Overall a really fun show, interestingly there was a camera crew there filming a documentary about Robbie Ellis. They were outside the venue before the event interviewing people in line and were at ringside for his match.

1. The Colony defeated Vin Gerard and Bull Pain by DQ. Bull Pain hit Solider Ant in the gut with a baseball bat for the DQ. Bull had already used a couple of chairs on the ants outside the ring including a DDT into one but doing that sort of thing in the ring is unacceptable. A bunch of guys came out to back up the Colony after the match and the dastardly duo of Gerard and Bull Pain were suspended for 30 days.

2. Chuck Taylor pinned Hydra after the Omega Driver in a really fun match. Lots of great comedy and Hydra actually gained the upper hand a couple of times including stealing Chuck's imaginary hand grenade. Unfortunately the referee had to apply the Heimlich maneuver to Hydra when he tried to swallow it. Chuck and Hydra worked really well together.

3. Jimmy Olsen wins by pinfall over Player Uno after hitting a alley-oop powerbomb thing and then a piledriver. Another fun match with a couple of wacky spots with Jimmy "pausing" Uno by pressing the joypad button on his leg. A good back and forth encounter until Olsen hit a succession of big moves for the pin.

4. Tim Donst pins Ophidian with a spinning neckbreaker. There seems to be some sort of new storyline here where Tim Donst is seconded by Ultramantis Black and Crossbones from the Order of the Neo Solar Temple. Ophidian played the babyface in the match as it seems Ultramantis was encouraging Tim to cheat. The finish came when Ophidian went to the top rope and with Crossbones causing a distraction for the referee, allowing Ultramantis to push Ophidian from his perch, leading to Donst hitting his move. The Order joined Tim in the ring after the match to congratulate him and despite his victory he had a look of utter bewilderment on his face.

5. Helios scored the win against Amasis following a shooting star press. Another fun back and forth encounter, the story early on was Amasis telling Helios he wasn't allowed to do his "flippy flippy stuff" and would thwart his attempts to do them. For whatever reason, a pocket of children on the opposite side to me were venomously taunting and screaming at Amasis who did a great job of playing up to it.

6. The team of Mike Quackenbush, Shane Storm, Cheech and Cloudy were victorious over the combination of Larry Sweeney, Mitch Ryder, Shane Hawke and Robbie Ellis. A big fun schmozz of flying bodies and quadruple team moves. Robbie Ellis was as popular as the technico team and broke out a couple of big moves like a flying headscissors and a dive to the outside onto six men. Larry Sweeney was destroyed with a triple kick followed by Shane Storm's shining wizard for the pin. Afterwards Ryder, Hawke and Sweeney had words, the latter being blamed for the loss and left alone in the ring.

7. Sabian defeated El Pantera with a FOUL after tricking the referee into looking the other way. Decent little match, not as much high flying from Pantera as usual but still fun.

8. Brodie Lee wins by DQ against Claudio Castagnoli. A great hard hitting match between these two which ended strangely. Referee Derek Sabato was accidentally hit by an errant Castagnoli bicycle kick. Senior official Bryce Remsburg ran out to count a fall after Claudio hit the Riccola Bomb but Sabato had the bell rung right before the count of three and had the Swiss disqualified for kicking him. Lee hit a big yakuza kick on his opponent after the match so this feud must continue!

9. Incoherence retains the Campeonatos de Parejas over Team FIST in a best of three falls match. A great match which started off awesome when Icarus screamed at me about being turned down by a girl in third grade. Delirious told Icarus tonight was the night he was going to be forced to poop his pants. This led to lots of stomach-targeted offense a against Icarus, sadly no atomic drops though. The tables were turned however when Icarus hit a frog splash while wearing what I believe was a LOADED FANNYPACK (A BUMBAG FOR MY FELLOW BRITS) to get the first fall. Delirious ended up charging head first into the loaded pack and was taken out for a little while, but Hallowicked scored the second fall with a sitout spinebuster. The hotly contested match was concluded with a HUUUUUGE double superplex on Gran Akuma. Really good stuff.

Overall a great show marred only by the guy sitting next to me who had horrifically bad breath. Every time he opened his mouth a disgusting cloud of foul odor that smelled like death would waft my way, I could almost hear his teeth screaming out for a dentist to end their agony. Apart from that, everything was great.
