Bang Bros (August Matthews & Davey Bang) vs Country Air
(Doc Simmons & Zach Hendrix)
This a rematch and I really liked the previous one, so I am very
excited to see what they have in store for us.
Mathews and Hendrix open the match with some mat wresting and exchange holds
until Mathews sends Hendrix to the outside with a headscissor and things begin
to speed up. Bang and Simmons come in
and really pick things up. Bang takes Simmons
down with a Lucha armdrag and the Bang Bros use some really impressive double team
moves, but Mathews misses a tumbleweed flip on Simmons and Country Air takes
over. Hendrix picks up Mathews in a vertical
suplex position and Simmons kicks him in the head before Hendrix slams him down
to the mat. Hendrix may be the most
powerful man in the match, and he uses that power to hit a sliding clothesline
on Mathews, but Matthews is able to get away and make the tag to Bang. Bang must have had a drink while on the apron
as he has all kinds of energy. He hits a
flying headscissors, then a running clothesline in the corner on Simmons. Bang follows this up with a springboard clothesline
for a near fall. Mathews gets on the
apron to give Bang a Bang but gets knocked down. Country Air hits some double team maneuvers
on Bang followed by a spinal tap by Hendrix, but they only get a near fall. Bang hits a springboard cross body and is able
to get a drink of Bang. This fires him
up and he picks up both opponents and hits a steam roller on Simmons. The Bang Bros go for the double 450, but Mathews
misses and Hendrix throws Mathews into Bang to break up the pin. Hendrix picks up Bang and Simmons hits a double
stomp on Bang for the win. This gives
each team a win against the other and I am really looking forward to the rubber
match.
Brooke Valentine vs Charlie Kruel
Charlie offers Brooke some Pop Tarts. Brooke takes the Pop
Tart, but upsets Charlie because she wants to save it for later and does eat it. Brooke however does end up eating a superkick
from Charlie. Charlie tries to lay in
some chops but has little effect on her stronger opponent, so she resorts to a double
chop to throat. She then chops the back
of Brooke’s knee to bring her to the mat and chokes her on the ropes. Charlie is looking to keep Brooke grounded. She may seem a little off, but Charlie is
wrestling a very smart match to this point.
Brooke starts firing back but Charlie hits her with a roundhouse and continues
to keep Brooke grounded with strikes and chokes. Brooke is able to overpower Charlie and hits
a clothesline but misses with the leg drop and Charlie counters with a snap
mare. Charlie keeps the offence coming with
3 knees to a downed Brooke in the corner and gets a near fall. She then decides to exchange strikes with
Brooke, which may not be the smartest idea.
Brooke catches Charlie off the ropes and sends her to the mat with 2 suplexes
followed by a cannonball in the corner for a near fall. Charlie is able to come back with a tornado
DDT out of the corner for a near fall of her own. She then goes for a Pop Tart and shoves it in
Brooke’s mouth. Charlie takes down
Brooke with an armbar, but Brooke picks her up and drops her with a sideslam. Charlie hits a step up enziguri and tries to
roll up Brooke, but this time Brooke has a Pop Tart in her hand that she shoves
in Charlie’s mouth. Brooke is able to
hit the Bee Sting, her spear, for win.
This was a very impressive debut for Charlie Kruel in Zelo, as she
showed that she is not only entertaining but also a very good wrestler and
seems to be continually improving every time I see her. Brooke Valentine was a little too much for
her on this occasion and you have to believe that Brooke has her eye on the
women’s championship.
Storm Grayson vs Jacob Dean
They exchange shoulder blocks to open the match. Dean gets wrist
control and drops Grayson with 3 kicks.
He then hangs Storm on the ropes and drops him to the outside with a knee. Dean follows him to the outside but gets distracted
by Brubaker and Storm hits a Russian leg sweep. Storm rolls him back in the
ring and keeps control of the match. He
hits a back suplex but takes a little too much time posing and only gets a 2
count. Dean is able to get a snapmare
and kick, but Storm follows up with a big lariat. Storm has been in control of this match since
the distraction on the outside. Dean
hits a boot in the corner followed by a butterfly suplex for a near fall. He gets Storm up for a big urinage, but only
gets a 2 count again. Storm comes back
with a great blue thunder bomb for a near fall of his own. He then hits a roaring elbow, but Dean counters
with a Yakuza kick and Storm rolls to the outside. Dean hits a back body drop on Storm on the ramp. Dean looks to have the match under control,
but Brubaker crotches him as he is coming back in the ring and Storm takes advantage
with a pump knee. Storm gets the 3 count
but needed a lot of help to get the win and it seems that this rivalry may not
be over.
Heather Reckless vs Sierra
Sierra is evil, but is wrestling in her hometown, so she is
being cheered as she comes out. Sierra has the size advantage and looks to use
that in the early going of the match. Reckless
is able to take her down with a drop toe hold and low dropkicks. Sierra puts a halt to Heather’s offense as
she is on the 2nd rope and drops her headfirst on the top turnbuckle. Sierra follows this up with a pump kick for a
near fall. She then runs into an elbow
from Heather, followed by a guillotine attempt, but Sierra drives her into the corner
and hits a power bomb in the center of the ring for near fall. Sierra goes for a back breaker, but Heather is
able to escape and hits an enziguri on Sierra.
