AS YOU WISH [12-15-18]

The Skull Kids start the match confused by the bravado of Jessica Knight, who seems willing to take both on. Shrugging, the Skull Kids connect with a double punch that knocks Jessica down. Perhaps even more confused by how simple this seems to be, the Skull Kids look at one another for a few moments before piling on Jessica, getting a two count before Dakota breaks the pinfall. Jessica takes a tough beating, managing to somehow survive the Skull Kids onslaught as she struggles to make the tag. It's after a missed clothesline that Jessica makes her move, kicking at the knee before a hard clothesline takes both down. Jessica manages to make the tag, bringing in the fresh Dakota into the match. Dakota comes in like a house on fire, knocking Skull Kid 2 off the apron before catching Skull Kid 1 with a Castle WolfenPlex (Bridging German Suplex) for a two count. Undeterred, Dakota hoisted SK1 to his feet, looking for the AKI Tribute (Gotch Piledriver). As she lifts him up, SK2 attacks her from behind, delivering hard clubbing blows before Jessica comes to her aid. Managing to knock him down with the GoodKnight (Running Big Boot), sending him to the outside. All alone, SK1 tries to fight back, but ends up falling to the Flashpoint (Double Superkick).

Team OVERKILL (Jacky Rex Daniels & Anna Mathews) vs. Osaka Rebels (Masatake Kawamoto & Hanako Takeuchi)

Right away the action is intense, as Jacky and Masatake exchange vicious forearms while Anna and Hanako throw rights and lefts. Getting too close to the ropes, Jacky and Masatake fall to the outside, still happily throwing forearms at one another. Inside the ring, Hanako has taken advantage, using her striking ability to slowly chip away at Anna. Using her muay thai skills, Hanako is able to get the clear advantage, using her strikes to leave Anna grimacing in pain. On the outside, Jacky and Masatake have made it to the merch booth, continuing their wild brawl as Masa throws Jacky at the wall, leaving a decent sized dent. Anna manages to flip out of a deadlift german suplex, surprising Hanako with a Boomerfly Kick that leaves her seeing stars. Knowing this is her chance, Anna hops onto Hanako's shoulders, preparing to Laugh In The Face Of War, but Hanako stops her as she goes for the cradle. In an impressive display of power, Hanako manages to lift Anna up before lanuching her with a german suplex! Back outside, Masa and Jacky have made thier way back to ringside as Masa tosses him into the apron. Slamming his head on the canvas, Masa continues to follow, only for Jacky to grab him by the waistband and fling him into the ring post. Inside, Hanako has Anna in position for the Black Rose Driver, only for Jacky to appear out of nowhere with a vicious Tomahawk (Discus Punch) to the back of the head, knocking Hanako into a small package for the three in an amazing match!

The Boys (Bee & Steady) w/ Tigercock vs. Suplex Parents (Stacy Deville & Lena Skye) w/ Jake Archer

Bee and Steady are making their Limitless debuts tonight, having trained under the Mane Woman for quite some time now. While they aren't polished, they're also not afraid to get their hands dirty, dumping Lena to the outside before working over Stacy. Steady in particular seems comfortable throwing his weight around, surprising many with his display of power as he's quick to throw her with relative ease. As surprisingly good as they might be, Lena and Stacy have a bit more experience, including fighting back from underneath. Making the tag to Lena, the Suplex Parents manage to deliver a double clothesline to Steady, sending him over the top rope and onto the outside. Turning to Bee, Stacy and Lena quickly overwhelm him before Stacy connects with her Deville Driver (High Angle Northern Lights Suplex), followed by Lena flying off the top rope with Skyes The Limit (Swanton Bomb)! Skyes Deville! Lena makes the cover as Stacy stands guard, ensuring the Parents will be there tomorrow.

THEM! (Erik Holland & Zombie Black) vs. Royal Flush Gang (Jack & King) w/ Jackson Tennant

The crowd come alive as soon as the bell sounds and this becomes an immediate bar-room brawl. That theme runs all the way through this one, as even when it breaks into the standard tag team match that it is meant to be, everyone throws wild punches at their hated foes as hard as they can. Jackson Tennant is the reason that Jack is finally able to get ahead of Zombie, as Tennant runs the distraction, causing Zombie to chase him outside the ring and right into a brutal clothesline! Jack and King lay an incredible beating on Zombie, at one point taking him down with a brutal double lariat before sticking their tongues out toward Holland. Jack moves in with the first semi-technical maneuver of the match, hooking a side headlock while Zombie is on the mat. It turns out to not be the best idea, as Zombie fights his way up and hits a back suplex! The two make their way to their corners, tagging in King and Holland – and Holland lays both of their foes out with a series of clotheslines and body slams! It's as he prepares to connect with the Toxic Avenger on Jack that King attacks, delivering a chop block that hobbles Holland. Jack and King work together to incapacitate Holland, assaulting him with a barrage of stikes before delivering the Powerbomb Assisted Senton for a close two. Signaling for the end, King lifts Holland onto his shoulders as Jack climbs the ropes. Before he can leap, Zombie appears, shoving him to the mat! As Jack rolls to the floor in pain, Holland slips behind King before taking him down with a Northern Lariat. It's as King fights to his feet that Zombie strikes, connecting with his Walrus Buster (Swinging Reverse STO) for the three!

