Professor P will go to the outside, as will Dez Carter. The bell sounds as Prince Darko flips off Taylor. Stefan is the smallest, but quickest man in the match. Darko calls for a test of strength.

Professor P and Stefan Taylor exit, as Dez Carter poses for the fans. He hits ringside, slapping hands with the fans, telling them: "Tomorrow night, it'll be different." Andrew Rossi and Jeff Garvin hit the ringside area, and attack Dez Carter. They are pounding the hell out of Dez Carter. Wait the crowd explodes as Yukon Gold, and Randy London hit the ringside area.

Andrew slingshots over the top rope, landing a nice leg drop to the held out leg of Yukon Gold. A loud yell fills the arena and Morgan Smythe checks on Yukon. Morgan has kept her eyes on everything Wrestling 101 does, because of what they did last week. One false move and they are gone! Rossi places Yukon in an Elevated Crab, or as he calls it the "Manhattan Crab." He wrenches back on it, but Yukon being the tall man he is, reaches the ropes. The count begins, and at the count of four, Simply Wrestling finally lets go of the maneuver. Morgan tells him he is close to a disqualification if he keeps up his antics. He justs smirks and boots Yukon in the face. He does it again. And again. Andrew Rossi, quickly tags in Jeff Garvin who attacks the leg of Yukon Gold, trying to further damage the ankle area.
Text book tag team wrestling strategy as the crowd cheers "Yukon", "Yukon" trying to motivate him. He needs a tag to the pumped up Randy London. Jeff is tying up the legs, and he has them laced with his... what is he doing? Wait, it's an INDIAN DEATHLOCK! Some newer fans might know it as Jamie Noble's "Trailer Hitch" maneuver. A painful move that puts a lot of pressure on the bones. Yukon is in the middle of the ropes, as Morgan Smythe checks Yukon for a possible tap out. Yukon is reaching for the ropes, which is what Jeff Garvin is holding, trying to get more leverage. Morgan sees the ropes shaking and asks Jeff if he had them.

Andrew is booted away with the good leg, and Yukon tries to get to his corner. He gets there, the tag is made.... but Jeff Garvin is discussing something with Morgan Smythe. Randy London is in, but is stopped by Morgan Smythe who turns around finally, never seeing the tag. The crowd boos loudly, and Andrew Rossi smiles. Randy London will not be deterred however, and hip tosses his partner to the corner, exits the ring and makes a tag to Yukon Gold. That was an old school Rock and Roll Express move, and Randy London is a house-o-fire! Spinning Heel Kick to the "beautiful" mug of Andrew Rossi. Jeff Garvin is in and is picked up for a DEATH VALLEY DRIVER. He rolls out of the rings, Andrew Rossi up and he receives a boot to the gut, and he is grabbed for a DDT.

