The Lifeblood Initiative opened this week’s edition of Ultimate Hour to discuss their upcoming matches at Finest Hour.  First, Ben Richards and Cali Dynamite vowed to embarrass The Owskis in their highly-anticipated Street Fight.  Next, Cruella Castonova was eager to hurt Ramona in every conceivable way in After Hours Anarchy.  In addition to JX2’s claim that they were still on the hunt for the PSA Tag Team Championship, Johnny Warren was confident he would leave Finest Hour as PSA World Champion.  Finally, Warren stated that the best part of the night will be when Brittany Blake reclaims the PSA Women’s World Championship.  To help prepare for that showdown, Blake came out to wrestle Macho Mars right now!

In the match between Brittany Blake and Macho Mars, “The Gold Mine” made quick work of her opponent by connecting with the Onyx Storm.  Can Blake do the same at Finest Hour and become a four-time Champion?

As The Lifeblood Initiative entered the backstage area in high spirits, Johnny Warren was pulled aside by Corwin.  He told “The Lifeblood” that he needs a plan to take care of Keith, especially when he can’t trust the rest of his Alliance to get the job done.  After thinking about it for a second, Warren confirmed that he had a plan, but he couldn’t discuss it with cameras watching.  The two men stepped into his office, leaving the rest of their conversation a mystery…

After firing Lochlan and The Great Rapsby last week, Samuel Binglebottom and Mob Boss Brody faced them in tag team action tonight.  This wasn’t much of a fight, as S.O.B. systematically dismantled both of his former associates thanks to his in-ring acumen and Brody’s cunning strategy.  After the match, Binglebottom grabbed a microphone and announced that with this “dead weight” taken care of, he and Mob Boss Brody are going to run this industry.  In fact, from here on out they will simply be known as “The Industry” to make it easy for the braindead PSA Faithful to follow.  Before they left, Binglebottom demanded a match with The Coopers next week; will they accept?

Backstage, Casual Adam was distraught.  He confirmed that he will call out Spoonman one final time next week, but this will be the last time he wastes another second thinking about that coward.  To add another incentive, Adam offered Spoonman the ability to pick whatever stipulation his heart desires.  Will Spoonman finally return next week?

Prior to his PSA Hardcore Championship match with Bruno Bolousek, Trunk wanted to face a previous challenger in the form of Brock Lee.  Trunk actually had a counter to much of Lee’s offense, and this resulted in a victory for the young star.  After the match, Trunk spoke to the PSA Faithful.  He admitted that he was petrified to step in the ring with “The Blood Hunter,” but Elder Wisteria convinced him to do it anyway.  He’s had his back against the wall before, but he didn’t stop growing; why would now be any different?  As he finished his speech, Trunk shared the mindset that Wisteria has instilled in him: “I’ve gotta be sure, it's gotta be soon, and I’ve gotta be larger than life!” 

To send a final warning to Dave, Undkban faced Rasgón in singles competition.  The two had a very intense encounter, but “The Pharaoh” used his experience to reverse the Ledger Shredder into a Sands of time to emerge victorious.  Will Undkban take down “The Shellraiser” at Finest Hour?

Ultimate Hour was thought to be over, but PSA’s camera feeds cut to Drew Pender, who had just arrived at an unknown location.  He knocked on the door, and he was reluctantly let inside by a familiar voice.  As the show went to a close, a nameplate came into view: Lopez.

“The Blood Hunter,” Bruno Bolousek, kicked off Ultimate Hour with a match against Pletch.  “The Pig” solidified his status as a PSA veteran through his impressive offense, but he was no match for the Bolousek Bomb.  After the match, Trunk ran down and refused to let Bruno leave until he agreed to give him a PSA Hardcore Championship match.  The PSA Faithful chanted loudly in support of Trunk, and Bolousek was so annoyed by this strategy that he agreed to a showdown at Finest Hour!  However, he warned Trunk that there will be consequences for the disrespect shown today; will Trunk live to regret this?

Prior to stepping into Heck in a Seck with “The Lifeblood,” Keith needed some advice.  He pulled out his phone and called an “old friend,” who encouraged “Mr. Guy” to be himself and to not let a bully like Johnny Warren get in his way of greatness.  Will we see a new PSA World Champion at Finest Hour?

Next, Binglebottom Industries addressed MCII's betrayal last week.  Samuel was enraged that his protégé pulled a stunt like this, but Lochlan and The Great Rapsby argued that S.O.B. went too far when he assaulted Mark Cooper.  Binglebottom couldn't tolerate this insubordination, so he and Mob Boss Brody made the executive decision to fire them from Binglebottom Industries!  To add salt in the wound, Binglebottom and Brody look to teach Lochlan and Rapsby a lesson when they collide in tag team action next week.

Cruella Castonova took her frustrations with Ramona Spectre out on MC Dera, who she faced in singles competition.  After “Miss Obsidian” made quick work of her opponent, Castonova demanded the presence of Ramona.  Instead of coming down to the ring, however, Spectre remained on the entrance ramp.  She told Castonova that she’s not going anywhere near her until she gets what she wants: a match for the Roster Roulette Championship.  Not only that, but they must face each other at “The Chaos Compound,” a newly-acquired PSA facility that will take professional wrestling’s uncontrollable violence to the next level.  Desperate to get her hands on her rival, Castonosa agreed to destroy Ramona Spectre in After Hour Anarchy at Finest Hour!

As Marcia arrived for the evening, she was stopped by Marcee.  It looked like Council of M’s leader was going to yell at her for ruining last week’s Main Event, but Marcee surprised everyone and forgave Marcia.  She said that the two of them have been arguing over nothing the past couple of weeks, and she wanted to put that behind them and get on the same page again.  Marcia didn’t say much, but she agreed that being a united front was best for Council of M’s success.  Now that Marcee has settled this issue, can she become a three-time PSA Women’s World Champion at Finest Hour?

In the match between Casual Adam and Shawn Westin, the PSA Faithful eagerly awaited the arrival of the one known as “Spoonman.”  The two had a competitive match that was capped off by a diving Sound Check, but unfortunately Spoonman never showed up.  Despite his victory, Adam felt helpless; is there anything he can do to summon Spoonman?

