Transcript
- 0:10Hello and welcome to Brothers Graphics episode 39.
- 0:17As we head towards episode 40, I'm Pet Brothers and on this
- 0:26episode we are going to be taking a look back at what
- 0:31happened at North Wrestling's Let the Cannons Fly 7, which
- 0:36took place at Project House Leads.
- 0:41So this is a show that's quite late in reviewing, truth be
- 0:51perfectly told. This is mainly due to scheduling
- 0:57and kind of a cluster of reason to be fair.
- 1:04That all said I've promised them weeks and weeks I will review
- 1:09the show and by fuck or by fuck I am going to do it bad heel and
- 1:19all. So we will try get through as
- 1:26much as we can. So our first match was the pre
- 1:32show and this was between Bruiser Brad and Evan Bishop.
- 1:39I don't have too many notes on this match if any.
- 1:45On this match. Bruiser Brad did pick up the
- 1:49victory while everyone seems to now message me which is my fault
- 1:56but not turning sound off. There we go.
- 2:02Anyway, yeah, Bruiser Bright picked up the victory to which I
- 2:09believe he is from the fair city of Aberdeen.
- 2:15Evan Bishop who I think is a local in terms of being from
- 2:23Yorkshire way as a couple of friends of mine that being Chris
- 2:31Lawson and Jeebus who everyone knows they were chanting his
- 2:38name and being as they are more of the White Rose variety along
- 2:45with Nicky Ewers the the Rose between two fawns shall we say
- 2:52they were chanting for Evan. This was quite a fun little free
- 2:58show match in to be perfectly true, but N have had a couple of
- 3:05pre show matches now and from memory they've all been really
- 3:12good. This one didn't particularly go
- 3:16too long, it might have gone about 7 minutes or so.
- 3:21The previous pre show match we had was Billy O'kee against Ian
- 3:28Skinner. O'Keefe I've never seen prior to
- 3:34this. Skinner I've seen almost too
- 3:39much at times, but it's never a bad thing.
- 3:44But on this occasion, yeah, everyone kind of did the part.
- 3:49Bruiser Brad riled up the locals.
- 3:53Evan Bishop was a high flying son of a gun, so we then
- 4:00actually moved to the show in question, which was left the
- 4:04Cannons Flight 7, one of North Wrestling's staple shows on
- 4:11their calendar. So we start off with match #1A
- 4:18Lunar taking on session Moff Martina.
- 4:23And this again did not go particularly long, but it was a
- 4:30fun little opener. So checking the notes, of which
- 4:35I don't have many, but I have some Martina, well, we have an
- 4:42absolute downpour here in Manchester.
- 4:46Shock, horror. Now Martina tries to get a Luna
- 4:51to dance with her. A Luna then joins in the fun.
- 4:58Ben smacks the derriere, shall we say, of session Mark.
- 5:02Martina goes to almost apologetically apologise
- 5:10effectively, but instead rolls her up, gets a 2 which sees the
- 5:17angry side of Martina coming out, but does a great job
- 5:23through all of this in not spilling a single drop of her
- 5:28beer. So then we see Moth giving her
- 5:34can to referee Swift, I believe it was a Luna, then takes the
- 5:41can of the referee almost in a kind of apologetic.
- 5:49I'm using that word a lot already, using in a kind of I'm
- 5:55sorry, peace offering successor Mop who is on the top rope, but
- 6:02a Luna turns round, hands it back to the referee and Ash the
- 6:06ref turns round, a Luna kicks her right in the head and from
- 6:13then on it's a drop kick to session Mop who is laying across
- 6:19the bottom rope. It's another drop kick to the
- 6:25back of session Mark gets a near fall.
- 6:30We then have Martina turning things around with a Fisherwoman
- 6:35suplex for A2 count. Aluna then puts her opponent in
- 6:40a kind of like a Figure 4 but flipped and then almost a
- 6:49recalculated Figure 4 in a sense.
- 6:54However, Martina gets to the rope, stomps in the corner from
- 7:00a Luna. Martina comes back hitting his
- 7:04sphere, followed by a twisting release suplex.
- 7:10A Luna then hits OH then slaps Martina and gives her a head but
- 7:16double knees to the back before coming off Brett's rope with a
- 7:21knee right across the small of Martina's back.
- 7:28Session Mark then hits an unorthodox move, almost like an
- 7:33abdominal stretch, but then turns into a pinning attempt
- 7:40which draws A2 count before hitting a code breaker off
- 7:45Brett's rope to get the 1-2 and the three again.
- 7:52Really fun little opening match this the crowd was.
- 8:00I'd say the first few matches took them a bit to get warmed up
- 8:07so they weren't as vocal as we kind of like went on.
- 8:14So it wasn't as loud I thought as the previous show, but again,
- 8:22does not take away anything from that show.
- 8:28I'll kind of discuss more of that at the end.
- 8:32We then move to match #2 which was A tag team match with Henry
- 8:39Faust, Daz Black taking on Vanity, that being Judas Great
- 8:45and Ronan King. Now, I will be very quick on
- 8:51this because a lot has happened since.
