Keith and Cali Dynamite’s I Quit Match was the opening contest at Christmas Calamity 2025. It was even more gruesome than the PSA Faithful expected, and it came to an end when Keith hit the Shock and Awe and locked in a chokehold on a bloody Dynamite until he reluctantly gave up.
Next, Ashes of the Spear fought The Beautiful Boys in tag team action. J-Mike and Goldielox had incredible chemistry in their first match together, and this took their opponents by surprise. The Beautiful Boys tried to adapt, but it was too late; J-Mike connected with the Mike Drop on an unsuspecting Cameron Curtis to establish him and “The Gilded Greatness” as one of the top teams in PSA today.
Mob Boss Brody finally got his shot at Bruno Bolousek’s PSA Hardcore Championship inside the Hunter’s Haven. Brody had the brilliant strategy of using the environment to his advantage, which paid off when Bolousek charged into the cage and busted himself open! The challenger used this opening to hit the Magnum Opus, but “The Blood Hunter” managed to kick out in time. Brody readied his brass knuckles, but the Champion lifted him up for the Bolousek Bomb and locked in the Mark of the Allmother to retain the Gold.
Although Mob Boss Brody failed to capture the PSA Hardcore Championship, Samuel Binglebottom was still confident he could defeat Drew Pender and leave Ultimate Hour Champion. “The Shepherd of Fire” almost fell victim to Binglebottom’s cheap tactics, but Pender countered the Bottom Feeder into the What Comes Up Must Come Down, climbed the middle rope, and hit the Super Spear to continue his reign as UH Champion.
The PSA Tag Team Championship was on the line as The Madder Lads, Cirque du Shaam, and The Owskis competed in a 3 Way Ladder Match. Handrew Frankenstein announced last week that Shell Gigante was going to be at ringside, but he mysteriously never showed up. This change in plans forced Frankenstein to craft a new one on the fly, and that ultimately proved to be his downfall. As The Owskis and The Madder Lads brawled at ringside, Allen dove over the top rope and took out all four men; this gave Sir Alex Westworthy the opportunity to climb the ladder and grab the Title belts! The fans weren’t on board at first, but Westworthy’s celebratory “Yoinky Sploinky” immediately made the new Champions fan favorites. After the match, Handrew Frankenstein had an exclusive interview. He explained that Shell Gigante never showed up because he was too busy fighting the other Gigantes, and he promised that punishment would come for them soon enough. However, Handrew’s first priority is with his father. It is time to put an end to this feud, which is why “The Madder Scientist” challenged Andrew Frankowski to a “Last Hand Standing” match at New Year’s Arrival, which has also been renamed to New Year’s “Arm”ageddon. The PSA Faithful can’t wait for this epic showdown!
Casual Adam had the biggest match of his career when he took on Johnny Warren for the PSA World Championship. Warren was expecting an easy defense, but his arrogance proved to be misplaced. Adam refused to stay down, regardless of how many Warhammers or Deathwishes “The Lifeblood” threw at him. Fearing that his Title reign would soon come to an end, Warren had to use his last resort: the Shatterpoint. This was enough to keep Adam down for the three-count, but that takes nothing away from “The Good One’s” incredible performance!
In our Main Event, Brittany Blake defended the PSA Women’s World Championship against Tara. Blake was confident she could emerge victorious, but the fact that these two have never faced one-on-one made her preparations difficult. On the other hand, Tara’s inexperience at the Main Event level made the pressure to succeed bigger than ever. It really could have gone either way, but we ended the evening with a new Women’s World Champion when Tara hit Blake with two Crowns of Midnight! As Tara celebrated this victory, she was joined in the ring by Hayley. “The Shepherdess of Fire” was very happy at first, but this changed when Hayley had a psychotic break and attacked her sister from behind! To add salt in the wound, Hayley put Tara through a table and stole the Championship. Will Tara get her revenge and have a proper reign as PSA Women’s World Champion?
Mob Boss Brody accompanied Lochlan to the ring for this opening matchup against Bruno Bolousek. Lochlan has always been one of the toughest members of the PSA roster, but “The Blood Hunter” is on a whole other level. Brody’s distractions didn’t work, and the PSA Hardcore Champion simply hit the Bolousek Bomb on his opponent to emerge victorious. Can Mob Boss Brody develop a smart enough strategy to take down Bruno Bolousek?
Backstage, Drew Pender was found talking with his Ashes of the Spear teammates. “The Shepherd of Fire” asked Goldielox to take his place in his match against Mark Cooper Jr., but he declined. He claimed he was too busy training for his tag team match against The Beautiful Boys, but it was likely just a petty response for the excuses Drew gave two weeks ago. Luckily for Pender, J-Mike agreed to add Mark Cooper Jr. to his match against Cameron Curtis later tonight.
The PSA Faithful were thrilled to see Keith, who gave an impassioned promo about his third match against Cali Dynamite. He agreed with his opponent that it will be impossible for him to quit, but not because he will be too hurt. Rather, Keith has never given up in his life, and he's not going to start now! Surprisingly, these comments brought out the PSA Women’s World Champion, Brittany Blake. She respected Keith for his perseverance, but warned that it will ultimately cost him everything. Even if “Mr. Guy” defeats Cali Dynamite at Christmas Calamity, he needs to stop hunting The Lifeblood Initiative “or else.” Keith was unfazed by this threat, which greatly offended Blake; will these warnings ring true in the future?
Prior to Hayley’s match against Low-Key Eve, she bumped into Tara. The younger sister apologized for her crashout last week, but Hayley told her no apology was necessary. Hayley clearly overstepped, and she promised to watch Tara become PSA Women’s World Champion from the sidelines. The two women embraced, signaling that the tension between them was finally over. As the bell rang for Hayley vs Low-Key Eve, however, it was clear that this statement couldn’t be further from the truth. “The Shepherdess of Fire” decimated Eve in a fit of rage, which included a brutal submission that Hayley refused to release even after Eve had passed out. Can Hayley keep her rage in check when it comes to Tara and the PSA Women’s World Championship?
Next, Handrew Frankenstein addressed the PSA Faithful. He noted that Christmas Calamity is his last chance to take the PSA Tag Team Championship from his father, and he will not waste it. To improve The Madder Lads’ chances, “The Madder Scientist” has ordered Shell Gigante to be at ringside for the entire match! This is sure to be a game changer, but we won’t know to what extent until the bell rings next week.
J-Mike, Cameron Curtis, and Mark Cooper Jr. competed in singles action. The late addition of MCII made this contest highly unpredictable, which increased the excitement levels of this contest for the fans in attendance. At the peak of the match, J-Mike shoved Curtis off of the top rope and readied for the Mike Drop. Before he could hit it, however, he was blindsided by Cooper’s California Dreamin’. MCII went for a second California Dreamin’, but Cameron Curtis ducked the kick and got his opponent into a roll-up for a surprise win! J-Mike was enraged by this loss, and he looks forward to teaching The Beautiful Boys a lesson at Christmas Calamity.
Shoot-Out Sheri came out on stage with The Ladies of Payne. Sheri reminded the PSA Faithful that she has been looking for a team for a while, and she’s hoping she’s finally found it in the form of Aayla and Anna Payne. To put their partnership to the test, the trio challenged Council of M to a Tablegeddon match at New Year’s Arrival. We can’t wait to see this matchup on the first show of 2026!
Undkban and Ben Richards fought one-on-one for the first time since Heat Wave 2022. “The Youngblood” was tasked with getting rid of “him,” and he did everything he could to accomplish this mission. He hit Undkban with the Bloodshed and the Whirlwind, but neither one was enough to put him down. As Richards readied for a second Bloodshed, however, “The Pharaoh” hit the Sands of Time to put an end to the match. As soon as the bell rang, Undkban escaped through the crowd as security guards readied for Johnny Warren’s entrance.