Backstage, Drew Pender reflected on Spitfire’s betrayal for the first time.  He admitted that he’s done a lot of bad things during his time in PSA, but he didn’t realize it until he saw Goldielox holding the Ultimate Hour Championship.  Drew knew at that moment that he created a monster, and now it was time to fix it.  If he’s going to do that, however, he needs to find a tag team partner to take on Goldielox and J-Mike at Finest Hour.  Drew didn’t reveal anyone specific, but he did mention that Keith’s phone call to an “old friend” earlier tonight gave him an idea.  Will Drew Pender find a partner in time?

Our Main Event saw Cirque du Shaam hold a PSA Tag Team Championship Open Challenge.  Many teams were predicted to appear, but no one expected representatives of RPG in the form of C.O.R.D. Officers Theta and Zeta!  This exciting showdown was nearly ruined by The Disciples, but luckily Dave and The Owskis were there to ensure that the contest stayed a competitive affair.  C.O.R.D. had a solid showing when all was said and done, but Cirque du Shaam continued to cement their legacy as one of the greatest tag teams in PSA history when Sir Alex Westworthy pinned Officer Theta following the Critical Roll to retain the Gold.

As Ultimate Hour got underway, Keith stormed out and demanded a confrontation with Johnny Warren.  “The Lifeblood” knew what Keith wanted, so he shocked everyone and agreed to a rematch for the World Title at Finest Hour!  Not only that, but Warren let the challenger pick the stipulation for this second encounter.  After giving it some thought, Keith decided that meeting inside Heck in a Seck would be the best way to put an end to this heated rivalry!  The Director of PSA said he’ll make it happen, but he warned Keith that this is the last chance he will ever get against Johnny Warren.  Can “Mr. Guy” become the two-time PSA World Champion?

Hot off their rebranding as Spitfire last week, Goldielox and J-Mike took on the Jonsun Culinary Academy’s Jeff Jonsun and Dalton Pepper.  Both duos are valued parts of PSA’s tag team division, but the newness factor of Spitfire allowed them to hit their tag team finisher, All Gold Everything, on Pepper to pick up the win.

Next, the PSA Faithful heard from Trunk.  After thinking about it for a couple of weeks, he has decided to stake his claim to the PSA Hardcore Championship!  This comment brought out “The Blood Hunter,” who surprised everyone when he refused to honor this challenge.  In the Champion’s eyes, Trunk hasn’t done anything to earn a Title match, especially when he lost at The Red Wedding a few weeks ago.  Trunk admitted he hasn’t always walked out on top, but he and the fans know that he’s worthy of this opportunity.  Will Trunk find a way to earn a PSA Hardcore Championship match against Bruno Bolousek?

Council of M’s Mega Marc took on Ramona Spectre in singles competition.  Marc started off in control, which was unsurprising due to her immense size and unparalleled strength.  Spectre had anticipated this, so she used her smaller stature to tire her opponent and emerge victorious with Death’s Kiss.  Cruella Castonova had run down after the match to get revenge for last week’s attack, but Ramona was a step ahead and had already escaped through the crowd.

Now that Casual Adam’s business with Mark Cooper Jr. was settled, he could turn his attention back to his real foe: Spoonman.  Right as “The Good One” was about to berate this mysterious figure, however, he was interrupted by Shawn Westin.  Westin clarified that he had no idea who Spoonman is or where he came from, but he will always defend his honor after he helped defeat Ben Richards at last year’s Ground Zero.  This gave Adam an idea: if he faces Shawn Westin, maybe Spoonman will show up!  The match was made official for next week, but we will have to wait and see if this strategy pays off.

Backstage, Mark Cooper Jr. made final preparations for his match with his father.  He was eager to put “Shotgun” down for good, but the expression on his face changed when Samuel Binglebottom entered the room.  S.O.B. refused to let his protégé go out there and embarrass himself, so he’s going to face Cooper instead.  MCII tried to protest this decision, but Binglebottom told him not to worry; when he’s done with Cooper, he won’t be a problem ever again.

In the showdown between Mark Cooper and Samuel Binglebottom, the mma veteran looked just as dangerous as ever.  As time went on, however, age caught up with him.  Binglebottom eventually took control, and he used this dominance to hit the Bottom Feeder and take down Cooper.  S.O.B. launched a beat down on “Shotgun,” but MCII had a change of heart and clotheslined Binglebottom out of the ring!  The Coopers had a brief staredown, but they quickly embraced and made it clear to the PSA Faithful that they were on the same page once again.  How will Samuel Binglebottom respond to this betrayal?

The PSA Archives housed a secret meeting between The Owskis, Keith, Cirque du Shaam, and Dave.  They all agreed something needed to be done about The Lifeblood Initiative, so they officially joined forces to take them down.  Cirque du Shaam also mentioned they will be hosting an Open Challenge for the PSA Tag Team Championship next week, so The Owskis and Dave will be on guard in case anyone tries to cost them the match.  Can the ever-expanding Owskivengers take down The Lifeblood Initiative?

In the Main Event, Brittany Blake and Tara faced Marcee and Hayley.  The stakes were simple: if Blake and Tara won, they would be added to the PSA Women’s World Championship match at Finest Hour.  It would be easier said than done, however, as Marcia was at ringside to ensure Marcee’s upcoming Title match remained a one-on-one affair.  This contest was very competitive, but everything changed when “La Mueñca Muerta” tossed a chair in the ring in front of the referee.  As Steph Jonsun ejected Marcia, Blake hit Marcee with a cheap shot and lined her up for Tara’s Crown of Midnight.  Tara successfully hit the move and got the cover, and this means that the PSA Women’s World Championship will be defended in a 4 Way Elimination Match at Finest Hour!

Following her attack on Hayley last week, Tara spoke to the PSA Faithful.  She called her sister a coward, and she refused to sit back and watch Hayley hold a Title she doesn’t deserve.  “The Lawbringer” came down to the ring for a confrontation, but they were both interrupted by Marcee before things could get physical.  She told Tara to get lost; the Title match at Finest Hour is hers, and there’s nothing she can do about it.  This brought out Brittany Blake, who argued that if anyone deserves to be Champion, it’s “The Gold Mine.”  Luckily, she had an idea: if Brittany and Tara defeat Hayley and Marcee, they would both be added to the PSA Women’s World Championship match at Finest Hour.  Marcee and Hayley rejected this proposal, but Blake revealed that she already had it approved by Johnny Warren!  Which women will emerge victorious next week?