- 8:57I don't want to kind of downplay it and I don't want to go
- 9:04overboard with it. It's kind of in that mix.
- 9:08So just as Vanity got in the ring, AI can't call them and a
- 9:19fan, I can't call them a human. They shouted at a slur which was
- 9:28very quickly dealt with by the yellow shirts at North.
- 9:35We did have like a mini incident was handled very well which if
- 9:42you saw my tweets around this time will know what my thoughts
- 9:46were. But.
- 9:50Thumbs up to everyone at North after the match.
- 9:54Tom Campbell Drew got an impassioned speech.
- 10:01Not like particularly fully needed to be said, but it's just
- 10:05a shame that where we are now society wise, this is still
- 10:10going on. But just what's very quickly say
- 10:14well done to not for sorting this out.
- 10:20So we will touch or say touch. We will get straight into what
- 10:25happened. So we had Daz Black and Judas
- 10:29grade for their respective teams.
- 10:32Early teamwork from Vanity as Great and Ronan do a really good
- 10:39job at Stifling does Black. That does not last very long
- 10:45though because we have Boust getting involved with them,
- 10:51Boust and Black showing their cohesiveness with Henry doing
- 10:57his kicks and Black giving out the chops to poor Ronan King.
- 11:03Who is the being subjected to this torture in the corner?
- 11:10Henry finds himself in a spot of bobber when King hushes him in
- 11:15the corner. This is where Grey who's doing
- 11:20his kind of handstand in the corner and then pendulum
- 11:27dropkick into the face of Faust. Black then has to fight off Grey
- 11:35in the ring and has Ronan King on the outside trying to get at
- 11:40him. So fighting off from outside and
- 11:43in Mule kicks Ronan and then hits a lovely float over from
- 11:50the outside into the ring to hit a float over DDT to Judas.
- 11:57He follows this up with a spinning crossbody to Ronan on
- 12:01the outside and then goes on to hit a incredible springboard
- 12:09moonsault into a scorpion death drop.
- 12:13I put it for 2. Well, my camera decides not to
- 12:18work, but never you mind. From that point on we see does
- 12:25like diving to the outside on Judas Grey.
- 12:32Black is caught up with the emotion and the adrenaline going
- 12:36through him. However, this allows Judas to
- 12:40get back to his feet back in the ring and equally it's his own
- 12:45dive to the outside to get revenge.
- 12:50Soon after we have Black not knowing that Ronan has tagged
- 12:56Judas prior to Greg going through the ropes.
- 13:00So this is where King grabs Black from behind, puts him in a
- 13:05kind of wheelbarrow position, and has Grey coming off the top
- 13:10row hitting an elbow. Judas then follows this up with
- 13:16a standing moonsault with Black hitting a Pele kick, and Faust
- 13:21then tags in and hits multiple strikes to Judas Grey before
- 13:27hitting him with a Michinoku Driver.
- 13:31Ronan King then comes in, picks up Henry who is sat down on the
- 13:36mat, almost dead weight really, and then plants him with a
- 13:41spinning sit down powerbomb. Ronan then lets his cockiness
- 13:48get getting the better of him as he goes to the centre of the
- 13:56ring on the outside, scales the ropes very carefully, where if
- 14:04you know Project's house, there's a girder that runs right
- 14:08across the the ceiling above the ring.
- 14:13So Ronan decides to kind of make a moment, so to speak.
- 14:20So he grabs onto the girder, crawls along it like kind of a
- 14:25spider man would. Henry realises what Ronan is
- 14:30trying to do, see spouse rolling to the outside where King is now
- 14:37left on his own hanging from this girder and does what hits
- 14:43him with a drop kit and takes a a bump.
- 14:48He should not really have talked but when cockiness gets the
- 14:53better of you, you, you will do stupid things.
- 14:57Grey hits a Shining wizard followed by a spinning rack
- 15:02slams I called it. Grey then hits a Swanton but
- 15:08lands our Jeff Hardy these days where all the weight seemed to
- 15:13go on the chest instead of just off the chest instead of rolling
- 15:18off him. It was at this point the crowd
- 15:23seemed to think that Faust was out of it completely because the
- 15:32view we had looked like Grey had landed on his head.
- 15:36I landed on Henry's head. I should say it very gnarly and
- 15:42even watching it back on Patreon, it still does not look
- 15:47he it still does not look not any nicer than it did.
- 15:51It leads on that day as it is Daz Black trips up Judas who
- 16:01inadvertently low blows his partner to which King had been
- 16:07doing the very lacked cover of of doing like a China cover to
- 16:14ivory from WrestleMania 17 where the elbows are literally just
- 16:19resting on the opponent and they're just leaning up against
- 16:22them. But obviously the head butt to
- 16:26the the balls to put no finer points on it.
