Joey Vinetti vs Jaquon Wright
JW = Jaquon Wright
Joey and JW lock up. Joey wristlocks him and JW reverses it. Joe side headlocks him and wristlocks him. JW rolls out of it and headflips out. Joe armlocks him then shoulders him over. JW trips him then does a handstand pendulum knee on Joe's ribs.
JW side headlocks him and Joe hits a lariat. Joe codebreakers him then hits a top rope dropkick to win.
Thoughts: This was a short but okay opener. JW's handstand pendulum double knee was neat and Joe's dropkick off the top looked stiff.
Brandon Baretta is interviewed by Drew. He says Glenn Williams lucked out last week, retaining his title after getting hit with a chair. He says it would only be right if he got another shot at Glenn's title. Brandon says he's coming for the title and says it will be on the line down the road.
Brandon says you gotta be a champion to get further in this business. He says what goes in the ring is on him and says next week is just a taste of what he has got for him.
Promoter's Corner
We cut to a clip from a show and someone named Brian Walsh is interviewed by Drew in the ring. Brian walks about the high school wrestling team and says this event helped raise some funds for it. He brought out some of the wrestlers and thanks everyone. Drew then talk about a person named Don Hyman who help put this together and leads a chant for him.
Cage Match - Special Ref: Bob Orton - Bobby D vs "Trending" Trent Daniels
Bobby hits Trent from behind to start then hits chops. Trent's head is banged off the buckles. Bobby snapmares him then slams him. Bobby double chops him. Bobby dragon screws Trent then suplexes him.
Bobby climbs the cage and misses a dive off of it. Trent sends Bobby into the cage head first. Trent stomps on Bobby then Bobby blue thunders him for 2. Bobby gets busted open and Trent foot chokes him. Glenn Williams comes down.
Trent climbs the cage and Bobby catches him. They fight on the top rope and Bobby gets crotched. Trent shakes the ropes up and down with Bobby on it. Trent clubs on him then hits a single leg codebreaker. Trent foot chokes Bobby on the ropes and climbs the cage. Trent takes a suplex off the cage.
Bobby hits punches and bangs Trent's head off the cage. Bobby powerslams him for 2. Trent tries to use brass knuckles. Orton stomps him then Bob pins Trent with a death valley driver.
Thoughts: I didn't like the finish. It's a cage match. You can't really get DQ'd or cheat. It doesn't make sense for Orton to take away the brass knucks in a match like this. Both guys took some big bumps here with Bobby missing a dive off the cage and Trent taking a suplex off the cage. I thought the selling could have been a bit better here but they did squeeze in a lot in a short time span.
Glenn Williams comes in the ring after and complains to Orton. He tries to punch him. Orton blocks it then nails him. Orton nails Trent too and Orton sends Glenn into the cage. Bobby then sends Trent into the cage. Orton and Bobby D then celebrate.
Curtis Wylde and Wildfire are interviewed. Curt says some would say the Classic Title should still be his. He says Atila Khan dodged him every chance he had when he had the belt. He said Big Texan deserved to hold the title and is a stand-up man. He says Kowalski has no morals or fear. He said Kowalski used to be his lackey and says he will understand why he always second fiddle to him. Curt says we are looking at the next SICW Classic champ.
Curt says he's ready for a fight and ready to make his prey his victim. He says he taught Kowalski a lot of things he knew and said he has two shoulders - one for his belt and one for Kowalski's belt. He says he will be a 2x SICW Classic champ tonight.
Drew interviews Danny Boy Hawkins and Ron Powers about the coward waves the flag match. Danny says he will not surrender and says they will have to kill him to make him surrender. He says there's a huge coward in this promotion and it's Stephen E. He says they will put him down.
Ron says glory walks hand and hand with Doom. Ron says Danny has Gary Jackson's back in the flag match. He says they know they are the underdogs. He says they've gotten the crap beaten out of them before but they stood up before. Ron says they will come to the match with a plan and says they will have a big surprise. Ron says Haku will never find anyone with more tenacity and guts. He says he doesn't care if Haku fought Orndorff or Hulk Hogan, he never fought them.
"Roughcut" Rick Ruby vs Bobby D
Bob grabs the leg but takes a coconut crush. Bob side headlocks him then Ruby backdrops him. Ruby clubs on him and bangs his head off the buckles. Ruby hits some shots then eye rakes him after they trade. Ruby back elbows him and elbow drops him for 2.
Ruby chokes him on the ropes with his leg. Ruby misses a legdrop and Bobby low lariats him. Bobby then crossfaces him and taps him out with it.
Thoughts: It wasn't that good and Bobby won as expected.
Destiny Lynch interviews Stephen E. E says Destiny is showing too much skin and needs to cover her face like Lillith Khan. E says everyone knows they aren't cowards. He says he is not waving the flag. He calls Gary Jackson a bum and says he will lay bloody in the ring if nobody waves the flag. He says they will walk out with their hands held high in the coward waves the flag match. He says he won't wave the flag if Atila Khan is bleeding or if his back is broken. He says all hell breaks out at the show.

Curt step up enzugiri's Kowalski. Kowalski corner splashes him. Kowalski headbutt drops him. Curt hits some punches and elbows him in the head. Kurt hits a spear. Larson gets on the apron. Kowalski grabs a tire iron and hits Curt with it. Kowalski then pins Curt.
Thoughts: They moved around pretty well here and made it looked like they were going at it. Curtis showed some good fire and threw some good punches here as usual. I was fine with this one.
Overall thoughts: There was nothing must see here. I liked 2 of the 4 matches. The cage match had some bad logic to it but Trent and Bobby D took some good bumps in it. It was also nice to see something from a live event since anyone not in the area really only gets to see the build to the show only. The main was easily my favorite match of the night. It was an okay hour of wrestling here for SICW standards.