The Director of PSA, clearly upset that Ben Richards failed to defeat Undkban, walked down to the ring and called out his challenger at Christmas Calamity. The PSA Faithful were unsure if Casual Adam was here, but the place exploded with cheers when the mulleted megastar’s music hit. Warren congratulated Adam for his victory in the Proving Grounds, but he made it abundantly clear that he is never ending the year as PSA World Champion. “The Good One” said he doesn’t know how Christmas Calamity will go, but it would be really funny if Casual Adam was the one who finally defeated Johnny Warren. The Champion was annoyed that Adam wasn’t taking these threats seriously, but he maintained his composure and raised the Title arrogantly. Who will leave Christmas Calamity the PSA World Champion?
The Thanksgiving Sin edition of Ultimate Hour was opened by The Owskis, who immediately called out Cirque du Shaam and The Madder Lads. As the teams entered the ring, the Champions explained that while they are excited to face Cirque du Shaam, they also need to get rid of The Madder Lads. Their solution is quite simple: face both teams at Christmas Calamity. Allen said they would agree to the terms, but only if the 3 Way is also a Ladder Match. When asked why, he clarified that since he can “fly”, he will have no trouble retrieving the Titles hanging above the ring. Handrew Frankenstein called Allen an idiot, which upset Sir Alex Westworthy. “The Bardic Inspiration” wanted to defend his partner’s honor, so he challenged Frankenstein to a match right now!
In the match between Handrew Frankenstein and Sir Alex Westworthy, Shell Gigante’s presence at ringside gave “The Madder Scientist” a huge advantage. Westworthy successfully hit the Can Opener, but the robotic Gigante pulled Frankenstein out of the pin with ease! After getting back in the ring, Handrew blocked a second Can Opener and hit the Body Bag to secure the victory.
To celebrate Thanksgiving, the Jonsun Culinary Academy cooked dinner for the entire PSA roster! Everyone was ecstatic about this except for Samuel Binglebottom, who called the food disgusting. This upset Jeff “The Chef” Jonsun, who had a brief scuffle with Binglebottom before the two were pulled apart; Jonsun will team up with Dalton Pepper to take on S.O.B. and Mob Boss Brody next! Before the match began, however, cameras cut to Hell Gigante and El Gigante meeting backstage. The two of them don’t get along, but they both agreed that they need to do something about Shell Gigante and The Madder Lads before things drastically get out of hand. How will The Gigantes stop Handrew Frankenstein and his minions from taking over?
The Jonsun Culinary Academy sought justice in their tag team match against Samuel Binglebottom and Mob Boss Brody. Unfortunately, this effort was unsuccessful when “The S.O.B.” secretly poked Jonsun in the eye and hit him with the Bottom Feeder to pick up the win. Bruno Bolousek appeared after the match for a confrontation with Mob Boss Brody, but he was stopped by the rest of Binglebottom Industries. “The Blood Hunter” found this scare tactic amusing, and he told Lochlan that he looks forward to seeing him in the ring next week.
Next, the PSA Faithful heard from Ashes of the Spear’s J-Mike and Goldielox. They were upset that they weren’t included in last week’s Tag Team Championship #1 Contendership, especially when losers like The Beautiful Boys were featured instead. This brought out Cameron Curtis and Richard Hale, who remarked that not only are they former PSA Tag Team Champions, but Goldielox and J-Mike haven’t even teamed up before! This started a brawl between the four men, and it was announced that Ashes of the Spear will get the opportunity to prove themselves when they face The Beautiful Boys at Christmas Calamity.
One of the newest members of the PSA Roster, Anna Payne, was the one to accept Cruella Castonova’s Roster Roulette Championship Open Challenge. Payne had an impressive debut when she eliminated 4 women in the Proving Grounds, and she continued this momentum by going toe to toe with “Miss Obsidian” here. This was sadly ruined by Macho Mars and Mega Marc, who were jealous of the newcomer’s success. They came down to the ring and distracted the challenger, which allowed Castonova to hit the Nova Bomb and retain the Title. Council of M began to beat down Anna Payne, but they weren’t expecting Shoot-Out Sheri to stop the assault! Has Sheri found her posse in the form of The Ladies of Payne?
Tara and Brittany Blake finally met for their PSA Women’s World Championship contract signing. These two have never faced one-on-one, but Blake knew exactly what to say to get under her challenger’s skin. She remarked that Hayley has never beaten her, so what makes her little sister think she has a chance? Tara tried her best to remain confident, but these comments brought out “The Shepherd of Fire,” Hayley. She moved everything out of the way and got in the face of “The Gold Mine,” and that is what finally sent Tara over the edge. She pushed Hayley on the ground, yelled at her for always being in her way, and promised to succeed where her sister failed by defeating Brittany Blake and becoming PSA Women’s World Champion. This message finally got through to Hayley, who simply stood up and walked away. Both Blake and Tara then signed their contract, which made this dream matchup official for Christmas Calamity!
Backstage, Johnny Warren spoke with Cali Dynamite. “The Lifeblood” clarified that this is the last chance to defeat Keith, and he took things to the next level when he announced that this third showdown will be PSA’s first-ever I Quit Match! Dynamite thanked Warren for the stipulation, but he promised to hurt Keith so badly that it’ll be impossible for him to quit. As the two men finished up their conversation, the Director of PSA called over Ben Richards. Warren didn’t say much, but his instruction was clear: Richards will finish this business with “him” next week. Can “The Youngblood” stop Undkban from getting his hands on Johnny Warren?
The Main Event of Ultimate Hour Thanksgiving Sin saw Dave and Montana Malibu collide in a Seven Seas Street Fight. This is the first time “The Shellraiser” has gotten his hands on Malibu since their breakup at Carnival of Conquest, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. It was an absolute bloodbath, which peaked when Dave put the former Spack Jarrow through a table with a top rope Bombshell! As Dave celebrated this win, Brian Gobert assured that 2026 will be a fresh start for Montana Malibu.
The PSA World Champion, Johnny Warren, kicked off Ultimate Hour by welcoming his next challenger, Casual Adam, to the ring. Unfortunately, however, Adam wasn’t there; he wasn't sure if Thanksgiving was this week or next week, so he took both shows off just to be safe. This laziness enraged “The Lifeblood,” who promised that Adam would pay for this disrespect at Christmas Calamity. As Warren left the ring, however, he was interrupted by Keith! He is determined to get a rematch for the PSA World Championship, and no one is going to get in his way. This brought out Cali Dynamite, who explained that no matter how many times he’s beaten, he will never stop until his body gives out on him; he wants another showdown with Keith, and he wants it at Christmas Calamity. Eager to put Dynamite behind him, Keith accepted the challenge. Who will walk out on top?
La Biblioteca, who was still tired from her incredible performance in the Women’s Proving Grounds, looked to build some momentum back in her singles match against MC Dera. The newest member of Council of M showed some promise, but it was not enough to stop Biblioteca from securing the win with the Checkout.
After her victory, La Biblioteca met with the rest of The High Five backstage. She told them that she is looking to answer next week’s Roster Roulette Championship Open Challenge, as she feels she is finally ready to become a Champion. Before she could make the match official, however, she was stopped by Wisteria, who has officially joined the PSA Roster as a trainer. She praised Biblioteca for her incredible talent, but she’s missing something: an identity. She is more than just El Gigante’s sister, and Wisteria believes that once she figures it out, there will be nothing stopping her from becoming a Champion. Moved by these comments, Biblioteca asked Wisteria if she’d be willing to mentor her personally. This request was graciously accepted, but it was made clear that this is an intense and devoted process, which likely means we won’t see Biblioteca for an extended period of time. Nevertheless, we can’t wait to see the kind of wrestler La Biblioteca has become when she returns!
Next, we heard a medical update from Mob Boss Brody and Samuel Binglebottom. Brody admitted that he isn’t at 100% yet, but he has been medically cleared to compete, with his PSA Hardcore Championship match being rescheduled for Christmas Calamity. This was great news, but Binglebottom wasn’t satisfied. Not only was there a “mystery attacker” on the loose, but he lost out on winning the Proving Grounds and facing Johnny Warren for the World Title. Luckily, he spoke with Warren and has been given an Ultimate Hour Championship match as a consolation prize, which will also take place at Christmas Calamity. Binglebottom Industries celebrated these opportunities, but it was cut short by P-Money, who passed by on his way to the ring.
