“All Bets Are Off”
Pro Wrestling and Martial Arts made its debut at The New Alhambra (former ECW Arena) for its second show “All Bets Are Off.” In front of 1,100 fans, PWMA presented another stellar event. Commentary for the DVD will be provided by Lenny Leonard and Dave Prazak.
- 1) Alex Shelley vs. Matt Sydal
Opening: PWMA kicks off the show with an indy dream match. Matt Sydal got the early advantage, which caused Alex Shelley to kick the turnbuckle in frustration. Shelley tried to work on Sydal’s legs early, to prevent him from hitting any high-impact offense. Shelley went for a figure four leg lock, but Sydal quickly got to the ropes.
Finish: Matt Sydal got back into the match by taking out Alex Shelley with a huge moonsault. Sydal got a near fall after an Oklahoma Roll on Shelley. Shelley landed a huge clothesline on Sydal that flipped him over. Alex Shelley called for the Shellshock, but Matt Sydal countered into a rollup for the win at 15:18.
- Lenny Leonard interviewed Samoa Joe backstage. Leonard asked about Joe’s partner for tonight and Joe replied, “He’s been to Japan, he’s been to Mexico. All Money is Legal haven’t left the East Coast. This will be the easiest paycheck I’ve ever earned.
- 2) Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) vs. The Black and the Brave (Tyler Black and Marek Brave)
Opening: The Briscoe Brothers were making their PWMA debut in this contest. Philadelphia fans know them from their work in CZW and ROH, but they now want to be known for their work in this company. The match started off as fast-paced as you’d expect it to be with all four men landing arm drags on each other. Marek Brave even accidentally took out Tyler Black with a dropkick due to the confusion!
Finish: The Briscoes had control of Tyler Black and worked him in their corner, preventing him from making a tag. After a missed Doomsday Device from Jay, Black broke free of Mark and managed to tag in his partner Marek Brave. Brave unloaded on the Briscoes, but got tossed out of the ring by Mark. Jay Briscoe lifted Tyler Black up and hit the Jay Driller for the win at 10:22. After the match, Marek Brave argued with the ref, reminding him that he was the legal man.
- 3) Nigel McGuinness vs. El Generico
Opening: Nigel McGuinness quickly outwrestled El Generico to the mat and then gave him a humiliating slap to the face. Generico wanted another collar and elbow lockup, but McGuinness caught him off guard with a school boy. McGuinness drove his knee into the back of Generico’s head, and attempted to stretch him back with a kneebar.
Finish: El Generico made a triumphant comback after dropping Nigel McGuinness on his head with a twisting hurracanrana. Generico hit a dropkick and called for the brainbuster, but McGuinness blocked it with a right hand to the gut. Nigel McGuinness dropped Generico with the Tower of London for the win at 11:15.
- Staff members brought out the red carpet for Jackie Gayda and her “new man” Pelle Primeau. Gayda said that Pelle picked up a big win in Manhattan, but it was time for him to mark his legacy in the ECW Arena. She called out Colt Cabana and demanded that he wrestle Pelle Primeau! Colt Cabana made his way out to the ring and accepted the challenge. Lance Storm’s music suddenly hit, and he came out. Cabana went to chase him, but Storm said, “Take it easy Colt. I just got one thing to say. I was wrong, you do have some talent. You really are hilarious on the mic. Did you ever consider becoming a stand-up comedian?” Cabana was about to chase after Storm, but Pelle Primeau attacked him from behind and the match was on.
- 4) Colt Cabana vs. Pelle Primeau
Opening: Lance Storm made his way to ringside and shook hands with Jackie Gayda. The two looked on as Pelle Primeau had the early advantage over Colt Cabana. Primeau tried to lock in a headlock, but Cabana countered by back suplexing Primeau right on his dome.
Finish: Pelle Primeau kept trying to lock in the headlock, but Colt Cabana kept countering with lariats. Cabana went for the Colt 45, but Primeau escaped. Primeau chopped at Cabana, but little effect was felt. Colt Cabana dropped Pelle Primeau with a powerbomb and then locked in the Maple Leaf for the immediate tapout at 5:05. He was clearly sending a message to Lance Storm.
- Lenny Leonard interviewed Austin Aries backstage. Aries said his stock had “low risk and high return.” He also added that it is a “safe investment” that he’ll win tonight’s triple threat match.
- 5) Homicide vs. Low-Ki
Opening: Homicide offered a handshake to his former student and told him, “The East needs you.” Low-Ki shook his hand and said, “I don’t give a damn.” The opening sequence was absolutely phenomenal with the two men going hold for hold with each other. It was obvious that they knew each other so well, and it’d be difficult for one to get the advantage. They went for another grapple, but Ki caught Homicide off guard with a vicious kick to the shin.
