'Hitman' Gabriel Myers defeats Chris Murphey by pinfall


This contest started soon after the doors opened (often referred to as a "Dark Match") Myers can to the ring looking to make someone pay for his loss at Falconwood last time.

Murphy put up a good fight, but Myers ended the contest within 3 minutes after dominant control and a huge F5.

Match 2

Singles Match Crowning Glory Semi-Final

Dow Jones defeats Kieran Kurupt by pinfall


After Kurupt conducted a "Willy Wonka" chant, Dow attempted to charge Kurupt multiple times (but missed every time.) Kurupt continued to have fun at Dow's expense. Dow eventually took control after a harsh shot to Kurupt's abdomen. Dow consistently tried to slow the pace down, but Kurupt kept fighting back and creating opportunities. Kurupt mounted an offensive sequence after barely the referee's count after being battered by Dow on the outside of the ring. Kurupt hit his Killswitch maneuver, but Dow rolled out the ring to avoid a pinfall attempt. In the closing moments, Kurupt looked to hit another Killswitch, but a kick to Kurupt's aching abdomen allowed Dow to execute a Credit Crunch for the victory. Dow advances to the Crowning Glory Tournament Final.

Match 3

Singles Match Crowning Glory Semi-Final

'Mr Hollywood' Shane Stevens defeats Buff Broadside by pinfall


'Mr Hollywood' came out of the gates as cocky as ever with a taunting display of strength against Broadside. Perhaps too confident, as Broadside quickly turned the tables and sent 'Mr Hollywood' reeling on a number of occasions. After missing a second rope maneuver, 'Mr Hollywood' pretended he sustained a knee injury to catch Broadside off-guard, delivering a huge Superkick to Broadside as the referee separated them. Stevens took control and employed a series of huge power moves to wear Broadside down. All the while, Dow Jones and The Tycoon were deep in conversation at ringside. I wonder what they were discussing...


Broadside created an opening to unleash a huge flurry on 'Mr Hollywood'. However, distracted by Dow and The Tycoon, Broadside's momentum was cut off by Stevens, who executed a huge slam for the win. Dow advances to the Crowning Glory Tournament Final. After the match, Dow and 'Mr Hollywood' shook hands before their match later on for the Crowning Glory Trophy.

Match 4

Singles Match

'Trashman' Marcus Broome defeats Sammy Smooth by pinfall, retaining the UKPW Inter-Regional Championship


'Trashman' won the UKPW Inter-Regional Championship from Smooth months ago. Now Smooth looked to regain the gold! This contest started quickly, with both competitors charging at each other before the bell rang. The action soon spilled tot he outside of the ring. An extensive brawl broke out, and Smooth and 'Trashman' fought all around the community hall (even heading into the toilets at one point!) Smooth gained the advantage when they returned to the ring, stifling Broome's offense whenever he could. Smooth maintained control from an extended period, but too much attention on taunting the crowd was Smooth's downfall. 'Trashman' used a series of jabs and slams to level the playing field. Both men exchanged huge offensive maneuvers in the closing stretch. Despite evading 'Trashman's top rope Elbow Drop, Smooth was soon caught in a finishing Stunner by 'Trashman'. This was an EXCELLENT contest

Match 5

6-Man Tag Team Match

D&D (Cieran Donnelly/Danny Duggan) & Scott Star defeats The Brawl Street Strikers (Alexander Roth/Sam Irvine) & 'Doorman' Dom Taylor (w/ the Tycoon) by pinfall


The trio of D&D and Star have travelled up and down the country for years, often teaming with an against each other in various promotions. The familiar trio sustained a comfortable lead over The Tycoon's men for a significant period. Eventually, Taylor used the numbers advantage to gain the upper hand, holding Duggan's foot for a distraction from Irvine to take control. The Brawl Street Strikers & Taylor took in turns to pick their opponents apart (often taking advantage behind the referee's back.) Duggan evaded an attack from Irvine to tag in Donnelly where the contest evolved into chaos. The teams exchanged offensive maneuvers and quick tags until, finally, D&D & Star removed Taylor & Irvine from the contest, leaving Roth to fend for himself.

Match 6

Singles Match

'Misfit' Jorge Castano vs Kyle Ashmore ends in a time-limit draw


Ashmore looked to take home the ultimate prize; the UKPW Championship. In his way was a world-travelled veteran who would do anything to keep "his baby." The contest began with an extended exchange of technical holds between both competitors, with neither man gaining a significant advantage over the other. Irritated that Ashmore was matching him in the ground game, Castano injected a dose of venom into his offense, switching gears to strikes and chokes. Ashmore's impressive athleticism created many chances for the challenger to mount offense, but Castano's experience kept the action in Castano's favour by slowing the pace down. The playing field was levelled after a jab from Ashmore. Ashmore carried Castano on his shoulders and accidentally hit Senior Official Martin Raymondson with Castano's spinning legs!


As a result, Raymondson was unable to make several pinfall attempts that, otherwise, would've certainly seen Ashmore crowned the new UKPW Champion. After a close pinfall, the announcer informed the audience that there were only a few minutes left in the contest. Despite scrambling to end the contest quickly, Ashmore couldn't finish the job in time! The time limit ran out and the announcer ruled the contest a draw.
