The show began with the usual opening sequence and we were greeted by the announcers at ringside. They previewed the matches upcoming on the show inasmuch as they said what they were and Larry gave a sentence or two before discussing the next one. Just as Larry realizes that above the entrance area there is now an extremely large screen with the SCW logo on it, music begins to play from the PA system. The music belonged to Hank Wright, who came out to a rowdy welcome from the hometown fans. He drew everyone's attention to the new screen and thanked the owners for the addition. He then apologized for the SCW's disappearance as they had several legal issues that had to be taken care of stemming from an incident at the El Paso house show several weeks ago. He discusses that the incident in question was filmed by a fan in the stands, and he thanked the fan by name and said he was given free tickets and a weekend package for Showdown for allowing them to get the footage. He introduced the footage and pointed everyone to the big screen. The footage is then played. In the footage, we see the electric box near the entrance area suddenly explode into large sparks and flames during the main event entrance of "Legend" Sean Darring and his triple threat match with Pat Gordon Jr and Son of Malta. Fans begins screaming and one fan looks like his pants actually caught fire from the blaze. Security is seen rushing in and trying to keep calm, but the fans in that section suddenly erupt in panic and almost charge over each other before the footage suddenly looks like it is falling and cuts out. Wright again apologizes to El Paso for the incident and explains that lawyers for some of the fans in that section got an injunction against SCW operating until safety concerns had been proven with the Texas authorities. Commissioner Wright explains there was no reason known for why things did what they did until this evening when he arrived at his office here at The Phoenix and found this.... He held up a picture of Big Red Love Machine, a man who has not been seen on SCW television despite being scheduled for the first show. It was later found that he was attacked and left for dead outside the apartment he resided in and spent 2 months in rehab for a broken femur and rotator cuff. Wright explained that this picture was found inside his office hung on the wall with a knife stuck through it. When he pulled the picture off, he read what was written on the back. (he turned it around and it simply said "It was ME! ALL of it was ME!" and it looked like it was written in blood. Wright explained that he called in more security for tonight's broadcast and felt he should tell the fans what was going on. Hank stated that they would find out who the cause of all of these issues is and he would pay for it dearly, which got him another hero's ovation. With that, the camera cut back to Alfie Button being interviewed by Tess Wiley. Alfie gave a great interview and, thanks to the new big screen, the fans cheered when he delivered some of his signature phrases. He promised that Jed Johnson may think he is the truest wrestler here, but he can't hold a candle to Alfie when Button is properly motivated. And after being pushed to the limit by Caleb Foley, he is certainly motivated. The screen then cut to another backstage area where Davey-boy O'Brien was talking with his mentor, Keegan. El Gringo Loco and Las Preguntas enter the room and Gringo Loco tells Davey-boy how much he is looking forward to seeing his match this evening. The tag champs do not say a word. They leave and Davey-boy looks a little unnerved, but Keegan calms him telling him not to worry about those guys until the work of the match is done. We cut back to the arena where our announcers hype up the Group A Tourney match between Johnson and Button and before Chaney can "send it to the ring" - Jed Johnson's music hits and he comes out with a microphone. He isn't flashy in his wording, but is very straight forward that all the flipping and gymnastics may get the ratings freaks to wet their pants, but in the end it is hard-nosed wrestling that gets the job done. He plans on taking Button down a notch tonight. And with that, he dropped the mic. [GROUP A MATCH] ALFIE BUTTON VS. JED JOHNSON -- Button entered to fanfare and the crowd was behind him all the way thanks to Jed's statements pre-match. Johnson did well early on with his grappling game, but Button's speed was too much. Alfie kicked out of a couple of near falls before getting the advantage and eventually landing the "Season Finale" (720 splash) for the three count much to the crowd's delight. The announcers put over that this makes Alfie undefeated at 3-0 in Group A and he will be Group champion heading into the quarterfinals. The scene shifts to the Masked Brothers backstage.... [We cut backstage where the Masked Wingman