Shotgun House Show - 8/30/2016

[Jazmyn Rain]

LIVE from the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah


Opener: Arcadia Chavez vs. Alice

- Just like on Shotgun, Alice completely dominated this match, with Arcadia Chavez having slightly more offense than Madame Santos did, but not very much. Ultimately, Alice would get the win at 4:01 with her Backslide Driver finisher

Queen Mamba vs. Joshua Schneider

- Queen Mamba's next challenge would come in the form of someone that was a member of the long-extinct "God Complex" movement. It would be a challenge that she would face without too much difficulty. Mamba would down Schneider for the Snake Charmer and the crowd pleasing victory at 6:30

Nate Lawson vs. Ethan Payne

- This was a back and forth affair for the first few minutes, but as soon as Payne poked Nate in the eyes, the gloves came off and Nate Lawson completely dominated from there, showing Ethan (and likely Tiffany Manning for that matter) that he wasn't going to tolerate ANY disrespect. Ethan Payne hardly stood a chance as eventually, Nate forced a tap out with the Elite Gogoplata at 6:20

Controversy vs. TOTAL EMISSARY

- The Emissary made their return to GCW after being gone for... well, who knows. They did wear "Total Emissary" t-shirts to the ring, which confused the audience. But, when it came to the match at hand, this was "total dominance" on the part of Hannah Myers and Destiny Skye. A "Skye High" on Sir Connor and a "Flight of the Angel" on Sir Corbin, with Hannah getting the pin on Corbin, would do the trick

Malcolm Cross vs. Wrestling Royalty

- Malcolm Cross dominated Chagev and Dionisia. The end. A reverse piledriver on Chagev would win the match at 2:03. Malcolm Cross bled Dionisia with a barbwire chair to send a further message afterward

Kayla Jones vs. Madame Santos

- Madame Santos came out with a microphone and talked about how nobody respects her and that she deserves to have all the attention being 'the most beautiful, sophisticated woman' in wrestling. The crowd, not taking her seriously, fell silent. Kayla came out and Santos talked about how she was prettier than Kayla and how she'd score a better fiancee than Trenton Snow any day. This pissed Kayla off and she drilled her right in the teeth with the Kaylan Wind Kick 1.0 to get the pinfall at :07. The referee, did in fact, have to pick up a few of Madame Santos's teeth afterward...

Golden Class vs. Matthew Bowden and Joey Michaels

- Golden Class proved why they were one of the best tag teams in GCW history and despite Tiffany Manning's antics previously, the two of them gelled as good as they ever have. Bowden and Michaels would not compare whatsoever as Gabriela brought down Bowden with the Pure Realization for the win at 5:03

MAIN EVENT: X-Division Title Match
Isabella Harker (C) vs. Aedan Quinn

- Aedan Quinn would be the next person to try and take the X-Division Championship away from Isabella Harker, who was just coming off of a title defense three days ago. This was a highly competitive main event, and the fans at one point were stunned when Aedan even hit a super sitdown powerbomb from the top rope. The fans went silent, believing that a new champion was about to be crowd, but NO, Isabella SOMEHOW kicked out of that. Aedan lost his cool after that, and his focus, as he assaulted Isabella. But, Harker came back with a second wind and took control of the match again, not letting go of said control the rest of the way. Eventually, she managed to lock in the Beastly Bindings on Quinn, and the challenger had no choice but to immediately tap out at 12:10. Isabella would celebrate with the X-Division championship to end the night.
