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.