Now on his own, P-Money faced off against Montana Malibu. “The Smack Rapper” was still a mess following his firing from Binglebottom Industries, and this allowed Malibu to hit the Santa Monica Sunset for a huge victory. As P-Money stormed out in a fit of rage, Malibu grabbed a microphone. He praised P-Money as a tough opponent, but it was “clear” that Malibu has become the greatest talent on the roster. He dared someone to come face him, and he was shocked to be met by Dave! “The Shellraiser” still has some issues to settle with Undkban after their fight at Proving Grounds, but he never forgot about Malibu’s betrayal earlier this summer. Dave will finally get his match with Montana Malibu next week in a Seven Seas Street Fight!
As P-Money entered the backstage area, he saw Ashes of the Spear having a team meeting. He went up to Goldielox, apologized for not listening to his warnings months ago, and told everyone that he was going to go home for a while and figure out how to be a winner again. In the meeting itself, Hayley was upset that Tara didn’t show up, but Drew Pender clarified that she is currently training to win the PSA Women’s World Championship at Christmas Calamity. Goldielox, who has a match up next, asked for Drew to accompany him to the ring, but “The Shepherd of Fire” said he was also busy training for his Ultimate Hour Championship match against Samuel Binglebottom. “The Gilded Greatness” was annoyed by this response, but he was happy to see J-Mike step up and follow him to the ring instead.
In Goldielox’s match with Gilgadar, J-Mike was a difference-maker. In addition to keeping the Debt Collector safe, he distracted “The Time Wizard” right before he hit the Time Warp. This gave Goldielox just enough time to recover, reverse the move with the Shredder, and secure the victory.
Our Main Event was supposed to start next, but the show was derailed by Undkban, who jumped the guard rail and demanded a showdown with Johnny Warren! Instead of getting the World Champion, however, he was answered by The Lifeblood Initiative’s Ben Richards. He told Undkban that he was never getting his hands on Warren again, and he should go pick a fight with Dave or somebody else if he wants to keep busy. Undkban clarified that he’s not finished with Dave, but his #1 priority is the PSA World Championship. He needs to have another match with Warren, and he knows exactly what he needs to do to get it. Security came down to the ring to escort Undkban out of the arena, but “The Pharaoh” had already escaped through the crowd before they arrived.
With Undkban gone, our Main Event featuring Cirque du Shaam, The Beautiful Boys, The Ladies of Payne, and Council of M could finally commence. Since it was a PSA Tag Team Championship #1 Contendership match, all four teams brought their A-Game. In the end, however, Allen pinned Macho Mars with the Friendship Bracelet to win the match. The Owskis came down to the ring to address their next challengers, but things took a turn for the worse when The Madder Lads appeared and took out both teams! How will this impact the PSA Tag Team Championship match at Christmas Calamity?
Proving Grounds opened with the long-awaited Casket Match between Keith and Cali Dynamite. Keith knew this would be a brutal showdown, which is why he brought a trash can full of kendo sticks, light tubes, crutches, and hockey sticks with him to the ring. Dynamite tried to drive Keith’s head into a nail-covered board with the Boomstick, but it was countered at the last second. Instead, Keith picked his opponent up and slammed him onto the nails with the craziest Shock and Awe the PSA Faithful have ever seen! Dynamite was unresponsive, so Keith threw him in the coffin and closed it shut to earn his place in tonight’s Proving Grounds match.
Next, the Women’s Proving Grounds officially got underway. Montana Malibu opened the match eager to prove that he was better than every single woman on the roster, but he immediately failed in this endeavor when he was eliminated in one move by the second entrant, Mega Marc. The contest was full of incredible surprises, including the returns of Flozelle and Piggina, the debuts of MC Dera, Wisteria, Anna Payne, and Aayla Payne, and the cameos of Destruction and Dominance’s Anakis and Criella. As the contest waged on, however, it became clear that only two women had the ability to win: La Biblioteca and Tara. Biblioteca, having entered at #8, went on to have one of the best performances of her career. She eliminated 6 participants, a new record, and was on track to win the whole thing. That was the case, at least, until Tara entered at the 17th position. Tara had to prove to everyone that she can be PSA Women’s World Champion, and she did so by pinning the exhausted Biblioteca with the Crown of Midnight to become the first two-time winner of the Proving Grounds.
Proving Grounds was put to a halt when it was reported that Mob Boss Brody, who was scheduled to face Bruno Bolousek tonight, was found bloodied and bruised! To make matters worse, Samuel Binglebottom was convinced that P-Money was responsible for the attack and fired him from Binglebottom Industries! Since Binglebottom went with Brody to the hospital, Johnny Warren had to find a suitable replacement in tonight’s Proving Grounds. Dean Cottonsmith tried to step up, but Warren shut the door in his face before he could make his case. Instead, Warren offered the position to Bruno Bolousek, who was enraged that his PSA Hardcore Championship defense had been cancelled. Bolousek had a tense staredown with the Director of PSA, but he agreed to play by Warren’s rules for the time being. Will “The Blood Hunter” win the Men’s Proving Grounds?
The Roster Roulette Championship was on the line between Shoot-Out Sheri and Cruella Castonova. Sheri was determined to become a three-time Champion, but she had to get through “Miss Obsidian” first. She came incredibly close to coming out on top, but Castonova pulled out the win at the last second by countering the Bullseye with a Nova Bomb.
The Madder Lads’ Handrew Frankenstein and Pletch were eager to challenge The Owskis for the PSA Tag Team Championship. The Champions had an early advantage, but things started to change the longer the match went on. Andrew Frankowski started to show tendencies from his days as “The Mad Scientist,” and this worried Josh Grabowski. To stop his best friend from falling to the dark side once again, “The 10,000 Pound Gorilla” locked Handrew in a bear hug and refused to let go until his opponent passed out from exhaustion. Andrew was shocked that they retained the Title in his way, but he was grateful to have a friend as reliable as Josh.
Brittany Blake defended the PSA Women’s World Championship against “The Shepherdess of Fire,” Hayley. These two have faced off multiple times in the past, which made this showdown even more competitive than their last singles match at Finest Hour 2024. Hayley actually had the match won when she reversed the Onyx Storm with the Cross Examination, but she wanted to rub salt in the wound by hitting Blake with a Spear. This arrogance proved to be her downfall, as Blake dodged the spear and hit the Britt-Knee to retain the Gold and keep her undefeated streak against Hayley alive and well.
The 2025 Men’s Proving Grounds was our Main Event of the evening, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Keith was forced to enter at the #1 spot following his victory over Cali Dynamite earlier tonight, but he didn’t let that keep his spirits down. The #2 entrant never showed up, so Johnny Warren sent out Ben Richards instead. Richards ended in 7th place and was eliminated by Drew Pender, but “Mr. Guy” had the greatest run in Proving Grounds history when he made it to the final four! Keith’s incredible performance was unexpected, but fans were anticipating a showdown between Dave and Undkban, who had some tensions heading into the Proving Grounds. The pair never faced off in the ring, but they did have an instense scuffle on the ramp as Dave was leaving and Undkban entered. “The Shellraiser” is rumored to be injured as a result of this brawl, but hopefully he will return soon! There were plenty of other surprises to keep the PSA Faithful satisfied, including Louie Hamstring, Bret Pender (Drew Pender’s father), Skull Gigante (now known as “Hell Gigante”), and the one known as “Spoonman!” The biggest surprise of all, however, was Casual Adam, who was revealed to be the mystery #2 entrant. It turns out he misread his ticket and thought it said #20, so that’s the number he came out at. This “strategy” paid off, as Adam survived El Gigante, Keith, Undkban, and Drew Pender to win the match and earn a date with Johnny Warren at Christmas Calamity!
Before Ultimate Hour could even get started, PSA officials were found pulling apart Keith and Cali Dynamite, who were locked in an intense brawl on the entrance ramp! Both men were escorted out of the arena, but it makes the PSA Faithful wonder: who will win their Casket Match at Proving Grounds?
