TOP 10 WRESTLING PRESENTS...
ASCENSION - THE PRE-SHOW (live from the Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh, PA)
In a segment that would be taped and shown on the syndicated show the following weekend, the crowds were filing in to their seats when Director of Operations Al Snow came down to ringside with a microphone...
"Welcome to our first ever Pay Per View in Top 10 Wrestling. I want to take this moment to thank you all for coming out here to support us. As promised when we went into business, we want to give wrestling fans the best shows every single night. And to get the night started off right, we have a surprise for you all...
"As you know, later this evening, we are going to have a tournament to crown a new NWA World's Heavyweight Champion. And if you paid attention to the bracketing, there is a spot known as Mystery Opponent. What does that mean? Simply put, we are going to give someone in our locker room a second chance to make it into the tournament. And were going to open it up to everyone who wants it. All you have to do is come into this ring, and win a 35 man battle royal. So, for you fans who wanted to come to the arena early, this is for you. Let's get it started!"
And with that, bodies started piling into the ring and we were off and running...
35 MAN SECOND CHANCE BATTLE ROYAL:
Order of eliminations...
Tim Donst was eliminated by Juan Francisco de Coronado
Cedric Alexander was eliminated by Steve Corino
Joey Ryan was eliminated by Ethan Page
Tommaso Ciampa and Willie Mack were double eliminated by Michael Elgin
Claudio Castagnoli was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Ares was eliminated by Robert Anthony
Pinkie Sanchez was eliminated by Archibald Peck
Hallowicked was eliminated by Archibald Peck
Eddie Kingston was eliminated by Archibald Peck
Juan Francisco and Matt Jackson were double eliminated by Michael Elgin
Jay Lethal was eliminated by Homicide
Dasher Hatfield was eliminated by Rhett Titus
Rico Dynamite was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Frightmare was eliminated by Rhett Titus
Cedric The Hitman was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Johnny Yuma was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Tito Escondido was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Sugar Dunkerton was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Arik Royal was eliminated by Caprice Coleman
Steve Corino was eliminated by Archibald Peck
Jimmy Jacobs was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Nick Madrid was eliminated by Archibald Peck
Robert Anthony was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Kyle O'Reilly was eliminated by Archibald Peck
Rhett Titus was eliminated by Michael Elgin
Ethan Page, The Hobo, and Homicide eliminated each other when the three men tried to line up on the top of the same turnbuckle to eliminate the other. They lost their balance and crashed to the floor with a scary bump that made the crowd hit their feet. (No man would sustain any serious injury from the fall)
There were four man left in the ring facing each other down... The sole remaining tag team member, Caprice Coleman... The high flying El Generico... The beast known as Michael Elgin... and the wily and snide Archibald Peck...
El Generico eliminated by Michael Elgin...
Caprice Coleman eliminated by Archibald Peck...
Elgin and Peck stared the other down as the crowd's cheers reached a deafening roar. Peck began throwing punches to the face of Elgin... with no effect. As he kept throwing haymakers, Elgin wrapped him up in a bear hug. Punching and screaming, Peck was carried over to the ropes and promptly thrown over the top rope. The crowd was cheering for Michael Elgin, who took to the top of the turnbuckle to acknowledge the crowd...
That's when Scorpio Sky slid in under the ropes on the other side, and with a missile dropkick, Michael Elgin went over the top ropes. The bell rang, and Scorpio Sky was declared the winner of the battle royal!
The boos cascaded from the ceiling as Sky preened and posed for the crowd, as five referees tried to restrain Elgin and explain what happened. On the large screen over the entrance ramp, a video replay showed Scorpio Sky sneaking under the ropes and sliding under the ring earlier in the match. As seen in the long shot, with two referees converging over both Tommaso Ciampa and Willie Mack, Scorpio crawled under the bottom rope and slid under the ring. Because he did not go over the top rope, he was not eliminated. And with no one noticing his exit, the match continued as Scorpio Sky hid under the ring until all men were eliminated. With Elgin on the top turnbuckle, he emerged and made his move.
Elgin was enraged and started tossing referees to the side. Sky quickly slid out of the ring as security forces led by Fit Finley surrounded and escorted Elgin out of the building. As Elgin was at the entrance ramp, Scorpio Sky took a microphone in the ring...
"Ladies and gentleman, let's give it up for Michael Elgin... who's as big as he is dumb! What's the song go? Oh wait, I know... (singing) I can toss 'em over top ropes, make 'em look like big dopes, and cause a lot of pain... But now I'll go home sad and cryin', cuz Scorpio Sky sent me flyin'... if I only had a brain!"
The crowd booed loudly as Scorpio laughed loudly... "All this talent, and I can sing, too!"
Coming to the ring was his good friend, Joey Ryan, along with four beautifully (if not scantily) clad escorts sporting champagne bottles and glasses...
"Why, thank you, Joey... and thank YOU, ladies... but let's not pop our corks just yet. We have all night long to embrace and celebrate our victories... (turning to the camera)... Welcome... to The Scorpio Sky Experience!"
(the crowd boos loudly as the camera fades to black)

TOP 10 WRESTLING PRESENTS... ASCENSION
(Live/Internet Pay-Per-View from The Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh, PA)
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: BRODIE LEE VS. 2 COLD SCORPIO
The first three minutes of the match was a living, breathing best of compilation from 2 Cold. All of the best moves he had were unleashed on Brodie Lee, trashing him from one of the ring to the other, and then out the ring entirely. But once out of the ring, Brodie Lee took over on offense, and the Big Rig proved too much for the popular veteran to overcome. Despite a late match comeback attempt, there was no escape from The Big Boot. WINNER BY PINFALL: BRODIE LEE.
Promo clip - footage of Scorpio Sky eliminating Michael Elgin from the battle royal, and Elgin throwing referees around trying to get back at Sky. Using a split screen, they showed Elgin being placed into a police car as Sky ran his mouth and mocked him.
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: MIKE QUACKENBUSH VS. SCORPIO SKY
Catch wrestling fans, this match was for you. Some of the best back and forth from both men was seen in this match. But to the cheers of the Scorpio Sky Experience at ringside, the crafty upstart came up with moves that Mike Quackenbush simply didn't have an answer for. East coast fans got their first look at some new moves, including the match ending Ace of Spades. Pop open the champagne, ladies! WINNER BY PINFALL - SCORPIO SKY
Promo clip - Truth Martini telling the remaining members of House of Truth (Roderick Strong and Rhino) that he would deliver them to the NWA Heavyweight Title this very night.
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: RODERICK STRONG VS. EDDIE EDWARDS
This Ring of Honor dream match had the fans attention from the get go. Eddie Edwards took this opportunity to show the fans the despite his past tag team success, he was ready to emerge as a champion. But as he ready to move in for the kill, Truth Martini tried to grab Edwards from outside the ring. As Eddie Edwards kicked Martini off to the side, Strong had the opening to sink in The Strong Hold, ending the match. WINNER BY SUBMISSION - RODERICK STRONG
Promo clip - Ultramantis Black with Incoherence being interviewed by April Hunter. Ultramantis Black details his plans for world domination, starting with all the local restaurants in the city. Good cheap pop, and Hallowicked's yummy sounds would become a popular sound clip.
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: ULTRAMANTIS BLACK VS. KEVIN STEEN
A true clash of styles and substance. The flash of Black and the power of Steen were undeniable, and considering both men had a tremendous move arsenal, there was a dimension to the match that no one saw coming. After 10 minutes, both men tumbled outside of the ring, with neither one having a true advantage. Out of frustration, Steen viciously attacked Black with a steel chair, leading to a quick DQ and scrambling of referees to get Steen back to the ring. WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: ULTRAMANTIS BLACK
Promo clip - Highlights of Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze winning the Round Robin Match against Incoherence and The Throwbacks, and of The Tribe defeating Los Banditos. Could one of these upstart teams become the new Campenaros de Parejas champions?
CAMPENAROS DE PAREJAS SEMI-FINALS: DAIZEE HAZE & SARA DEL REY VS. THE TRIBE (HAWAIIAN LION & NAVAHO WARRIOR)
Both teams showed tremendous respect and shook hands before the match. The first two thirds of the match saw Haze and Del Ray fly all over the ring and hit The Tribe with all their best moves. But in time, the women's offense sputtered out against the bulk and power of the Tribe. When the Hawaiian Lion caught Daizee Haze with an ankle lock, it led to a submission. After the match, both teams held up the arms of the others in a display of both sportsmanship and sportswomanship. WINNERS BY SUBMISSION: THE TRIBE
Promo clip - Kevin Steen rampaging backstage, screaming for blood.