Montana Malibu has had a rough start to the year, but he hoped to bounce back in his showdown with Trunk.  Malibu actually took control multiple times, but Brian Gobert’s “assists” always led to a Trunk comeback.  In the end, an argument between Malibu and Gobert helped Trunk get the win with the Primal Strike.  After the match, “The West Coast’s Finest” shocked everyone when he fired Gobert for his horrible managing!  As Malibu exited backstage, he passed by Goldielox and J-Mike, who made their way down to the ring.

Next, Goldielox and J-Mike explained their betrayal of Drew Pender at The Red Wedding.  “The Gilded Greatness,” who was sporting a golden Ultimate Hour Championship, explained that he was always going to stab Drew in the back.  Not only would using the Debt Collector on Johnny Warren or Bruno Bolousek be incredibly risky, but this was personal; Drew treated him like a dog, and he promised himself after Binglebottom Industries that he would never be a lackey again.  On top of that, Drew has a history of betraying his teammates when things don’t go his way, so he just got the jump on him this time.  Goldielox had always planned on taking down the narcissistic asshole known as “The Shepherd of Fire,” but he hadn’t planned on gaining a brother in the form of J-Mike.  The pair have not only decided to stick together, but they are forming a new alliance dubbed “Spitfire!”  Their mantra is quite simple: no leaders, all equals, all gold everything.  As a final parting gift, Goldielox agreed to face Drew Pender, but it will not be alone and it will certainly not be for the Ultimate Hour Championship.  Instead, he and J-Mike will face Drew and a tag team partner of his choosing at Finest Hour, though they doubt he’ll be able to find anyone considering the fact that he’s made an enemy out of everyone in the PSA locker room.  As Spitfire left the ring, the duo promised to finish the job and put down Drew Pender for good.  Can they accomplish this mission?

Backstage, The Gigantes were found arguing.  El Gigante wanted Hell Gigante to give their partnership another try, but the two simply couldn’t come to an agreement.  To their surprise, the conversation was cut short by Trunk, who was still celebrating his victory over Montana Malibu earlier in the night.  He’s been giving it a lot of thought, and he really thinks he could be the one to take down Bruno Bolousek!  Before he officially challenged “The Blood Hunter,” however, he wanted the blessing of El Gigante.  The veteran told Trunk that it’s ultimately his choice, but he warned that a match with Bruno Bolousek can take years off his career if he’s not careful.  Will Trunk be the next to step up to the PSA Hardcore Champion?

After last week’s embarrassing encounter with “The Good One,” Mark Cooper Jr. demanded a match against Casual Adam.  It was a back-and-forth encounter, but right as MCII gained the upper hand, his father, Mark Cooper, appeared on the entrance ramp!  This surprise stunned MCII, which allowed Adam to hit the Sound Check and keep his win streak alive.

Before his match with Andrew Frankowski, Ben Richards asked Cruella Castonova about Ramona Spectre.  “Miss Obsidian” told Richards not to worry about Spectre, as she needs to face some “real” competition before she gets a shot at the Roster Roulette Championship.  As soon as Richards left the area, however, Castonova was knocked unconscious by a Ramona sneak attack!  The challenger said she was tired of waiting; she’s taking that Title by force.  How will Cruella Castonova respond to this blatant disrespect?

With The Owskis continuing to be an ever-present threat, Johnny Warren has ordered Cali Dynamite and Ben Richards to take them down at Finest Hour.  For now, however, Andrew Frankowski and Ben Richards fought for the opportunity to choose the stipulation of this inevitable showdown.  There is no doubt that “The Youngblood” is incredibly talented, but his lack of focus led to several critical mistakes.  On the flip side, Frankowski is a tactical expert, and he used these errors to secure the victory by catching the unsuspecting Richards with the Run-On Rundown.  After the match, Andrew revealed that The Owskis and The Lifeblood Initiative will collide at Finest Hour in a Street Fight!

The PSA Faithful have been dying to know why Johnny Warren and Corwin worked together at The Red Wedding.  Tonight, the two men met to discuss the terms of this partnership.  Warren thanked “The Devil’s Chosen One” for his aid in defeating Drew Pender, so he bestowed Corwin with the one thing he was never supposed to receive again: a PSA World Championship match.  This contract has no expiration date and can be used at any time, provided that the Champion is not a member of The Lifeblood Initiative.  Corwin was appreciative of the offer, but it simply wasn’t enough; it took way more effort to put down Pender than they initially expected, so it’s only fair that he be fairly compensated for fulfilling his end of the bargain.  The Director of PSA didn’t have much to offer, but an additional cash bonus was more than satisfactory for the three-time World Champion.  As the pair signed the contract, Corwin broached the subject of future employment.  Although he is not a member of The Lifeblood Initiative, he knows Warren will routinely need his help when everyone else in the Alliance, with the exception of Cruella Castonova, continues to let him down.  Warren admitted that he might need Corwin’s help again in the future, and he promised to pay handsomely for these services should they ever materialize.  Warren, eager to put this meeting to an end, went for a handshake and said, “it’s a deal.”  Corwin accepted this gesture, but not before clarifying, “it’s a pact.”

In our Main Event, Cirque du Shaam and Dave fought The Disciples in a Falls Count Anywhere match.  This was even crazier than their first encounter at last year’s Halloween from Hell, and the PSA Faithful absolutely loved it!  In the end, The Disciples were defeated by Dave, who pinned Draco with a brutal Super Bombshell to the outside of the ring.

Ultimate Hour was kicked off by The Owskivengers, who reflected on their trios victory at The Red Wedding.  They were happy to send a message to Johnny Warren, but this war is far from over.  Not only do The Owskis want to put an end to The Lifeblood Initiative, but Keith wants another shot at the PSA World Championship!  To their surprise, The Owskivengers were interrupted by Binglebottom Industries, who revealed that they will earn a future PSA Tag Team Championship match if they defeat The Owskis in tonight’s Main Event.  Which team will walk out on top?