Wrestling 101 takes the match!
The Damned vs Mystic Exposition
It appears that Sebastien Martyr will be starting this match against The Expositioner. The fans are firmly behind Mystic Exposition, with a chant echoing throughout the arena before the match has really got started. A collar and elbow tie-up and this match is underway, with Martyr sneaking behind his opponent - taking him down with a double-leg takedown into a headlock combi. Of course The Expositioner is strong enough to battle back to his feet as Martyr is forced back up as well, if only to back up towards the ropes. Blind tag by Al B. Damned as his partner is sent against the ropes - LARIAT! Expositioner just got nailed from behind! Al lifts his opponent before body slamming him right back down to the mat with an impressive show of strength. Of course the crowd don't think much of it, but a few stomps later and, well, they're still not fond of the big guy. Quick leg drop and Al goes for a cover. Two count! Expositioner kicks out before being dragged back to his feet - punch. Straight to the gut and Al is stunned. An Irish whip sends him to the corner as Al is caught by a thunderous avalanche attack. Tag out to the Mystic Ninja, and Mystic Exposition work together to take the big man down with a double suplex. Cue Sebastien. He enters the ring, taking Mystic Ninja down with a quick DDT before planting The Expositioner with his Dark Daze move, all before the referee finally orders him out of the ring. Once again, the crowd are behind Mystic Exposition, even going so far as to call Sebastien Martyr an (BLEEP) as the two legal men work their way back a vertical base. Al B. Damned is up first and he's tagged in Martyr! This time the referee can't do a damn thing as Martyr drops a knee across the skull of the fallen ninja. Pin attempt - ONE! TW--NOOO! Not even a two-count.
Mystic Ninja is yanked back to his feet via a handful of his frosted blue hair as Martyr connects with a knee to the midsection, doubling his opponent over - PRESTIGE! And that facebuster really did the job, but Sebastien isn't content. He's dragged the Ninja up again and is forcing him to the corner. A few chops along the way and he's backed against the turnbuckle with Martyr stomping a mudhole in his midsection. Al is tagged in and soon enough, would you believe, they're both stomping away at Mystic Ninja! The referee soon clears Sebastien out of the ring as Al switches to shoulder thrusts. Six or seven thrusts later and the wind has well-and-truly been taken out of Mystic Ninja's sail. If he were a yacht, he'd be stranded right now. Fortunately he's not, unfortunately, Al B. Damned has placed his gigantic mitts around the throat of Mystic Ninja. He lifts the welterweight high into the air, choking him for four or so second before tossing him back into the corner. Another tag out and Sebastien re-enters the ring. An Irish whip by Martyr sends his opponent against the ropes for the powerslam and the pin attempt ... ONE! TWO! THREEENOOO! Expositioner makes the save, but the referee quickly gives him his marching orders as Martyr lays into the legal Mystic Ninja with some closed fists to the forehead. Al B. Damned gets the tag in as Martyr drags the Ninja back to his feet - BIG BOOT! Another pin attempt -
ONE!
TWO!
THRNOOO! Ninja kicks out! The Expositioner was ready to come in, but it wasn't necessary this time. Nonetheless, he's yanked back to a vertical base and promptly sent against the ropes with another Irish whip. Al goes for a hip toss, but Mystic Ninja slides between his legs and pops to his feet. Basement dropkick to the back of the knees of Al B. Damned causes the big man to fall - SPRINGBOARD! Mystic Ninja, with a burst of energy just used the big man as a springboard to dive across the ring - HOT TAG! IN COMES THE EXPOSITIONER! Clothesline takes down the approaching Sebastien Martyr! Dropkick to the jaw of the kneeling Al B. Damned! Expositioner against the ropes - X-POUND! He's wailing away with some hard looking shots to the head of Sebastien Martyr. Caught. Al B. Damned from behind locks the Expositioner in a full nelson as Sebastien gets back to his feet. Mystic Ninja isn't moving as Martyr charges - EXPOSITIONER DUCKS - and Martyr nails his partner with a clubbing forearm smash to the face! Sebastien looks shocked as The Expositioner grabs him by the trunks and dumps him over the top rope. Mystic Ninja is stirring in his corner as his tag partner helps him back up. presumably both men now have giant smiles on the faces as The Expositioner rushes across the ring and they both ascend to the top turnbuckle...
"X-TERMINATOR!!!"
Al B. Damned just got clobbered as The Expositioner hooks a leg. ONE! TWO-Martyr's in the ring-THREE! He's too late to make the save as Mystic Exposition pull out the victory! They both roll out of the ring and celebrate in the crowd as Sebastien Martyr looks down at his fallen comrade ... If looks could kill.
Kevin Kodiak vs "The Falcon" Jacob Venar
Lock-up to start, Kodiak just manhandles Venar to the canvas, shoving the man down. Lock-up again, Falcon cinches in a headlock this time. Kodiak shoves him off, rebound from the ropes, Venar tries to take Kodiak down - the Salmon River native doesn't even budge. Kodiak challenges Venar to try it again. Off the ropes, Venar more or less bounces off Kodiak this time! A third try comes up, holy hell! Kodiak explodes out of place in tackle like maneuever and Venar hits the canvas at top speed. He's immediately hauled up and tossed into the corner RUNNING LARIAT! Goodnight! Into the opposite corner! Running lariat again! Venar is slumped against the corner and that means it's time for the lumberjack... to show this Surrey crowd how to CHOP. WHAM! Venar's eyes bulge out of his head, but Kodiak forces him back into the corner for another disgustingly loud CHOP. Now hold on here... DOUBLE AXE HAND CHOP! Venar tries to get away, Kodiak grabs the man and delivers a snap powerslam for one, two, Venar kicks out.
Kodiak pulls Venar up and drops him with a vertical suplex, then ascends to the top rope as Venar gets up. Here comes the double axehandle from the top rope SUPERKICK! Venar with a desperate superkick catches Kodiak on the way down. Kodiak is getting up but Venar wants a piece of this, he nails his running Rocker Dropper! Cover ONE, TWO, Kodiak kicks out with authority. Venar is fine with that, he hits the ropes and flies at his man. Headscissors? No, Dragon-rana--- no! Before Venar would spin around entirely, Kodiak caught his momentum and POWERBOMBED the kid right to the canvas. Good God! Kodiak goes up top, this is over! The big man flies with a top rope splash, all 262 pounds coming down across the mid-section of Jacob Venar! Hooks the leg, one, two, thshoulder up! Venar reaches way down and somehow wills himself to keep the shoulder up. Kodiak grunts with surprise, holding three fingers up to the ref. Only two affirms the ref. Kodiak doesn't let it get to him and pulls the kid back up. Shinbreaker! He holds Venar, delivers a second one. Kodiak places Venar's leg on the bottom rope and jumps on it. All this leg work must be leading to...
The Bear-Trap! Venar is in Kodiak's unique version of the Figure Four leglock! Venar should tap out right now, but the kid is trying to fight. The pain on his face tells the story though... one, two, Venar's shoulders were on the canvas but he pulls up. He's trying to turn it over, but Kodiak's thick legs are just too strong... Venar's going to be out of this one. But he's trying to reach out to the ropes, his only hope... reaching! Reaching! Crowd is cheering the kid on... he makes it! Kodiak has to let go of the hold, which he does. The damage has certainly been done. And Kodiak's simply going to put this one away, he pulls Venar back to the center, knocks him down, and applies the hold again SMALL PACKAGE ONE TWO THKICKOUT! Venar almost caught Kodiak right there, Kodiak boots Venar in the head for that one! Kodiak picks the kid up, it's time for TIMBERRRRRR, folks --- Venar flips out at the top! Kodiak turns around and meets a dropkick in the face, sending him to the ropes. Venar with an irish whip, Kodiak reverses. He charges in at Venar --- Jacob slingshots over top of Kodiak! Kevin hits the turnbuckle chest-first and stops short, giving Venar time to get distance... and nail a Whisper In The Wind! Kodiak is down and The Falcon is ready to spread his wings! He's up top and signalling for it. SMW, no, Kodiak is up! Falcon should have made extra-sure Kodiak was down enough before going up top and now he's paying for it... Kodiak tosses Falcon halfway across the ring, hits the ropes, NORTHERN BC LARIATTOOOOOO! Turns the kid inside out! No cover though, Kodiak hauling the dazed Falcon up and saying "It's over!" Hoisted up, one, two, three, four, five, TIMBERRRRRRR! All the air rushes out of Falcon's lungs and Kodiak hooks the leg for the three-count!
Kodiak hits the turnbuckles in victory as Falcon slowly gets up. Uh oh. Kodiak gets down and sees Falcon standing on shaky legs. Kodiak comes forward... and extends his hand. Falcon warily accepts, but all he gets is a hearty handshake and a solid back thumping. Jacob Venar did not come out with the victory, but he brought it all and earned the respect of Kevin Kodiak and these fans.