- 16:32Low blows his partner. We then see Black making the
- 16:36tag, hits a shotgun dropkick followed by Crucifix Bond to
- 16:43pick up victory for their team. Again this this was a really
- 16:50solid match. Really good to see more of Judas
- 16:55Grey Ronan King. I have not seen too much of,
- 17:01only kind of through these N Shields and Leeds, but I've
- 17:06really enjoyed watching him. First time watching Daz Black
- 17:11and I can understand why WWE selected him for a tryout
- 17:20because he is. He's quick.
- 17:28He's quick and high flying and you could arguably put him in
- 17:34the Leon Slater envelope. Very, very quick hits, some
- 17:47really kind of inventive high flying moves.
- 17:53I think it's better to say, but yeah, I really enjoyed this
- 17:57contest and this kind of saw the crowd getting a bit more into
- 18:06the the show I felt, which which was a good thing because you
- 18:12really need more crowd interaction.
- 18:17There we go to match them three. Alexis Falcon taking on Molly
- 18:26Spartan Whenever I see Alexis Falcon on a show I will always
- 18:34get the biggest smile on my face even though she is the biggest
- 18:41rule breaker. The probably is in brute
- 18:45wrestling but she's just too damn good.
- 18:53It's again, you have these two women who both I feel are
- 19:01amazing at being the rule Breakers for different reasons.
- 19:08Falcon, because she has the comedic, very much the comedic
- 19:14side, is a hell of a wrestler. But.
- 19:20Putting the two together and it's no wonder that she is right
- 19:27now. I would make a case say she is
- 19:32the best in the UK right now. So you are from that to Molly
- 19:41Spartan who you don't see very often.
- 19:46Molly playing the kind of the fan favourite, mainly because
- 19:53she's so good at being like the baddie, so to speak.
- 19:58The villain where she's just going to shout at you.
- 20:04And I mean, having Molly shouting at you is it's a scary,
- 20:12it's a scary thing when it happens.
- 20:16I've I've had it, not personally but I've had a look towards.
- 20:22My direction and shout and have that angry really kind of like
- 20:29Celtic anger and it is no fun, let me tell you.
- 20:36But I love both of them. If you be told, but anyhow, the
- 20:42match chance of Molly's going to kill you.
- 20:47Alexis telling the crowd, oh really, she she really going to
- 20:51kill me. And then the most random chant
- 20:56of Scotland coming from the the Leeds crowd, which I think took
- 21:05Molly back. I don't think she she ever
- 21:08expected to hear the crowd chanting Scotland, Scotland,
- 21:13Scotland, but she took it. She was happy, so the pair lock
- 21:23up. Falcon huffs and puffs and
- 21:27stomps, but cannot move. Molly Spartan.
- 21:34The Spartan then kind of just shoves.
- 21:36A flying Alexis tries this twice and is repeatedly shoved back,
- 21:43much to the crowd's delight, then calls for the test of
- 21:48strength, where a fan heckles Alexis with You don't lift, she
- 21:55replies back. Well, it doesn't look like she
- 21:58lifts either, and Molly's face is one of you cheapy bitch.
- 22:07And then they go to do a Tesla's friend.
- 22:11But you know damn well they're not going to do this and they
- 22:14don't as Molly, sorry. As Alexis pokes Molly in the
- 22:18eyes. Alexis then tries to body slam
- 22:26Spartan chants of Molly lifts as Falcon struggles to even just
- 22:36maybe get a toe off the ground. She tries.
- 22:44She tries that hard. What's up?
- 22:47And then effectively says yeah I think she does lift actually
- 22:51because I can't lift her. Which has the crowd laughing.
- 22:57We then have a body check by Molly and has the wicked bitch
- 23:03of Brit wrestling in trouble. An avalanche splash with a turn
- 23:09around axe handle sees Molly then missing with a diving
- 23:14crossbody. Falcon hits a me to the face of
- 23:19Molly which looked brutal. Falcon then hits a backstabber
- 23:25and the fans continue to get on Alexis's case continuing to say
- 23:31you can't lift. She then turned around and I
- 23:36quote I can kick her in the fucking face which she tries but
- 23:44Spartan catches her and then nails her with a head.
- 23:50But Molly then finally hits the crossbody to the back of Falcon.
- 23:58Falcon hits a standing off with her head which was a nice kind
- 24:04of like move to get into it. To be fair.
- 24:07Molly rallies though hits a Spartan bomb off the ropes.
- 24:12Falcon then gets literally and I need literally a fingertip on
- 24:18the rope. Just.
- 24:21Stretching her hand out, the fingertip just touching the
- 24:28bottom rope, Falcon then hits the spinning neck breaker.
- 24:34Alexis tells Molly. You mean fuck all to me?
- 24:39Molly avoids the following move by Alexis Falcon and goes on to
- 24:48hit a massive spear to pick up the victory.
- 24:53I love this match. This was a whole lot of fun.
- 24:59Again, as I said a minute ago, I love Molly, I love Falcon, both
- 25:08doing everything here right. Molly did not do too much
- 25:17dissimilar from when she's kind of like the villain, just a bit
- 25:22more less echoing back the heart the audience, but shows that she
- 25:29is an absolute ass kicker. The same goes for Alexis Falcon,
- 25:37one of the, again, as I said, one of the best in the UK right
- 25:42now. And this is just one of my
- 25:45favourite matches all on the night.
