-----
Before the show, Scottie Gash & Brandon K named Criss Crossfire as a one-night-only member of their team Excellence Personified, going into his match with Crusher Hansen. Hansen guaranteed victory in one minute.
Also, Kid Cupid confronted Team Mega and asked Jason Cage why he turned his back on the fans. Cage said he never cared about the fans, only to get pie-faced by Cupid. A chase ensued and Mega surrounded Cupid in the ring, only to be chased off by Ryan Mitchell, CJ Sensation, and Troy Lords. Lords demanded his match with Amherst start right now...
Troy Lords def. Ashton Amherst
The new NWA North American Tag Team Champion Amherst ran into a bit of trouble in this match, and relied on the assistance of his Team Mega partners James Ross & Jason Cage. But the interference backfired and actually helped Troy Lords pick up the win!
NWA East Tag Team Champions the Mon Valley Monsters def. JB Destiny & CK Fortune
With Paul Atlas nowhere to be found, Destiny was about to go it alone in the match, since nobody in the back trusted him. As the match was about to begin, his twin brother and former tag team partner outside of NWA East, CK Fortune, announced he would stand by JB, despite being retired for many years. But CK shocked NWA East as he attacked JB and joined up with Gator & Beast! When they reached the locker room, CK told JB and the crowd (via the TonyTron) that he was the one who brought both Mon Valley Monsters to NWA East to take him out!
Criss Crossfire def. Crusher Hansen via DQ
Crusher was accompanied by his brother Tony and manager Benjamin C. Steele, while Crossfire had Brandon K & Scottie Gash at ringside with him, coaching him through this contest with the veteran Crusher. Despite guaranteeing victory over Crossfire in one minute, Hansen took quite a while in his attempt to dispose of the one-night-only member of Excellence Personified. He was able to hit his signature Crusher Slam, but with referee Shawn Patrick distracted by Gash, K crashed a chair onto the ring apron and tossed it to Crusher, while Gash showed the ref Crossfire on the mat with Hansen standing over him with a chair! Shawn had no choice but to disqualify Hansen and award the match to Crossfire! However, while they were celebrating the victory, the Hansens and Steele's other team Golden Reign laid waste to the three men, leaving them laying in the ring.
James Ross def. CJ Sensation
While the assistance of Team Mega cost Ashton Amherst the match earlier in the evening, they got their act together three matches later. Even with Ryan Mitchell and Troy Lords standing guard at the entranceway, Team Mega interfered. When Sensation seemed to be ready to finish "Good Ol' JR" off, the ref was distracted by the chaos caused at ringside, and Team Mega tossed Ross a chain, which he used to finish Sensation.
Dash Bennett came to the ring to announce that he had it on good authority that Chris Taylor was not in the building and would not be in the title match that night. Patrick Hayes came out and said he beat Dash once, he'll do it again. And when he had Stacy Hunter on his shoulders for the Pick-Me-Up, he liked it and asked her for a date. She said she'd at least take his number, which he said started with 555. Hunter interrupted him and said 555 only exists in the movies and TV. Hayes told her "What do you think this is, real life?" and attacked Dash! While he was about to hit Dash with the Frog Splash, Hunter pulled Dash out and the two ran to the back.
Mad Mike def. Lou Marconi via DQ
These two NWA East veterans barely got started when Marconi's 216 Clique of Frank Staletto, Will Esquire, and Dan Graham hit the ring and attacked Mike, leading to a DQ. Piston Wiley and the returning Sabotage made the save! The former Brass Knuckles Champion Sabotage challenged Marconi, Staletto, and Esquire to a six man tag! While they initially refused, Shawn Patrick of the Championship Committee said the match will happen now!
The 216 Clique def. Mad Mike, Piston Wiley, & Sabotage
The 216 Clique of Marconi, Staletto, and Esquire focused their attack on the smallest member of the team, Sabotage. However, Sab was able to rally back and tag out of the match. But when the match broke down and all members of the teams were fighting in the ring, Shirley Doe slipped in during the confusion and tossed Mad Mike to the floor, which led to the two men brawling out. Staletto and Esquire attacked Sabotage, slamming him hard onto the unprotected floor. Meanwhile in the ring, Marconi locked Wiley in his armbar submission he used on Ryan Mitchell at Unforgiven 4, and Wiley tapped out.
