FILMED EARLIER IN THE DAY
National Trivia Day
A rather recognizable redhead acts as an Ascension Auxiliary aboard her London-bound Kayfabe Airlines flight. An on-board camera captures footage of Azurine Vebbins explaining safety protocols. What perplexes passengers, however, is that the message sounds modified.
Azurine Vebbins: Greetin’s, folk! Ascension Auxiliary Azurine Vebbins here wishin’ you pleasant passage to London durin’ da wee hours of da mornin’. As some of you might be aware, I’m competin’ in a ballet rumba for Modern Pro Wrestlin’. Figure since it’s National Trivia Day you wouldn’t mind me tossin’ da routine rigamarole out like Avery Smid. Da bird’s brilliant, but she’s listed last on da marquee. Hence, if anyone’s gettin’ jettisoned first, it’d be da dame who’s not TV Title-tiered talent. Jessica Carter will be dispatched in a similar fashion second.
After her, eliminations would be some-din’ of a lightin’ round. Hands on your Brunzell Buzzers, contestants! Which pair of sisters are gettin’ double clodes-lined, dropkicked, or superkicked next off my dance floor? Yes, it’s Yua and Yui Watanabe. Additionally, please feel free to push da button on your Brunzell Buzzer if you’re in need of refreshments. Speakin’ of, yours truly will most likely be drinkin’ in Daphne Martini. Well, I notion a couple sips before she’s slammed onto da arena floor like a shot glass after her bar exam.
Some of you would argue Kelly Kash has a credible chance to be last dame dancin’. Faced her bro-der Kasey before and he’s certainly a wildcard when added to a shuffle. Den again, I’m not gonna fold if we’re da final two who tango on da tussle table. Abigail Grim, likewise, is someone who doesn’t play wid a full deck. Instead, “Da Queen of Ultraviolence” seems more intent on royal flush strikin’ opponents wid foreign objects. If she were on dis flight, dat brawlin’ broad would require a straitjacket of several seatbelts.
As da field of dose featured narrows, I’d like to remind everyone dat we have emergency exits on eider side of Row Dir-teen as well as at da front and rear of da vessel. Sylvie Dorn and Kaya Parker are talented in deyr own right, but I don’t view eider one winnin’ dis waltz. Da only entrant wid equal or more experience dan myself in dis merengue is Patti Rose. She’s someone I’ve been attemptin’ to cross off my Dream Dance List for years. Unfortunately for her, “Da Vivacious Variable” shall figure out how to take her out of da equation.
Dis leaves Eddie Decks, Lola Dane, Blaze Darlin’, and Lil Tigre Blanco. Dey’re a fearsome foursome who I notion removin’ everyone else until it’s down to dem versus me. Viewed Eddie spar and she’s got a fierce Figure Four Necklock in her arsenal. Reminds me dat I should probably polish my own neck halo before we touch down in Heed-row. Pop Quiz. Who’s da only lass on da Mod Pro Wrestlin’ who was nominated twice for “dream dances?” Yes, it was “Da Adorkable Angel.” I brin’ da factoid up since chanters clamored for me to face Blaze Darlin’ and Lil Tiger Blanco individually. Bode are exquisite. I’ll most likely check dem bode off my list before Double M-Double X-Triple I’s done. On January 4, however, neider’s findin’ da correct answer on how to defeat “Da Damsel in Dat Dress.” Finally, deyr’s Lola Dane. She’s an anomaly. If dis was Pandora’s Box at Da Velvet Rabbit, we’d probably recreate her happy Halloween dominatin’ my cheeky Christmas. Dat’s more of a private performance, dough. Hence, I’m savin’ a Pearly Gatekeeper just for her. She’ll receive it when she’s in an upright position against da left-leanin’ learnin’ ropes. I appreciate you hearin’ dis rasslin’ rigamarole. Plase enjoy da remainin’ time of your flight.
“Da Adorkable Angel” gives a saccharine smile to the camera as it blinks off suddenly and cuts straight to ringside to see an excited sold out arena for MPW's first Supershow. 'Modern World' by The Jam blares out over the speakers as the commentators give a run down of the night's events before the opening match gets underway.