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: MIKE BENNETT VS. RHINO
The Prodigy took on The Man-Beast in arguably the best match of the prelims. Both men put in dynamic performances, but these were overshadowed by the shenanigans of their managers. In time, these shenanigans put the match to an early end when Brutal Bob took a swing at Rhino. The referee called for the bell as Rhino answered with a Gore on the hapless manager. WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION - RHINO
Promo clip - Al Snow talking with Bryce Remsburg and Fit Finlay about the show, when Maria Kanellis ran up to them and pleaded with them to reverse the decision and give Mike Bennett the win. When Show refused, she stomped her foot, called him a meanie, and stormed off angrily.
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: ADAM COLE VS. ADAM PEARCE
Off all the matches, this was the most disappointing and one sided affair. Despite his best efforts, Adam Pearce completely overwhelmed Cole throughout the match. It ended with a swinging neckbreaker, but not soon enough. A rare bad match. WINNER BY PINFALL: ADAM PEARCE
Promo clip - The Ring of Honor Championship Belt is shown at different angles, with the final shot being the belt centered a logo is superimposed over it. "Top 10 Wrestling presents... Contest of Champions... Only on Pay Per View"
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: BRYAN DANIELSON VS. TURSAS
The crowd was hot for the return of Bryan Danielson, who quickly over on offense against The Scandinavian War Messenger. The crowds cheers went louder and louder as Danielson finally locked in a Kumora armbreaker. But once it was hooked in, crowds gasped as Tursas lifted Bryan airborne with the same arm, and drove him into the mat. One Big Splash later, and it was all over. The referee was unable to raise Tursas arm, as he wouldn't let go of the injured one. WINNER BY PINFALL: TURSAS
Promo clip - Rhino backstage talking with Truth Martini, telling him not to interfere in his matches. "This is my chance to win the most prestigious title in the world, and I want to win clean. Please, let me do this my way." Martini nods his head and agrees with his charge. Off to the side, Roderick Strong shakes his head in disappointment.
NWA HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT PRELIM: JIGSAW VS. DELIRIOUS
The battle of cruiserweight flyers was very fast paced, and as it turned out, very fast. About two minutes into the match, Jigsaw connected with a Super Kick that laid Delirious out cold. WINNER BY PINFALL - JIGSAW
Promo clip - Bill Apter and Louden Noxious went over the brackets for the Quarterfinal Round for the NWA Heavyweight Championship...
BRODIE LEE VS. SCORPIO SKY
RODERICK STRONG VS. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK
RHINO VS. ADAM PEARCE
TURSAS VS. JIGSAW
CAMPENAROS DE PAREJAS SEMI-FINALS: THE BRISCOE BROTHERS (MARK AND JAY) VS. WRESTLING'S GREATEST TAG TEAM (SHELTON BENJAMIN VS. CHARLIE HAAS)
This was the match everyone wanted to see, and they were not disappointed. Twenty minutes and 29 seconds of all out action. Every single finisher that each man had was seen at least once. Fans were literally exhausted from cheering as loud as they did. After 11 near falls, Shelton Benjamin finally caught Jay Briscoe with Paydirt for a well earned victory. WINNERS BY PINFALL: WRESTLING'S GREATEST TAG TEAM
Promo clip - Backstage, camera catch up with C & C Wrestling Factory, who keep cutting back and forth on the tag teams in the division. Through their laughs, they say they will enjoy watching seeing who becomes the champions... until we decide to take the belts from them.
(to be continued shortly...)

TOP 10 WRESTLING PRESENTS... ASCENSION(writers cramp, I'm back) NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTERFINALS - BRODIE LEE VS. SCORPIO SKY The Big Rig returned to the ring to face the brash upstart. Scorpio threw everything he had at him, but could not over power him in time to avoid The Big Boot. WINNER BY PINFALL - BRODIE LEE Promo clip - Scorpio Sky walks into his locker room, where his locker is covered with plastic wrap. Joey Ryan and the ladies are ready to douse him with champagne. As Sky begins to harangue his entourage, the lockers fall in front of them, as Michael Elgin glares them down. The ladies go off to the side, as Sky and Ryan run to a waiting limousine with Elgin in pursuit ("Forget the girls, let's get out of here!"). The limousine squeals off into the night as Elgin just misses getting a hold of them. NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTERFINALS - RODERICK STRONG VS. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK Both men tore into each other right from the get go, each one knowing that the road to being a champion could end in an instant. Each man was surprisingly more defensive than before the evening, settling for a lot of quick strikes. But if that was a plan for Black, Strong had a plan in mind called playing possum. Once in range, Strong locked up The Strong Hold for the submission victory. WINNER BY SUBMISSION - RODERICK STRONG Promo clip - Set to the sound of "Thank Heaven For Little Girls" by Maurice Chavaulier (which later morphed into a metal cover of the song as it faded from a sepia toned cheesecake shot), the fans were treated to a two minute video showing the best moves of the women of SHIMMER. It started with the standard diva shoot, and morphed into something out of "Fight Club". As the SHIMMER and TOP 10 logos merged, Christina Von Errie looked into the camera... "Divas need not apply" she smirked before slapping the camera into static. Crowd loved this! NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTERFINALS - ADAM PEARCE VS. RHINO The Scrap Daddy came to play! For most of the match, Rhino could not get through Pearce's offense to gain an advantage. Adam Pearce seemed to have the match won with The Jumping Piledriver, when Truth Martini jumped onto the apron and distracted the referee. With a solid shove, Martini was sent into the guardrail. When he turned around, Rhino recovered and delivered a crushing Gore for the win. WINNER BY PINFALL - RHINO As Martini crawled in the ring, the video showed how he had interfered in the match. Rhino watched in shock, and then started tearing into Martini verbally. Martini started screaming back. The conversation got more and more heated until Martini slapped Rhino in the face. To the roar of the fans, Rhino punched out Martini, and then walked out of the House of Truth NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP QUARTERFINALS - TURSAS VS. JIGSAW A mismatch from the start, Jigsaw immediately started a series of hard kicks to the injured arm of Tursas. After a few solid kicks, the power of Tursas overcame any offense Jigsaw could throw at the monster. Tursas won the match with a choke slam that caused the monster to scream in pain. WINNER BY PINFALL: TURSAS After the match, Tursas grabbed his arm and writhed in pain. The referee made the sign of the X as medical staff (along with Claudio Castagnoli and Ares) came down to ringside to attend to the massive beast. His arm was wrapped into a splint, and it was clear that he could no longer compete in the match. Despite his being a heel wrestler, the fans gave a standing ovation to him as he made it to the back. THE COLONY (FIRE ANT, SOLDIER ANT, AND GREEN ANT) VS. F.I.S.T. (ICARUS, CHUCK TAYLOR, AND JOHNNY GARGANO) In an exhibition match that was equal parts comedy and equal parts lucha libre action, the lighter tone of this match helped get the crowd back into the wrestling after seeing Tursas' injury. From the "Ants Marching" CD skip to the "Grenade In The Ring" antics, it was all the fun you expected right up until Green Ant rolled up Icarus for the pin. WINNERS BY PINFALL: THE COLONY After the match, it all came boiling over between the members of F.I.S.T. who immediately blamed the other for the failure of the match. All three men stormed off in separate directions. April Hunter caught up with Chuck Taylor backstage... Chuck Taylor: "I am sick and tired of carrying those losers. I am sick and tired of groups. And I am sick and tired of being held back by losers who couldn't hold my jock. So for those of you who haven't quite got the message... (throwing a pair of middle fingers to the camera) YOU!!!" Cameras panned to Apter and Noxious. Apter apologized to the viewers at home for Taylor's outburst, while Noxious quietly asked if it was possible to give the finger to a fist? NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS - BRODIE LEE VS. RODERICK STRONG Roderick Strong came out with Truth Martini, telling him that The House of Truth was stronger than ever without Rhino. But was it enough strength to overcome the Big Rig. One on one, Lee was overpowering Strong, but in the most decisive move in the match, as Lee went for the Big Boot, Roderick not only ducked, but he kicked out the other knee of Lee. With him on the ground, a quick submission at the hands of The Strong Hold was inevitable. WINNER BY SUBMISSION: RODERICK STRONG Truth Martini got in the faces of the announce crew, screaming over and over that the NWA Heavyweight Championship was going to belong to The House of Truth, and would never leave! NWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS - RHINO VS. As Rhino stood in the ring, Head Referee Bryce Remsburg