Low-Key Eve was eager to earn the first win of her career in a rematch against Ramona Spectre.  Unfortunately for Eve, however, Spectre was enraged that Cruella Castonova still hadn’t acknowledged her existence.  After mutilating her opponent with terrifying precision, Ramona sealed Eve’s fate with Death’s Kiss.  Can Castonova ignore this challenger any longer?

Next, Undkban accompanied The Disciples to the ring for their fight against VolTYSON.  It was a competitive matchup, but Drov pinned TYSON following Bring the Afterlife to emerge victorious.  After the match, “The Pharoah” threatened to destroy Dave and his idiot friends if they ever stood up to him again.  “The Shellraiser” appeared on the ramp anyway, and he had backup in the form of Cirque du Shaam!  The six men duked it out in the ring, and it was announced that a Falls Count Anywhere match between these trios will take place next week!

Hayley was here to celebrate her victory at The Red Wedding, but first she needed to address her partnership with Drew Pender.  She clarified that she loves Drew more than anyone, and nothing could ever put their personal relationship at risk.  Professionally, however, his identity crisis has done nothing but hold her back from her true potential.  She has a reputation to maintain as the lawful Women’s World Champion, which means that she will be on her own for the foreseeable future.  Before “The Lawbringer” could elaborate any further, she was interrupted by Marcee.  Council of M’s matriarch explained that a one-on-one showdown with Hayley has been a dream of hers for years, and now is the perfect time for it to become a reality.  The Champion agreed with this sentiment, and the two women agreed to face each other for the Title at Finest Hour.  As Hayley left the ring, however, she was attacked by Tara, who ran in from the crowd!  Will Tara find her way back to the PSA Women’s World Championship?

Bruno Bolousek, fresh off a victory over Maximilien Plouffe, locked horns with El Gigante in a non-Title bout.  This match proved that “The Blood Hunter” was even stronger than people had realized, as he managed to lift El Gigante into a devastating Bolousek Bomb to win the back-and-forth contest.  El Gigante had difficulty walking following this defeat, so Trunk slid in the ring to help his mentor out.  The rookie had a brief staredown with the PSA Hardcore Champion, but Trunk was so terrified that he scurried out of the ring immediately.  Who will be the next person brave enough to challenge Bruno Bolousek?

After Binglebottom Industries made their entrance for tonight’s Main Event, The PSA Faithful were surprised to see Casual Adam come out instead.  He was about to call out Spoonman for a third time, but Mark Cooper Jr. grabbed the microphone and told Adam to get lost.  This brought out a side of Adam no one had ever seen before, as “The Good One” went ballistic on MCII and had to be escorted out by security.  Cooper had sustained serious injuries from this attack, but he agreed to compete in our Main Event match regardless.

Mark Cooper Jr. earned the respect of the PSA Faithful for powering through the pain against a team like The Owskis, but this decision was ultimately his undoing.  Andrew took control by targeting the very present bruising on MCII’s body, and Grabowski connected with the 10KG on the battered Cooper to score another victory for the legendary tag team.  Can The Owskis take down The Lifeblood Initiative?

The Red Wedding’s opening contest saw Dave and Trunk take on The Disciples.  Both teams brought their A-game, but years of experience ensured The Disciples the victory when Draco pinned Trunk with Bring the Afterlife.

Next, Council of M’s Marcee and Marcia settled their pent-up frustrations in the ring.  Marcia took an early lead, so Marcee had to use cheap tactics to turn the odds in her favor.  In the end, Marcee hit Lachryma to walk out on top, but it was clear that things could have gone differently had it taken place another night.

Maximilien Plouffe thought he was ready to enter the Hunter’s Haven, but “The Blood Hunter” showed him the reality of the situation almost instantly.  Bolousek decimated “France’s Strongest Son,” to the point where he made Plouffe tap out to the Mark of the Allmother seconds after it was locked in!  Maximilien Plouffe will accomplish great things one day, but for now the PSA Hardcore Championship remains firmly on the shoulder of Bruno Bolousek.

The PSA Tag Team Championship was on the line in a highly-anticipated rematch between JX2 and Cirque du Shaam.  JX2 would usually have an easier time facing familiar opponents, but the addition of blindfolds actually turned the odds in the Champions’ favor.  Everetts cheated by removing his face cover and hitting Westworthy with the Taste of Chaos, but it wasn’t enough to keep “The Bardic Inspiration" down.  He tagged Allen in, who managed to pin Jindrak with the Friendship Bracelet to retain the Tag Team Title!

Adam’s hunt for Spoonman continued, but he was once again disappointed when he never showed up.  Instead, Adam was challenged by RPG’s Nigel “One Shoe” Gazuntite, who immediately became a fan-favorite amongst the PSA Faithful for his wild, unorthodox personality.  Gazuntite had a great showing, but Adam took him down with the Fork-Knife On Plate to record another win for “The Good One.”

The Owskivengers suited up for their trios match with The Lifeblood Initiative’s Brittany Blake, Cali Dynamite, and Ben Richards.  The rivalry between these two alliances was more intense than ever, but on this night Keith took down Richards with the Cloudpiercer to shift the momentum in favor of The Owskivengers.

The months of hatred between Hayley and Tara came to a head inside Heck in a Seck for the PSA Women’s World Championship.  Tara was nowhere near 100% heading into this match, but she entered anyway in an attempt to rightfully reclaim her Title.  This plan unfortunately backfired, as Hayley used these injuries to defeat her sister with the Cross Examination and etch her place in the history books as the two-time PSA Women’s World Champion!

Johnny Warren’s opportunity for redemption saw him defend the PSA World Championship against Corwin and Drew Pender once again.  A lot has changed in the 1035 days since their last showdown, but the one constant is that fact that all three men are incredible professional wrestlers.  This will go down as one of the greatest matches in PSA history, which included “The Lifeblood” finally kicking out of a Northern Lights Suplex, the move that defeated him in their first encounter.  The most shocking moment came later, however, when Corwin chose to attack his brother instead of Johnny Warren.  “The Devil’s Chosen One” Low Blowed Pender and allowed Warren to pin him, but “The Shepherd of Fire” kicked out!  Warren and Corwin clearly weren’t expecting this, so they hit Drew with a Warhammer/Mortal Reminder combo and Warren got the cover to retain the Title.  After the match, Corwin and Johnny Warren shook hands, signaling that this partnership was premeditated; has “The Devil’s Chosen One” just joined The Lifeblood Initiative?