- 25:49So we come back with a interview on Patreon with Faust and Black
- 25:57still celebrating their victory in that tag team match
- 26:02previously on the show. Black cuts a well.
- 26:07Black says we were breaking bones, breaking the orbit.
- 26:11Baus talks about singles competition between the two.
- 26:16Black agrees with what Henry is saying and says that they'll
- 26:20both do well in the NCL Cup, only for Henry to find out that
- 26:29he's not in it and does is. And then we have this slightly
- 26:36awkward moment where Black thinks, oh, I shouldn't have
- 26:43said anything, and Ralph does well to kind of lessen the
- 26:50tension and just wish him well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 26:54You'll do well. You'll do good.
- 26:58Yes, slightly awkward interaction at the end, but but
- 27:03what they're doing with this, it all went well.
- 27:09So we then moved to, I think this was the first half main
- 27:15events, if you want to use that term, which was the Ultraviolet
- 27:22Championship, Clint Magera taking on Scotty Rock.
- 27:28And my big massive note I have underneath this is this was
- 27:36physical by God, wasn't it? Just there is a lot that
- 27:43happened in this match. So we will try and cypher
- 27:47through this. So we both obviously trade moves
- 27:53early on. The first big move if you like,
- 27:58coming from Scotty Rock as he bounces off the ropes, tumbling
- 28:04through the air and coming down on the north side.
- 28:08As Clint moves out of the way on the outside, Rock thinks he's
- 28:14knocked down his taller opponents only to turn around
- 28:21and he's met by Clint Mcgara. The crowd are very much split on
- 28:29who they want to win this. I'd probably say Mcgara may have
- 28:34had more sharing for him. I'd probably, I'd say 5050,
- 28:42probably 5545, truth be told. And as the action moves around
- 28:52ringside, Nikki here is with Jeevis and Chris.
- 28:58He's screaming quite a few times because he always seems the
- 29:01targeter. It feels Scotland collapses
- 29:05nearer. Then we have the Guerra slamming
- 29:09rock on the concrete floor, which I mean goes without
- 29:15saying, will not feel good. Clint then drops an elbow to the
- 29:21outside from Brett's rope, which if you don't know is the second
- 29:24rope. See, you learn something new
- 29:27every day. He then grabs A squashed can and
- 29:33goes to drag it across the forehead of the head of the
- 29:38champion. We then see a staple gun coming
- 29:43into play as Clint goes to staple an A4 sheet of paper with
- 29:49the face of Will Cruz, who is now Mason Rook in NFC.
- 29:56And congratulations on getting a job in NFC, always great to see
- 30:04British talent doing well. But under the picture of a shot
- 30:11Will Cruise. Photo is AQR code and if anyone
- 30:18had taken their phone and scanned it, it took you to Nov's
- 30:23Patreon, which was a fun, ingenious idea to get people to
- 30:29sign up with. Obviously Nov's Patreon.
- 30:34Scotty then avoids the staple gun, instead staples Clint many
- 30:41times on the arms, the face, the chest, and even the balls.
- 30:49Clint is then tripped up, ends up crashing into a chair that's
- 30:55set up in the corner. A rock hits double knees into
- 31:00the face of his opponent. He then sets up two chairs,
- 31:05dropping him on it, and then sits on him just posing like a
- 31:11grandmaster. We then get a moonsault, a lion
- 31:18salt if you like, off rock to the bowl that is draped across
- 31:25these two chairs. But they're kind of set up in a
- 31:30very awkward side on way. So if you imagine it's not great
- 31:38for audio Facebook, if you imagine the, if that's the seat
- 31:44and you pull it down and then you kind of turn it that way.
- 31:49Yeah, it's effectively turn the chair sideways off and then put
- 31:54the chairs together. It's awkward.
- 31:56You'll probably see it if I put the the visual representation
- 31:59up, which I probably built. So from that point that draws A2
- 32:06count, Mcgarrett then sets up these carpet grippers.
- 32:12Which? Seems to be a new thing coming
- 32:15into wrestling shows, especially deathmatch of the carpet
- 32:20grippers now. But he's but curb stomped by
- 32:25Rock as his head kind of goes into one of these grippers and
- 32:31even his arm. Scotty then jumps on the back of
- 32:35Clint who falls back into a door which was set up and for once
- 32:41the door broke. Which didn't happen when it was
- 32:47Rock and Franco fate. On the last show in Leeds it
- 32:52took him three times. Thankfully the door this time
- 32:57was not in business for itself and actually broke first time.
- 33:04Clint then hits a Mitch and Oku driver with a Death Valley
- 33:09driver onto the barbed wire skateboard which Scotty Ward
- 33:14Rock brought with him. The we then see a barbed wire
- 33:20chair that gets set up and Scott staples the balls of the
- 33:26challenger again because why not?