We cut backstage, in a dark secluded corridor of the arena. There we see Jessi Ozborne, in full wrestling gear, standing right in front of a camera. She speaks straight down the lens, her body language indicating that she has a lot to get off her chest.
“98 Days. That’s how many days are between now and April 11th, 2023. By that time, it will have been five years since my debut on the independent scene, I will have turned 20 years old.And people wonder why it is that winning a World Title before then means so much to me. Well let me give you another number.
1730. That’s how many days, up until now, have passed since April 11th, 2018. That was my first night on the independent scene. I had just turned 15 years old. That night, I remember my opponent telling me, in no uncertain terms, that I wasn’t long for this business. In fact, I believe the exact quote was “She won’t last 5 months in the ring before she goes home crying and asking to go after a new dream.” And I’ve carried those words as motivation with me for nearly 5 years.”
Jessi begins to stroll down the corridor, the camera backing up in front of her as she continues on her path.
“When I first heard those words, I decided to work harder, something that my first opponent tonight, Hijo De La Muerta, knows nothing about. And don’t get my words twisted, I’m not saying the guy hasn’t gotten here through hard work. It’s easy to tell when someone in this business is phoning it in, and the man certainly doesn’t do that. But what I am saying, is the difference between my hard work and his is miles apart. See, I didn’t come up in a training facility with state-of-the-art equipment and experts working around the clock to help me get my foot in the door. I came up in the middle of a shady dive bar in Detroit, in a ring that was held together by duct tape and a prayer. Hijo wouldn’t know what that’s like.”
Jessi’s eyes begin to go glossy, the waterworks definitely about to crank up as memories start to boil to the surface.
“While all the other girls at school were spending their nights going to the mall, or the school dance, or out on dates, I was getting thrown around by guys twice my size for nothing but chump change and the hope of getting anywhere important. He wouldn’t know what that’s like either.”
By this point, tears begin to slowly dribble down the sides of Jessi’s face. It’s clear she’s about to let all of her feelings loose.
“He wouldn’t know what it’s like laying in the hospital bed after surgery, wondering if he was ever gonna walk right again, let alone follow his dream. He wouldn’t know what it’s like getting kicked out of his house and having to live out of a suitcase. Eventually having to go from state-to-state in a country that’s foreign to you and putting on match after match after match just to get noticed. Having to beg those you looked up to on the independent scene to stay behind after the show to teach you how to better yourself. Having to beg promoters to give you extra bookings so you could scrape up enough for a motel room and not have to suffer sleeping in your heatless car in 4-degree weather. Being in the gym, in the ring, day in, day out. Being the first person to show up and the last person to leave. He wouldn’t know what that’s like.”
Jessi quiets down a bit, her intensity lowering with her next words before beginning to rise again.
“He wouldn’t know, and Hijo, if you do know, then I apologize for assuming. But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you don’t, because if you did, it would’ve sunken in with you by now how much this means to ME! How much I NEED to win this! How much I NEED to be the one with my hand raised by the end of this tournament! Because you seem to only see this British Heavyweight Championship as a toy to add to your collection, so that you can make your short career worth a damn. Meanwhile, I see it as validation for EVERYTHING I’ve been through for the past 1730 days.”
Jessi once again pipes down, rounding off her words here.
“And trust me, I know for a fact that my story isn’t unique. I know my story doesn’t make me special. But it got me here, right on the precipice of becoming a pillar of this industry. I have come too damn far to be stopped now. By the end of tonight, I will be your inaugural British Heavyweight Champion…because I need to.”
Jessi takes off past the camera, leaving the empty corridor in her wake as we fade.
The scene cuts backstage as Till Schlotterbeck is seen backstage getting ready for his match. He’s off in his own little world as he ties his boots. A stein of beer is next to him, along with his jacket.