announced to the crowd that due to injuries, Tursas was unable to compete this evening, and that Rhino was going to receive a bye into the finals. But as he finished, Rhino took the mic... "With all due respect, I am not going to let that happen. Hey... Pearce! I saw the replay, and I am not going ahead into the tournament like this. I'm either going into this as a champion, or as a tool. So if everyone's ok with it, let's get a rematch going. Winner takes all, and winner goes to the finals." As Adam Pearce (wearing street clothes) came to the ring with Director of Operations Al Snow, Bryce Remsburg was discussing the match with Rhino. All four men stood in the ring, and with all nodding approval, the bell rang and the crowd was hot! A couple of scary kicks with Pearce (wearing heavy boots) connecting with the head of Rhino, splitting him open. The beat-down continued until out of pure instinct, Rhino connected with The Gore, and earned a clean victory over his opponent. WINNER BY PINFALL: RHINO Promo clip - Same clip as before for Top 10 Wrestling Contest Of Champions, only now featuring the SHIMMER championship belt. CAMPENAROS DE PAREJAS FINALS - THE TRIBE (HAWAIIAN LION & NAVAJO WARRIOR) VS. WRESTLING'S GREATEST TAG TEAM (SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS) The power of both the crowd and The Tribe threw off the game plans of Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team. It took everything they had not to succumb to the offense the received, but their veteran experience proved to make the difference. In time, they were able to capitalize on small missteps and control the pace of the match. In time, The Hawaiian Lion fell to The Leap of Faith, as the first ever tag champions of Top 10 Wrestling were crowned. WINNERS BY PINFALL... AND NEW CAMPENAROS DE PAREJAS CHAMPIONS - SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS Promo clip - Backstage, Truth Martini was talking with Roderick Strong, who was warming up with punches against a heavy bag. "He wants to be without truth? He wants to do things on his own? Fine. There are plenty of wrestlers in the world who will want to join up with us once you become the NWA Heavyweight Champion. This company is ours!" Meanwhile, in another locker room, Rhino silently wraps up his wrists with tape, as he rises to his feet, he is face to face with Michael Elgin, who is glaring a hole through him. Both men stare this way for a few moments, before Elgin backs away and lets Rhino pass. Neither man takes his eyes off the other. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Gary Michael Cappetta announces to the crowd... "Tonight, the NWA Heavyweight Championship will be presented to winner to this match. And presenting that belt, please welcome with me, the eight time NWA World Heavyweight Champion... Ladies and gentlemen, HARLEY RACE!" A standing ovation greeted the former champion and legendary wrestler as he carried the NWA World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder. Once he took his place at ringside, it was time for the main event... NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS - RODERICK STRONG VS. RHINO At the start of the night, these men were friends and partners in the same stable. Now, even without the title being factored in to the equation, these men were bitter rivals ready to take the other out. Both men let finesse give way to brute power as they did everything they could to hurt the other. The cut over Rhino's eye was reopened quickly, and it wasn't much longer when Strong started bleeding as well. As the match wore down, Rhino was setting up for The Gore when Truth Martini tried to pass The Book of Truth to Strong. As he and the referee fought over the Book, Rhino took the book out of their hands, and proceeded to lay out Martini with his own book. As he threw the book to the ground, Strong rolled him up and hooked the tights for the one... two... WAIT! Rhino powers out, moving the leverage, and now rolls up Strong for the one... two... THREE! WINNER BY PINFALL... AND NEW NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... RHINO As Roderick Strong and Truth Martini slunk to the back, Harley Race entered the ring, and presented Rhino with the championship belt. Both men shook hands to the roar of the crowd. It was a truly moving moment, as Rhino looked like he could cry tears of joys. All of his years in the industry, and here he was, accepting the mantle of championship and tradition, and preparing to launch the next chapters of wrestling history in Top 10 Wrestling. It was not only his moment, it was a moment to be shared by all the fans watching what was transpiring in the ring. Fade to black... Copyright 2013, Top 10 Wrestling...

TOP 10 WRESTLING
Press release to be announced on March 20, 2013...
"We apologize to fans of SHIMMER Wrestling for not including these talented performers on Top 10 Wrestling's first pay-per-view, Ascension. The reason for this was due to arranging the marketing and promotional rights with their parent company to share and utilize their talents and resources. We had hoped to have these resolved prior to the show, and sadly, we did not.
"It is with great pride that I sat down with all parties involved earlier today and signed the necessary documents to bring SHIMMER on board as an official partner of Top 10 Wrestling. While we cannot make up for the delay in debuting the talent, we will feature SHIMMER talent on a go-forward basis. To promise to deliver the best wrestling action and talent to the fans without this incredibly talented group of women is, in my opinion, a travesty.
"We are not bringing in this group to serve as mere eye-candy or between match fillers. Both myself and Director of Operations Al Snow intend to treat them as we do every wrestler in the company. We are going to give them a platform to show the fans and the world at large what they can do in the ring. There are no glass ceilings in our company. Simply put, if you have the talent and can deliver it in the ring, you can go as far as you want to. That applies to everyone in the company.
"That said, effective immediately, we are recognizing Saraya Knight as our SHIMMER Champion, and The Canadian Ninjas (Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews) as our SHIMMER Tag Champions. We are also proud to introduce the following women to the roster as well:
Cheerleader Melissa Madison Eagles Jessie McKay Allison Danger Leva Bates MsChef Christina Von Eerie LuFisto Courtney Rush Athena Mercedes Martinez Kellie Skater Veda Scott
"We are also proud to announce that Amber Gertner will be joining our backstage interview crew alongside April Hunter. Between the two of them, we have a pair of interviewers with extensive experience in professional wrestling, and who will take fans behind the scenes and inside the workings of Top 10 Wrestling.
"Again, we thank our fans for their patience and dedication to Top 10 Wrestling. We realize that you have multiple outlets in both media content and live events to provide your choice of entertainment, and we do not take your choosing us lightly. It is the greatest honor for us as a company to know that you chose us to entertain you with the best wrestling show in town, and we truly appreciate your support."

TOP 10 WRESTLING
Live Event at The Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan...
JOHNNY MACK VS. TIM DONST
A dark match to open up the show. Tim Donst's push of late was not enough to overcome the newcomer from California. All it took was a couple of CHOCOLATE THUNDER BOMBS to earn the victory. WINNER BY PINFALL - JOHNNY MACK
In a video package, Joey Ryan was talking to Johnny Yuma in a bar telling him that what happened in the past was over, and that he wanted Johnny to work with him to make a name for themselves in the tag teams ranks. After some back and forth, Johnny agreed!
JOEY RYAN & JOHNNY YUMA VS. HITMEN FOR HIRE (TOMMASO & CEDRIC) W/ MIKE FORTUNE
Fans were not expecting to see local favorite Mike Fortune to come out, let alone with the team he did. The pairing of Tommaso Ciampa and Cedric The Hitman was a lethal combination that overpowered the duo very quickly. Johnny was double teamed, but made a dramatic escape from the corner. But when he got to his corner, Joey Ryan dropped to the floor with his hands up to say, "Son, you're on your own". Despite his best efforts, The Hitmen wound up not only decimating Yuma, but injured him to the point where the still conscious Yuma had to be carried out on a stretcher. WINNERS BY PINFALL - THE HITMAN FOR HIRE
MIKE QUACKENBUSH VS. ADAM COLE
This match was quickly put together to help get the show back to a focus after Yuma's injury. Two fan favorites met with a handshake and proceeded to tear the house down. A couple of "5 Star Match" and "This Is Awesome" chants filled the arena as each wrestler gave it their all. The match was finalized, however, once Cole was able to catch Quackenbush with THE FLORIDA KEY. After the three count, the match ended as it began, with a handshake. WINNER BY PINFALL - ADAM COLE
Backstage, video cameras caught up with Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky with The Scorpio Sky Experience in a lounge setting. The two of them remarked about how stupid everyone was in this organization, and that in no time at all, all of the gold will be added to the experience. Drinks all around...