Johnny Amazing vs. Michael Hayden

As the bell rings, the fans begin dueling chants for both competitors in the match. Hayden seems amused, pointing to himself for his cheers and pointing to Johnny on his before shaking his head. Starting the match, Hayden seemed to take things lightly, almost toying with Johnny in the early goings of the match. Taking it in stride, Johnny quickly takes control of the match, connecting with a hurricanrana that sends Hayden into the corner as Johnny pops to his feet, giving him a thumbs up. Grinning, Hayden would return the thumbs up before stepping out of the corner, locking up.

Hayden manages to take control, but Johnny fights back against the tide by trying to speed the match up. But that too plays into Hayden’s hands, and he matches Johnny move-for-move and hold-for-hold for the majority of this matchup. Hayden seems to get close to victory, but the never-say-die attitude of Johnny Amazing keeps him in the match. Ducking underneath the Hand of God (Spinning Backfist), Johnny leaps up with a jumping knee, catching Hayden on the chin and sending him stumbling into the corner. Johnny doesn't stop there, rushing forward with the Ama-ZING (Corner Yakuza Kick) before tossing him to the ground. Climbing the ropes, Johnny leaps off with a beautiful Free Sail (Shooting Star Press), but Hayden gets his knees up just in time. Both men struggle to their feet, the effects of the match evident as they exchange punches. Hayden gets the advantage, firing off several shots before the Hand of God connects! Johnny is left dazed on his feet as Hayden lifts him up, looking to connect with Haydenism (Dominator Lift GTS). Johnny struggles, managing to slip out behind him before rushing towards the ropes, connecting with the Blank Point (Disaster Kick)! Not letting Hayden fall, Johnny wraps him up for the Amazing Bomber (Headlock Driver), getting the win in a fantastic match!

Royal Controversy (Timothy Hunt & Marisol Hawkes) vs. The Darkness (Lio Walsh & Alexis Amira)

Lio and Timothy start the match, the animosity between teams encouraging the two to put on a short mat wrestling clinic in the ring. Both make the tag out to their partners, Alexis unresponsive to Marisol's questioning. Responding with a punch, Alexis looks to strike again before Marisol tackles her to the ground, attacking wildly. Getting to their feet, Alexis connects with a pump kick that sent her to her corner, where Tim makes the tag. Not giving him a chance to speak, Alexis makes the tag to Lio, who gives Tim a smirk. That's all he needs to do to enrage Tim, who tackles Lio to the outside as the two begin to brawl. Not content with standing around, Marisol and Alexis enter the ring, resuming their brawl as Molly Wheeler tries to regain control. Falling outside, Marisol and Alexis fight up the entrance way as Tim and Lio re-enter the ring. Lio uses a poke to the eye to distract his foe, letting Tim stumble around as he gets up on the second rope. Lio leaps off with a big clothesline, but Tim catches him, twisting into a huge powerslam! Lifting him to his feet, Tim begins to yell at Lio before hooking him for a suplex, only to be caught by surprise as Lio connected with Made of Nightmares (Rock Bottom) for the victory.

First Round Match

Hellcat Spangled Death Squad (Lisa Seldon & Craig Anderson) vs. Big Van Bulk & Reventon

Tensions are running high in this one, as the formidable Hellcat Spangled Death Squad take on the odd pairing of Big Van Bulk and Reventon. Choosing to start the match, Bulk stands against Craig Anderson, who seems surprised by his opponent. Looking to give it a go, Craig fires off three clotheslines, leaving Bulk stumbling before bouncing off the ropes for a final strike. Bulk catches Craig, shaking his head before launching him with an overhead Belly to Belly that sends him into the corner. Lisa makes the tag, declaring that she doesn't care about Bulk's kid, she's making it to the top. This then becomes an old school brawl, but Bulk easily overpowers Lisa en route to a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex that sends her right back into the corner she came from! Glaring in anger, Lisa launches herself at Bulk, throwing measured lefts and rights before throwing knees, sending Bulk into the corner. Reventon tries to make the tag, but Lisa delivers a boot that sends him flying off the apron, crashing onto the mat below. Lisa and Craig begin to work over the big man, focusing on the legs to take away his base. Dropping to a knee, Bulk gets rocked by the Man Opener (Overhead Roundhouse Kick), but Reventon manages to slide in and break up the pin just in time. Reventon looks to go back to the apron, but Lisa strikes again, dropkicking him as he falls out. Turning back to Bulk, Lisa goes for the Man Opener again, only for Bulk to catch the leg just in time. Roaring as he gets to his feet, Bulk launches her into the corner before coming in with a big splash. Turning around, Bulk catches Craig rushing in, slamming him down with the Bulkbuster (Scrapbuster). Lisa surprises Bulk with a Penalty Kick, knocking Bulk up before a spinning back elbow sends him into the corner once more. Reventon makes the tag as Lisa looks to connect with the Horror Pop (Double Knee Strike), only for Bulk to counter with a Golden Lasso Lariat that knocks Lisa loopy. Reventon has made his way to the top rope, climbing on Bulk's shoulders before flying off with a splash, followed by Bulk delivering one of his own, staying on top as the ref counts the surprising three!