Till Schlotterbeck: Guten Tag! Usually I’d be more of a talkative mood, but with a title match just around the corner…..my mind is mostly off into another world. Lethal. Sadistic. Harmful. I must be in this kill or be killed mind frame because my opponents are just as dangerous as I am if I’m not careful. Grimaldi, Alexander Sokolov, and Anthony Cross all could win the Melee title and would be worthy of it. But I came to MPW to win and to win titles. And winning the Melee title would be great to have on my resume. So to my opponents….best of luck. Prost. Prost! PROST!
Grabbing the stein, Till gives a toast to the camera before downing the beer.
Post-match Journeyman Phillips entered the ring. Hardy readied himself for whatever was coming but was surprised to see Phillips extend his hand. 'You did your family proud,' he says before raising his arm in the air. Campbell and Phillips Jr see this happening and are furious, attacking the veteran from behind, but Jvstice fights back without hesitation. Journeyman pulls himself back to his feet and supports as the pair toss Campbell and Louis over the ropes and out of the ring. Phillips looks down at his son, and his protege with confusion, before a quick glance at Hardy and nod of the head to show his appreciation.
Backstage a furious Preston Edwards, Melee Title in hand, confronted Alexander Sokolov. Edwards was annoyed that he would disrespect the title, a title he believed Sokolov had earned and would elevate to great things. Sokolov said he had already explained he didn't not deserve to be in the match. He had brought shame on himself by losing the week previously [to Hijo de la Muerta]. Edwards thrust him the belt. 'People lose, deal with it. You are the champion now. So act like it.' 'Ok,' he said. 'I take win. I take belt. But on one condition.' 'Go on..' said the General Manager. 'You let me fight boy with mask again.' Preston nodded as we cut back to ringside.
The Deathriders come running the ring, carrying their own titles and hoist Jessi to her feet. The Referee hands her the belt and she raises it aloft. Lilith and Kaya pick her up onto their shoulders as the crowd cheers and applauds the inaugural British Heavyweight Champion following an epic encounter. She had to dig very deep, she had to connect with the finishers, she had to ensure there was no way back for the otherwise impressive Vanessa Reckless. Her time would surely come but this was Jessi Ozborne's moment as the Queens of Chaos stood in the centre of the ring, all three as champions, all three their arms and belts raised high in the air as the firs ever MPW Supershow came to a thrilling end.

TELEVISION TITLE MATCH
Cassie Wolfe (c) v Rowen
Cassie started brightly, the champion looking for an impressive fifth straight defence. But Rowen's all round style kept up the pace throughout. A great opening bout, Cassie was wise to a few of Rowen's cheap maneouvers. Cassie went for a quick pin grabbing a fist full of Rowen's tights in the process but she kicked out at the last second. She (Rowen) grabbed the Referee to complain, but he was having none of it. With the Referee distracted Vanessa pulled on Cassie's foot as she went tumbling face first into the centre of the ring. Rowen pounced instinctively to lock on her Indiana Death Lock (Brick by Boring Brick). Cassie fought valiantly but she was too far out of reach for the break, eventually tapping in frustration. Rowen and Nessa celebrated in the ring as the crowd didn't hold back on letting them now what they thought. Cassie received a standing ovation as she headed back up the ramp, visibly disappointed.
WINNER: Rowen (New MPW Television Champion)
"The reign is over for Wolfe but it's been an impressive run."
"I don't think she'll forget what happened here in a hurry either. But exactly what we've come to expect from the Reckless Dollz."

BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT SEMI FINAL
Lilith Parker v Vanessa Reckless
Reckless came out with newly crowned Television Champion Rowen to a chorus of abuse from the angered fans. An unusually mixed reception was reserved for Lilith, presumably swayed by the actions of the opening match, but she wasn't interested either way. Tag Titles around their waist, her and Kaya entered the ring and immediately came face to face with their adversaries. Eventually Rowen and Kaya exited and allowed the match to begin, with Lilith dominating the early stages. Her quick strikes made life difficult for Nessa to contend with but she found her way back, as the match veered to a solid technical display. The Referee had his work cut out here, with both partners up on the apron throughout protesting on their partner's behalf, but the wrestling just about continued to flow. Nessa slid out the ring at one point to catch her breath. Lilith beckoned her back in but Rowen provided a shield to ensure she had time to recover. Lilith wasn't wasting time though and promptly suicide dived over the ropes to take them both out. All three women laid out, the fans were on their feet but as the action moved back into the ring it was clear the move had taken as much out of Lilith as it had Reckless. A vertical suplex got reversed into a snap DDT. Both women got back to their feet but Reckless hit a superkick from nowhere and Lilith went stumbling backwards, crashing into the turnbuckle with just enough composure. Sadly for Parker it proved to be fatal as Reckless followed up with a Running Elbow (Redrum) to land the final blow and progress to the final.
WINNER: Vanessa Reckless (Advances to Tournament Final)
"Well, well. Our first taste of the Dolls and the Deathriders. Vanessa Reckless is on her way to the final."
"She's laid down that marker, and she'll be fully focused on that Heavyweight Title match now. But it's only a matter of time before all four of these women are in the ring together."

BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT SEMI FINAL
Hijo de la Muerta v Jessi Ozborne
These two were no strangers to one another, having already faced one another in XIX Wrestling. Jessi, the victor last time out, looked typically calm and confident. But Hijo had learnt from their last outing, and looked the more prepared in the opening stages. Playing to his fast attributes and with the crowd behind him he looked every bit the accomplished wrestler. But Ozborne was more than capable of digging deep. Just when she was looking like swinging momentum back in her favour, Hijo showed he too could reach levels we hadn't seen from him, as he went all out for the win and pulled out a springboard clothesline that Jessi wasn't prepared for. He wasn't about to let her back in and ascended the top turnbuckle with speed. The crowd were going wild as he launched off for his Death from Above (Sky Twister Press) but lightning struck twice, as Jessi moved out of the way in the nick of time. Hijo hit the ground hard and Jessi moved quick to finish the match with her Disenchanted.
WINNER: Jessi Ozborne (Advances to Tournament Final)
"A great win for Hijo, a young talent not long turned pro."
"He'll be reeling at the missed opportunity, but true champions will pull out wins when they're down and out."
"That means it's Vanessa Reckless versus Jessi Ozborne for the British Heavyweight Title! The Reckless Dollz versus the Queens of Chaos. What a Main Event we have in store for ourselves!"

BATTLE ROYAL
TELEVISION TITLE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER
Lil' Blanco Tigre v Blaze Darling v Patti Rose v Abigail Grim v Lola Dane v Kelly Kash v Kaya Parker v Daphne Martini v Syvlie Thorn v Azurine Vebbins v Yua Watanabe v Yui Watanabe v Jessica Carter v Avery Smith
With everyone in the ring it was impossible to know which way to turn, as the chaos ensued right from the off..
Rose and Kash renewed their friendly rivalry from a few weeks back, and got the fans on their feet with some old fashioned rasslin', but when Patti hopped onto the top turnbuckle for a high-flying maneouver Kash promptly sent her tumbling onto the outside for potentially a record elimination.
Patti Rose eliminated by Kelly Kash
Naturally there were sets of allies working together. Dane tried to fend off the Watanabes, and Smith and Carter were wearing down Blaze and Vebbins. But Lil' Blanco Tigre was happy going about her business solo, carefully planning her targets to try and eliminate people as quickly and efficiently as possible. A couple of early attempts were foiled with too many opponents on hand getting in the way, but after a few minutes an unsuspecting Sylvie Thorn was upturned over the ropes for a swift exit.
Sylvie Thorn eliminated by Lil' Blanco Tigre
Kaya Parker was also going it alone, tearing into anyone and everyone she could like a woman possessed. The Watanabes were ready for her though, and made light work of a two on one ambush. With Kaya down but not out, they turned around to survey the rest of the field but were promptly met with double clotheslines from Lola Dane and Azurine Vebbins, duly sent flying to the outside floor.