MSEERIE (MSCHEF & CHRISTINA VON EERIE) VS. THE PINK LADIES (MADISON EAGLES & JESSIE MCKAY)
Fans who were waiting for SHIMMER to make a statement were happy, and those who were expecting divas prancing in the ring were disappointed. Fast action and double teams inside and outside of the ring kept the fans into the match. There was equal cheering and support for both teams, and there were no rest holds. The match would end when McKay would catch Von Eerie with THE SCHOOL GIRL CRUSH, knocking her out, and making the victory and afterthought. WINNERS BY PINFALL - THE PINK LADIES
ARCHIBALD PECK W/VERONICA VS. EL GENERICO
The "Ole" chants were louder than ever during his ring entrance, prompting Peck to grab the microphone and rip into the crowd for singing off key. Generico was the superior wrestler, but with the assistance of Veronica, the baton kept flying in and out of the ring on to be used against the popular Luchador. Despite the cheating, Generico took over control, and even intercepted the baton mid flight. But as he caught it, the referee caught hi, and called for the bell to the disappointment and groans of the fans. WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION - ARCHIBALD PECK
S.C.U.M. (STEVE CORINO & JIMMY JACOBS) VS. THE THROWBACKS (SUGAR DUNKERTON & DASHER HATFIELD)
The action in the ring meshed classic mat wrestling with lucha libre flair. One funny moment took place when Jacobs threatened to take a spike to Dunkerton's basketball, only to have Dasher threaten Jacobs jacket with a baseball bat. The situation was resolved in a dual "hostage exchange" as the jacket and basketball were handed off simultaneously, and as Jacobs cradled his jacket, Dunkerton bounced the ball off of the rule breakers heads to the roar of the crowd. But as the match went on, the tactics of S.C.U.M. proved to be too much for our heroes, as Sugar Dunkerton fell victim to THE END OF TIME. WINNERS BY PINFALL - S.C.U.M.
INTERMISSION
Come to the gimmick tables, buy some cool stuff, get some autographs and photos with your favorite Top 10 Wrestlers - While many fans were entertained by veteran 2 Cold Scorpio, newcomer Veda Scott, and the boisterous trio of Mike Bennett, Maria Kanellis, and Brutal Bob, the most popular one this evening was The Hobo, who entertained fans with story and song. The singing brought over Archibald Peck and Veronica, who immediately chastised him for singing "the guttural backwash known as country music". Fortunately, Fit Finlay came over and got the men to back off by asking them which one wanted to see him show what he learned in his days of Catch Wrestling. As Veronica was ready to walk away, The Hobo tipped his hat to her, causing her to have a weird look on her face before she rejoined Peck.
BILL APTER INTERVIEWS NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION RHINO
To a raucous hometown crowd, Rhino came out to thank the fans for supporting him, and expressed his dedication to defend the NWA World Heavyweight title all around the world. Suddenly, Roderick Strong and Truth Martini came down to ringside in a chorus of boos. Martini got a microphone and called Rhino an "ungrateful bastard", claiming that he used The House of Truth and then abandoned them as soon as the got his title shot. Rhino shot back saying that he would rather be a champion and a man... (and then got in Strong's face)... than someone else's bitch. Both men were ready to throw down right there when Martini stepped between them (holding Apter as a shield) and told Rhino that he was fired from The House of Truth.
"No, Rhino... I'm sorry, you're not fired... you're REPLACED!"
And with that, a large man attacked him from behind with a kendo stick, taking him down. The man was none other than... KEVIN STEEN!!!
Apter got out of ring and called for security. But before they could come down, the three men made their way through the crowd and out the back. Backstage, Michael Elgin was standing there, glaring a hole in the monitor. April Hunter tried to ask him questions, but he would not speak a word. April even tried waving her hands in front of his face, but he stood like a statue. She finally walked off, shrugging her shoulders.
Earlier in the week, it was announced that the Ring of Honor (ROH) Championship was going to be awarded at the companies next pay per view, Contest of Champions. And the format for the match got the fans attention - an eight man gauntlet match under Code Of Honor rules. And the first qualifying match was ready to begin...
RING OF HONOR QUALIFYING MATCH: JUAN FRANCISCO DE CORONADO VS. EDDIE KINGSTON
With his trusty manservant Herbert by his side, the fans in attendance saw one of the most elaborate and drawn out ring entrances in the history of Michigan. Tired of the shenanigans, Kingston charged the ring and took the aristocrat down hard. What followed was a 17 minute match showing the fan exactly why both men were considered for the title. In the end, Kingston dominated the latter half of the match before rolling up Coronado for the pin. Ring of Honor has it's first title contender. WINNER BY PINFALL - RODERICK STRONG
CHEERLEADER MELISSA VS. MYSTERY OPPONENT
"The Face of Women's Wrestling" came to ringside with a microphone. She announced that she had only one goal in Top 10 Wrestling, and that was to defeat Saraya Knight and become the champion that Top 10 deserved. And to prove that point, she issued a challenge to any woman backstage who wanted the title more than she did. After a couple of moments of silence, music blared and everyone gasped... JAZZ arrived in Top 10 Wrestling. Melissa was shocked as the powerhouse quickly dominated the match, eventually getting her to submit to THE BITCH CLAMP. She refused to release it after the bell rang, forcing Melissa to tap out repeatedly. If it wasn't for The Pink Ladies charging the ring, more damage could have been done. As it stands, the women of Top 10 are now on notice. WINNER BY SUBMISSION - JAZZ
#1 CONTENDERS MATCH: BRODIE LEE VS. RODERICK STRONG
The Big Rig vs. The Messiah of The Backbreaker for a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. And is if there weren't enough ingredients in the stew, "The Scrap Daddy" Adam Pearce joined Bill Apter and Louden Noxious at the announce table. To the surprise of many, he did not interfere in the match and provided amazing insight as these two men proceeded to tear the house down. All the moves the fans wanted to see were on display as the best match of the night was saved for last. Midway through the match, Truth Martini attempted to use The Book of Truth on Lee, only to have an enraged Rhino gore him into the ringside steps. This brought out Kevin Steen and the full security force and referee squad. Fans might as well have been watching a tennis match, as the action in the ring was competing with the two brawling men being forced out of the arena by Top 10 referees and building security. From there on, Strong was disoriented in his attack plan, and Brodie Lee was able to land THE BIG BOOT over and over, and by the fourth one, he was able to get the pin fall. The fans cheered as Brodie Lee was given a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. WINNER BY PINFALL - BRODIE LEE

TOP 10 WRESTLING
Live event from Alumni Hall, Annapolis, MD
JUAN FRANCISCO DE CORANADO VS. PINKIE SANCHEZ
Good dark match to open the show with. But as usual, the pre-match entrance proved a little too much for Sanchez. He tore into the aristocrat to the delight of the crowd, and received surprising cheers when he hit THE BURNING SNICKLEFRITZ. Could the fans be embracing the former Pink Ant? WINNER BY PINFALL - PINKIE SANCHEZ
BILL APTER INTERVIEWS... ADAM PEARCE
Pearce told Apter that the reason he was in Michigan last night was to scout top contenders. And in his opinion, Brodie Lee was not a deserving contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Contest of Champions. As he said this, Brodie Lee came out to ringside. Pearce continued...
"I don't want to fight for the title shot. I just want a match with you tonight. Let the fans decide who should face Rhino in four weeks. What do you say?"
Brodie Lee agreed immediately. "Let's see what happens when Scrap Iron runs into a Big Rig!"