As Johnny Warren celebrated this victory, he was attacked from behind by an enraged Drew Pender, who pointed to the ramp and summoned Goldielox.  To everyone’s surprise, however, Goldielox snuck in the ring and ambushed Drew with the Debt Collector!  Fans thought J-Mike came down to the ring to separate the two men, but he joined in on the beatdown instead.  “The Gilded Greatness” handed his briefcase to the referee, which officially started an impromptu match for the Ultimate Hour Championship.  Goldielox then climbed up to the top rope, connected with a diving Midas Touch, and pinned Drew Pender to end The Red Wedding as the new Ultimate Hour Champion!

We opened Ultimate Hour with the returning Casual Adam, who reflected on his victory over Dr. Chris Chan at Plugged In.  He was grateful to face a PSA veteran like Dr. Chan, but there’s only one man that “The Good One” wants his hands on.  Adam promised that his quest for Spoonman is far from over, and he looks forward to seeing him at The Red Wedding.  Will the one known as Spoonman actually show up?

After challenging Maximilien Plouffe to face a worthy competitor, Bruno Bolousek saw it fit to face one of his own.  Enter Voltand, a man that has taken Bolousek to the limits in the past.  The pair had another highly competitive bout, but “The Blood Hunter” prevailed after he downed Voltand with the Bolousek Bomb and submitted him with the Mark of the Allmother.

Next, Dave and Trunk were interviewed backstage.  Trunk explained that he couldn’t just sit back and watch “The Shellraiser” get beat down by The Disciples, so he did the right thing and helped his friend out.  To really take the fight to The Disciples, however, Trunk announced that he and Dave will face Draco and Drov at The Red Wedding!  Which team will walk out on top?

Maximilien Plouffe was on the hunt for a PSA Hardcore Championship match, and the only way to earn one was by defeating TYSON, the man who injured Bruno Bolousek in Season 7.  Plouffe had a tough challenge in front of him, but he pushed through and defeated TYSON with a pop-up High Striker.  After the match, Bolousek confronted “France’s Strongest Son” and made it clear that their Title match is official for The Red Wedding!

With security at ringside, Hayley and Tara finally spoke woman-to-woman for the first time since Hayley’s betrayal.  Tara demanded that the PSA Women’s World Championship be returned to her, but Hayley refused; “possession is nine-tenths of the law,” and that would make Hayley the “rightful” Champion.  Tara argued that regardless of what Hayley believes, the truth is that she is jealous.  She is jealous that Tara defeated Brittany while she never has, she is jealous that Tara is the real PSA Women’s World Champion, and she is jealous of the fact that Tara has always been the better sister.  This struck a nerve with Hayley, who explained that Tara’s only chance at getting the Title back is if she wins at The Red Wedding inside Heck in a Seck!  Tara agreed without hesitation, but it’s a risky move since she’s still recovering from the injuries she sustained at Plugged In.  Will Tara power through the pain and reclaim her PSA Women’s World Championship? 

Council of M took on The Ladies of Payne in tag team action.  Marcee and Marcia were still upset with one another following last week’s Main Event, but they agreed to put their issues aside so they could walk out on top.  This truce failed spectacularly, as Marcee felt insulted by Marcia’s blind tag and slapped her across the face; this gave Anna Payne the opportunity to strike with the Slip of the Tongue and secure the win.  Marcia fired back with a strike of their own, but the two teammates agreed to save their rage for The Red Wedding, where they will face one-on-one.

Backstage, Johnny Warren held a meeting with the rest of The Lifeblood Initiative.  He demanded excellence from everyone, particularly JX2 as they continued to prepare for their upcoming PSA Tag Team Championship match.  “The Lifeblood” then gave the floor to Cruella Castonova so she could respond to Ramona Spectre’s challenge, but the meeting was cut short by an Owskivengers ambush!  Wanting no part of the chaos, Warren snuck away and announced that The Lifeblood Initiative will destroy Keith and The Owskis in a trios match at The Red Wedding.  As the brawl between the two Alliances waged on, a new edition of PSA Flashback was aired for the world to see.

PSA Flashback- The April 14, 2023 edition of Ultimate Hour presented one of the most important showdowns in PSA history: the PSA World Championship match between Corwin, Drew Pender, and Johnny Warren.  After earning shots at the World Title with their victory at Extreme Hour 2023, The Fraternals were given the match a week early by the newly-appointed Director of PSA, Dru Parcher.  Johnny Warren had just suffered a heartbreaking betrayal by his tag team partner, Pletch, but he had no choice but to defend his Title against two of PSA’s top talents.  The match itself was complete pandemonium, which escalated even further when a fight between The Owskis and Pletch spilled out into the arena.  This distraction led to the most embarrassing loss of Warren’s career, which took the form of a Northern Lights Suplex performed by Drew Pender.  “The Lifeblood” has craved redemption for this failure ever since, and he finally gets his chance at The Red Wedding!

Our Main Event of the evening saw The Gigantes compete against Ashes of the Spear’s Goldielox and J-Mike.  It was a fun match, but the lack of synergy between Gigantes allowed J-Mike to hit El Gigante with the Mike Drop to emerge victorious.  As Goldielox and J-Mike celebrated their way to the parking lot, they were stopped by Drew Pender once again.  He finally apologized for cancelling their PSA Tag Team Championship match, but he explained that his mission of saving Ashes of the Spear had to take top priority.  After “The Shepherd of Fire” becomes a Double Champion and inspires Hayley and Tara to forgive one another, Drew will do whatever it takes to help Goldielox and J-Mike win the Tag Team Title.  In the event that Drew doesn’t capture the World Title, however, he needed Goldielox to use the Debt Collector to “do what’s right.”  To Drew’s surprise, “The Gilded Greatness” reacted like all was forgiven, and he promised to make sure that the right man leaves a Champion at The Red Wedding.  Can Ashes of the Spear be restored to its former glory?