Yui and Yua Watanabe eliminated by Lola Dane and Azurine Vebbins
Home favourite Daphne Martini, arguably the most popular woman in the ring, had looked promising throughout the early stages, and her hard work paid off with a double elimination, much to the fans enjoyment. Jessica Carter and Avery Smith having double teamed Kaya Parker for longer than necessary were working in tandem to try and get her over the ropes, but with their backs turned Martini seized the opportunity and lifted them both up one by one and out of the match.
Jessica Carter and Avery Smith eliminated by Daphne Martini
Everyone was pairing off nicely now. Vebbins and Darling, Tigre versus Parker, Grim up against Kash, and Dane with Martini following that double exit. Martini fought valiantly but Dane was slick and saw to it that she was whipped off the ropes and ran her over the top rope with nothing but momentum, ending her hopes of a title shot.
Daphne Martini eliminated by Lola Dane
Grim and Kash were proving quite the adversaries, their violent styles difficult to ignore and easy to enjoy. But it was the newcomer that finally got the better of her opponent, a head scissors takedown sent Kash onto the outside ring apron, only to be knocked off by an elbow smash thereafter.
Kelly Kash eliminated by Abigail Grim
Dane was on the march again this time looking to take out Kaya Parker but Kaya was ready for a war, and fought her off long enough to allow Lil' Blanco Tigre time to weigh in. Blanco hit Dane with a flurry of strikes. A slightly wounded Vebbins meanwhile looked down and out as Blaze Darling had her on the ropes but there was enough in the tank to foil her plans. Blaze elevated herself off the ropes for a clothesline at the end other end, but Vebbins pulled the ropes down with just enough force to send her tumbling onto the outside. Darling looked up with a wry smile as Vebbins climbed back into the ring to recover.
Blaze Darling eliminated by Azzurine Vebbins
Just five left now, each woman looking fairly tired by this point. Parker sensed the opportunity to attack the weary Vebbins, who had barely enough time to gather herself before being flung into the turnbuckle. Abigail Grim wanted in on the action and followed up with a running knee to the mid section. Vebbins fell to the mat, presumably enough to divert attention elsewhere as Parker attacked the Queen of Ultraviolence from behind, and swiftly eliminated her before she had time to react.

Just 4 women left now in Lola Dane, Kaya Parker, Lil Blanco Tigre and Azzurine Vebbins as they all took a minute to compose themselves and survey the rest of their opponents. Tigre and Parker locked up while Dane and Vebbins went at it on the other side as the two duals sprawled awkwardly around the ring. Vebbins, in her debut match, had won the crowd over by this point, but Dane was getting all the pops in her own right as the two diminutive grapplers came toe to toe. Parker had found the better of Tigre, who appeared to be more out of her comfort zone now, unable to surprise her opponents with quick thinking maneouvers for a standard win. Parker whipped her into the corner, like Dane did on Vebbins on the opposite side and with uncanny synchronicity they each eliminated them with drop kicks onto the outside.

And then there were two. Dane and Parker circled one another for a while as the crowd cheered, before erupting into a chant of Lola's name. This was enough to spur Parker on, and she lashed out with a series of right hands that Dane wasn't ready for. Several strikes later and she was ready to finish this, whipping her into the ropes, but Dane cleverly hung on for a break. Parker ran at her with an elbow smash and connected as Dane fell, but was still hanging on with one arm, defiant and plucky. Parker shook her head as Dane pulled herself back up with impressive resilience. Parker swung a right hook but Dane ducked, and pulled her face down onto the ropes as Parker fell backwards. Dane climbed up onto the top rope and launched herself off as Parker rose to her feet, but was caught mid dive by the reactive Parker. She ran towards the ropes ready to launch her over but Dane wriggled free at the last second and reversed it, throwing Kaya up and over before she had time to react. Kaya tumbled to the outside in disbelief, furious and angered, so close to a shot at becoming a double champion, as Dane collapsed backwards in the centre of the ring staring at the lights, herself in shock at the victory. The crowd cheered as 'Reincarnate' by Rein hit the speakers and she pulled herself up.