THE HITMEN FOR HIRE (TOMMASO & CEDRIC) W/MIKE FORTUNE VS. DOUBLE DRAGON (JOHNNY GARGANO & KYLE O'REILLY)
What was supposed to be an opening match to warm up the crowd turned into a five star match. It was a coming our party for Gargano & O'Reilly, who gelled as a team immediately. They faced massive resistance from The Hitmen, including Mike Fortune, who struck O'Reilly in the leg with some form of illegal object. Despite overwhelming odds, the young duo kept fighting against impossible odds, and started to turn the tide. If not for Cedric being caught hitting Gargano with a briefcase, who knows how the match would have turned out? Top 10 fans are already clamoring for a rematch. WINNERS BY DISQUALIFICATION - DOUBLE DRAGON
ATHENA VS. KELLI SKATER
Sadly, this match fell flat in comparison to the previous match, but not by much. Athena took control of the first third of the match, but once Kelli got out of the ring and drank her Roo-Roids, things quickly turned into her favor. The Australian powerhouse exploded into action, ending the match with SKATE OR DIE. Could Jazz be facing an equally powerful opponent in the near future? WINNER BY PINFALL - KELLI SKATER
RING OF HONOR QUALIFYING MATCH - CHUCK TAYLOR VS. WILLIE MACK
The Mouth That Roared vs. Milk Chocolate, with the winner getting a spot in the Gauntlet Match for the Ring of Honor Title. Both men were also looking to solidify their dominance in the single ranks. Both men went all out in this match, with action spilling all over the ring. But in the end, the match was determined by the master of THE OMEGA DRIVER. In the span of one week, he went from part of a dysfunctional trio to a potential champion. Top 10 is on notice. WINNER BY PINFALL - CHUCK TAYLOR
ARCHIBALD PECK W/VERONICA VS. THE HOBO
As he came to the ring, The Hobo tried to give Veronica a sad looking flower, which she accepted with a smile. This enraged the Drumline Daddy, who started flailing at The Hobo. But The Hobo was fighting for pride, and the crowd was on his side. Explosive offense brought the crowds to their feet. But just as he was ready to finish the match with a Deathjump, the opportunistic Peck pushed Hobo off of the turnbuckle and found an opening to deliver THE CRANIAL CRESENDO. And after the win, Peck snatched the flower from Veronica and stomped on it in the middle of the ring. What a cad! WINNER BY PINFALL - ARCHIBALD PECK
EDDIE KINGSTON VS. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI
Reportedly, Castagnoli was insulted by not being given a chance to compete for a title yet. If he was insulted before, he might be downright embarrassed after being defeated by the red hot Kingston. It was a very fluid in ring match, but Kingston has been on a tear since the pay per view. Some insiders are wondering if there are any members of the roster who could stand up to him on the way to a championship. WINNER BY PINFALL - EDDIE KINGSTON
INTERMISSION - The men and women of the US Navy were having fun meeting a greeting the wrestlers, but not as much fun as the wrestlers had meeting them! However, just as fans were going back to ringside, a fight broke out between Adam Cole and Arik Royal, who were signing autographs earlier during intermission. It was a back and forth brawl towards the ring, when Kevin Steen appeared and helped double team Adam Cole through a table. Fans cheered as Michael Elgin came out from the dressing room. Steen slowly backed away with a smile on his face, as Royal charged into Elgin. Elgin charged back, and both men went through another table. Elgin got up, while Royal was injured in the fall. Elgin and Steen exchanged hard looks as security intervened and separated both men. Oddly, Truth Martini was nowhere to be found...
REGENERATION X (ALLISON DANGER & LEVA BATES) VS. THE PINK LADIES (MADISON EAGLES & JESSIE MCKAY)
Fans cheered as Regeneration X came to ringside wearing the uniforms of the U.S. Navy, and clearly angered The Pink Ladies, who felt a little bit upstaged by their entrance. Not a terribly long match, as a couple minutes into the match, Eagles caught Bates with a big boot, leading to a pinfall victory for a tag team on a mission. WINNERS BY PINFALL - THE PINK LADIES
THE TRIBE (HAWAIIAN LION & NAVAHO WARRIOR) VS. C & C WRESTLING FACTORY (CAPRICE COLEMAN & CEDRICK ALEXANDER)
Sixteen minutes of five star action was how fans described this matchup. All four men hit their finishers, action in and out of the ring, and not one quarter given or taken. But in the end, the newly aggressive Wrestling Factory were able to squeeze out the victory when Coleman caught Lion for the roll up and the pin. Fans were hoping for the popular Tribe to get the victory, but respect was earned for Coleman & Alexander this night. Will a title match against Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team follow? WINNERS BY PINFALL - C & C WRESTLING FACTORY
BRODIE LEE VS. ADAM PEARCE
With nothing on the line but pride, the best match of the evening belonged to these men. Brodie Lee had the advantage early, but Pearce used his knowledge of the squared science to his advantage. He was able to dodge the BIG BOOT twice, and surprised the crowd by not only being able to lift up the 6'7" powerhouse, but to finish him off with a JUMPING PILEDRIVER. No post match attack or trash talking. Just Adam Pearce standing on the turnbuckle as Brodie Lee stared in disbelief. As Pearce climbed down, Director of Operations Al Snow came down to announce that this Saturday in Ohio, both men would meet again in a two out of three falls match, with the number one contender position on the line. Which man will emerge to face Rhino for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship?
TOP 10 WRESTLING: NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: RHINO, 270 LBS, DETROIT, MI 1) Brodie Lee, 265 lbs., Lincoln, NE 2) Adam Pearce, 240 lbs., San Diego, CA 3) Eddie Kingston, 228 lbs.,Yonkers, NY 4) Arik Royal, 270 lbs., Moreno Valley, CA 5) Chuck Taylor, 200 lbs., Murray, KY 6) Michael Elgin, 245 lbs., Toronto, Ontario, Canada 7) Mike Bennett, 225 lbs., Boston, MA 8) Kevin Steen, 255 lbs., Marieville, Quebec, Canada 9) Archibald Peck, 198 lbs., Tuxedo, Manitoba, Canada 10) Ultramantis Black, 206 lbs., Black Tea Garden

TOP 10 WRESTLING
Live event from the M.A.C. Center, Cleveland, Ohio
JUAN FRANCISCO DE CORONADO VS. DAVEY RICHARDS
Fans who came early to see the dark match of the show were delighted to see the return of Richards, who has missed weeks of in ring action at the hands of "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett. Coronado desperately wants to move up the ladder in Top 10, but it wasn't going to be this evening, as Richards went pillar to post with the aristocrat before finishing him off with The Alarm Clock. Can a rematch be coming? - WINNER BY PINFALL: DAVEY RICHARDS
MICHAEL ELGIN VS. ARCHIBALD PECK
This match came about after Peck took to the ring with a microphone and declared rock and roll music obsolete, and all the people in Cleveland "without culture or decorum". It took Elgin less than three minutes from his entrance music playing to taking Peck out with a SPINNING SIT DOWN POWER BOMB. While it was a fun match to watch (especially those who wanted to see Peck get him comeuppance), Truth Martini, Roderick Strong, and new member of the House of Truth Kevin Steen came out at the end of the match to the top of the walkway. Rather than go back and meet them, Elgin walked out through a cheering crowd. Steen looked like he wanted to go after Elgin, but was held back by Strong and Martini. What is going on in The House of Truth? - WINNER BY PINFALL - MICHAEL ELGIN
JAZZ VS. MERCEDES MARTINEZ
Jazz has been nothing less than a dynamo since emerging in Top 10 Wrestling, but Mercedes Martinez came to play. No matter what power move Jazz used, Martinez was able to find a counter to it. The frustration took over Jazz, who resorted to dirty tactics with a steel chair. As soon as the chair connected with Martinez, the bell rang and the referees hit the ring. Given the tensions backstage of late and injuries in ring, Bryce Remsberg has his crew on high alert. WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION - MERCEDES MARTINEZ
THE HOBO VS. RHETT TITUS
Still wearing a withered flower on his jacket, Titus took the microphone and made a snide remark about how easy it is for him to take the flower from a young lady like Veronica. This riled up The Hobo who came out swinging, but it was exactly the kind of mind games Rhett Titus knows will work against The Hobo. The sadistic smile was evident even up in the cheap seats when Titus hit THE MUFF DRIVER for the win. And his casual taking of the flower from the jacket after the match makes one wonder... was this all to beat The Hobo... or does the Ladies Man have his eye on a certain someone? WINNER BY PINFALL - RHETT TITUS
C & C WRESTLING FACTORY (CAPRICE COLEMAN & CEDRICK ALEXANDER) VS. INCOHERENCE (FRIGHTMARE & HALLOWICKED)
Ruthless aggression has brought C & C Wrestling Factory very far. The once popular fan favorites took it to Incoherence in a true battle of strength vs. agility. In a weird wrinkle to the match, all out of the ring shenanigans were mastered by the fan favorites, while the in ring work was mastered by the heels. A solid match that was ended when Caprice Coleman caught Hallowicked with a THERMAL SHOCK. And to the shock of the duo, after the match, Director of Operations Al Snow came down to ringside to congratulate the duo, and inform them that they are getting a title shot for the Campeonatos de Parejas against Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team tomorrow night in Princeton. "Don't party too late, fellas!" said Snow before the duo started their in ring celebration. WINNERS BY PINFALL - C AND C WRESTLING FACTORY
RING OF HONOR QUALIFYER MATCH - "THE PRODIGY" MIKE BENNETT VS. KEVIN STEEN
Fans really didn't know who to cheer for in this one, as these two masters of dirty tactics were pulling out all the stops to get a spot in the Gauntlet Match for the ROH Championship. And the first casualties of the matches were the managers. As Steen was choking out Bennett with some ringside cables, the referee was busy breaking up a fist fight between Brutal Bob and Truth Martini (well, if by fist fight, it was Bob all over Martini, and Martini curled up in a ball screaming like a girl). But once both men were escorted to the back by referees, Maria Kanellis, and Roderick Strong, a very surprising match came out of it. Without the managers interfering, both men put on a classic match against the other. But in time, Steen couldn't match up with Bennett move for move, finally catching him with THE BOX OFFICE SMASH. WINNER BY PINFALL - MIKE BENNETT
After the match, Steen called out Elgin to the ring to fight him. Truth Martini and Roderick Strong tried to calm Wrestling's Worst Nightmare, but he would not hear of it. He said that Elgin is not part of the group and shows no loyalty to them. Martini said that Elgin is part of the House of Truth, and is part of their family. And he told the fans that tomorrow night, he would have camera crews ready to show Elgin getting revenge against Bennett for winning the qualifier match at the expense of The House of Truth. "After tomorrow night, everyone will know that Michael Elgin is part of The House of Truth, and that this house is stronger than ever!"