Odyssey tries to save, but Darko yanks him off the apron and knocks him silly with a left hook! Stone with the cover, one, two, three! Stone Zellor retains the Heritage Title!
Stone looks happy to retain, but he can't help but wonder what Darko is up to. Darko retreats to the entrance, stopping only to look back at the ring and smirk at the champion. He makes the universal "I want the belt motion" towards the champion. He's ensured his shot for tomorrow night!

Deathrow celebrates by accepting a beer from one of the fans and chugging it. Meanwhile Jake Phoenix has managed to stagger Matt Kurtis with an uppercut, then hits a thunderous clothesline that knocks the American Nightmare down! Deathrow tosses a chair into the ring, and grabs another for himself. He prepares to nail Chad Kurtis! Kurtis blocks, the shot, and wrestles the chair away from Tommy.

Deathrow is up and PISSED, trying to drive his boot into Kurtis' skull... Kurtis avoids, and goes behind for a crucifix pin! One... two... Deathrow kicks out! Kurtis with a head scissors, takes Deathrow into the turnbuckles! Kurtis with a school boy! One... two... Deathrow kicks out again! Kurtis goes for a Frankensteiner! ... And gets powerbombed into the turnbuckles. Deathrow stops Chad's momentum with one huge move. Outside the ring, Phoenix is on his feet. his eyes are glassy from the head shots, but he won't quit. He looks around for Matt Kurtis, who has found a chair for himself. He swings, Phoenix ducks, goes behind and lifts up Matt for a back drop... Matt with a thumb to the eye, Phoenix drops his man, and Kurtis picks up his chair.
SMACK
A shot to the head and Phoenix is spinning!
SMACK
The chair starts to dent a bit. We can see Jake's blood on the seat of the chair.
SMACK
The chair is destroyed. Blood is now pouring out of Phoenix's forehead. He drops to his knees, giving Matt an open invitation to bring the chair down across the Murder City Devil's back. Repeatedly. In the ring, Deathrow has set up his chairs. Chad Kurtis is holding his back in pain, but it looks like he's about to get hurt even more. Deathrow roars into the corner, driving his elbow into Chad's face. Kurtis slumps forward, and Deathrow sets up for a powerbomb! He's looking to drop Kurtis across the chairs! He powers Chad up, he's ready to plunge him into the metal...
SMACK
Matt Kurtis is in the ring. He's found a non dented chair, which he used to clobber Tommy with. Tommy drops Chad, who avoids hitting the chairs. Matt lifts up the chair to nail Deathrow again, but Deathrow reaches out and grabs Matt by the nuts. Matt drops the chair and yells in pain, and Tommy squeezes with all his might.
And grins a blood soaked grin. Matt frantically punches Tommy in the face to get the Testicular claw released, while Chad has turned the chairs around BACK TO BACK. Matt, finally out of the most dreaded of all wrestling holds, angrily brings the chair down across Tommy's skull, then sets him up for the Bluegrass Bomb.
ONTO THE CHAIRS!
The fans wince in unison as Deathrow is nearly broken in half! Jake Phoenix has somehow managed to pull himself up using the ring apron, but Chad Kurtis baseball slides a chair into Jake's face! Phoenix is down! Matt Kurtis covers!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
And just like that (though with a Herculean effort) the remarkable reign of Phoenix and Deathrow is over. WINNERS AND NEW CHAMPIONS: Bluegrass Mafia by pinfall! Some cheers, some boos. A lot of people are stunned. But what a way to end night one of Hostile Hangover II!