WINNER: Lola Dane (Television Title Number One Contender)
"Lola Dane has just earned herself a Television Title shot!"
"If there has ever been a more diminutive winner of a battle royal I would love to know who! Incredible. Just shows that heart goes a long way."
"Credit to Parker, Vebbins and Lil Blanco Tigre. Great performances but there can only be one winner at the end of the day."

TELEVISION TITLE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER
Lil' Blanco Tigre v Blaze Darling v Patti Rose v Abigail Grim v Lola Dane v Kelly Kash v Kaya Parker v Daphne Martini v Syvlie Thorn v Azurine Vebbins v Yua Watanabe v Yui Watanabe v Jessica Carter v Avery Smith
With everyone in the ring it was impossible to know which way to turn, as the chaos ensued right from the off..
Rose and Kash renewed their friendly rivalry from a few weeks back, and got the fans on their feet with some old fashioned rasslin', but when Patti hopped onto the top turnbuckle for a high-flying maneouver Kash promptly sent her tumbling onto the outside for potentially a record elimination.
Patti Rose eliminated by Kelly Kash
Naturally there were sets of allies working together. Dane tried to fend off the Watanabes, and Smith and Carter were wearing down Blaze and Vebbins. But Lil' Blanco Tigre was happy going about her business solo, carefully planning her targets to try and eliminate people as quickly and efficiently as possible. A couple of early attempts were foiled with too many opponents on hand getting in the way, but after a few minutes an unsuspecting Sylvie Thorn was upturned over the ropes for a swift exit.

Kaya Parker was also going it alone, tearing into anyone and everyone she could like a woman possessed. The Watanabes were ready for her though, and made light work of a two on one ambush. With Kaya down but not out, they turned around to survey the rest of the field but were promptly met with double clotheslines from Lola Dane and Azurine Vebbins, duly sent flying to the outside floor.
Yui and Yua Watanabe eliminated by Lola Dane and Azurine Vebbins
Home favourite Daphne Martini, arguably the most popular woman in the ring, had looked promising throughout the early stages, and her hard work paid off with a double elimination, much to the fans enjoyment. Jessica Carter and Avery Smith having double teamed Kaya Parker for longer than necessary were working in tandem to try and get her over the ropes, but with their backs turned Martini seized the opportunity and lifted them both up one by one and out of the match.

Everyone was pairing off nicely now. Vebbins and Darling, Tigre versus Parker, Grim up against Kash, and Dane with Martini following that double exit. Martini fought valiantly but Dane was slick and saw to it that she was whipped off the ropes and ran her over the top rope with nothing but momentum, ending her hopes of a title shot.
Daphne Martini eliminated by Lola Dane
Grim and Kash were proving quite the adversaries, their violent styles difficult to ignore and easy to enjoy. But it was the newcomer that finally got the better of her opponent, a head scissors takedown sent Kash onto the outside ring apron, only to be knocked off by an elbow smash thereafter.
Kelly Kash eliminated by Abigail Grim
Dane was on the march again this time looking to take out Kaya Parker but Kaya was ready for a war, and fought her off long enough to allow Lil' Blanco Tigre time to weigh in. Blanco hit Dane with a flurry of strikes. A slightly wounded Vebbins meanwhile looked down and out as Blaze Darling had her on the ropes but there was enough in the tank to foil her plans. Blaze elevated herself off the ropes for a clothesline at the end other end, but Vebbins pulled the ropes down with just enough force to send her tumbling onto the outside. Darling looked up with a wry smile as Vebbins climbed back into the ring to recover.
Blaze Darling eliminated by Azzurine Vebbins
Just five left now, each woman looking fairly tired by this point. Parker sensed the opportunity to attack the weary Vebbins, who had barely enough time to gather herself before being flung into the turnbuckle. Abigail Grim wanted in on the action and followed up with a running knee to the mid section. Vebbins fell to the mat, presumably enough to divert attention elsewhere as Parker attacked the Queen of Ultraviolence from behind, and swiftly eliminated her before she had time to react.