INTERMISSION - Come on down for some cool tee-shirts and gimmicks. Get some autographs. Try the corn dogs!
BILL APTER INTERVIEWS... SHIMMER TAG TEAM CHAPMIONS, THE CANADIAN NINJAS!
Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews were greeted with a standing ovation when they were called out by Bill Apter. Both women expressed thanks to the crowd for all the support the women of SHIMMER. Apter told them the respect was well earned, as they have held the Shimmer Tag Team titles for over two years. They said that anyone in the back who wants to "woman up", they will gladly meet them in the center of the ring for the gold. No run ins or threats, just a solid interview putting over the women of Top 10.
OLYMPUS RISING (ARES & ICARUS) VS. DOUBLE DRAGON (JOHNNY GARGANO & KYLE O'REILLY)
The loudest pop of the night was for Double Dragon when they entered the ring. Not only because of the popularity the duo, but in the case of Gargano, he was a hometown favorite. But as they soaked in the adulation and addressed the crowd, a new tag team emerged from the back. Olympus Rising is the pairing of Ares and Gargano's former partner, Icarus, along with a third member of the stable, Athena. Icarus took to the mic, telling fans that leaving Gargano was the best thing that could have ever happened to him. "For no longer chained to mere mortals, I have found those who, like me, are gods!". Arguably the best tag match of the night, match went over 15 minutes before Ares caught O'Reilly with a TIGER DRIVER for the win. Crowd was stunned, but impressed. The tag ranks are set to explode! WINNERS BY PINFALL - OLYMPUS RISING
THE PINK LADIES (MADISON EAGLES & JESSIE MCKAY) VS. MSEERIE (MSCHEF & CHRISTINA VON EERIE)
Both sides of the tracks were well represented in an all out war! Even the most jaded audience members were won over by the in ring action, with "Five Star Match" and "This Is Awesome" chants broke out. There was even a "Holy Poop!" chant when Madison Eagles was hurricanrana'd off the top turnbuckle to the floor by MsChef. But while MsEerie had the advantage for most of the match, it only took one misstep for fortunes to reverse. And once McKay caught Von Eerie with 7 MINUTES IN HEAVEN, it was all that was needed. And after the match, Director of Operations Al Snow came to the ring with The Canadian Ninjas. "You both wanted the best, you're getting your wish. Tomorrow night, the SHIMMER Tag Team titles are on the line. Good luck, ladies!" WINNERS BY SUBMISSION - THE PINK LADIES
Backstage, Michael Elgin found himself surrounded by Martini, Strong and Elgin. His eyes were on the ground as Martini spoke...
"All of this talk about The House falling apart must end. This trio is stronger than ever before. We cast away Rhino, and replaced a man-beast with a nightmare! We have the Messiah of The Backbreaker as the heart and soul of the team. And tomorrow, we will have the unbreakable force of Top 10 enact revenge for keeping us out of the Ring of Honor Tournament." (lifting his head to look him in the eye). "Michael, it's time for you to do what is right for the family. Show the world what The House of Truth is all about..."
#1 CONTENDERS MATCH - BRODIE LEE VS. ADAM PEARCE
With a PPV shot against the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino in the balance, both men gave it their all. But in the time it took both men to prepare, Pearce did the better job of scouting his opponent. While Lee used his raw power and reach advantage to his fullest advantage, Pearce found new ways to fight out from underneath and re-take the advantage. 12 minutes into the match, Pearce was able to use the JUMPING PILEDRIVER to end the match. WINNER BY PINFALL... AND NEW #1 CONTENDER - ADAM PEARCE
After the match, Adam Pearce took the microphone and addressed the crowd...
"Rhino, the first time you beat me, your former manager distracted the referee from making the three count. The second time, I was leaving the arena in street clothes when you called me out. But all that is in the past. Three weeks from now, on Pay Per View, you and I will face off for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. And as you know now, the title is defended in 2 Out Of 3 Falls matches. So when you and I meet, there will be no flukes. no upsets. You are raw power personified, and strong enough to hold the strap over your shoulders. Well, so was Brodie Lee. No one in the world is better than scouting opponents for weaknesses than I am. And believe me, you will find that out the hard way..."
TOP 10 WRESTLING: NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: RHINO, 270LBS., DETROIT, MI 1) Adam Pearce, 240 lbs., San Diego, CA 2) Mike Bennett, 225 lbs., Boston, MA 3) Eddie Kingston, 228 lbs., Yonkers, NY 4) Chuck Taylor, 200 lbs., Murray, KY 5) Arik Royal, 270 lbs., Moreno Valley, CA 6) Adam Cole, 215 lbs., Panama City, FL 7) Michael Elgin, 245 lbs., Toronto, Ontario, Canada 8) Brodie Lee, 265 lbs., Lincoln, ME 9) Ultramantis Black, 206 lbs., Black Tea Garden 10) Willie Mack, 270 lbs., St. Louis, MO

TOP 10 WRESTLING
Live Event from the Jadwin Gymnasium, Princeton, NJ
Dark Match: Eddie Edwards vs. Ethan Page
Great match to warm up the crowd. Both wrestlers are currently lost in the shuffle, so to speak, so this was a chance for them to impress Top 10 Management. And that was accomplished by Edwards, who dominated the match start to finish with a brutal offense, leading to Page falling to DIE HARD. Can the former American Wolf meet success in the singles ranks from here, and when/if he does, will Davey Richards be waiting? WINNER BY PINFALL - EDDIE EDWARDS
THE THROWBACKS (DASHER HATFIELD & SUGAR DUNKERTON) VS. THE TRIBE (HAWAIIAN LION AND NAVAJO WARRIOR)
Odd match to start the show. Both men showed sportsman ship, but barely across the two minute mark, Hawaiian Lion rolled up Sugar Dunkerton in a small package for the win. Two fan favorites in a short match = bad start for the show. Fans kind of sat on their hands through this one. WINNERS BY PINFALL - THE TRIBE
MERCEDES MARTINEZ VS. CHEERLEADER MELISSA
Now we're in business. Both women brought out their best moves to win back the crowd and get them cheering. Melissa has the fan support and amazing offense, but Martinez brings a physicality to the ring unlike any other competitors. She would not only get the pinfall victory in the match, but as Director of Operations Al Snow would inform her after the match, she would face the SHIMMER champion Saraya Knight this Saturday for the title in Philadelphia. A well earned reward, indeed. WINNER BY PINFALL - MERCEDES MARTINEZ
2 COLD SCORPIO VS. THE HOBO
In what was going to be a match to determine who would receive a shot in the ROH Championship Gauntlet, the two were interrupted by Scorpio Sky and Joey Ryan, who chastised the duo verbally until both 2 Cold and The Hobo had enough and brought the fight to them. Referees came in, and bippity boppity boo...