Heather hits a crossbody on Sierra from the top for near fall. Sierra comes back and drives both knees into
Heather in the corner, then hits a short bomb, but only gets a 2 count. Sierra goes to pick Heather up for a suplex,
but Heather gets out. Heather hits a
kick, then a short DDT for the win. This
was an impressive showing for both women, and I feel that we may see a lot more
of Heather Reckless in Zelo as this was a very big victory for her.
Trevor Outlaw vs Colt Cabana
Trevor attacks Colt from behind to open the match and goes after
Colt on the outside, but Colt brings him into the ring the hard way and introduces
him to the corners. Trever tries to go
off the 2nd rope, but Colt gets the boot up and brings the offense
to Trever on the outside. They come back
in the ring and Trevor hides behind the ref in the corner. He then hits Colt with a right behind the ref’s
back. Colt hits a back suplex and double
chops followed by elbows. He is on a
roll now and runs at Trevor with a flying Cabana and double jump splash. Trevor
is able to get the advantage with a belly to belly suplex but runs into 2 boots
from Colt. Colt quickly follows up with
the Superman pin for the win. After the
match Frank the Clown comes out to the ring.
As he distracts Colt, Trevor crotches him from behind and they embrace. Frank the Clown announces that Trevor Outlaw
and himself are going to take over Zelo together.
Missa Kate vs Hyan vs Blair Onyx for the #1 contender for
the women’s title
Hyan takes the advantage early by laying knees into Kate and
follows it up with a dropkick. Hyan hits
a big chop on Blair in the corner, but Blair puts her in the tarantula. Kate hits a big knee to Hyan while she is tied
up in the ropes and takes control of the match.
Kate drives both knees into Blair’s head smashing it to the mat. Kate stomps Blair in the corner and then chokes
her with her own hair. She has Blair on
the mat with a headlock but Hyan stomps on her and throws her to the corner. Blair drives Hyan out of the ring and follows
up with a cartwheel drop onto Kate. She picks
Kate up and kicks Hyan with her. All 3 combatants start striking each other before
Hyan brings down the other 2 opponents with a clothesline. Hyan hits a legdrop on Kate, then a suicide dive
on Blair. Hyan drives Kate into the post. She then hits a Falcon Arrow on Blair, but Kate
breaks up the pin attempt by putting Hyan in a headlock. Kate hits a DDT on Hyan, but Blair breaks up
the pin. Blair gives Kate a DDT of her
own and locks both of her opponents in the spider lock. She bridges up and goes for the pin on both
opponents, but only gets 2 counts on each.
Kate hits a hook kick on Blair, but Blair rolls out of the ring. Hyan comes from behind and hits a double
underhook face slam on Kate for the win.
Hyan may have come out of this match as the number one contender, but
all three of these women will have championship gold around their waists
sometime in the future as they are all very impressive athletes.
Laynie Luck vs Jordynne Grace for the women’s championship
Layinie tries to take Grace down early, but Grace is too
strong. Grace takes Laynie down with a shoulder
block but Laynie kips up and drops Grace with a hip toss followed by a hyped-up
elbow drop. Laynie tries a series of
kicks, but Grace catches the last one and hits a spinebuster. Laynie goes after Grace in the corner but Grace
gets her boots up and comes down on her with a double stomp, followed by a
senton from the 2nd rope.
Grace works on Laynie’s back after the senton, driving forearms and
elbows into it. Laynie fires back with forearms
but gets caught with a couple body slams from Grace. Laynie blocks the 3rd body slam, then
hits Grace with a kick to the face and a cannonball off the ropes for a near
fall. Laynie’s back appears to still be
hurting her, and this is limiting what she can do. Grace catches Laynie in the
corner and hits a muscle buster, but only gets a 2 count. Grace goes for a powerbomb, but Laynie
counters with a headscissors. Laynie
hits a pumpkick and a sidekick, then goes for a jackknife pin, but Grace picks
her up for a powerbomb. Grace locks in a
Boston crab, but Laynie makes it to the ropes. Laynie hits a German Suplex and
is able to hit the Unicutter, but Grace rolls out of the ring to avoid being
pinned. Laynie has used everything in her arsenal is getting frustrated, so she
gets a chair from the crowd. The ref
takes the chair from her and she hits Grace with the belt when the ref’s back is
turned. She goes to pin Grace, but Grace
is able to kick out. Laynie argues with
the ref and Grace comes from behind her and rolls her up with an O’Conner roll
for the win. Laynie Luck tried to take a
shortcut to win, but it backfired and Jordynne Grace is the new champion.

up powerbomb for the win.
Ladder match to crown the first Zelo Pro Champion: Egotistico Fantastico, GPA, Bryce Benjamin, Mason Conrad, CJ Esparza and Brubaker

earlier. As the match starts, CJ hits Ego
