Date: July 28, 2023
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Byron Saxton, Blake Howard
Things are not exactly on fire around here at the moment as there isn’t much that can be done with the low-level stars that are presented on this show. You never know what might be taking place on the show and hopefully things are a bit better this week, just for the sake of making it an easier watch. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Ikemen Jiro vs. Damon Kemp
The action starts with Ikemen Jiro showing off some early posing with a handstand in the corner, but Damon Kemp quickly takes him down without much effort. Kemp runs Jiro over, prompting Jiro to dance at him, setting up his own shoulder to drop Kemp for a change. However, Jiro’s right hands are shrugged off, allowing Kemp to hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Kemp follows up with jacket punches and a springboard moonsault for a near fall. Jiro misses a charge into the ropes, and Kemp capitalizes with an electric chair German suplex to secure the victory in just 4 minutes and 54 seconds.
Result: Damon Kemp b. Ikemen Jiro – Electric chair German suplex (4:54)
Karmen Petrovic is ready for Ivy Nile. As a martial artist, she is determined to prove herself.
Ivy Nile vs. Karmen Petrovic
The match begins with Nile taking Petrovic down without much trouble, but Petrovic quickly reverses into a headlock of her own. Petrovic showcases her resilience by taking Nile down by the leg. A kick to the head earns Petrovic a near fall, and she follows up with a leglock. Nile manages to break free from something resembling Eddie Guerrero’s Lasso From El Paso and fights back with running shoulders. Finally, Nile locks in the Diamond Chain Lock to force Petrovic to submit in just 4 minutes and 8 seconds.
Result: Ivy Nile b. Karmen Petrovic – Diamond Chain Lock (4:08)
Duke Hudson vs. Luca Crusifino
Duke Hudson enters the ring with the rest of Chase U, and he wastes no time in driving Luca Crusifino outside the ring. Back inside, Hudson runs Crusifino over with a shoulder, but Crusifino retaliates with a headlock. Hudson slams Crusifino hard, sending him out to the apron. Crusifino manages to snap Hudson’s throat across the top rope and delivers right hands and an elbow to the face. However, Hudson starts to Hulk Up, knocking Crusifino outside the ring. Hudson dominates the match, beating Crusifino back inside and finishing him off with a Razor’s Edge in 6 minutes and 19 seconds.
Result: Duke Hudson b. Luca Crusifino – Razor’s Edge (6:19)