is doing warm-up push-ups with his idol, the masked maniac standing on the bigger man's back. The masked Casanova stands looking over his gold mine of paper, the phone numbers he collected at Funky Town.] MM: Keep up the hard work, ami-bro. We have a hard-fought match in just a bit versus those stiff's, American Revival. [The Wingman goes down for another picture-perfect push-up.] MM: Man, I am having a hard time figuring out who I will call next. So many numbers ... so little time. It sure was awesome showing that Sweat-ball and his one-eyed friend who the real chick magnets around these parts are! [Wingman continues to go down and back up as the Maniac stands on his mid-back ranting towards the camera.] MM: I mean who do they think they are, really? Have they not heard the legend about the Masked Maniac? They have the nerve to call us scammers? We sure showed them, ami-bro! Masked bros before hos, always. I had your back and we crushed them! [The Maniac laughs.] MM: Well, I guess we won't be hearing from them again. We sure did embarrass them. They probably won't even show for their match later. It's a good day to be a mask bro. We have all the chicks ... We have all the tag fame ... And tonight, we pick up a huge victory versus American Revival. [The Wingman does one more push up obviously slowing down. Maniac hops off the big man.] MM: Great work! I think you are finally ready to help me stand tall out there. Always remember my hard-working pupil - Chicks dig victories! A one-two-three gets you a night in her bed for free! [The Masked Wingman nods in agreement with his idol as we cut away.] The screen then cuts to backstage where Tess WIley is angry because she is supposed to interview Flanagan. She finds The Informer and asks him to take her place, but he said that he has duties elsewhere and that this is sometimes part of the backstage announcer's job. There are times when you have to find a way to get the wrestler to communicate as best you can. Tess gets even more upset as she relates how he just stood there with his (bleeping) drink and wouldn't say a word like he was mentally challenged or something. She starts talking about he is possibly the worst assignment in all of wrestling when Informer suddenly taps her on the shoulder and points with his thumb behind them. They spread apart and Flanagan is standing there staring at them. He just sakes his head and walks off. The view returns to the ringside area as our announcers begin hyping up the next match with Davey-boy O'Brien taking on Billy James. They mention James' massive upset of Chase Williams a couple of months ago, but before they can say much more, The Cartel music hits and El Gringo Loco's infamous Spanish greeting is geared, turning the fans into a booing frenzy immediately. EGL announces that he will be sitting in and watching the man he knows will be the newest member of the Loco Cartel. He eventually takes a seat next to our announce team as Las Preguntas stand behind him, ever watchful and not saying a word. DAVEY-BOY O'BRIEN VS. BILLY JAMES - This match wasn't much of one. James decided his best plan was to rush and attack as fast as he could after the bell, but Keegan had seemingly prepped Davey-boy for this and the youngster avoided the initial rush and went to work with an amazing set of speed and tactical strikes. James never seemed to have a foothold in the match and even completely missed an attempt at a kick to the groin. Some nights are just not your and that described Billy James tonight. EGL hogged a lot of the play-by-play time discussing what a great talent Davey-boy is and how he could flourish and bloom under the Cartel banner and his tutelage specifically. Larry agreed almost every time EGL said something in this vein. Davey-boy landed his finisher and got the three count as the fans cheered him on. After the match, EGL and Las Preguntas join Davey in the ring. EGL asks Davey if he has decided whether or not to join the Cartel. DO'B declines. EGL threatens him, saying nobody turns down the Cartel. Davey shoots his mouth off about being able to take Las Preguntas on his own. Duda laughs, "Ja ja ja!" and EGL takes Davey-Boy up on that challenge, adding, "Te dire lo que... Next Rampage will be a big opportunity for you...por que los campeonatos will be on the line!" The screen cuts to the backstage locker room where Prince and Paris are preparing for their match. They plan on destroying the Masked Bros and showing why they are the future of the SCW tag team division. These two are very serious and their past performances have backed that up. This was a great set up for their match later. The scene then shifted to Windham Brody backstage... [The screen opens to Tess Wiley standing next to WIndham Brody in the interview area.] WILEY: I'm here with the first ever interview with Windham Brody. Tonight you are taking