The Amazing Giles's (Leonard & Joseph Giles) vs. DynaWolves (Kem Dynamo & Yona Blake)

The fans are noticeably disappointed at the news of Ethan's injury, somewhat unenthused by his replacement Leonard Giles. Yona and Kem give their opponents an apologetic shrug, getting only a "BAH!" and "UCE!" in return. Kem and Joseph start the match, the PPW Portlandia Champion immediately taking it to the big Samoan. Using the same rough style we've seen before, Kem is able to utilize suplexes against the large man to weaken him. Making the tag to Yona, the Werewolf immediately biting at the mask of Joseph. Using her speed in this one, Yona is able to stay out of reach for a good amount of time until Joseph manages a clothesline, almost out of luck as Yona collapses.

Letting out a loud "UCE!" Joseph tossed Yona into the corner, charging with a big splash before a Samoan Drop for two. Undeterred, a falling headbutt also got a two before Joseph works on breaking down Yona. Kem tries to rally the crowd behind her as Leonard tries shushing them, the crowd managing to push Yona to fight back against Joseph. Firing off rapid punches to the gut, Yona manages to stun Joseph long enough to whip him into her corner, rushing in with a dropkick as Kem connected with an enzugiri! Stumbling, Joseph was able to avoid a dropkick before stumbling back, tagging in Leonard! The grizzled veteran stepped into the ring, delivering two atomic drops to Kem before a clothesline! Leonard is a house of fire! A third atomic drop sends Kem into the ropes, where Yona makes a sneaky tag as Leonard tries to pull Kem off the ropes. Yona smiles before biting Leonard's booty, holding on tight as Leonard hops around in a circle. Managing to pry the Werewolf off, Leonard loudly complains about this treatment, never seeing Yona springboard off the ropes for the Late Night Snack (Springboard Cutter)! Kem knocks off the woozy Joseph as Yona makes the pin, advancing to the next round!

Shoot Nation (Maverick & Ice Man) vs. NO MERSEY (Gaz McGuinty & Nathan Wayne)

This one is wild right from the bell, as these four big, bad men go straight for one another. Gaz and Maverick trade blows in the ring, while Nathan and Ice Man are on the outside, and new referee Dave Fisher looks between the two of them, trying to decide who to help. NO MERSEY get surprised by the resolve of their opponents, as all of their brawling is matched by Shoot Nation and turned back to them. The match switches through different combinations of them, up the ramp and back to the ring with a lot of punches and weapons. Maverick starts to take over in his fight with Gaz by utilizing a camera cable to choke him with, and then he goes after Nathan. Shoot Nation whip him to the ropes and deliver a double shoulder block before they signal for the end. Maverick climbs to the top as Ice Man holds Nathan in position, looking for Shoot 'Em (Death Sentence). But Gaz comes up and shoves Maverick from behind, sending him flying down to the floor below! Ice Man drops Nathan, looking to swing and take Liverpool's Greatest Export out with a well placed right. But the Gazza is too quick, blocking the punch before hanging him on the ropes, sending Ice Man stumbling back into a german suplex from Nathan. With Maverick incapacitated, NO MERSEY begin to double team Ice Man. Ice Man fights off both of them at first, but the numbers are too much, and the boys from Liverpool are able to use their high impact offense of clotheslines and a powerslam, before setting him up for the end. Maverick can only look on in anguish as they connect with the Mersey Killing (Rope Hung DDT/Shooting Star Press), unable to break the pin as NO MERSEY get the victory.

Winners: NO MERSEY (Gaz McGuinty & Nathan Wayne

Michael Kelly vs. Nate Anderson

Before the bell can ring, the fans loudly chant for Kelly, giving the RAWGRAPS wrestler a hero's welcome. Nate even joins in the applause before Kelly raises a hand to silence everyone, starting a "Nate" chant. Nate took a small bow for the fans before the two shook hands, circling up.

Nate starts the match warily, knowing how dangerous Kelly is inside the ring. Looking to avoid MK's stiff strikes, Nate is able to slip most of the shots, backing up into the corner before getting caught with a stiff knee in the corner. Kelly looks to continue the advantage, but Nate ducks underneath a superkick attempt before popping up with a jumping DDT! Neither man holds the upper hand for long before the tide changes, each using his own particular strengths to full capacity to swing the momentum back and forth. MK uses his chops to leave Nate bleeding from the chest after a particularly vicious strike exchange, managing to score a close two after the Just For Britt Spinning Heel Kick. Lifting Nate up, MK was caught with a european uppercut, spinning MK around for a Poisonrana! Feeding off the energy of the fans, Nate makes his way to the top rope, looking out into the audience. Giving a salute, Nate leaps off for his One Big Leap for Mankind (Moonstomp), but MK rolls out of the way in the nick of time.