Ultimate Hour kicked off with a promo by Keith and The Owskis.  The trio have officially joined forces in their quest to take down The Lifeblood Initiative, and they already have a team name: “The Owskivengers!”  These comments brought out Brittany Blake, who warned Keith in December that bad things would happen if he continued this pursuit.  The Owskivengers were ready to respond, but it was revealed that Blake was simply a distraction for an ambush by Ben Richards and Cali Dynamite!  Although The Lifeblood Initiative left this encounter on top, there’s no doubt that The Owskivengers will be back for vengeance.

Pletch’s first match following the end of The Madder Lads saw him step in the ring with Hell Gigante.  “The Pig’s” veteran instincts brought initial success, but Gigante’s superior strength and athleticism quickly overwhelmed him.  After Gigante sealed his victory with the Diablo Driver, he bumped into El Gigante backstage.  The OG Gigante said the pair had great chemistry at Plugged In, so he wanted them to team up once again.  Hell Gigante didn’t seem interested, but El Gigante revealed that he already scheduled them for a match next week.  Can The Gigantes stay a united front and be a successful team?

Next, Cirque du Shaam were eager to find new challengers for the PSA Tag Team Championship.  Unfortunately, the pair were interrupted by JX2, who explained that since they were only given a couple of hours to prepare for their match at Plugged In, they were more than deserving of a rematch.  Cirque du Shaam agreed to face them at The Red Wedding, but only if the Champions could select the stipulation.  Jindrak and Everetts agreed, so Cirque du Shaam revealed that the PSA Tag Team Championship will be defended in a Blindfold Match!  Which team will leave with the Gold?

Undkban refused to face Dave one-on-one, so “The Shellraiser” took on Draco instead.  These two behemoths duked it out, but in the end Dave was victorious with the Whirlpool.  Drov channeled his frustration into a vicious beatdown after the bell, but he was stopped by Trunk, who ran down to the ring and scared The Disciples off with a steel chair.  The heated rivalry between Dave and Undkban has only just begun!

“France’s Strongest Son,” Maximilien Plouffe, demanded a showdown with Bruno Bolousek.  “The Blood Hunter” agreed to speak, and he even complimented Plouffe on his incredible strength.  However, he made it very clear that he won’t get a match for the PSA Hardcore Championship until he proves himself worthy.  The stakes are simple: if Maximilien Plouffe defeats the opponent Bolousek selects for him, then he will get his opportunity at The Red Wedding.  Can Plouffe prove himself in the eyes of the Hardcore Champion next week?

Goldielox and J-Mike returned in tag team action against Binglebottom Industries’ Lochlan and Great Rapsby.  The Ashes of the Spear members used their frustrations with Drew Pender to take control, and they proved themselves more than worthy of a Tag Team Championship match when J-Mike pinned Rapsby with the Mike Drop.  As the pair celebrated their way to the parking lot, they actually passed by “The Shepherd of Fire,” who was eager to speak with them.  Unfortunately for Pender, however, his followers simply ignored him and made their exit with a smirk.

Cameras panned from Drew Pender’s embarrassing interaction with Goldielox and J-Mike to his brother Corwin, who was lurking in the shadows nearby.  He didn’t say much, but he promised to change the landscape of PSA forever at The Red Wedding.  Will “The Devil’s Chosen One” become a four-time PSA World Champion?

In our Ultimate Hour Main Event, Hayley and Marcia faced one-on-one for the first time.  Marcee accompanied her Council of M teammate to ringside, but it was clear that she would have preferred to be in this match instead.  In this contest, “La Mueñca Muerta” held her own against the PSA veteran, and she even knocked Hayley out with the Death Parade.  When Marcia went for the pin, however, she realized that the referee was distracted by Marcee, who had removed the turnbuckle pad.  Marcia forced her to stop, but Hayley used this opening to recover and secure the win with the Cross Examination.  As Marcee and Marcia argued their way backstage, Hayley was ambushed by Tara, who snuck into the ring from the crowd.  It’s only a matter of time before these sisters meet in the ring for the PSA Women’s World Championship!

Before Ultimate Hour could officially get underway, Undkban ran into the ring from the crowd.  He demanded that Johnny Warren give him another match for the PSA World Championship, but he was interrupted by Dave, who was here to get revenge for Undkban’s attack at New Year’s Armageddon!  “The Pharaoh” escaped for now, but it’s only a matter of time before these two will finally collide in the ring.

Now that the show could get back on track, The High Five’s Maximilien Plouffe faced off with Jeff “The Chef” Jonsun.  “France’s Strongest Son” was impressive in this contest, especially when he defeated Jonsun with an absolutely devastating High Striker.  After the match, Plouffe explained that since Gilgadar failed to take down Bruno Bolousek, he wanted to support his friend by doing the honor instead.  Will “The Blood Hunter” accept this challenge?

Hayley came down to the ring to finally explain why she betrayed Tara at Christmas Calamity.  To put it simply, she didn’t see her sister as deserving of holding the PSA Women’s World Championship.  Hayley claimed to be the one carrying Tara to success since the very beginning, and she finally got tired of it last December.  Now that she is in possession of the Title, Hayley considers herself to be the “rightful” PSA Women’s World Champion.  The PSA Faithful were anticipating Tara’s return, but Hayley was instead confronted by Council of M.  Marcee clearly wanted a match for the Title, but Marcia cut her off mid-sentence and demanded a match with Hayley next week!  Will Marcee support her teammate in this showdown, or will her jealousy get the better of her?

Next, The Ladies of Payne took on The PSA Outcasts in tag team action.  Aayla Payne may have lost at Plugged In, but she bounced back quickly when she pinned Dean Cottonsmith with the Nail Biter and secured the win for her team.

Backstage, Ramona Spectre spoke with Pletch.  After mourning the loss of Shell Gigante, “The Pig” was encouraged to wreak havoc on his own.  Spectre also vowed to herald the return of Handrew Frankenstein, but for now she wants to make “The Madder Scientist” proud by becoming Roster Roulette Champion!