on Gazi as I'm sure you are hoping to get back on the winning side of things. [Brody gives her a disgusted look] BRODY: With questions like that it's bound to be the last one! WILEY: I'm afraid I don't follow... BRODY: Of course not. You see, hope is something my opponent needs to survive this match. He is the one at a disadvantage. He is the one you should be asking about how he feels he has a sliver of a chance against me. WILEY: I was just thinking that since your last match was a loss... [Brody puts his hand up in her face to get her to stop talking] WILEY: Don't think, kitten. I can tell it's not your strong suit. [Tess has an insulted look on her face] BRODY: That loss, as I explained before, was me beating myself. I was having fun and it cost me. Thing is showboating is not something you will find me doing again to that degree. It was an important lesson. [The big man takes a moment to compose himself though the rage still burns in his eyes] BRODY: And from this point forward, the fun stops. In its place the lessons begin. [Whips his hair back] BRODY: Lessons in pain. Lessons in suffering. And I hope for your sake, Gazi, those lessons are learned quickly. Otherwise, you are in for a world of pain and torture until those lessons sink in. [A slight pause.] BRODY: Gazi, you are the unlucky soul who gets to have the first lesson tonight. Step inside in that ring and class is in session and it's not over until I say it's over! Because in this institution [He looks over at Tess before turning back to the camera.] BRODY: Brody rules! [He walks off and leaves Tess speechless as the screen fades out.] MASKED BROS VS. AMERICAN REVIVAL - This match was one nobody knew exactly what to expect when the bell rang and Masked Maniac started off against Colby Prince. However, the two traded moves and near falls and got the fans into the action quickly. Prince finally tagged Paris into the match and they started double-teaming Masked Maniac, who played "Ricky Morton" for a little bit. The fans began chanting for Maniac to make the tag and when he finally did, the referee had missed it. The heat in the building was on the rise as Maniac survived a pair of near falls before finally somersaulting across the ring and diving for the tag. The 6'5" Masked WIngman entered and started knocking down Paris and Prince back and forth multiple times before they slid out of the ring and the fans cheered loudly. Before either Revival member could enter the ring, Tony Sweat and Pirate of Bling stormed the ring and began beating down both member of the Masked Bros. The referee called for the bell and the Masked Bros were announced as winners by DQ. Prince and Paris decided to enter into the ring and join in the beat down. They began working in tandem with Sweaty Bling, but before too many moves could be made, Prince got hit with a massive wave of sweat off Tony Sweat's roundhouse swing while he was holding Masked Maniac. Disgusted, both men left the ring, which allowed the Masked Brothers to get the drop on Sweaty Bling and throw them out of the ring to the crowd's delight. Security rushed the ring, wearing rain parkas for obvious reasons, to keep from anymore problems right now. The announcers sold this as the fall out from funky town, but it seems to be deeper than that now. We switch backstage to a haze of smoke in the locker room. You can hear the coughs from the camera crew as the voice of Skylark tells them to come on in. Tripp finally becomes visible through the haze with a big smile on his face. He begins talking about celebrating taking down one of the "giants of SCW" and being in the driver's seat for his group. After discussing his hopes for a run at title glory, Skylark suggests the crew take off before they get a contact high. The screen switches to Caleb Foley backstage with The Informer. He congratulated Button on his hard fought victory last Rampage, but pointed out that his shoulders still have yet been pinned to the mat. As far as this week, goes he knows Smith is a worthy opponent and will be difficult to beat, but he must win in order to get ready for the more difficult matches within the next few weeks. He may have tasted defeat but it will only make him stronger and more hungry to do the unthinkable and win the Lonestar Title. SON OF MALTA VS. FLANAGAN - Son of Malta came out with Gordon Gaines in tow. Gaines wasn't there to do anything but observe as the man giving him knowledge was going to put application to his teachings. The bell rang and Flanagan walked up and gave a sky grin before slapping Malta right across the face. Both announcers stated this was probably a mistake as Larry even said it is like tugging on superman's cape. Son of Malta stood there and waited for Flanagan to try another attack and then blocked the swing, laying him out with a choke slam. Son of Malta would motion to Gaines for