- 33:30He then has him powerbomb on chair, a shotgun drop kick into
- 33:36the carpet, grippers from Rock into the Guerra, hits a German
- 33:43suplex and with the pull of the pants on, the Guerra uses that
- 33:51leverage to see Scotty Rock retaining his Ultraviolet title
- 33:57and gets out of Leeds. Still you're not ultraviolent
- 34:03champion. We then head to the Patreon of
- 34:11all the Ronan King promo talks about how together they have run
- 34:18up and down the country and Ronan said I used to call you my
- 34:24best friends and we had each other's back.
- 34:28But then last September things seem to change as at this time
- 34:33it's our King picking up an injury and you could make a case
- 34:40this is where this or Judas Grave getting out more and doing
- 34:48a lot more stuff, especially on North at least.
- 34:54And then King puts once it came back it changed.
- 35:00And while he admits he does take shortcuts, Grey has had his head
- 35:05turned by the North bands. It doesn't feel like Grey that
- 35:10he knows. And for everything that he's
- 35:14done for Grey, he's kind of annoyed that as long as much as
- 35:19King has had his back, it's never felt Grey has had his and
- 35:25informs us that he is in the NCL Cup tournament and is going to
- 35:31prove to Grey that he was right all along.
- 35:35So we we kind of know now that King is in that tournament.
- 35:43And spoilers, the final of the NCL Cup was Judas Grey and Ronan
- 35:51King. Hopefully, he says.
- 35:56I may possibly do a review on that when the show is published
- 36:03and when a certain friend has time to go on.
- 36:11We then head to our penultimate match of the show, which is the
- 36:19North Championship as that damn dirty dog Gene Money defends
- 36:27against Trent fucking 7. So as we get into this, the
- 36:37crowd really is Case 5050 here. There's a couple of matches on
- 36:44the show where the crowd are really torn between who they
- 36:50want to win and certain matches, but this one feels very much a
- 36:56case of a cigarette paper may still not be able to determine
- 37:04who can split the crowd. I'll say that again, a cigarette
- 37:13paper can not separate the crowd because it is so close.
- 37:21If you're watching this, I'm not a dad, I just stole my dad's
- 37:24cup. Anyway, the match itself, we see
- 37:33Trent barging into Jean and continues to barge into Jean
- 37:40trying to knock him off his feet, but for every time he
- 37:44doesn't he pulls his big manly trunks up, does it so much that
- 37:52he almost causes strangulation to the the balls.
- 38:00To put it one way, and I've put here, he pulls his pants up so
- 38:07high that they nearly turn into a massive bong on mankini and
- 38:13the thought of Trance 7 in a mankini.
- 38:19I'll be honest, I'm not really here for it to be as nice as I
- 38:24can on that. Any who money chops Trent and
- 38:31sees him impressively picking up 71 arm off the top row before
- 38:38slamming him down. Jean then hits a spear on Trent,
- 38:45but Trent then fakes a chop, blows a Raspberry on Gene Money
- 38:50stomach, very much the same way that Money would do it to his
- 38:56opponents. 7 by this time has chopped Gene so much that Gene's
- 39:07chest is effectively red raw with these knife edge chops.
- 39:13And of course he does. One misses Jean at one point,
- 39:21but we all know ring posts and Treads 7 go together like milk
- 39:28in a cup of tea. That's a segue there.
- 39:35Trent smashes his hand off the ring post as he would do and as
- 39:40Gene turns around his chest is as red as a Robin.
- 39:45Later on we see a cobra clutch being put on by the challenger.
- 39:53Money then says chop him, do it, do it, chop chop me harder, but
- 40:037 instead twists the nipples of Money and then snaps the fingers
- 40:10of the champion which I could actually hear.
- 40:14Because sometimes when they do that spot you don't always hear.
- 40:20I've worked out at least 40 chops must be in this match with
- 40:26about 90 of them or 90% coming from Trent.
- 40:32Both hit high line crossbodies. Sorry, I'll rephrase that.
- 40:40The the spot where both men go off the ropes and they go to hit
- 40:46the crossbodies and they just find each other because they
- 40:51both have the same idea. They do this twice to each other
- 40:57as the crowd gets more remote into this contest.
- 41:02Jean then hits a spring spear from the outside in but he's met
- 41:11the big punch. 7. Referee is then knocked to the
- 41:16ground. Gene sends Trent into ref sanded
- 41:21which is how we get the referee going down.
- 41:25Money then hits a power bomb but there is no referee to count the
- 41:29ball. At this point we see Seven
- 41:33bringing the North title into the contest and as he looks like
- 41:39he's going to hit Gene, the crowd are all chanting no no no
- 41:44no and the conscience of Trent sees him putting the belt down.
- 41:55Money hits an Impaler DDT on Trent but on the belt and then
- 42:03hits A7 Star. Lariat only gets 2A pile driver
- 42:10by Trent lands A2 count and this is just a crazy kind of like
- 42:17back end of the match. Trent then goes out to use the
- 42:22belt but puts the title belt on the kind of turnbuckle because
- 42:32it's kind of out of everyone's way.
- 42:35This is after Ref Casey begged him not to do it.