The show finally continued as scheduled when Pletch took on Trunk in singles competition. Trunk looked impressive in this bout, but Pletch’s viciousness was the difference maker. After defeating his opponent with the Pork Chop, “The Pig” was determined to inflict more damage. Before he could do so, however, he was stopped by The Owskis! Pletch wanted to fight, but Handrew Frankenstein decided it was better for them to save their energy for Proving Grounds. Can The Madder Lads become PSA Tag Team Champions?
Next, Hayley Brittany Blake met for their PSA Women’s World Championship contract signing. Hayley was as determined as ever to become Champion, but Blake reminded her that in all the times they’ve faced one-on-one, Hayley has never come out on top. This made “The Shepherdess of Fire” hesitate, but she acted as if this comment didn’t worry her. Who will leave Proving Grounds PSA Women’s World Champion?
After signing the contract, Hayley passed by Tara, who wrestled against Marcee, Janice Janet, and Marcia in a Proving Grounds preview match. It was a chaotic showdown, but Tara secured the pinfall victory by hitting Marcia with the Crown of Midnight, which was only possible after “La Mueñca Muerta” accidentally knocked out Marcee seconds prior.
As P-Money arrived at the arena, he was stopped by Mob Boss Brody. He told “The Smack Rapper” that he appreciated the PSA Hardcore Championship match against Bruno Bolousek, but he just wanted to know why P-Money didn’t accept the offer in the first place. Frustrated, P-Money warned Brody to stay out of his business, “or else.” Brody responded “or else what?,” but no response was ever given.
Maria Phoenix faced one of the toughest opponents of her career in the form of Mega Marc. “The Titan” lived up to her name like never before, as she lifted Marc on her shoulders and hit an incredible Wicked Inferno to win the match.
Cruella Castonova, accompanied to the ring by her boyfriend, Ben Richards, was here to comment on her upcoming Roster Roulette Championship match with Shoot-Out Sheri. She promised to body Sheri, and even if she managed to find people to fight alongside her, no one would ever be a match for The Lifeblood Initiative.
Cruella Castonova received praise from Johnny Warren when she returned backstage, but he made it clear that he wanted to speak with Ben Richards alone. He told Richards that his constant failures needed to stop, and the place to do so was in the Men’s Proving Grounds. Warren hopes to stand face-to-face against “The Youngblood” at Christmas Calamity, but it’s unknown if this confrontation will actually come to fruition.
The Main Event of Ultimate Hour saw Rasgón, Dave, Casual Adam, and Shawn Westin compete in another Proving Grounds preview match. “The Shellraiser” was on fire, as he put Shawn Westin through the announce table with the Whirlpool. As Dave celebrated, however, he was ambushed by Undkban, who was eager for revenge after losing at Halloween from Hell! The momentum shifted immediately, and Casual Adam took advantage by pinning Rasgón with the Sound Check. Will one of these four men win the Proving Grounds?
The Owskis kicked off Ultimate Hour by responding to The Madder Lads’ plan from last week. They accepted the PSA Tag Team Championship match for Proving Grounds, but they warned that the only people leaving with the Gold would be the current Champions. Handrew and his minions began to launch an attack on The Owskis, but it was thwarted by The High Five, who ran down to the ring to even the odds. Who will leave Proving Grounds as PSA Tag Team Champion?
After saving The Owskis, El Gigante and La Biblioteca faced off against the team of Jeff Jonsun and Cheese Louise. It was a fun matchup, and Biblioteca scored the win for her team with the Checkout. After the match, The High Five made it clear that their next goal is to do whatever it takes to stop The Madder Lads from winning the Proving Grounds.
Backstage, Johnny Warren congratulated J-Mike for entering the Proving Grounds, but he gave him a friendly warning that he’s unlikely to win as a rookie. Before “The Lifeblood” could continue, however, he was interrupted by the Ultimate Hour Champion, Drew Pender. He also wanted to enter the Proving Grounds, especially considering the fact that Ben Richards gets a free entry after losing multiple matches. As the tension between Warren and Pender intensified, the Director of PSA made a compromise: if Pender beats Richards tonight, he has a spot in the Proving Grounds. Who will walk out of our Main Event victorious?
Maria Phoenix continued her rivalry with Council of M when she took on Macho Mars. Mars tried her best, but she was no match for “The Titan” and her Wicked Inferno. As Phoenix celebrated, she was confronted by Mega Marc, who laid out the challenge for a match next week. That showdown is sure to be an all-time classic!
As Shoot-Out Sheri entered the building, she found Hayley and Tara arguing. Hayley, frustrated with her sister once again, told Tara to stay away from her at Proving Grounds so she can remain focused on winning the PSA Women’s World Championship. Tara agreed, clarifying she’ll be too busy winning the Proving Grounds to worry about Hayley anyway. Sheri interrupted both women and called them out for being horrible teammates, but she’s hoping to find some good ones very soon. Could Hayley and Tara face off at Christmas Calamity?
Next, Mob Boss Brody and Bruno Bolousek met for the first time in the ring. Brody appeared confident against the PSA Hardcore Champion, but it was evident that “The Blood Hunter” wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Bolousek thanked Brody for being a worthy opponent, but he vowed his reign would not come to an end at Proving Grounds.
The meeting between Mob Boss Brody and Bruno Bolousek was cut short by P-Money, who was here for a Proving Grounds Qualifier versus Undkban. “The Smack Rapper’s” lack of focus continued here, and “The Pharaoh” defeated P-Money easily with the Sands of Time.
Cali Dynamite arrived to speak on the potential of a Casket Match at Proving Grounds. To put it simply, Dynamite doesn’t just want to hurt Keith; he wants to take everything from him, including his chance at winning the Proving Grounds. If they have to face in a Casket Match in order for him to get that opportunity, then Dynamite eagerly accepts. Can “Mr. Guy” emerge victorious once again?
In our Main Event, Ashes of the Spear’s Drew Pender faced The Lifeblood Initiative’s Ben Richards. “The Youngblood” continued to prove how talented he is by taking another one of PSA’s best to the limit, but it was clear that he still hadn’t fully recovered from his match with Bruno Bolousek at Halloween from Hell. Pender took full advantage of this by targeting the head the entire contest, and “The Shepherd of Fire” secured his place in the Proving Grounds by pinning Richards with the What Goes Up Must Come Down.
Following their shocking debut at Halloween from Hell, The Madder Lads were here to outline their master plan. Handrew Frankenstein explained that his goal is to take everything from his father, Andrew, and the best way to do that is for him and Pletch to capture the PSA Tag Team Championship at Proving Grounds. Additionally, Ramona Spectre and Shell Gigante officially declared for the Proving Grounds matches, with the hope that all members of The Madder Lads will eventually hold Championship Gold. It’s a solid plan, but how much of it will actually come to fruition?
Due to their trios victory, Dave, Allen, and Sir Alex Westworthy have all gained entry into this year’s Proving Grounds. Draco and Drov wanted an opportunity for revenge, however, which prompted a tag team match against Cirque du Shaam. In the contest itself, Allen and Westworthy used their speed to outmaneuver The Disciples; this strategy allowed Cirque du Shaam to hit Draco with the Critical Roll and pick up the win.
Backstage, Council of M passed by Montana Malibu, who had an interesting idea. He noted that they have both had issues with Maria Phoenix recently, and since his name starts with “M,” he’s the perfect person to join Council of M! Hearing this, Marcee simply laughed at him before walking away. This interaction was publicly humiliating, which brought over the recently-fired Brian Gobert. The two men agreed to join forces, and Malibu vowed to enter the Women’s Proving Grounds and show the world just how good he truly is.
Hernando Muertes looked to recover from his loss to Johnny Warren in a Proving Grounds Qualifier against Mark Cooper Jr. The two had a competitive matchup, but “The Ace of the Damned” walked out on top after hitting MCII with Graveyard Overdrive.