him to pay close attention before every offensive move and finally after six or seven of these "object lessons," Son of Malta locked in the double undercut crossface that he calls "The Maltese Cross" and the match was stopped by submission immediately. The screen switches to a Pat Gordon Jr pre-taped segment: "Sean Darring's Legendary Bingo Party!" PGJR dresses like a senior citizen version of Sean Darring (complete with Sean Darring t-shirt underneath a cardigan, and a white wig.) Pat does a mocking impersonation of Sean Darring. He's sitting in a senior center, playing bingo with a bunch of senior citizens. PGJR says his name is "The Legend Old Man Darring" and that he's afraid to wrestle Pat Gordon, Jr. because he might get his hip broken by Pat and last time he broke a hip, he was in the hospital for months. PGJR doesn't get a bingo, knocks a bunch of cards off the table and says, "Isn't that just peachy?" He grabs a walker and ambles away, saying, "Forget this. I'm going to get my ass kicked by Pat Gordon, Junior." The screen cuts to the Rich Family backstage as they discuss among themselves (and ignoring Tommy Gordon who is actually there to conduct this interview) the match coming up against Sweaty Bling later in the show. Declan cannot seem to get past Tony's sweating issue and gets so disgusted that he actually asks NOT to be in the match. This doesn't set well with the others who all say that isn't the Rich family way and he ought to get punished for it. Lost in all of this conversation is the comedic reactions of Tommy Gordon, who despite not getting to really say much in the interview, gives very reactionary facial expressions as the family discussed Tony Sweat. [GROUP C MATCH] WINDHAM BRODY VS GAZI - Brody held out his hand to Gazi as the bell sounded, but he didn't wait for a reaction from Gazi. The moment Gazi's eyes dropped to look at the extended hand, Brody jabbed a thumb in his eye and the match was off and running. Gazi did get some token offense in, but Brody never wavered and finished him off with his modified lifting reverse STO that he calls "The Road to Hell." Easy pinfall as Brody taunted the crowd a little post match before exiting. The screen shows the ring with Larry Watters standing inside of it. He begins to discuss Group B and the situation with last Rampage's match with Sagawa and Johnny Psychotic. Explains that he has gotten a notice from Hank Wright and before he can read what it says, Tiberisu Nixon and Johnny Psychotic walk out and interrupt. Larry says some people think the only reason last week ended in a double count out was because of Nixon. Nixon claims its because he is smarter than those base animals in SCW. This brings out SAGAWA. Sagawa doesn't speak and rushes toward the ring to do his talking with action, but security rushes to separate the men before they get into it. But inadvertantly they leave Nixon alone. SAGAWA gets his hands on Nixon and attacks him with a fork - bloodying him. This brings out Hank Wright and a dozen more security personnel to separate the men in the ring. Hank Wright says this WILL be decided in the ring and not a brawl. Just to make sure that they only hurt each other for the Group B honors, he is putting the match next Rampage inside THE STEEL CAGE!!! The fans erupt at such a match being announced for the next show. We cut backstage where Big Boss Hogg is talking strategy with the Trailer Park Assassinz ahead of their match against the tag team champs. Hogg tells them to look at this as a learning experience and soak in as much as they can. On offense, they ought to do what they know how to do best in the ring. There is no pressure as people expect them to lose, so go out there and have fun and learn! If they pull off the upset, then things change as that makes them true contenders. They get ready for their final moment before heading to the gorilla position and Hogg then notices the camera and shoes them away. [NON TITLE] LAS PREGUNTAS VS. TRAILER PARK ASSASSINZ - The tag champs toyed with their opponents for a little bit. Duda even over sold a move and got EGL to laugh out loud. Marca and Duda work well together and Marca seemed to get a little angry at his partner when Duda would poke an eye or kick a groin even when he already had control. Early in the match, Border Control came through the crowd led by Lexxie Darlington and attacked Big Boss Hogg, pulling him away from the ring and up the entrance aisle as they traded off landing big shots to him. TPA lost what little advantage they had at that point and Preguntas finished off these two rookies in short order in what was a surprisingly fast match after that interference. Commercial for Showdown iPPV plays showcasing the finals of the tournament and the ladder match for number one contendership. Sign-up through the website to order! We return from commercials to the