After intermission, The Hellraisers of Travis Fame & Apollyon called out Sean Dahmer from the back, since Payton Graham had been suspended for 30 days. Dahmer answered, only to cue an attack by the Mon Valley Monsters, who were sitting among the fans after mingling at intermission. Dahmer indicated he paid the Monsters off for the attack, despite CK Fortune raising the price to three times the amount. Dahmer proceeded to handcuff Apollyon to the corner and beat Fame into oblivion. What was originally thought to be a mild concussion worsened into a grade 3 concussion, threatening Fame's career and future in professional wrestling. Click HERE to read more about this.
Jon Burton def. Shirley Doe
Going into this match, Burton was 6-0 on his "Just Believe Tour", his road to an NWA East Heavyweight Title shot. But standing in his way was the vile, sadistic madman known as Shirley Doe. Doe brought the fight to Burton, unleashing an unrelenting attack on Burton's knee. Doe dropped Burton with a Sillyhead DDT and went for a Vaderbomb, but as he was on the ropes, Mad Mike's music hit and distracted Doe. The distraction allowed Burton to drop Doe from the ropes and slam him with the Sign-Off! Mike appeared after the match to laugh at Doe's loss to Burton, who is now 7-0 in 2010!
Excellence Personified def. Golden Reign and the Hansen Brothers
This single-fall triple threat match was a great example of tag team wrestling in NWA East. While initially, BC Steele's four men were able to gang up on and get the advantage over Excellence Personified, miscommunication between the two teams led to Robert Parker Williams eating a double-team Go 2 Sleep from Gash & K, giving Excellence Personified the victory! The Hansens were none-too-happy about it after the match, blaming Golden Reign for giving Excellence Personified the win.
NWA East Three Rivers Champion Ryan Mitchell def. NWA East Brass Knuckles Champion Jason Cage
The match was initially billed as a Brass Knuckles Title match, but was announced at the show that both titles would be on the line! The two young men fought to defend their titles, but Cage eventually fell to the Steel Curtain DDT! During Mitchell's celebration, Cage announced that he didn't get a chance to tell Mitchell his stipulation for the match... a non-title bout. Team Mega hit the ring and took Mitchell out, then held him for Lou Marconi, who came to the ring and locked in his armbar, once again leaving Mitchell laid out with his dangerous submission hold.
Dash Bennett def. NWA East Heavyweight Champion Patrick Hayes to win the title
After their match of the night at Unforgiven 2, Hayes and Dash tore the house down again. This time, Shawn Ptrick refereed the bout, catching Bennett trying to sneak foreign objects into the match including brass knux, a chain, a pair of knux on Stacy Hunter at ringside, and more. Shawn disposed of the objects, but Bennett immediately took control. Shawn Patrick fell due to an errant shot, and Stacy Hunter attempted to interfere. But she ate a superkick for her troubles. Dash tried all the tricks he could, from powder, to Hunter's shoe, to a third concealed pair of brass knux, but they didn't help. After he used the third pair of knux, he stuck them in Hayes' tights. Hayes planted Dash with the Pick-Me-Up, but Bennett complained to the second referee, PJ Parker, who found the knux on Hayes and restarted the match! Parker took another errant shot that took him out of the match, and Bennett used the opportunity to hit Hayes with the NWA East Heavyweight title belt. Shawn Patrick then crawled into the ring and counted the fall, giving Dash Bennett his first ever NWA East Heavyweight Championship, giving him the "Grand Slam" of NWA East (Heavyweight, Brass Knuckles, Three Rivers, and Tag Team Titles). After the match, Mad Mike confronted Bennett, claiming he was cashing in the title shot he won back in February right then and there! Dash refused, so Shawn Patrick said they'll have a match in July... with a stipulation of Mike's choice!