Ramona Spectre’s first step towards the Roster Roulette Title came in the form of Low-Key Eve.  Eve had some lingering injuries from her match with Hayley last Season, and her opponent took full advantage.  The relentless beatdown was fun for a while, but Spectre eventually got bored and ended the contest with Death’s Kiss.  How will Cruella Castonova respond to this new challenger?

Johnny Warren wanted to celebrate his victory over Undkban, but he knew it was only a matter of time before his next challengers, Corwin and Drew Pender, joined him in the ring.  These men have a storied history, and the next chapter will be written during their PSA World Championship match at The Red Wedding!

After Keith ruined JX2’s beatdown at Plugged In, Jim Everetts wanted to teach him a lesson in our Main Event.  Everetts used his superior strength to establish an early lead,  but “Mr. Guy” eventually mounted a comeback.  This was stopped when the referee was knocked out by an accidental strike, as The Lifeblood Initiative ran down to the ring for an assault on Keith.  Before they could do so, however, Cirque du Shaam and The Owskis appeared to even the odds!  The ringside area was in complete pandemonium, and Keith used this chaos to hit Everetts with the Cloudpiercer and pick up the win!

Plugged In was opened by Casual Adam, who was eager to face Spoonman in singles competition.  Spoonman never showed up, but Adam was instead joined by a PSA Veteran: Dr. Chris Chan!  It was a pleasant surprise for the fans in attendance, but “The Good One” was not happy.  Adam used this frustration to his advantage, and he ultimately came out on top when he took down Chan with a move dubbed the “Fork-Knife On Plate.”

Tara and Hayley were supposed to face off for the PSA Women’s World Championship, but this was cancelled when Hayley was found ambushing her sister in the parking lot earlier tonight!  After powerbombing Tara into a bed of glass, Hayley low-blowed the Champion to put an end to the vicious beatdown.

Goldielox and J-Mike were ready to become PSA Tag Team Champions, but that all changed when they were stopped by Johnny Warren.  “The Lifeblood” revealed that Drew Pender demanded a meeting with him when he heard about Hayley and Tara’s fight.  “The Shepherd of Fire” wanted to ensure victory over Corwin, so he had Warren scrap their Title match so they could focus on that instead.  The pair left the building in frustration, which means that Drew Pender will have to face his brother alone later tonight!

Next, Aayla Payne challenged Cruella Castonova for the Roster Roulette Championship.  Payne has impressed many in her short time on the PSA roster, but she wasn’t ready to take down an established star like Castonova just yet.  After dizzying her opponent with a kick to the head, “Miss Obsidian” lifted Payne into the Nova Bomb to retain the Gold.

El Gigante and Hell Gigante joined forces to take down The Madder Lads’ Shell Gigante and Pletch.  The presence of Ramona Spectre at ringside made this a challenge for The Gigantes, but the stipulation of Cheat Code Chaos helped even the odds.  Shell Gigante was dangerously close to taking down its opponents, but Hell Gigante connected with a supercharged sledgehammer that disabled the robot permanently!  Ramona was inconsolable following the destruction of her finest creation, and that allowed The Gigantes to climb up to the top ropes and hit a Double Jumbo Drop on Pletch to pick up the win.

El Gigante’s close friend, Gilgadar, was the next person to enter the Hunter’s Haven and challenge Bruno Bolousek for the PSA Hardcore Championship.  “The Time Wizard” survived longer than most, and at first it was a testament to Gilgadar’s remarkable resiliency.  As time went on, however, it was clear that Bolousek was in control the entire time.  As soon as Gilgadar made “The Blood Hunter” bleed, the contest was brought to a swift end by 3 consecutive Bolousek Bombs.

The PSA Faithful were disappointed that Goldielox and J-Mike weren’t challenging Cirque du Shaam for the PSA Tag Team Championship, but they were even angrier when they learned that their replacement was The Lifeblood Initiative’s JX2.  This showdown was highly competitive, but the challengers’ lack of preparation allowed Sir Alex Westworthy to hit Jim Everetts with the Can Opener and retain the Title.  JX2 beat down the Champions in a fit of rage after the bell, but they were saved by Keith, who is still on a mission to take down The Lifeblood Initiative!  As Keith escorted Cirque du Shaam to the parking lot, he looked back at the camera and left a message: “Help me Andrew, Josh, The Owskis; you are PSA’s only hope.”

Despite the fact that he was alone, Drew Pender looked as confident as ever heading into his fifth match against Corwin.  “The Devil’s Chosen One” took offense to this arrogance and attacked Pender before the bell, but “The Shepherd of Fire” recovered and took an early lead.  Drew’s facade faded when the Spear didn’t win him the match, however, and Corwin immediately took advantage.  He locked his brother in Judgment, and Pender had no choice but to tap out from the pain.  How will Ashes of the Spear react to the failure of its leader?

In our Main Event, Johnny Warren defended the PSA World Championship against his oldest rival: Undkban.  The third singles match between these foes did not disappoint, and there were several points where “The Pharaoh” looked poised to emerge a two-time Champion.  When Undkban went for the Ankhasault out of hubris, however, “The Lifeblood” rolled out of the way and collided with the Warhammer to retain the PSA World Championship.

Johnny Warren opened Ultimate Hour to finally announce the winner of this year’s Ball Drop Battle Royal.  He revealed that he considered several options, but one stood head and shoulders above the rest: since neither man was an “official” entrant in the Battle Royal, then no one was worthy of a PSA World Championship match!  This decision was booed heavily by the PSA Faithful, but before Warren could respond, he was distracted by Undkban, who came down to the ring through the crowd.  At first, “The Pharaoh” was upset he didn’t have a spot in the Ball Drop Battle Royal, which is why he attacked Dave beforehand.  However, he quickly realized why he wasn’t a participant, and it’s the same reason that Corwin and Drew Pender aren’t being given a Title match: Johnny Warren is scared of them.  They are all fundamental parts of “The Lifeblood’s” biggest failures, and he can’t risk losing again at this point in his career.  This accusation enraged the Director of PSA, who claimed that he isn’t scared; he just didn’t want to waste his time with ghosts from the past.  In a moment of pure impulse, Warren agreed to give Corwin and Drew Pender a shot at the PSA World Championship, but not until after his business with Undkban is settled at Plugged In.  Can Johnny Warren retain the Title against his oldest rival, or will Undkban reign as Champion once again? 