backstage area where Border control are double teaming Big Boss Hogg backstage. security is trying to get in there, but Trailer Park Assassinz show up and also jump in to try and even these odds. Finally Border Control leaves a bloodied Hogg as they exit through an actual arena exit door and disappear while TPA tended to Hogg. GEMINI VS. HARRISON DANIELS III - The match started with HD3 looking strong and toying with Gemini. The match could have been ended multiple times, but Daniels would pull the shoulders up at 2 1/2 and inflict more damage a sthe crowd booed him loudly. He would also lock on submission holds and not break until threatened with DQ. The crowd utter hates this guy already and this is his debut match. The match ends up outside the ring and Daniels gets a steel chair, but Gemini manages to kick it out of his hands mid-swing and it flies into the air and lands in the ring. Before the referee can kick it out himself, the two men end up back in the ring where Daniels hits his "Sense of Entitlement" finisher, but again pulls the shoulders up before the three count. The fans are really giving him heat now and Daniels loves it and taunts them for a bit. Daniels sees the chair in the ring and kicks it over to the Gemini lying face first on the mat. Daniels teases his Gemini to pick it up and “fight like a man” but the opponent doesn't do it. Daniels instead picks the Gemini up in the front facelock and hammerlock as the ref can see what Daniels is doing. Ref screams at Daniels to stop or he will DQ him. Daniels looks at the ref cockily before staring at the hard camera and screaming “In Heel We Trust!” before drilling the opponent face first onto the chair again with "Sense of Entitlement." Crowd gasps, announcers are horrified and impressed, Ref frantically signals for the bell and announces the DQ loss. Trainers rush the ring with towels to imply there’s blood loss and as Daniels casually rolls out of the ring, Wilson is there to meet him at ringside with a Cheshire Cat-like grin on his face and applauds the efforts of Daniels. As the trainers attend to the opponent, Daniels and Wilson walk away as Daniels says something along the lines of “He was warned. They ALL were warned.” [Backstage with one of the two men who will compete in the highly anticipated main event, the legend himself, Sean Darring. The long-time legend stands dressed and ready for action. Red and gold singlet, the salt-and-peppered hair veteran is all smiles.] LSD: I've been listening to the gossip around the locker room. Tonight, my biggest challenge thus far in the SCW. A man considered a legit threat to winning this whole tournament, the Past versus the Present ... Michael Wilson. [Respectful pause.] LSD: I agree. I agree that tonight will be my toughest challenge thus far in the SCW. I agree that Michael Wilson is indeed a threat to winning this whole tournament. He is good. He is motivated. He goes out there and makes an impact and takes what he wants. [...] LSD: I agree with _all_ of that. Michael Wilson is a complete badass. [The Legend nods.] LSD: Tonight is finally the night that I returned for. A chance to test what I have left. A chance to find out if this old classic has anything left in the tank. We all look for that measuring stick. To be the best you seek out those who take your game to the next level. Michael Wilson is that measuring stick. Tonight, another night in the group of death bracket. However, it's not just any night ... It's the make it or break it a night. It's the night to find out if the Legend can survive to the next round. A loss here all, but eliminates that possibility. A time limit draws with Bam has me in the hot seat. Pat Gordon Jr is running away with the points. However, Michael Wilson just may be the best wrestler nobody is talking about. I am. [Legendary grin.] LSD: I recognize greatness, and Michael Wilson has everything you want in a franchise player. He has the looks, the skills, and he makes things happen. A true test of the past versus the present. I have been looking towards this match since the day it was announced. Michael Wilson, Mr. Franchise himself ... Tonight, in front of all these people - you play an important role in my career. [The Legend points to the camera almost as if he is pointing right at Michael Wilson.] LSD: Tonight, is the night we find out if I belong. That question has been in the back of everyone's mind since my return was announced. I survived up until this point, but tonight there will be no excuses. The ring rust is gone. I am as motivated as ever. Surviving and advancing on the line. A win here puts Gordon Jr right in my path. While you may be the present, not today, not on my watch. [Patented cocky Darring smile.] LSD: Thank you. Thank you for being that measuring stick I need. Thank you for being that validation. Legacies are built on nights like tonight. Another chapter will be written. Another day in the sun for the old sheriff. Keeping the young guns at bay. Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. In a gunfight... You need to take your time in a hurry. I look forward to seeing you in that ring. I will bring my best. I know you won't disappoint. [The Legend gives his opponent the respect he deserves before cutting back to ringside.] Prague Drinking Team in VIP area and drinking with high rollers who are here to see the show. They are partying pretty hard and putting themselves over as ultimate talents when the Health Fanatics walk in and begin dressing them down for allowing such poisonous activities to occur with such venerable guests. This leads to the two teams beginning to throw verbal jabs at each other as they get closer and closer. It was only a matter of time before Bosko slams a beer can into the side of Greg Matthews' head and the brawl ensues. Security jumps into action (man have they been busy tonight!) as the screen fades out. CALEB FOLEY VS. "BIG KID" CHRIS SMITH - This was Foley again taking on someone considerably larger than he is. Smith used his agility and size to gain an advantage, but made a mistake after whipping Foley hard enough to send him over the corner and onto the arena floor. That mistake was that he decided to follow the "king of da gingers" to the outside. Foley dodged an attack that sent Smith into the ring post and then took the advantage, working that shoulder area once they returned inside the ring. Foley nearly got a submission on an arm bar, but Smith reached the ropes. Foley's size disadvantage then hurt him as he went for a flying forearm and Smith just caught him in mid air for an arm drag. Smith gained another advantage when he reversed an irish whip and sent Foley into the corner, however that corner had the referee in it as well and suddenly there was no law in the match. Smith landed a big powerslam, but before he got up, the crowd erupted as a masked figure rushed the ring and climbed to the top turnbuckle. He leaped off and landed a double stomp on Smith's back. Smith rolled off Foley and saw the man the announcers again lauded as Kid Chameleon. Smith rushed at him, but the masked intruder leapfrogged over him and Smith hit the turnbuckle. Smith turns around as Foley arrives off his handspring and grabs him for the cutter. The referee slides into the ring as Kid Chameleon exits and Foley gets the crowd-rousing 3 count. The screen cuts away to the hype video for the incoming tag team the O'Malley Brothers. The announcers then talk them up as being legitimate tag contenders who have succeeded elsewhere. This means that SCW's tag division is getting even deeper. We cut to backstage where Son of Malta and Gordon Gaines are discussing the match earlier. Malta expresses that not all competition will be like Flanagan and offer such a wide opening early on. Gaines nods to show that he understands what his mentor is saying. Malta says next Rampage we will see if you have learned anything new. TRIPP SKYLARK VS. JOE PUBLIC - Fast-paced match with a lot of trading moves before Skylark dodged a roundhouse and then landed a legsweep to get a true advantage. Skylark then dominated the match and even got the crowd chanting "puff puff pass" as he landed his finisher in a 4- minute match that seemed longer with the action packed within it. The screen cuts backstage where Steve Dann is standing with Tommy Gordon. Gordon tells him that he must be shocked to arrive in SCW where there are so many really large men in the locker room. Both height and weight that rival Dann's. Dann touted himself in a manner than could only be uncompromisingly arrogant and said that people have been lucky to date and he is ready to show the real Steve Dann to SCW. He says if anyone can become the future of SCW it is him because "The Fat Man can!" The screen cuts to a very pissed off Chris Smith standing gin the interview area with The Informer. Smith doesn't wait and he grabs the microphone and begins to berate the coward Kid Chameleon for attacking and costing him yet another match. He says that he will get his hands on him and when he does, He will tear him limb from limb. He will do this for many reasons, but the biggest of all is that he will do it for the ki...Before he can finish his signature phrase, The Informer attacks with another microphone and takes his mask off revealing KID CHAMELEON! The Kid states that he is sick of the false messages Smith shares and it is time someone puts the bully in his place. SWEATY BLING VS. THE RICH FAMILY - As punishment for his earlier statements, Declan is forced to start the match as he teamed with Todd for this encounter. Seeing this, the Pirate of Bling told Tony to start the match and Declan refused to lock up with him. Tony threw his hand out to taunt him to come on and