The show begins back in Master Bull’s office.  Sitting with him is his new hire The Banker and his manager Ruth Heartless.  Ruth stands there glaring at Bull holding the Banker’s briefcase.  Bull questions “So, do you plan on just attacking everyone backstage who makes fun of him.  The Banker slams his hands on Bull’s desk.  “Listen little man.  You paid a lot of money to bring me in and unless you’ve developed a sudden dislike of money, you’ll let this happen.  Winger has a mouth on him and he thinks he’s a big man on campus.  I was only showing him, well, that he’s not.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, since you didn’t bother putting me on the card tonight, we are out of here.”  The Banker and his manager turned and left the office.

Pyro goes off and our first match is ready to kick off.  Brick and TNT come out to a pop from the crowd.  Tonight, they are challenging the Hubers for their spot in the tag team lineup.  Music changes and out come Butch and Junior Huber.  The Hubers seem to be cashing in on the “Freebird” rule and the members of their Clan can interchange at any time.  Brick and TNT owned the match but Junior and Butch kept their chances alive with constant tags (and saves).  The final save came at the 30 minute mark when the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  The Hubers retain their spot.  Brick and TNT were a bit disappointed but left without incident.  (30 min draw)

Backstage, Scooter J calls out World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Scooter J is approached by the champ.  SJ puffs out his chest and says that the title changes hands tonight.  Drew shakes his head and tells him to be sure to leave the cronies back stage.  If he was any sort of man, he’d face him one on one.  Scooter J started to get snitty but Drew walked off. 

We’re ready for our next match.  Karl Braun from the 5th Column comes out and says he’s challenging Buzz Steel to a match for his spot.  Karl was in the ring alone when the music changed and Buzz Steel came out with his brother Starbuck and Biceps Bannerman.  The 6 man champions did the “too sweet” hand signal and Buzz went down to the ring.  Karl tried to attack Buzz before the bell but Buzz sent him flying out of the ring much to the fans delight.  The match eventually began but Buzz controlled the tempo right from the get go.  He showed why he was in the position he was in.  Karl put up a good fight and it took Buzz right to end to finally connect with a german suplex that allowed him to get the 1-2-3 with seconds to spare.  Buzz retains his spot.  His celebration was cut short when in from the crowd ran Baron von Blood and Oswald Zimmerman, the other members of the 5th Column.  The began to beat Buzz down but only seconds had elapsed before Starbuck and Biceps hit the ring and the Steel Curtain and Biceps decimated the Column who turn and ran.  The 6 Man champs stood tall in the ring as the Curtain yelled and cursed at them as they backed up the ramp.  (20 min)

We head backstage and the Axe is with his teammates Brick and TNT.  He tells them they came close but not to give up; just like he won’t against Barnes in his next match.  ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes walks over and tells the Axe he has some bad news for his teammates…he says Axe is lying to them when he says he walking away the victor.  Barnes laughs and heads to the ring.

Over the loudspeakers blares “I’ve got some Bad News for ya” and ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes makes his way down to the ring.  Next, the Axe makes his way out to a pop from the crowd.  Barnes is standing in the ring and beckons Axe to join him in the ring.  Axe makes it in and the bell rings almost immediately.  This match was nothing short of an ass kicking.  Axe practically destroyed Barnes but instead of going for a pin, he just continued to inflict damage…and inflict he did.  Barnes got in a lucky shot that sent the Axe flying over the top rope to the floor.  He rolled out after him and whipped out some handcuffs and cuffed Axe to the ringside barrier.  Axe struggled to get out of it but was unable to get free.  He ended up getting counted out and Barnes gets the win via countout decision.  (16 ½ min).  Barnes leaves and the ref finds the key and gets Axe free from his cuff.  He stormed off to the back.

Betsy Cummings is backstage being interviewed and she says she’s challenging Ravishing Raquel for her spot in the Ladies title lineup.  Her twin Felicia walks in and tells her sister that she has her back.  The two then leave.

Betsy Cummings makes her way down to the ring for the next match.  She, of course, is booed.  Next, Ravishing Raquel comes out and she is surprisingly accompanied by the Ambassador, the manager who manages her husband and brother in law Reid and Roderick Rothchild.  The Ambassador does not go with her to the ring but gives her some advice and then she heads to the ring.  Betsy tried to take the match to her opponent but Raquel fought back early on.  It wasn’t until Felicia pulled Betsy out of the ring and started to beat down a weary Raquel that the tide changed.  Raquel had tried to get her momentum back and tossed Felicia out of the ring and Betsy snuck back in and hit Raquel with a running kneelift.  Betsy made the cover and hooked the tights and got the 3 count.  Betsy Cummings steals the win and moves up while Raquel moves down.  (20 min mark)

Baron von Blood is backstage with Karl Braun and Oswald Zimmerman.  He curses the 6 man champs for sticking their noses in the Column’s business but tonight, he is challenging the ‘backwoods barnyard’ Outback Oscar for his spot.  He will defeat the Aussie and will move up in the rankings faster than lighting a match.  His Column teammates tell him they will have his back.

Baron von Blood makes his way down to the ring accompanied by his 5th Column teammates and the crowd boos them all.  Next, Outback Oscar comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.   He sees the Column standing in the ring and hesitates only a moment…until the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman come out.  The 6 man champs rush the ring and go after Karl and Oswald and end up chasing them to the back leaving Baron on his own.  The two men fought hard but Oscar held the advantage for the majority of the match.  Although he tried multiple times, he could not keep the Baron’s shoulders on the mat for a 3 count.  Just as the time was running out, Baron viciously eye raked Oscar but before he could capitalize on it, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Oscar retains his spot in the lineup.  Oscar left while the Baron argued with the ref and finally gave in and left.  (20 min draw)

Master Bull is in his office and he says that the show has been great so far but the best is yet to come.  He says that he secured the World Title defense for the Phoenix crowd and that they deserve it.  He also says that in a week, he’s getting the Tag Team Champions Elitism onsite to defend their titles.  He promises the cards will continued to excel in 2018.

It’s time for our Main Event.  First, the challenger Scooter J comes out and the fans boo him.  He flips random people off and gets into the ring.  He motions like he’s going to wear the title.  Music changes and out comes the World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Drew gets the loudest pop of the night and Scooter J hates it. Drew eventually makes it to the ring and hands over his title to the ref and the bell rings kicking this one off.  Scooter J owned the first few minutes of the match but then Drew acted like it was time to get the action moving and he then began beating the hell out of Scooter J.  Both men went for pin attempts but both had the presence of mind to kick out.  The match had been going on for a bit and Scooter J started to get frustrated so he tossed Drew out of the ring but he was back in quick.  He then hit Drew with a bodyslam but Drew hit him with the La Casita.  SJ was down.  Drew picked him up and hit a second La Casita and this time, he went for the pin and got a 3 count.  Drew the Canadian Love Machine gets the win and retains his title.  The show comes to an end as he celebrates in the ring.  (19 min)