The scene cuts backstage as Till Schlotterbeck is seen backstage getting ready for his match. He’s off in his own little world as he ties his boots. A stein of beer is next to him, along with his jacket.
Till Schlotterbeck: Guten Tag! Usually I’d be more of a talkative mood, but with a title match just around the corner…..my mind is mostly off into another world. Lethal. Sadistic. Harmful. I must be in this kill or be killed mind frame because my opponents are just as dangerous as I am if I’m not careful. Grimaldi, Alexander Sokolov, and Anthony Cross all could win the Melee title and would be worthy of it. But I came to MPW to win and to win titles. And winning the Melee title would be great to have on my resume. So to my opponents….best of luck. Prost. Prost! PROST!
Grabbing the stein, Till gives a toast to the camera before downing the beer.
HANDICAP MATCH
Jvstice Hardy v Louis Phillips & Albert Campbell (w/ Journeyman Phillips)
The Journeymen were pumped up for this match, Journeyman Phillips watching cautiously form the outside as Hardy came out looking surprisingly calm and confident given the odds were stacked against him. Louis and Albert went in early with standard strikes and heavy moves to try and wear Hardy down, who fought back valiantly but was easily outnumbered early on. Things looked to take a surprising turn when Campbell botched a suplex and Hardy manoeuvred into an Octopus Stretch, but Phillips recovered in time to break it up. Hardy was back in the match now though, and although still up against it was fending both men off one by one. A superkick to Campbell sent him tumbling through the ropes and onto the outside as Louis Phillips was rising to his feet. Hardy waited patiently, and the crowd knew what was coming. Justice For All! A modified cutter into a Dragon Sleeper Hold and it was all over.
WINNER: Jvstice Hardy
"Hardy backs up his claims with an impressive handicap win!"
"No one, and I mean no one, is doubting this guys ability. But he can't get ahead of himself. He needs to pay his dues like everyone else, regardless of his ancestry."

Post-match Journeyman Phillips entered the ring. Hardy readied himself for whatever was coming but was surprised to see Phillips extend his hand. 'You did your family proud,' he says before raising his arm in the air. Campbell and Phillips Jr see this happening and are furious, attacking the veteran from behind, but Jvstice fights back without hesitation. Journeyman pulls himself back to his feet and supports as the pair toss Campbell and Louis over the ropes and out of the ring. Phillips looks down at his son, and his protege with confusion, before a quick glance at Hardy and nod of the head to show his appreciation.
HEADLINER
MELEE TITLE MATCH
Till Schlotterbeck v Grimaldi v Alexander Sokolov v Anthony Cross
All four men stood apart ready for war as the new Melee Championship was paraded in the centre of the ring for all to see. Till and Sokolov gave each other a nod of respect as the bell rang and they squared off in pairs. Cross was gunning for Sokolov following their previous encounter. It didn't take long for the chairs and outside apparatus to come into play with Cross getting his revenge early to Grimaldi. There were two referees on hand to make the counts but no man stayed down for the required ten seconds, as the brawls continued. Fans were excited to see Till and Sokolov renew their friendly rivalry as the fighting spilled over the barriers and into the crowd. Beers were thrown here and there everywhere, with Till insisting the fans 're-fuel him' and pour some down his throat while chanting PROST! But he got a bit carried away with it at one point and allowed Cross an opportunity to lay him out with a fresh chair shot. It wasn't enough to defeat the tough German though, and when it looked like Cross might finish him off, Grimaldi yanked the chair away last minute to prevent him doing so. Sokolov was back in the match now and tossed an unsuspecting Grimaldi back over the barriers and into the ring as Cross and Till threw arms on the outside. With no weapons to hand he utilised his bare knuckle abilities and began pounding away at the helpless Grimaldi. A Curb Stomp later and it looked to be over but Grimaldi stirred and raised his arm just in time. Sokolov yelled at him to get on his feet and insisted he fight back before laying him out with a Shibata Style Headbutt. The Referee and fans began to count but Sokolov pulled the Referee out the way and picked him up again. He wasn't done. Another Shibata Style Headbutt and Grimaldi hit the canvas hard. Everyone counted as Grimaldi could take no more of the onslaught. One.. two.. three.. his head began to stir.. four.. five.. six.. his head began to rise.. seven.. eight.. no! He was done! Nine.. Ten! It was over. The Referee was handed the belt and attempted to award it to 'The King of the Streets' as his music played but he refused, and promptly tossed it to one side before exiting the ring empty handed.