get some, but sweat flew off his he and Declan dodged it and acted like he wanted to throw up. This allowed Tony to jump in and attack, giving Sweaty Bling an advantage. This played out for a bit and then the Riches regained the advantage when Declan finally gave the hot tag to Todd. After a bit with the advantage, Todd loses control of Tony Sweat due to the extra lubrication and Sweaty Bling regains control. It is here that the Masked Bros jump the guard rail and enter the ring. A brawl ensues and all four of them end up outside the ring and up the aisle. The referee counts them out and The Rich Family are awarded the victory. Security finally breaks the brawl up by grabbing every team member - except Tony Sweat, whom they just surround because they know he is too slick to be held back. These two teams are bound for some really nasty battles observed Eric Chaney on commentary. Another set of commercials play, including the commercial for Ray Bans starring Chris Hopper. We all know how people LOVE that one, right? lol When we return from commercial, Chaney and Watters begin discussing the tournament situation and how the main event of the next Rampage will be Johnny Psychotic against SAGAWA in a steel cage. The winner is Group B champ and the loser takes #2 seeding from that group. It is also discussed that Alfie Button has clinched top spot in Group A and Caleb Foley is in the driver's seat for the second spot. Group C is headlined by Tripp Skylark and Windham Brody as Brody's victory tonight seemed to clinch him no worse than second. Then Group D, where the "Group of Death" has lived up to its name. The early draw between Bam Markham and Sean Darring has put things in utter flux, especially after Michael Wilson got a victory over Bam last Rampage. That leads to a discussion of the main event tonight where Darring and Wilson square off. If Wilson wins, he clinches second spot and Darring misses the cut. If Darring wins, it is still anybody's game as Pat Gordon Jr has already clinched no worse than second place in the group with his match against Darring yet to go. [MAIN EVENT! GROUP D MATCH] SEAN DARRING VS. MICHAEL WILSON - Michael Wilson entered first and cut a scathing promo in the ring on Darring, Gordon, the Cartel, and the future of SCW with him holding the Lonestar Title. The leader of #heelnation was in rare form as he discussed that some legends need to be torn down and forgotten, and that tonight would be the first proof of that. This led to Darring's entrance, which got the crowd on its feet. Finally the match was underway after the opening bell. The two men put on a display of technical wrestling, chain-wrestling out of each other's holds in a manner that would have made Frank Gotch smile. Darring seemed a little surprised at how solid in the ring Wilson actually was, but that little bit of respect didn't dampen his desire as the veteran finally gained an advantage when he dodged a corner attack and then grabbed the staggering Wilson for an inverted DDT. The fans erupted as the veteran face made his way to several impact moves before going for a pinfall that was broken up by Harrison Daniels III at ringside. The referee threatened to send HD3 backstage and while he was admonishing the other member of #heelnation, Wilson hit a low blow and regained advantage. The next several minutes was Darring having to escape near falls and also the grasp of HD3 from outside the ring when Wilson would distract the referee inside the ring. The fans gave all sorts of heat during this, knowing that Darring had the odds squarely against him. He continued to fight and got the advantage back when he lifted his legs on a flying elbow drop attempt by Wilson. Darring then began working the left leg and even got a figure four submission clamped on around the ring post before HD3 again cheated and helped his stable-mate get out of the hold before real damage could be done. At that point, the referee had finally hit his breaking point for dealing with Daniels at ringside and ejected him. Daniels refused and the referee began threatening to have him suspended from SCW. Wilson also argued and got in the referee's face, allowing Darring to sneak up behind and roll him up for a shocking three count. The fans erupted as Darring gained a shocking victory, but his night wasn't over. Post pin, Daniels rushed into the ring and #heelnation began to double-team Darring. Wilson and Daniels hit a couple of moves, but also took time to gloat and taunt the crowd in between. Darring eventually managed to escape Daniels grasp, which caused Wilson to hit Daniels. Darring then hit a snap DDT on Wilson and en elbow drop on Daniels before exiting the ring. The show ended as Darring backed up the entrance aisle with his arms raised and #heelnation was in the ring looking angry. ROLL CREDITS! (c) 2019 RSE, Inc., All Rights Reserved
