks, and taken some serious liberties in the process. It was now time for their receipt, and Kirkland had the back up to ensure he could get his licks in. When it was time to make the switch, Marshall came in fluently and wore down Joseph with multiple duplex variations.
The finish to the match came when Kirkland and Marshall executed a double backdrop driver on Allan Joseph. Marshall stood in front of Kirkland who was applying the pin and begged for Sherlock and Osland to come into the ring to take him on. Instead, they allowed the pinfall to take place without interruption. The Referee called for the bell and handed the Midwest Tag Team Championships to Alec Kirkland and Kenneth Marshall. The two men shook hands in victory, before Marshall raised Kirkland's hand in victory. Somewhere, Gus Arnold is smiling, having finally seen two of his top students put their differences aside to become a force as a unit.
The fans erupted with cheers, and the show concluded with Marshall and Kirkland posing with their championship titles at each corner of the ring.