As P-Money arrived at the arena, he was met by Mob Boss Brody and Samuel Binglebottom. Brody explained that he knows the two of them haven’t gotten along, but he got P-Money a rematch with Bruno Bolousek for the PSA Hardcore Championship. Smelling a trap, “The Smack Rapper” declined the offer, claiming that he’d rather earn Title opportunities on his own. Brody then offered the match to Binglebottom, but he also declined, as he has a Proving Grounds Qualifier up next. As a reward for his efforts, however, Samuel told Mob Boss Brody to accept the match himself. Can Mob Boss Brody take down “The Blood Hunter?”
Our next Proving Grounds Qualifier saw Samuel Binglebottom take on Dean Cottonsmith. To no one’s surprise, Binglebottom’s superior technical ability allowed him to take out Dean Cottonsmith with the Bottom Feeder.
“Mr. Guy,” Keith, was here to speak to The Faithful. He told the crowd that he needs to win the Proving Grounds to get another shot at Johnny Warren, but he was informed that the only way he can enter the match is if he beats Cali Dynamite earlier in the night. Keith is confident he can do this, but he doesn’t just want to beat Dynamite; he wants to teach him a lesson. Instead of a standard match, Keith wants Cali Dynamite a Casket Match! Will this challenge be accepted?
In our Main Event, Hayley, Tara, and Shoot-Out Sheri took on Brittany Blake, Cruella Castonova, and Low-Key Eve. Eve wanted a more substantial reward than what she got the last time she helped The Lifeblood Initiative, so she was promised a “good spot” in the Proving Grounds as a result. In this trios showdown, Hayley and Tara continued to bicker with one another, which nearly cost them the match. Luckily, Sheri was on another level tonight, and she got the win for her team by pinning Eve with the Bullseye. Can she do the same to Cruella Castonova at Proving Grounds and become a three-time Roster Roulette Champion?
PSA’s monumental 1000th match opened Halloween from Hell when Hernando Muertes and Johnny Warren fought for the PSA World Championship. “The Ace of the Damned” proved his value as a Main Event player when he came incredibly close to winning, but Warren managed to kick out of Graveyard Overdrive, hit Muertes with the Deathwish, and retain the Title.
As Warren left the ring a Champion, he passed Ben Richards, who was eager to take Bruno Bolousek’s PSA Hardcore Championship inside Hunter’s Haven. “The Youngblood” truly brought his A-Game in this contest, and it paid off when he was the first man to make Bolousek bleed since his reign began. Unfortunately, it was not enough to capture the Gold, as Bruno slammed the bloody Richards with the Bolousek Bomb and tapped him out with the Mark of the Allmother.
When Cirque du Shaam came down to the ring for their trios match against The Disciples, it was unknown who would be revealed as their partner. To everyone’s delight, it was “The Shellraiser,” Dave, who returned to PSA after five months away! He looked stronger than ever, and amidst the chaotic brawl between the rest of the competitors, Dave dove off the top rope with the Whirlpool onto Undkban to secure the win.
Keith knew Cali Dynamite would be in the building tonight, so it was only a matter of time before an all-out brawl took place! There was no clear winner in this vicious scuffle, but there is bound to be another showdown between these two very soon.
The rivalry between Ashes of the Spear and the Jonsun Culinary Academy was taken to the next level when J-Mike faced off against Jeff “The Chef” Jonsun. Jonsun’s veteran instincts gave him a huge boost in this contest, but the unpredictability of J-Mike allowed the newcomer to hit the Mike Drop and get a huge victory over the PSA veteran.
Ashes of the Spear’s Hayley and Tara were ready for their Hellish Street Fight against The Lifeblood Initiative’s Brittany Blake and Cruella Castonova. With Shoot-Out Sheri serving as the referee, however, they were unsure how the match would play out. Sheri showed favoritism towards both sides throughout the match, but she ultimately made her decision clear. After Hayley allowed Tara to be taken out by the Nova Bomb, Sheri hit Castonova with the Bullseye and counted Hayley’s pin on Blake. As a result, Hayley will challenge for the PSA Women’s World Championship, Shoot-Out Sheri will get another shot at the Roster Roulette Title, and Tara is left with nothing.
Before Drew Pender made his entrance for The Adam Special, he demanded that Goldielox accompany him to the ring. “The Gilded Greatness” didn’t seem enthused by this idea, but he agreed to watch the Ultimate Hour Championship defense at ringside. Once the bell rang, Goldielox was tasked with littering the ring with weapons, which were used by both competitors to great effect. When Adam gained the upper hand with stairs in hand, Pender made Goldielox get in the ring and take the hit instead. This plan was the difference maker, as “The Shepherd of Fire” used Goldielox’s sacrifice to climb the middle rope and hit a Super Spear on Casual Adam to retain the Title.
Halloween from Hell’s Main Event saw The High Five’s Maximilien Plouffe and Trunk challenge The Owskis for the PSA Tag Team Championship. Either team could have walked out with the Gold, but the Champions prevailed when Josh Grabowski lifted Plouffe onto the top rope and hit him with the 1 Million Pound Gorilla. Both teams shook hands after the contest, but they were interrupted by the return of Handrew Frankenstein! He, along with Pletch and the debuting Shell Gigante and Ramona Spectre, decimated The High Five and The Owskis. “The Madder Lads” are here, and they’re poised to take control of PSA!
Johnny Warren and Hernando Muertes met for a PSA World Championship Contract Signing. Muertes began by pushing back against “The Lifeblood’s” claims that he’s a completely different person. “The Ace of the Damned” built his career on fighting against evil, and he will do the same thing at Halloween from Hell when he faces Johnny Warren. The Director of PSA admitted that he doesn’t think Muertes is ready to be PSA World Champion, but when they collide in PSA’s 1000th match, Warren dares him to prove him wrong. As the two signed the contract, Keith came out on stage. He wanted a match with Cali Dynamite, and he wanted it at Halloween from Hell! Warren said the card is too full to add another match, but he did share that Dynamite will be in the arena at Halloween from Hell, and he looks forward to seeing Keith at the event.
Shawn Westin and Dean Cottonsmith have been a thorn in Johnny Warren’s side for months, so JX2 saw it fit to teach them a lesson in a tag team match. Westin and Cottonsmith had impressive chemistry, but it was no match for the lifelong best friends. Jindrak pinned Cottonsmith following the Critical Mass, but it’s clear that the antics from “The PSA Outcasts” are far from over.
Cirque du Shaam is set to face The Disciples at Halloween from Hell in trios action, but it is unclear who their partner will be. They asked Trunk, a former member of Cirque du Shaam, to help them out, but he politely declined because he is busy trying to capture the PSA Tag Team Championship with Maximilien Plouffe. As Allen and Westworthy continued their hunt for a trios partner, The Owskis came over to chat with The High Five. They praised their performance in their teamup last week, and they wished them the best of luck at Halloween from Hell. Who will leave the PSA Tag Team Champions?
Maria Phoenix looked to continue her momentum against “La Mueñca Muerta,” Marcia. This was significantly more competitive than her match with Montana Malibu, but Phoenix still picked up the win with the Wicked Inferno. This result caused a bit of a stir with Council of M, so we will see if this causes any conflicts in the future.
Binglebottom Industries met for a team meeting backstage. Binglebottom put Mob Boss Brody in charge, and he proceeded to reprimand P-Money for failing to meet expectations time and time again. P-Money refused to listen to this, so he stormed out of the meeting and went down to the ring. He called out anyone for a fight, and the PSA Hardcore Champion, Bruno Bolousek, answered the call. Mob Boss Brody tried to serve as P-Money’s advisor, but he got shoved away, as “The Smack Rapper” demanded to wrestle this match on his own.
P-Money did everything he could to beat Bruno Bolousek, but it was never enough to take him down. As P-Money went for a Super Dropkick from Downtown, “The Blood Hunter” caught him midair and hit him with a Bolousek Bomb on the corner turnbuckle to emerge victorious. Ben Richards thought about sneak attacking Bolousek during his celebration, but he decided to save his energy for Halloween from Hell. Can “The Youngblood” capture the PSA Hardcore Championship?