2 COLD SCORPIO & THE HOBO VS. SCORPIO SKY & JOEY RYAN
While Scorpio and Hobo controlled the onset of the match, Scorpio Sky's agility and Joey Ryan's underhanded tactics took over in time. To the cheers of the Scorpio Sky Experience (sipping their usual champagne at ringside), the match ended when Ryan unleashed THE WALK OFF on 2 Cold, knocking him out... well, cold. The cocky duo celebrated all the way up the entrance ramp, although Ryan was limping along the way. Could the self proclaimed "Prince of Sleaze" have injured himself in the match? WINNERS BY PINFALL - SCORPIO SKY & JOEY RYAN
ADAM COLE VS. RHETT TITUS
If at first you don't succeed, try try again. A second ROH Qualifier match was scheduled, with two men who are certainly worthy of title contention. Cole unleashed all of the most potent offense you could imagine, but there were three two-and-three-quarters counts, as somehow Titus found the will to power out of the pinning predicaments. It became a true gut check for both men, and ended quickly when a battered Titus caught Cole with THE MUFF DRIVER, and used an unseen handful of tights to get the pinfall victory, and to join Eddie Kingston, Chuck Taylor, and Mike Bennett as the first four men in The Gauntlet Match. Who will emerge as the new ROH Champion? WINNER BY PINFALL - RHETT TITUS
CAMPEONATOS DE PAREJAS TITLE MATCH - WRESTLING'S GREATEST TAG TEAM (SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS - CHAMPIONS) VS. C & C WRESTLING FACTORY (CEDRICK ALEXANDER & CAPRICE COLEMAN, CHALLENGERS)
The first of two title matches was a match of sudden pin attempts that kept fans glued to the action. But despite their best efforts in recent weeks, C & C Wrestling Factory lacked the experience necessary against a team that proved that not only did they deserve their team name, but the right to hold onto the gold as well. At one point, it looked like the challengers had a chance to win. But when they mistimed the C & C CONNECTION COMBO, Benjamin took full advantage and intercepted Coleman with PAYDIRT. WINNERS BY PINFALL - AND STILL CAMPEONATOS DE PAREJAS CHAMPIONS - WRESTLING'S GREATEST TAG TEAM.
INTERMISSION - Think you had enough Easter Candy? Not until you've seen Pinkie Sanchez handing out candy while wearing a pink bunny outfit! Bryan Danielson, Sara Del Rey, and Daizee Haze were also on hand to sign autographs. Plus, a YouTube sensation was found when both Del Rey and Danielson tried to claim which one was the master of the cattle mutilation! After three minutes of spirited debate, Haze chimed in with "You know, I thought it was McDonald's who were the masters of cattle mutilation?" Awkward moment of silence, breaking laughter all around. Good times!
BILL APTER INTERVIEWS... TIM DONST
A very creepy interview. Tim Donst was staring at the camera, and never seemed to blink. His statement was spoken slowly, deliberately into the camera... "My name is Tim Donst, and I promise you... very soon... it will be a name you will come to fear..."
JAY LETHAL & HOMICIDE VS. TEAM S.C.U.M. (STEVE CORINO & JIMMY JACOBS)
It was a homecoming for all parties involved, having lived in or wrestled in the NJ area in their youth. Despite their profiles and resumes as singles wrestlers, Lethal and Homicide proved to gel together very well. Corino was the most effective wrestler in the match, and stood out very well. But in time, it was the hometown boys who brought of the match to an end, as Lethal made Corino submit to a figure four leglock. After the match, a wild melee broke out between two teams. And for the fans of hardcore, seeing Homicide (with a fork) and Jacobs (with a spike) go at it brought out a familiar (if not misplaced) chant. Both men were ready to go for the jugular, and if not for their partners, who knows what would occur? WINNERS BY SUBMISSION - JAY LETHAL & HOMICIDE
MIKE BENNETT (W/ MARIA KANELLIS & BRUTAL BOB) VS. MICHAEL ELGIN (W/ TRUTH MARTINI)
Fans were on their feet, feeling the tension that was building between Elgin and Martini was near the boiling point. Elgin was not in the right frame of mind, but his actions were strong enough to carry through with making Bennett fight the match of his career. At one point, Elgin was down for the county, when Martini distracted the referee long enough for him to get to his feet. But from there, Elgin simply could not keep up with the violence of Bennett's offense. It took a few attempts, but in time, Elgin found himself on the receiving end of a PHOTO FINISH, as the trio from Boston celebrated their victory over yet another member of The House of Truth. WINNER BY PINFALL - MIKE BENNETT
After the match, Martini chastised Elgin relentlessly. Raising his voice, pointing fingers, name calling. All the while, Elgin shook more and more and more, until he finally lashed out and caught Martini with a Black Hole Slam. Fans were on their feet as Elgin has finally had enough of Martini and The House of Truth. Suddenly, Roderick Strong and Kevin Steen were in the ring beating Elgin down with steel chairs. As they were getting ready to take his head off with a double chair swing, a figure rushed Strong and knocked him clear out of the ring. The crowd cheered loudly as the figure was recognized as... RHINO! The NWA World Heavyweight Champion fought off both men, and threw them out of the ring. With The House of Truth thrown out of the ring, Rhino helped Elgin up, and raised his hand in victory. Two former members of The House of Truth then issued a challenge for this Saturday night in Philadelphia. Rhino & Elgin vs. Steen & Strong, in a Philadelphia Street Fight!!!
SHIMMER TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - THE CANADIAN NINJAS (PORTIA PEREZ & NICOLE MATTHEWS - CHAMPIONS) VS. THE PINK LADIES (MADISON EAGLES & JESSIE MCKAY - CHALLENGERS)
Truly, a five star match, and a worthy main event for the evening. The offense and tag team precision of both teams evoked flashbacks of the great tag team action that once dominated the Northeast. But the longer the match went on, the more the challengers seemed to find new ways to counter the offense of the champions. As the match neared the 20 minute time limit, both Matthews and Eagles were fighting out of the ring. Perez was going to closing in to take out an exhausted McKay. But at the last possible moment, she connected with THE SCHOOL GIRL CRUSH, and shocked everyone with the pinfall victory. New champions were crowned, and hugged each other obnoxiously to the jeers of the fans. WINNERS BY PINFALL... AND NEW SHIMMER TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS... THE PINK LADIES
Rest well, fans... for Philly awaits...

