Masters of Wrestling is in Baltimore, MD for another night of action as tensions continue to flare.
The show kicked off with Meghan DeWitt in singles action against Japanese wrestling star, Yurei. Yurei got the best of DeWitt early on but DeWitt began to find opportunities to get in some offense. Momentum swung in DeWitt’s favor and despite a late match comeback from Yurei, DeWitt pinned Yurei for a hard-fought victory.
“Badlands” Bill Stanton and The Convict headed to the ring for a rematch against The Bomb Squad. The match never happened. Before Stanton and The Convict could get to the ring, they were attacked from behind by The Bomb Squad and left lying on the arena floor.
Larry Loudmouth invited MoW Champion Snarl to the ring. Loudmouth asked Snarl if he had seen Mark Blood training for his upcoming MoW Championship opportunity. Snarl dismissed Blood’s training and said no amount of getting beat up by nobody wrestlers would equal the brutality Blood will experience in their match. Loudmouth reminded Snarl that Blood’s trainer, The Rebel, knows Snarl better than anyone on today’s MoW roster. Snarl said he hopes the The Rebel will be ringside because he looks forward to crushing The Rebel just like the old days. Snarl then said he was not intimidated by Blood’s intense training. Snarl said he was inspired because now he understands he will have to bring new levels of brutality to the match.
John Austin Baker came to the ring for a scheduled match against Dr. Insidious. Baker waited but Insidious never showed up. The referee was forced to declare Baker the winner by forfeit. Baker, disappointed, went to leave the ring but saw a frail young man walking down the aisle with a box in his hands. The man stepped into the ring and handed Baker the box. Baker cautiously opened the box, lifted a picture frame out of the box, and looked at it in horror. Baker, clutching the picture frame tight, ran toward the backstage area. The frail man was left in the ring, laughing.
The MoW Team Championships were on the line with The Navigators getting a title opportunity against Killer Malone and Marty Anderson. The Navigators showed a lot of fire, bowling through the champions early on. Anderson hit Aidan North with a spinebuster from out of nowhere, which turned the tide of the match in favor of the champions. North found himself cut off from Pete Arrow as Malone and Anderson softened him up in their corner. Malone went for a knockout punch but North dodged, fought him off, and dove for a tag to Arrow. Arrow cleaned house and had victory in his grasp. Anderson stepped through the ropes to take a shot at Arrow but was quickly tossed through the ropes. Malone, the legal man, used that opportunity to recover and caught Arrow with a knockout punch that put him down for the count. Malone covered for a pinfall victory. Following the match, Malone and Anderson were confronted by The Bomb Squad. Stanton and The Convict reappeared and attacked The Bomb Squad from behind, getting their revenge. The MoW Team Champions watched from outside the ring with interest.
Larry Loudmouth found Claudia Winter and Lucia Mendez backstage. Loudmouth asked if the women had a response for Maria Estrella and Aurora Starkey’s challenge. Winter said Estrella and Starkey were cute in their little challenge Winter mused on putting both in their place so she can focus on getting Mendez into the title hunt where she belongs. Mendez encouraged Winter to accept the match. Andre Jordan stepped in and softly expressed his concern to Winter that he had a bad feeling about the match and suggested passing on the match. Winter got mad and asked Jordan if he thought she was too delicate to get into a fight. Jordan tried to calm Winter down, but Winter told him to shut up and agreed to the match, even suggesting they make it a street fight in the parking lot like Estrella and Starkey suggested. Mendez looked pleased with the decision, but Jordan nervously looked on.
Witchmere and Kami King met in the main event. The winner would get a title shot against MoW Champion, Cate Stiles. King came out hot from the get-go but Witchmere stopped her momentum quickly and threw the much smaller King around the ring. Witchmere focused her attacks on King’s head, causing the referee to check on King at one point in the match when she appeared dazed. King fought on but Witchmere caught her in the head vise. King was struggling but managed to slip free, stunning Witchmere. King build a strong offense and got several near falls against Witchmere. Witchmere dodged a superkick and continued her assault on King. King was thrown into a corner where Witchmere went for several running clotheslines, crushing King. Witchmere went to the well one too many times, however, as the final time she was caught with a sudden superkick. Witchmere staggered backward, somehow staying on her feet. A second superkick did the trick. King covered Witchmere for a pin and won the match. As King celebrated her big win in the ring, Cate Stiles appeared in the aisle and golf clapped at King. Stiles tapped on the MoW Championship belt draped over her shoulder and left.