- 42:39However, Gene hits a ripcord clause line of kind of like
- 42:45money maker if you want to call it that money then hits a
- 42:49burning hammer to his opponents dumps him into the corner.
- 42:56Trent goes first base but first base first.
- 43:00You can get the words out. Instead of being like Yoda, he
- 43:04goes into the corner and as he kind of stumbles round G money
- 43:11gives him a slice of Ainsley lariat and picks up the win.
- 43:19What a match this was. Gene and Trent show each other
- 43:25respect after the contest, hugging each other after what
- 43:31had been. Absolutely incredible match.
- 43:35Trent who is just seems to be putting on bangers this year,
- 43:42especially in North in Leeds because he had that epic match
- 43:47with Rio still. I mean my favourite match of the
- 43:53year. As we approach mid-May, however,
- 44:01we then have Gene talking about we still have the scramble match
- 44:08to come and without saying names, talks about my tag team
- 44:15part is going to be in this match.
- 44:19It's going to effectively talk about Nathan Black, but does
- 44:27well to not mention Nathan Black as he continues to talk about my
- 44:34tag team partner. My tag team partner.
- 44:38We are interrupted by the strains.
- 44:46I think it's Bob Seger of all Time Rock'n'roll, the old 60s
- 44:54hits or 70s hits, 80s hits. And it's his tag team partner
- 45:01from Insane Championship Wrestling, Jack Ripley,
- 45:05accompanied by Sasha Swan our to give it their collective name.
- 45:12Risky Business. As soon as Gene Season.
- 45:18His face is one of oh God no, because he knows what's coming.
- 45:27So Jack gets in the ring, cut us a promo about how they are the
- 45:33Rough Riders in ICW and that he is going to win the scramble
- 45:38match but but then Gene stops him and says yes Jack we are tag
- 45:46team partners in ICW not enough and then asks him why are you
- 45:54here? Which is all just to build up
- 46:00the crossover with ICW and N Wrestling in June or July.
- 46:08I think it's July where they're doing a show in Newcastle and
- 46:14then the following night is in the garage in Glasgow with the
- 46:23Newcastle. Newcastle, sorry very posh.
- 46:26The Newcastle show taking place at Anarchy Brewery.
- 46:32I'm gutted I can't go to any of because one don't have the
- 46:36funds. Secondly, I really wanted to go
- 46:43but also checking trains and travelling up from Manchester
- 46:49looks unlikely. Very unlikely that I will not be
- 46:53going, so I am gutted about that.
- 46:58Anywho, Riftly cut some very innuendo promos even for money.
- 47:09This is kind of too much for him and says can you just play the
- 47:15music and end this second place? God bless.
- 47:20I loved everyone in this section to be fair, but yeah they they
- 47:25did a good job at trying to help build up those two shows.
- 47:31I'm sure they will do more as we head towards them shows.
- 47:39We then come to our main events of the show, which was the
- 47:45Scramble match where the winner can challenge for any title at
- 47:52North Wrestling at Thunderstruck for which is October I believe.
- 48:01I still have to get my ticket, but I will be there.
- 48:05So well, I know I'm not even going to tell you who's in this
- 48:09much, I will just say as we go along.
- 48:13So the first two were HMD, taking on J Joshua.
- 48:23Basically both men traded forearms, beat the crap out of
- 48:28each other with forearm and slaps for the first section of
- 48:36this match. This was a really hard hitting,
- 48:42you know, enjoyable little section.
- 48:48The third entrance was Miles Cayman, the Golden Boy.
- 48:55He runs in and tries to get a pinball on both.
- 49:00Both men kick out Joshua. Oh sorry.
- 49:06He then uses Joshua as a step and hits a blockbuster on HMD.
- 49:14We are then joined very shortly after by the 4th entrance in
- 49:20this contest, which is Emerson. Jane came in, goes to smash
- 49:27Emerson with a chair, but the chair rebounds off the top row
- 49:32and smacks the Golden Boy in the head.
- 49:36Jane then flies to the outside effectively at this point, then
- 49:42gets a chair, puts it in the middle of the ring, pulls out a
- 49:49cigarette, goes effectively kind of like take a drag of it can't
- 50:00does a drop toe hole to miles sits back down in the chair
- 50:05cutting an iconic figure, it has to be said.
- 50:09And just as she is about to light it.
- 50:12We have entrant #5 being Rio. And if you've been following
- 50:22North Wrestling, you'll know that Rio and Emerson Jane have
- 50:25had this feud going on for a wee little bit now and they saw both
- 50:34women just throwing punches and, to be honest, beating shit out
- 50:41of each other. So we had kind of two matches in
- 50:47one at this point. So you have Rio and Emerson,
- 50:51Jane, who fought all the way up the ramp up onto the stage, and
- 50:58then you had Cayman HMD and J Joshua.
- 51:05And then we saw Rio and Jane disappearing for quite a lot of
- 51:12the match. But there there was a good
- 51:15reason for this to which I the the night before, Rio had kind
- 51:24of took a bang to the foot. And from what I was told, she
- 51:31struggled quite a fair bit. And obviously on the night you
- 51:38can see the I shouldn't like the the strapping on her foot looked
- 51:44ridiculous, but necessary because it it helped keep her
- 51:50going. Oh, we won't have any Rio, which
- 51:54is bad for everyone. So they they worked really well
- 52:01around this. Sometimes they can.