Ashes of the Spear’s Hayley and Tara spoke about their upcoming Hellish Street Fight with The Lifeblood Initiative. They called Brittany Blake and Cruella Castonova cowards, and they will prove it when they beat them at Halloween from Hell. To their surprise however, Shoot-Out Sheri came out on stage. She revealed that Johnny Warren has officially made her the referee for this match, and she will be rewarded for her efforts accordingly. If The Lifeblood Initiative win, she will earn the #20 spot in the Women’s Proving Grounds. If Hayley and Tara manage to win, only the sister who gets the pin will get a Title match, with Sheri receiving the other. This added stipulation caused Hayley and Tara to start bickering, but it was stopped by the rest of Ashes of the Spear, who were here to face the Jonsun Culinary Academy in tonight’s Main Event.
Ashes of the Spear vs the Jonsun Culinary Academy was a fun and chaotic trios matchup. Casual Adam appeared to distract Drew, which took his attention away from Brock Lee. Lee hit Pender with the Health Kick and was poised to win the match, but Goldielox had secretly tagged out Drew as he collapsed to the ground. “The Gilded Greatness” jumped in the ring and hit his opponent with a brutal Shredder to clutch the victory, and Goldielox then slipped away through the crowd as a brawl between the JCA, Casual Adam, and the rest of Ashes of the Spear closed the show.
Ultimate Hour began with Cali Dynamite, who explained his attack on Keith last week. Dynamite noted that he doesn’t care who wins or loses; all he cares about is killing Keith. No matter how long it takes, he will not stop until one of them is forced to stop. Before Dynamite could elaborate any further, however, he was interrupted by Shawn Westin. He told the PSA Faithful that even though he lost in Contendership Carnage a couple of weeks ago, he is still committed to capturing the PSA World Championship. The best way to do that, evidently, is to take down a member of The Lifeblood Initiative. Westin challenged Dynamite to a match right now, and to everyone’s surprise, he actually accepted!
Cali Dynamite and Shawn Westin had a highly competitive matchup. As Dynamite gained the upper hand and readied for the Boomstick, however, Keith walked down to the ring. This distraction helped Westin immensely, who rolled up his opponent for a surprise victory!
As Keith escaped through the crowd and exited the arena, he bumped into Hernando Muertes. “The Ace of the Damned” commended Keith for standing up to The Lifeblood Initiative, and he told him he’s always available for backup if he needs it. “Mr. Guy” appreciated the offer, but he wants to settle business on his own for right now, which Muertes respected.
Before Brittany Blake went out to the ring for her match against Tara, she ran into Low-Key Eve. The PSA Women’s World Champion begged Eve to take her place, and she promised to give her a handsome reward in return. When Eve learned that the reward in question was a $20 bill, she hastily made her way to the ring.
Tara may have prepared for a match against Brittany Blake, but she had no issue facing Low-Key Eve instead. Eve attempted to hit the Low-Key Knee, but Tara dodged it and ended the match with Crown of Midnight.
Allen was excited for his matchup against Undkban, but The Disciples had other plans. They hit Allen with Bring the Afterlife, beat down Sir Alex Westworthy when he tried to make the save, and used the numbers advantage to hold down their opponents while Undkban hit back-to-back Ankhasaults. Although this match never took place, it was announced that The Disciples will face Ciruque du Shaam at Halloween from Hell! Can Allen and Westworthy find a trios partner?
Ben Richards happily greeted Johnny Warren as he passed by, but it was clear that the Director of PSA wasn’t in a good mood. He scolded “The Youngblood” for losing his match with Hernando Muertes last week, especially after he hypocritically called him a habitual failure. However, Warren knows that Richards has unlimited potential, which is why he has named him as the next challenger for Bruno Bolousek’s PSA Hardcore Championship. Warren not only demands excellence from Ben Richards; he expects it. Can “The Lifeblood’s” protégé live up to the hype?
Before the Main Event, Casual Adam came out on stage to discuss his upcoming Ultimate Hour Championship match with Drew Pender. He revealed that he spoke with Johnny Warren and finally got his dream stipulation approved: The Adam Special. In this no disqualification match, the only weapons that will be available are stairs and guitars. Who will leave Halloween from Hell the Ultimate Hour Champion?
Following their interaction last week, The Owskis and The High Five teamed up against Binglebottom Industries in our Main Event. Mob Boss Brody accompanied his Alliance at ringside, and he proved to be a huge asset to his team. That was the case, at least, until an argument between Brody and P-Money took place. This distraction gave Trunk time to recover, who hit P with the Primal Strike to emerge victorious.
The PSA Tag Team Champions, The Owskis, came down to the ring to formally introduce themselves to their next challengers. The High Five were eager to compete for the Title after winning this year’s PSA Tag Team Classic, but they were still respectful and friendly to the Champions. Unsurprisingly, Binglebottom Industries came out on stage and had their own issues to settle with The High Five, as they thought they should be the ones facing The Owskis at Halloween from Hell. To teach them a lesson, Binglebottom challenged the four men in the ring to a quads match next week, which they eagerly accepted!
Ultimate Hour continued on with a singles match between Keith and Dalton Pepper. It was a competitive encounter, but in the end “Mr. Guy” pulled off the win when he hit Pepper with the Shock and Awe. As Keith left the ring, however, he was ambushed once again by Cali Dynamite! Will these two square off again in the future?
As the Jonsun Culinary Academy comforted Dalton Pepper after his loss to Keith, Ashes of the Spear’s Drew Pender, J-Mike, and Goldielox passed by. Pender made fun of the JCA for being a band of losers, especially Jeff Jonsun since he has never even gotten a World Title match before. J-Mike added they should be grateful they’re not as big of a loser as Casual Adam, though, as he’s about to get squashed in tonight’s Main Event by “The Shepherd of Fire.” Will this prediction come to fruition?
Next, Maria Phoenix stepped in the ring with Montana Malibu. Malibu talked a big game last week, but it all fell apart when Phoenix pinned him in under 20 seconds with the Wicked Inferno.
Since the previous match went way shorter than what was expected, Allen was sent down to the ring to fill some time. He started rambling to the PSA Faithful about dragons, but he was quickly interrupted by Undkban. “The Pharaoh” mentioned that they have crossed paths several times in D&D Wrestling, but that wasn’t why he was here. Instead, he declared that he has the refocused goal of becoming PSA World Champion once again. Allen was clearly not paying attention to this monologue, so Undkban beat him down to teach him a lesson. To the surprise of everyone, Allen was saved by Sir Alex Westworthy, a fellow member of the most legendary alliance in all of Destruction and Dominance, Cirque du Shaam! How will The Disciples respond to this disrespect?
Due to their brief verbal altercation last week, Hernando Muertes and Ben Richards met in singles action. “The Youngblood” called Muertes a habitual failure last week, but tonight he proved why he is the #1 Contender to the PSA World Championship. After stunning Richards with the Scythe of Salvation, “The Ace of the Damned” sealed his opponent’s fate with Graveyard Overdrive.
The PSA Hardcore Champion, Bruno Bolousek, was interviewed backstage. He hopes his next challenger is worth his time, because if not he will live up to his moniker of “The Blood Hunter” and to send them home to their family in a body bag. Who will step up next?
The PSA Women’s Champions, Brittany Blake and Cruella Castonova, were here to boast about their recent Title defenses against Marcee and Janice Janet. They praised each other’s ability to “dominate” their opponents with ease, and they claimed that there was no one on the roster who could even come close to their talent. These comments brought out Hayley and Tara, who reminded the women that not only have they both been Champions in their own right, but they beat the two earlier this year at Tidal Wave. Blake and Castonova wasted no time in starting a brawl with the women, and when officials pulled them apart it was revealed that the two teams will face off at Halloween from Hell in a Hellish Street Fight!
Casual Adam made it clear last week that he wants a shot at the Ultimate Hour Championship, but to get one he must defeat Drew Pender in our Main Event tonight. Drew was in control of the match early on, mostly due to the aid of J-Mike and Goldielox at ringside. Luckily for Adam, however, the Jonsun Culinary Academy arrived to get some payback on Ashes of the Spear for their comments earlier tonight. Amidst the chaos, Adam hit Pender with the Sound Check and rolled him up to get a surprising win over the Ultimate Hour Champion!