TOP 10 WRESTLING
Live event from The Palestra - Philadelphia, PA
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Ethan Page (dark match) - You could tell how much Castagnoli loved being in this match, and he unleashed it on Ethan Page, who is trying very hard to make an impact with the Top 10 fans. Sadly, it wasn't in this match, as Castagnoli overpowered him from the get go, and any offense Page was able to muster had very little effect. Rumors abound that talent may be released in the near future, so this is not a good sign for the youngster from Canada. WINNER BY PINFALL - CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI
The Young Bucks (Nick & Matt Jackson) vs. Mike Mondo & Shane Hollister - To the surprise of everyone involved, the first match of the evening was a five star match! This was originally going to be a warm up match for both The Young Bucks (who are going to have a rematch with C & C Wrestling Factory at Contest Of Champions), where Mondo and Hollister have both come back for injury. Mondo and Hollister showed a tremendous amount of poise and teamwork, with Mondo coming across as a star in the making. This match did have some controversy, as after the referee was accidentally knocked out by Mike Mondo in a collision, Nick Jackson actually caught Mike Mondo coming off the top rope with a mid air hurracanrana, bringing the crowds to their feet. Sadly, the referee could not have made a certain three count. It took another eight minutes of action before Nick Jackson would catch Mondo with MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. Both teams look very strong, and the crowd is hungry for more! WINNERS BY PINFALL - THE YOUNG BUCKS
Bryan Danielson vs. Scorpio Sky - The first match of the night to see blood, as Scorpio Sky unleashed some of the most devastating offense seen in Top 10's young history. A bloody Danielson tried to seize control and began an MMA based comeback with strikes and kicks. But the damage was already done, and Sky capitalized with a ACE CRUSHER, and then followed up with a DRAGON SLEEPER. But as the replay showed, the Ace Crusher had already knocked Danielson out, and the referee had issued a stop to the match. Afterwards, a clearly injured Danielson had to be assisted to the back. Later reports would tell of a concussion, and that Danielson will be out at least six weeks. WINNER BY SUBMISSION/KO - SCORPIO SKY
Nora Greenwald & Tina Moretti vs. Regeneration X (Allison Danger & Leda Bates) - The ladies of Regeneration X brought the crowd to their feet by coming out dressed in the attire of Rob Van Dam and The Sandman. And the crowd stayed on their feet as veterans Greenwald & Moretti emerged as the challengers for the evening. And the veterans were easily able to outmaneuver the younger duo as Moretti was able to catch Bates in the pinfall. This clearly impressed Director of Operations Al Snow, who came down after the match to announce that the duo would receive a title match the following night in Washington, DC against The Pink Ladies. Welcome back to the show, ladies! WINNERS BY PINFALL - NORA GREENWALD & TINA MORETTI
RING OF HONOR QUALIFYER - Adam Cole vs. Willie Mack - These two had a great back and forth with some great sportsmanship and countermoves. Both men put on a great pace, with Willie Mack winning the bout with a pair of CHOCOLATE THUNDER BOMBS for the win. However, with the second move, it caused a lot of damage to Cole, who was helped back by medical staff and Mack, who was visibly upset over hurting him. Later reports would reveal a broken rib for Cole, resulting in his being out action for the next few weeks. WINNER BY PINFALL - WILLIE MACK
RING OF HONOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAUNTLET MATCH AT CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS - Eddie Kingston, Chuck Taylor, Mike Bennett, Rhett Titus, Willie Mack, TBD, TBD, TBD
The Tribe (Hawaiian Lion & Navajo Warrior) vs. Hitmen for Hire (Cedric & Tommaso) w/ Mike Fortune - Between this match and the earlier tag matches, Top 10 is clearly where the best tag team matches can be seen. The Tribe's power moves against the game plan of the Hitmen was something to behold. The Hitmen used every trick in the book to get the advantage, including Mike Fortune hitting Navajo Warrior with a stun rod while the referee was distracted. In spite of the pain, however, Warrior was able to get out of the ring, and his partner unleashed an amazing array of offense before putting Cedric away with RESERVATION DEVASTATION. Strong win for the standing ovation. WINNERS BY PINFALL - THE TRIBE
INTERMISSION - Does anyone even read this part? Just checking. Let me know if I can make this thread better, ok? Moving on
BILL APTER INTERVIEWS... OLYMPUS RISING - Coming out in togas and sandals came the new group known as Olympus Rising; Ares, Icarus, and Athena. They immediately took the microphone from Apter, and escorted him out of the ring, with they called "The Home of The Gods, and not suited for mere mortals like YOU!". They then spent the next five minutes tearing down the audience, constantly telling them to bow down and show homage to gods in mortal flesh. The crowds reaction turned to cheers when Double Dragon and Kellie Skater came to ringside, and a six way brawl ensued. The crowd chanted "let them fight", and Director of Operations Al Snow, ever the mensch, gave the fans what they wanted...
Olympus Rising (Ares, Icarus, & Athena) vs. Double Dragon (Johnny Gargano & Kyle O'Reilly) & Kellie Skater - To the surprise (and disappointment) of the fans, this impromptu match turned out to be a rather one sided affair, ending with Icarus catching O'Reilly with THE WINGS OF ICARUS for the win. Icarus refused to release the hold afterwards, and the brawl was back on. Security forces worked overtime trying to keep these six apart, until Finlay came down with a shillelagh and started cleaning house. WINNERS BY SUBMISSION - OLYMPUS RISING
SHIMMER CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - Saraya Knight (champion) vs. Mercedes Martinez (challenger) - This match was a major disappointment, as only two minutes into the match, Saraya Kight was outside of the ring with her opponent, and attacking her with a steel chair. Bryce Remsberg had no choice but to call for the bell. WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION - MERCEDES MARTINEZ
After the match, Director of Operations Al Snow came out to address the SHIMMER Champion...
"If you think this is over, and that your title is secure, think again. You will face Mercedes Martinez at Contest of Champions with the title on the line. Furthermore, between now and then, I'm booking you in non-title matches. If you lose by pinfall or submission to anyone in those matches, or if your opponent wins by count out or disqualification, you will also face them at the pay per view. I have no problem making this a three or four way match, so I hope for your sake, you can win like a champion. Good luck!"
Mike Bennett w/ Maria Kanellis & Brutal Bob vs. Eddie Kingston - 22 minutes of perfection is how the dirt sheets would call this match. The most back and forth match rolled by dice to date. Maria Kanellis attempting interference, only to be met by a Kingston kiss and bump. Later on, Brutal Bob would attempt interference, only to fall to the BACKFIST TO THE FUTURE. But the two attempts did leave enough time for the match to continue, and the conditioning of Bennett allowed him to secure a victory with THE BOX OFFICE SMASH. Both men were totally spent by the end of the match, as the crowd gave them a standing ovation. Outstanding match! WINNER BY PINFALL - MIKE BENNETT
PHILADELPHIA STREET FIGHT RULES - NWA World Heavyweight Champion Rhino & Michael Elgin vs. Kevin Steen & Roderick Strong w/ Truth Martini - Sadly, this match didn't go as long as the fans would have liked it to. Sure, there was the out of ring action and brawling one expected, and weapons galore. But three minutes into the melee, Rhino was attacked from behind by Adam Pearce in street clothes. The attack was enough to allow Kevin Steen to catch him with THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER for the win. WINNERS BY PINFALL - RODERICK STRONG AND KEVIN STEEN
The fans booed loudly as Pearce joined the members of The House of Truth to team up against Rhino and Elgin. And due to the nature of the match, there was nothing security could do so long as it was contained in the ring. Roaring to the comeback was Elgin, who showed off his massive power display by taking the fight back to them. But just as he was ready to get his hands on Truth Martini, Scorpio Sky and Joey Ryan entered the fray, beating down Elgin with kendo sticks. The six men took out the two heroes by driving them hard through tables, leaving them buried in a pile of debris. The House of Truth, The Scorpio Sky Experience (minus the ladies and champagne, for once), and the number one contender for the NWA World Heavyweight title stood defiant against the booing crowd. Will there be retribution between at Contest of Champions?

BREAKING NEWS:
According to an undisclosed source, there was a recent meeting between Top 10 Wrestling owner James Steinhoff III, Director of Operations Al Snow, Media Director Jim Cornette, Senior Official Bryce Remsburg, Security Chief Fit Finlay, and the announce crew members (Bill Apter, Louden Noxious, April Hunter, Amber Gertner, and Gary Michael Cappetta). The meeting was held to determine where improvements could be made in the shows. With Steinhoff and Snow holding court, everyone was given an opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions. The meeting lasted three hours, and was heated at some parts. Both April and Amber wanted to have more to do with the show other than being backstage interviewers. Bryce Remsberg wanted fines for wrestlers who make contact with officials. Jim Cornette wanted to also run the website along with the syndicated shows. And most shocking, Fit Finlay wanted the authority to go after wrestlers who deliberately injure other wrestlers and "give them a proper punishment".
But the bigger part of the story is that after the meeting, Steinhoff and Snow had a private meeting for another two hours. While there is no audio tape confirming it, the undisclosed source said that it was a discussion of talent, both in and out of the ring, that the two were considering firing after Contest of Champions. With an active roster of it's size, Top 10 Wrestling does have more personnel than other wrestling companies in the country. Both men made suggestions, and over 24 names were listed. And while there was a lot of debate on most of the names, there were eight that the men were in complete agreement on letting go of. In addition, there was discussion about recent contact from two former world champions who have expressed interest in joining Top 10 Wrestling. While debating whether or not to add new talent at this time, both men agreed that anyone entering this company is entering the company to work, with no guarantees given in signing new talent. So long as both men knew that, Top 10 Wrestling would be willing to sign the two former world champions.