- 52:06They could have just put them in the in like the last spot of the
- 52:10match, but they didn't. And they did really well, as I
- 52:15say, to work around this whole incident and had them kind of
- 52:20like brawl to the back and would later return later on in the
- 52:26contest. Entrance number six, the man,
- 52:34the myth, the legend, the God damn signs of him in Nathan
- 52:42Black. He comes out with the crowd so
- 52:49he chops Miles Cayman with everyone very happy with this.
- 52:58He then takes. Everyone.
- 53:00Out in the match at this point, Cayman is then launched over the
- 53:06top rope towards HMD and Joshua by Black entry #7 is that of
- 53:16Liam Slater and this is very. It's an interesting one.
- 53:24We see him then taking everyone else out, even telling the
- 53:29referee to move out the way. Well he did does one of his
- 53:31moves and then. An even quicker.
- 53:35One and the final entry in this match we have.
- 53:40The Monster. Kemper so he comes in, he
- 53:46attacks Liam, throws him around and having saw Slater beat him
- 53:54in 3 minutes last time out. This is a.
- 54:00Choke slam and Slater being eliminated in me A.
- 54:07Second, it feels like. But Slater's eliminated.
- 54:12We see a like a devious smile. On his face.
- 54:18So I suppose it's one of those occasions of what's his face
- 54:22because I I think there may be some more meat on this phone.
- 54:28But then we we have a fun little segment of everyone choosing to
- 54:34avoid Kemper at all costs. Nathan Black is.
- 54:38Just throwing. Cups at Kemper we have the the
- 54:45perfect incident of Kemper Bumbles.
- 54:50The first kind of plastic cup and the second one.
- 54:56He could not catch this anymore. Perfect.
- 54:59If he tried it another 99 times, he catches it and the entire
- 55:06crowd break out in a immediate holy shit chance.
- 55:13It was just perfect. You could you honestly, you
- 55:16could not do that again. It was just perfect how it all
- 55:20happened. Joshua and.
- 55:24Kemper chop Cayman chops Kemper and then runs.
- 55:33Everyone wants to avoid big man. Emerson and Rio then come back
- 55:38out and hit crossbodies on everyone.
- 55:43Joshua then hits a spinebuster and overhead suplexes to Jane.
- 55:50Jane then. Suplexes.
- 55:52Emerson HMD and Miles, I'm reading my very.
- 55:58Broken. Notes here Nathan Black and
- 56:03Joshua face off and every time Nathan goes to pose and goes
- 56:08signs. My throat's killing me now.
- 56:13Joshua stops his arms, just puts his hands on top of his muscles
- 56:19and just lowers the hands to say don't do that.
- 56:24Continues that a few. Times and then they agree that
- 56:29they'll do their own expected signature taunts so Black will
- 56:36flex his muscles J. Will do his.
- 56:40Pose but Joshua head boxing and stops him dead in his tracks
- 56:47with Nathan Black in the size pose and fall backwards like it
- 56:53is a cartoon. It was very, very funny.
- 57:00HMD then hits. Fists of Mass Destruction looks
- 57:05to take out Joshua, but Miles came in, runs in behind him to
- 57:10roll him up and eliminate HMB from the contest, which has a
- 57:18lot of fans cheering that HMD is out but equally a few Boo
- 57:27because it always felt like he was getting a bit more support
- 57:34it felt like. But maybe.
- 57:37That was. What I was trying to hear.
- 57:41Kemper then grabs Miles by the throat.
- 57:44Kamen tries to convince him not to do it, but the hesitation
- 57:50from Kemper sees the Golden Boy low blowing the monster in the
- 57:56nads, and as he collapses in a big heap, Kamen gets the
- 58:03pinball. And Miles is so.
- 58:07Happy with himself. We then see Miles chopping
- 58:11Nathan who does not sell this at all.
- 58:17Nathan then pulls out Ainsley Lariat armband that he has, I'm
- 58:23sorry, an Ainsley Harriot armband.
- 58:25I was right out of his pants, much like Gene Money has.
- 58:32Then he hits the Ainsley Lariat on Miles and that eliminates
- 58:37Cayman. Nathan then has Joshua in
- 58:42trouble, but Rio comes in and draws a tap out from Nathan
- 58:48Black with a submission hold. And then we have Rio and Joshua
- 58:55squaring off a kick by Jay. Rio fights back.
- 59:02See Jay hitting a tombstone on Rio, but she kicks out.
- 59:09Emerson. Jane then gets involved and hits
- 59:12a moonsault towards both of her opponents.
- 59:17Rio moves and has Joshua catching up for Emerson.
- 59:22Reserve reverses it into a DDT. We then get a.
- 59:29Mini match. Then for probably about 5
- 59:32minutes or so as Emerson, Jane and J Joshua have this
- 59:38absolutely epic 5 minute contest with Rio just on the.