After his surprise attack last week, Cali Dynamite stepped in the ring with Keith to open the Anniversary Edition of Ultimate Hour. Dynamite was absolutely brutal, to the point where Keith struggled to see because his face was covered in blood. “Mr. Guy” powered through the pain, however, and he hit his opponent with the Shock and Awe to eke out the victory. As Keith celebrated this achievement, it was clear that Dynamite wasn’t happy with the way this match ended; will he seek revenge in the future?
The High Five, Ashes of the Spear, Binglebottom Industries, and The Beautiful Boys fought in this year’s PSA Tag Team Classic 4 Way Finale. The first elimination in this chaotic contest went to Hayley, who took out Maximilien Plouffe with a Spear. P-Money continued this trend by taking out Cameron Curtis with the Dropkick from Downtown. Hayley and Tara proved to be a hazardous force when they took out Richard Hale and Mob Boss Brody respectively, so Trunk and P-Money teamed up to keep things competitive. Trunk managed to take out Hayley with a running headbutt called the Wrath of Nature, and P-Money rolled-up Tara to narrow it down to two final competitors. It could’ve gone either way, but Trunk hit a second Wrath of Nature and the Flying Bear on P-Money to earn The High Five a PSA Tag Team Championship match against The Owskis at Halloween from Hell!
The High Five were on top of the world following their PSA Tag Team Classic victory, but their celebration was cut short by the appearance of Montana Malibu. He told the PSA Faithful that his loss to Shoot-Out Sheri was a fluke, and he even dared someone to come face him right now so he could prove that he is the best wrestler in the company. To his surprise, this challenge was accepted by “The Titan,” Maria Phoenix. She was ready for a match right now, but it was obvious that Malibu didn’t expect anyone to come out here and face him directly. He claimed that tonight was too action-packed to fit in another match, but he will gladly step in the ring with Phoenix on next week’s episode of Ultimate Hour. Who will win?
As Maria Phoenix made her way back up the ramp, she passed Marcee, who challenged Brittany Blake for the PSA Women’s World Championship next. These two have a long-standing rivalry, and this chapter was just as thrilling as ever. Marcee gave it her all, but Blake proved herself as the rightful Champion when she defeated her opponent with the Onyx Storm.
Johnny Warren, along with Ben Richards, came down to the ring to confront Hernando Muertes, who will be the next challenger to the PSA World Championship. He started by commending Muertes for doing exactly what “The Lifeblood” wants people to do: he reinvented himself. “The Ace of the Damned” is a completely different person compared to his first run in PSA, and that is exactly why Johnny Warren brought him back. He told Muertes that he isn’t quite ready to be World Champion yet, but Warren is happy to give him this kind of spotlight on one of the biggest events of the year. Muertes admitted that he struggled for a long time with his identity, but now that he has found his true self, he is eager to become a Champion by defeating one of the greatest talents in PSA history. Richards mocked the #1 Contender for being a habitual failure, so Muertes simply challenged him to a match to prove it. “The Youngblood” didn’t seem interested in this proposal, but Warren was intrigued and made the match official for next week!
The Main Event of Ultimate Hour Anniversary Edition saw Goldielox, J-Mike, and Drew Pender compete for the Ultimate Hour Championship. This was a highly competitive showdown, with all three men having their pin attempts broken by another. The biggest victim of this was Goldielox, who had the match won several times before it was stopped by one of the other wrestlers. In the end, Drew Pender managed to retain the Title when he threw “The Gilded Greatness” out of the ring and got the pinfall on an incapacitated J-Mike instead. During Pender’s celebration, the screen on stage changed to reveal the return of Casual Adam, who made it clear that he wants a shot at the Ultimate Hour Championship! No one knows how this match will affect the morale of Ashes of the Spear, but for now they have a new target in the form of Drew’s “old friend.”
We kicked off Ultimate Hour with The Owskis’ first PSA Tag Team Championship defense against VolTYSON. Both teams are deservedly at the top of this division, but in the end Andrew pinned Voltand with the Owskinator to retain the Title.
As The Owskis were celebrating their status as “real” Champions, they were joined by the four teams that could face them next in a PSA Tag Team Classic Summit. Ashes of the Spear are confident they will walk out on top, while The Beautiful Boys claim they are the sleeper picks. The High Five are eager to earn a Tag Team Championship match, but this was overshadowed by the constant bickering between P-Money and Mob Boss Brody, who are hoping they can put this aside during next week’s 4 Way Finale. Who will win the PSA Tag Team Classic?
Cruella Castonova defended the Roster Roulette Championship against Janice Janet in an Iron Woman match. Janet was bold to issue this challenge after being injured by Castonova only 2 months ago, but it was clear that she wasn’t ready to return to in-ring action yet. After retaining the Title 2-0 with consecutive Obsidian Furies, the Champion put Janet through the announce table with the Nova Bomb to make it clear to the rest of the locker room that she means business.
Next, Marcee spoke about her upcoming PSA Women’s World Championship match with Brittany Blake. She started by admitting that she hasn’t been viewed as a Main Event-Level star in recent years, and part of that is her fault for taking a back seat. However, she was the inaugural PSA Women’s World Champion, and next week on the Anniversary Edition of Ultimate Hour, she’s going to prove that she’s just as talented as ever when she beats Blake and becomes Champion once again! Can Marcee pull it off?
Before Drew Pender defends the Ultimate Hour Championship against J-Mike and Goldielox next week, he teamed up with them to take on Binglebottom Industries’ Lochlan, Mark Cooper Jr., and The Great Rapsby. The new trio had incredible chemistry, and Goldielox got the win for his team by pinning Rapsby with the Midas Touch. Goldielox, Pender, and J-Mike were all on the same page tonight, but how will they act when they fight for the UH Title?
The PSA Faithful were thrilled to see Keith, who hasn’t been seen since he lost the PSA World Championship at Ground Zero IV. “Mr. Guy” thanked the fans for not forgetting about him, and he revealed that he actually considered stepping away from PSA after losing to Johnny Warren. However, not only would he be letting himself down, but he’d be letting down his best friend, Leonard Lopez, who did not deserve to be fired. Keith’s out for vengeance, and he’s going to get it when he takes out all of The Lifeblood Initiative and gets the PSA World Championship back on someone the people love! The PSA Faithful cheered, but this quickly turned to boos when Cali Dynamite ran in from the crowd for a surprise ambush. Dynamite warned Keith that declaring war on The Lifeblood Initiative was a huge mistake, and he’s going to prove it next week.
Jeff Jonsun, Hernando Muertes, Rasgón, Shawn Westin fought in Contendership Carnage, with the winner facing Johnny Warren at Halloween from Hell for the PSA World Championship. Westin started off hot when he eliminated Rasgón with the Breakaway at ringside, and Muertes continued this momentum when he took out Jonsun with the Scythe of Salvation. With only two men remaining, “The Ace of the Damned” earned his date with destiny when he pinned Westin following a Super Graveyard Overdrive. When Hernando Muertes and Johnny Warren meet in the ring next week, what will the Director of PSA say to his next challenger?
To celebrate their multiple victories at Ground Zero IV, The Lifeblood Initiative came out to open Ground Zero IV. Johnny Warren noted that what he did to Doctor Phase at Fallout was a necessity, as the past must die in order for the future to flourish. As such, his next challenger will be determined in a Contendership Carnage match. The first two participants will be Hernando Muertes and Rasgón, who both made a name for themselves at Ground Zero IV. Before Warren could reveal the next entrant, he was interrupted by Shawn Westin, Dean Cottonsmith, and Janice Janet. Westin pointed out that since he beat Ben Richards at Ground Zero IV, he is more than deserving of a spot in Contendership Carnage. Not only that, but since Cruella Castonova took out Janice Janet a few weeks ago, she wants her vengeance next week in a match for the Roster Roulette Championship. Warren reluctantly gave Westin and Janet what they wanted, but not before announcing that Richards will get another chance to enter Contendership Carnage when he faces Jeff “The Chef” Jonsun later tonight. As The Lifeblood Initiative wrapped up in the ring, they were interrupted by Marcee, who told Brittany Blake that it’s been years since they’ve wrestled one-on-one, but there’s no better time to run it back than the Anniversary Edition of Ultimate Hour for the PSA Women’s World Championship. Blake agreed, but right now she steps in the ring with Council of M’s Macho Mars!