WINNER: Alexander Sokolov (New MPW Melee Champion)
"Sokolov is the first ever Melee Champ.. or is he? He didn't seem too interested in the title there. He's left it in the ring!"
"Well he demanded to be taken out of the match when it was announced. Has he already vacated the title?"

"Well he demanded to be taken out of the match when it was announced. Has he already vacated the title?"
Backstage a furious Preston Edwards, Melee Title in hand, confronted Alexander Sokolov. Edwards was annoyed that he would disrespect the title, a title he believed Sokolov had earned and would elevate to great things. Sokolov said he had already explained he didn't not deserve to be in the match. He had brought shame on himself by losing the week previously [to Hijo de la Muerta]. Edwards thrust him the belt. 'People lose, deal with it. You are the champion now. So act like it.' 'Ok,' he said. 'I take win. I take belt. But on one condition.' 'Go on..' said the General Manager. 'You let me fight boy with mask again.' Preston nodded as we cut back to ringside.
MAIN EVENT
BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT FINAL
Jessi Ozborne v Vanessa Reckless
This was it. The one they had all been waiting for as tensions rose ahead of the night's Main Event. The belt was paraded around the ring for all to see as the crowd cheered in anticipation. Ozborne received an unusually large cheer on her way out, deciding to come to the ring alone. Vanessa was, as always, with Rowen in tow. The Television Champion hyping her friend's entrance, as both competitors showed zero nerves despite the big occasion. The bell sounds and there was an eerie calm before the storm as the two women circled one another momentarily before locking up. A few tussles were thwarted each time by the other, some strong early displays of their technical abilities gaining some applause from the crowd. But Reckless doesn't hold back for too long, her ruthless aggression rising to the surface with a slap to the face and some strikes to the body. Some early mind games were on show as she skipped around the ring, taunting the wounded Jessi but the crowd were back on their feet when Ozborne got a second wind and gained control of the match. Reckless had to dig deep, and soon changed her mind set seeing Ozborne, and the Referee, wouldn't succumb to her manipulative ways. Rowen tried to interfere but was ordered back up the ramp and to the backstage area, which delighted the fans but it didn't throw Vanessa off her game. Both women looked strong for lengthy spells at a time and there were periods where they counter-acted one another impressively. But there was no let up, as the match wound on and the fatigue kicked in they began to pull out the moves everyone had come to see. Vanessa had a firm hold on Jessi close to the centre of the ring, her Figure Four Neck Lock (Scream Queen) causing her some huge problems. It looked inevitable she would tap but gradually edged her way towards the rope for a break. Climbing to their feet she reversed with an elbow to the face and an axe kick before going for her own finisher, with a Double Rotation Moonsault she calls The End! It connects! But it isn't The End, Nessa kicks out in the final seconds as Jessi couldn't believe it, and goes up for another but Nessa's on her and attacks her from behind before she can climb to the top turnbuckle. She drives Jessi's face into the corner and readies herself for a Double Knee Backbreaker in the corner of the ring but Ozborne pulls away and Nessa plants herself into the corner! Reckless is unsteady and there's a small window of opportunity but Jessi knows she has to seize it. THE QUEENDOM COLLAPSE! A Rolling Elbow Smash to the back of the neck. Vanessa crumbles to the ground motionless as a weary and exhausted Jessi Ozborne drops to the mat with her. She just about brings herself to hook the leg as the crowd shouts along. ONE.. TWO.. THREE!
WINNER: Jessi Ozborne (New MPW British Heavyweight Champion)
"Jessi Ozborne is your first EVER Modern Pro Wrestling British Heavyweight Champion!"