Finish: Low-Ki kept trying to synch in the Dragon Clutch, but Homicide kept blocking it. Low-Ki caught Homicide in the back with several kicks that could be heard throughout Philadelphia. Low-Ki went for a Buzzsaw Kick, but Homicide ducked and leveled Low-Ki with a lariat. Homicide went for a cover, but Low-Ki kicked out at the last second. Both men went to the top rope, but Homicide got knocked down. Low-Ki went for a double stomp, but Homicide was able to avoid it at the last moment. Homicide rolled off the turnbuckle and ducked a high Ki kick. Homicide grabbed Low-Ki and dropped him with a huge Cop Killa for the win at 25:59.
- After the match, Homicide got on the mic and asked Low-Ki to join the East Coast squad one last time. “You don’t have to like me, you don’t have to like the fans,” Homicide told him. “But I taught you to fight for your beliefs in this business Ki. Samoa Joe and the West coast are disrespecting us. Fight for Phili, fight for New York, fight for DC. Fight for your turf dog.” Low-Ki looked around the crowd before giving Homicide the middle finger!
- While Low-Ki was leaving, Samoa Joe saw this as an opportunity to attack Homicide, coming from the crowd. Joe pummeled Homicide with knees to the back and kicks to the face before locking in the Choke Sleeper. Low-Ki watched on as all this was happening to his good friend. All Money is Legal hit the ring and were able to run off Samoa Joe. Joe told them to wait until later tonight.
- 6) Plazma vs. Bandido Jr.
After a 20 minute intermission, the crowd watched on as two young competitors tried to impress. Plazma is on the PWMA roster, but Bandido Jr. is not. Plazma got the early advantage, but after a few dropkicks, was on the receiving end of a suicide dive courtesy Bandido. The finish came at 2:34 when Plazma hit Bandido Jr. with a Shooting Star Press.
- Our security cameras caught Nigel McGuinness and Alex Shelley talking in the corner of the locker room. Shelley told Nigel, “Management’s overlooking us man. I’m barely getting noticed here..” Shelley paused, when it appeared he noticed the security camera. Shelley threw a towel over the lense and the screen went black.
- 7) All Money is Legal vs. Samoa Joe and Mystery Partner
Opening: All Money is Legal came out first sporting Allen Iverson jerseys, showing their Philadelphia and East Coast love. Samoa Joe made his way out next, before waving to Puma to come out through the curtain. Puma started the match off with K-Murda and nearly knocked him unconscious with kicks to the side of the head. Samoa Joe brawled with K-Pusha on the floor.
Finish: Samoa Joe continued to dominate the match, but K-Murda appeared to have one last burst of adrenaline. He caught Joe with the Enziguri, but couldn’t make the tag to Pusha in time. All four men got in the ring, and the ref actually got hit in midst of all the action, but wasn’t knocked out. Joe kicked Pusha out of the ring while Puma pinned K-Murda after a Tombstone Piledriver at 15:09.
- Homicide made his way back out to the ring, but told Samoa Joe that he wasn’t going to fight him. He informed Samoa Joe that he had been suspended from the October 14th show because of his actions earlier, which left the Samoan in complete frustration. Homicide challenged Samoa Joe to a Chairs Are Legal match on November 11th at PWMA’s return to the former ECW Arena. Samoa Joe told Homicide that on the 11th, his career will end.
- 8) Austin Aries vs. Mr. Aguila vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri
Opening: The crowd was ready for what could be one of the greatest triple threat matches in the history of this building. All three men shook hands before they dropkicked another in a great comedic spot. Aries tried to lock in the early Rings of Saturn on Mr. Aguila, but Tajiri ended it with kicks to the face of both men. Tajiri went for a pin on Aries, but Aguila broke it up with a standing moonsault.
Finish: Yoshihiro Tajiri knocked out both Austin Aries and Mr. Aguila with a double springboard elbow. He tried to go for a rollup on Aguila, but it was broken up by Aries. Aries dropped Tajiri with a brainbuster and applied the Rings of Saturn to Aguila. Aguila held on for a good minute, but finally made it to the ropes. Aries went to the top rope for a 450 Splash, but out of nowhere, Tajiri came running and kicked Aries off the ropes and into the crowd! Yoshihiro Tajiri caught Mr. Aguila with the Buzzsaw Kick and covered him for the win at 35:44.