Due to her remarkable performance in the Trios Tablegeddon match at New Year’s Armageddon, Aayla Payne has been named the #1 Contender to the Roster Roulette Championship.  To keep her momentum strong heading into this contest, Payne faced off with Cheese Louise tonight.  Aayla secured a strong win with the Nail Biter, and the PSA Faithful are eager to see the newcomer step in the ring with an established star like Cruella Castonova at Plugged In.

Following Handrew Frankenstein’s loss in Last Hand Standing, Ramona Spectre spoke with the rest of The Madder Lads.  She knows that “The Madder Scientist’s” comatose state is a huge wrench in their operations, but they cannot abandon the master plan.  Punishment still awaits El and Hell Gigante, and it will take place at Plugged In inside Cheat Code Chaos!

The Lifeblood Initiative’s JX2 faced VolTYSON in tag team action.  There were multiple tense interactions between the former members of The Ultimatum, and Everetts used this to his advantage.  After TYSON was hit with the Critical Mass, Everetts lifted his opponent into the Taste of Chaos to pick up the win.

Next, Casual Adam responded to his elimination from the Ball Drop Battle Royal.  “The Good One” now hates the one known as “Spoonman,” so he demanded they meet man-to-man in a match at Plugged In!  Will Spoonman accept?

Ashes of the Spear’s J-Mike stepped in the ring with Cirque du Shaam’s Allen.  The two had a competitive matchup, but right as Allen readied for the Friendship Bracelet, Goldielox’s music played as a distraction.  This gave J-Mike the opening he needed, so he hit his opponent with the Mike Drop to emerge victorious.  As a result of this win over Allen, Goldielox and J-Mike have been given a PSA Tag Team Championship match at Plugged In!

As Goldielox and J-Mike made their way backstage, they were stopped by Drew Pender.  After congratulating them on their upcoming Tag Team Championship match, he admitted that Ashes of the Spear is in jeopardy.  Hayley and Tara might be fighting right now, but Pender will save them by finally becoming a Double Champion!  Pender hoped that these two would accompany him to the ring to ensure his victory over Corwin, but Goldielox and J-Mike claimed they’ll be too focused on their Title match to do so.  As Drew’s disciples walked away, “The Shepherd of Fire” came up with an idea; does he have a backup plan?

Montana Malibu, who was eliminated by Gilgadar in the Ball Drop Battle Royal, challenged “The Time Wizard” to a match here tonight.  Gobert promised a fresh start for “The West Coast’s Finest,” but some mistimed callouts helped his opponent win with the Time Warp.  A celebration was due, but it was cut short by the PSA Hardcore Champion, Bruno Bolousek.  “The Blood Hunter” commended Gilgadar on his impressive performance at New Year’s Armageddon, and he even offered him a Title match at next week’s Plugged In!  With the challenge accepted, can Gilgadar become PSA Hardcore Champion?

In our Main Event, the PSA Faithful were eager to hear Hayley comment on her betrayal of Tara and her theft of the PSA Women’s World Championship at last year’s Christmas Calamity.  To their disappointment, however, Hayley did not have the Title with her, and she claimed that the fans, just like her sister, were undeserving of an explanation.  As the crowd erupted in boos, Tara ran down to the ring and started an all-out brawl!  PSA Officials managed to pull the two women apart, but they will collide in a week’s time for the PSA Women’s World Championship at Plugged In!

Welcome to PSA’s first event of 2026, New Year’s Armageddon!  We opened the show with the second-annual Ball Drop Battle Royal, but this time 30 participants competed for a future PSA World Championship match.  Dean Cottonsmith and TYSON started things off, but the crowd didn’t go ballistic until Casual Adam arrived at #4.  He was hoping to win this the same way he won the Proving Grounds, but this plan went up in flames when Spoonman entered the ring and immediately eliminated “The Good One!”  Many wrestlers had an impressive performance in this contest, but the real highlight was Gilgadar, who entered 3rd and survived over 20 competitors!  “The Time Wizard” was ultimately taken out by Drew Pender, who took the place of J-Mike at #26.  Pender looked poised to win the whole thing, but he and the PSA Faithful were stunned when Corwin made his return at the illustrious 30th position!  No one knows how “The Devil’s Chosen One” found his way into the Battle Royal, but the current theory is that he replaced Dave, who never showed up.  After eliminating the remaining participants, the twin brothers took the fight to one another.  “The Shepherd of Fire” looked to eliminate Corwin via a clothesline, but his momentum carried both men over the top rope and onto the floor at the exact same time!  Who will be ruled the rightful winner of the Ball Drop Battle Royal?

The Ladies of Payne were supposed to team up with Shoot-Out Sheri against Council of M’s Mega Marc, Marcia, and Macho Mars in Tablegeddon, but she was replaced by Maria Phoenix at the turn of the new year.  It didn’t really matter who their teammate was, as Aayla and Anna Payne dominated this contest with a final score of 5-0!  Marcia, who was never put through a table, stormed out of the match in frustration; could tensions be brewing in Council of M?

Next, Johnny Warren commented on the Ball Drop Battle Royal’s controversial ending.  “The Lifeblood” admitted that he has too much on his plate to make a decision right now, but he will give his official verdict on the first Ultimate Hour of 2026.  As Warren finished this announcement, the camera feed cut to an ominous message: “Warren, it’s been too long.  I’ll see you soon…”

The Main Event of New Year’s Armageddon pitted father against son as Andrew Frankowski faced Handrew Frankenstein in a Last Hand Standing match.  Prior to this showdown, “The Madder Scientist” went through the effort of modifying the mystery box he was once stored in.  Now resembling an urn, the weapon was imbued with the power to drain life energy.  Frankenstein hit Frankowski with the Body Bag and readied for a strike with the urn, but he never expected his father to channel his old “blackout” powers and sneak attack with the Sandbag!  Knowing his son would never accept an apology, Andrew put an end to the war by hitting Handrew with the urn instead.  There is some life left in the comatose Frankenstein, but it’s clear that he will be out of action for a very long time.