In the match between Brittany Blake and Macho Mars, “The Gold Mine” proved why she is the Champion when she defeated her opponent with a single Onyx Storm. Will Marcee suffer the same fate, or will we see a new PSA Women’s World Champion?
After squashing Montana Malibu at Fallout, the PSA Faithful were eager to learn what is next for Shoot-Out Sheri. She doesn’t know what the future holds just yet, but she did say that she is on the hunt for a new posse. Who will Shoot-Out Sheri align herself with?
Now that he is officially a member of both the PSA Roster and Ashes of the Spear, J-Mike faced off with Binglebottom Industries’ Lochlan. The two had a competitive matchup, but Drew Pender’s presence at ringside was the boost J-Mike needed to get the win. After the match, Goldielox came down to the ring demanding a reason for their help at Fallout. Drew Pender explained that he has wanted to expand Ashes of the Spear for a while, and Goldielox and J-Mike were the two names at the top of his list. He talked about this with Goldielox a couple months ago, but helping him out last week was an easy way to bring the conversation back up. Goldielox wasn’t convinced, arguing that Drew’s only doing this to protect his Ultimate Hour Championship from the Debt Collector. “The Shepherd of Fire” promised that’s not the case, and to prove it he offered Goldielox a shot at the UH Title if he joined Ashes of the Spear right now. The allure of the Championship was enough to get “The Gilded Greatness” to accept, but J-Mike reminded Drew that he joined Ashes of the Spear out of mutual respect; does he get a Title shot as well? Looking to keep the peace, Drew Pender frantically announced that he will defend against both Goldielox and J-Mike at Ultimate Hour Anniversary Edition!
Jeff Jonsun and Ben Richards competed for the final spot in next week’s Contendership Carnage. “The Youngblood” was confident that he would leave on top, so he decided to mess around with his opponent for the majority of the match. As Richards got serious and went for the Bloodshed, however, Jonsun reversed it into the Flapjack to pick up a shock win! As Richards stomped out in a fit of anger, Jonsun set his sights to next week; can “The Chef” earn a shot at the PSA World Championship?
Next, the PSA Faithful welcomed the new PSA Tag Team Champions, The Owskis! Andrew was thankful for the warm welcome, but it was clear that something was bothering Josh. Grabowski explained that although he is happy to be a Champion, he won’t feel like one until they successfully defend the Title in a true tag team match. This statement brought out the former PSA Tag Team Champions, VolTYSON. They were upset that they didn’t get a chance to win the PSA Tag Team Classic two years in a row, so they went straight to the source and demanded a shot at the Title. Eager to prove themselves, The Owskis agreed to defend the Gold next week!
In our Main Event, Binglebottom Industries and The Disciples fought for the final spot in this year’s 4 Way Finale. Samuel Binglebottom forced P-Money and Mob Boss Brody to compete in the tournament together, and it seemed to pay off here. After taking out Drov with the Dropkick from Downtown, P-Money and Brody hit the Money Maker on Draco to win the match. Will Binglebottom Industries win the PSA Tag Team Classic?
The first event of Season 13 kicked off with a match between Maria Phoenix and La Biblioteca. Both women desperately wanted this win, and that was evident in their competitive contest. Biblioteca’s resilience helped her kick out of a Super Wicked Inferno, but Phoenix simply picked her back up and hit another one to get a victory over a tough opponent.
The High Five’s Maximilien Plouffe and Trunk continued their rivalry with Council of M when they faced Macho Mars and Mega Marc in a PSA Tag Team Classic Opener. This match was intense, but in the end Plouffe pinned Marc after landing the High Striker to advance his team to the 4 Way Finale.
After losing to Bruno Bolousek earlier this summer, Sir Alex Westworthy wanted to prove himself inside the Hunter’s Haven and walk out PSA Hardcore Champion. Westworthy did significantly better in this showdown than he did in their first match, but that was not enough to stop “The Blood Hunter” from giving the challenger a crimson mask and tapping him out with the Mark of the AllMother to retain the Gold.
Goldielox and Samuel Binglebottom duked it out in a rematch, and this time it was in Last Man Standing! All weapons were fair game, and both men used them to their advantage. As Goldielox climbed the top rope, Binglebottom grabbed a steel chair to throw at his opponent. “The Gilded Greatness” was quicker than he expected, however, and Goldielox hit the Midas Touch from the Top Rope into the chair to knock out S.O.B. for the count of 10. As Goldielox celebrated, Binglebottom woke up and attacked him from behind before summoning backup in the form of P-Money and Mob Boss Brody. As the trio beat down Goldielox, they were shocked to see J-Mike, now adorned in Ashes of the Spear’s black and red, appear on the ramp to make the save! Binglebottom got the upper hand, but they were soon joined in the ring by “The Shepherd of Fire,” Drew Pender. Pender made quick work of S.O.B., and then he had an uneasy staredown with Goldielox before heading back up the ramp. Why did Ashes of the Spear save Goldielox?
As Drew Pender and J-Mike left up the ramp, Hayley and Tara came out to face the Jonsun Culinary Academy’s Dalton Pepper and Cheese Louise in another PSA Tag Team Classic Opener. Tara put most of the work in for her team, but Hayley tagged her out at the last second and pinned Pepper with one Spear to get the win. Although Tara was frustrated with her sister, she was happy to earn a place in this year’s 4 Way Finale, which will take place on the Anniversary Edition of Ultimate Hour.
Shoot-Out Sheri and Montana Malibu’s long-awaited Street Fight took place next. Malibu acted all tough in the leadup to this showdown, but as soon as the bell rang, it was clear that he was completely outmatched. Sheri threw him around the ring with ease, and all it took was one Bullseye to get the win over her former lover.
After being blindsided with the Heck in a Seck stipulation at Ground Zero IV, The Owskis convinced Johnny Warren to give them another shot at the PSA Tag Team Championship. However, Warren made it clear that if they failed again, they would be banned from challenging for the Title for an entire year. The stakes were palpable, but The Owskis were ready to take down the Champions. To their surprise, however, only Casual Adam came down for this Title defense. Apparently Corwin never bothered to show up, so Adam had to fight against the challengers on his own. Andrew Frankowski didn’t like taking advantage of this scenario, but he knew that he couldn’t hold back if he wanted to become PSA Tag Team Champions with his best friend. Adam went for the Sound Check on “The Don of PSA,” but Andrew reversed it into a Sandbag and the Run-On Rundown to win the Title! Josh Grabowski was disgusted by this win, to the point that he refused to touch the Championship belt. We will hear more from the new PSA Tag Team Champions on next week’s episode of Ultimate Hour.
To celebrate the 4 year anniversary of PSA, Johnny Warren came down to the ring for a PSA World Championship Open Challenge. He had no idea who he would be facing, and this was evident when the PSA legend, Doctor Phase, answered the challenge! The PSA Faithful were ecstatic to see Phase again, but it was clear that Warren was upset that a member of the current roster wasn’t facing him instead. Doctor Phase looked impressive for not having wrestled in over 2 years, but he was no match for “The Lifeblood.” After giving the veteran a respectable performance, the Champion hit Phase with a Warhammer and a new move, called the Deathwish, to retain the PSA World Title. After the match, Warren’s frustrations finally got the better of him. He clubbed Doctor Phase in the head with the Championship, which caused him to start bleeding. The Director of PSA then hit Phase with a Warhammer to the back of the head and two more Deathwishes. Warren was ready to leave after this assault, but Doctor Phase made the biggest mistake of his life: he got back up. In a fit of blind rage, Warren ran back into the blood-soaked ring, hit the Deathwish on top of the top turnbuckle, and then hit his target with the Shatterpoint to finally put an end to the execution of Doctor Phase.