- 59:45Outside. Chatting to fans and giving.
- 59:52Us her facial expressions. To some of these big movies that
- 59:56take place from Eva from. Both Emerson and Joshua.
- 1:00:05I think there's one that we'll we'll come to.
- 1:00:11I'm trying to remember. Which one it was?
- 1:00:13It could have been the jumping tombstone so we But before we
- 1:00:19come to that we have stiff forearms by Jay to Jane and
- 1:00:24neither is. Giving an inch.
- 1:00:26To the other, Rio is an auto shot, watching what is happening
- 1:00:31in front of her very eyes, as is everyone else in the crowd.
- 1:00:37We see a poison run off the top rope by Emerson to Joshua a
- 1:00:45Minge driver. I believe it's called.
- 1:00:47On Jay, but Joshua kicks out a jumping tombstone with a lariat
- 1:00:55and a protect your neck pile driver by Joshua gets a 2 count
- 1:01:01and that is where Rio looks at all of us in the crowd just
- 1:01:05going fucking hell Rio. Ben comes in low blows, Jay hits
- 1:01:13a package pile driver on him, and this gets us down to Rio
- 1:01:19versus Emerson. Rio, Ben goes.
- 1:01:25To hit a package pile driver on her most hated adversary at this
- 1:01:31point in time. But it is.
- 1:01:34Rolled up into. A pinning attempt and sees
- 1:01:38Emerson Jane winning the scramble match, which means that
- 1:01:42she at this current time can challenge any title at
- 1:01:50Thunderstruck 4 so she can open tag titles the.
- 1:01:56Ultraviolent. Title or the main North
- 1:02:02championship. So we have a.
- 1:02:05Lot. Of time between, well, when that
- 1:02:09was, but especially now as well from May to October.
- 1:02:15So we have a lot that can happen from now and then, especially
- 1:02:21with the summer that's upon us. But after the match exceeds
- 1:02:28Emerson smiling towards Rio and Rio takes it as you very much
- 1:02:36would expect, she hits a package file drive to to end with Rio
- 1:02:44still looking at absolute beast even in defeat.
- 1:02:51And that is how this show ends. Again, this was an absolutely
- 1:03:00fantastic show by now. Apologies.
- 1:03:06If my. Notes and recapping is not as
- 1:03:13good as it normally is, but I cannot read my own broken
- 1:03:18writing, so apologies for that, but.
- 1:03:24That said. This was a fantastic offering
- 1:03:31from North and if this is to be the last show in Leeds until
- 1:03:38they can find a new venue then they definitely went out with
- 1:03:44Bang. No pun on Canon, but this I.
- 1:03:55It's up there with a couple. Of their shows, the first show
- 1:04:01and the previous show I thought were their strongest ones.
- 1:04:04They did. It's hard to know.
- 1:04:09Where I kind of. Rank this.
- 1:04:13I may put the last show ahead of this one marginally, but equally
- 1:04:21every show at project. House.
- 1:04:24For the for the best pilot has been fantastic to watch.
- 1:04:32I say easier to get to coming from Manchester.
- 1:04:36It has not been particularly the easiest due to traffic and just
- 1:04:44well. Travelling up and across.
- 1:04:49The M62, which is not a fun particular journey when it's
- 1:04:56been cold and wet, but I'm in the north So what?
- 1:05:03What should I expect? That all said, good show and the
- 1:05:14whether I do a review. On.
- 1:05:17The NCL Cup, I don't know. Most of the time I only review
- 1:05:23shows I have been. To I may make an exception, I
- 1:05:28don't know yet. I may put this to a vote.
- 1:05:33That said though, really looking forward to.
- 1:05:37Catching. Mono, especially when that show
- 1:05:41is put on their Patreon and I'm hoping to go to their
- 1:05:47anniversary show. But besides that.
- 1:05:54There is not a whole lot left to say and I have to remember to
- 1:06:00not look at that monitor, to look at the camera, but there we
- 1:06:03go. Haven't done it, I'll show, so I
- 1:06:05try now. That said though that is all for
- 1:06:11this episode, Episode 39. I still have a couple of shows
- 1:06:18to review, one being That Bridge Which.
- 1:06:26I will get down. To eventually but Episode 40 The
- 1:06:32Big Four O will be Future Shock, The Greatest Showcase, which
- 1:06:40took place last Sunday at the Fairfield Social Club in
- 1:06:44Manchester and to which I have a couple of a couple.
- 1:06:52Of friends that. Will be joining me for this and
- 1:06:57for once it is not my old but future shows.
- 1:07:02We have coming up. Is, as I say, Bridge Pro
- 1:07:06Wrestling and the debuting Warrington Town Hall show that I
- 1:07:13went to the previous answer there, which was a really fun
- 1:07:19show as well. So yes.
- 1:07:23There will be a. Fair few shows coming soon, but
- 1:07:28before all that I have a commentary to do for the para
- 1:07:34hockey, which is technically my summer job, but yeah, I'll whiz.
