Joseph Von Jager defeats "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop by disqualification upon referee's reversal of Ben Bishop's pinfall win.
"Big Trouble" Ben Bishop was one angry giant while making his return to WCPW® for the 1st time in 6 months since losing the Championship! "The Suburban German" Joseph Von Jager found himself not only in a classic David vs Goliath setting but also on the end of Bishop's wrath through no fault his own. Von Jager used his speed and high flying against the 6'12 former WCPW® Champion but in the end, Bishop hit an 8 and a half foot tall chokeslam to score the pin on Von Jager. This wasn't enough for Bishop who beat down Von Jager mercilessly. Until Redus Atlas had seen enough and cleared the ring of "Big Trouble".
Redus Atlas scores the pin against Joseph Von Jager!
Redus Atlas has quickly gained a reputation in WCPW® as a very honorable competitor, trying to see the good in his opponents. When Atlas saw that Bishop did not give Von Jager an opportunity to showcase himself to new WCPW® Fans in what was supposed to be an exhibition match, Atlas challenged "The Suburban German" so they could showcase their talents together in a friendly exhibition bout.
The 2 exchanged a flurry of headlock takedowns, arm drags, go behinds and wristlocks before things heated up. Redus managed to outlast the young rookie and score the pinfall in a match that earned the respect for both gentlemen from the crowd.
However, Ben Bishop could not stand to see this and attacked both men after the match, throwing both of them out of the ring.
WCPW® Owner Bigtime® had seen enough and told Bishop that this show was supposed to be a series of exhibition matches for the 1st Annual HyVee Ribs & Rides event and the new fans that were seeing WCPW® for the first time. Bigtime® told the 6'12" giant "this isn't supposed to be The Ben Bishop Show with you involving yourself every match!" Bigtime® then told Bishop that since he can't stand to be outside of the spotlight, the main event would be Ben Bishop vs Redus Atlas!
"Big Trouble" Ben Bishop defeats Redus Atlas via pinfall!
This was a rematch of their September 2023 matchup. Atlas must've studied their 1st match quite a bit because he looked like he had Ben Bishop in "big trouble". Redus used his strength against the insanely strong Bishop but it was when he switched to his speed tactics that he was able to throw Bishop off balance. At the end of the match though, it was Bishop scoring the pinfall.
Having learned nothing from the 1st 2 matches, Bishop attacked Redus after the bell. This led to Joseph Von Jager returning the favor and trying to help Redus. Bishop got the upper hand on Von Jager and was beating down both he and Redus. WCPW® Owner Bigtime® grabbed a chair and came into the ring. Bishop turned around and asked "what the hell are you going to do old man? You didn't have luck the last time you tried to hit me with a chair! Here, I'll even give you a free shot!" Bishop turns his back to Bigtime® who rears back with the chair only to drop it and deliver a low blow from behind that bent the giant over! Joseph Von Jager came to his senses and fired off several right hands to rock the giant back. Redus Atlas grabbed the chair and clocked Bishop in the head with it, sending him out of the ring.
Bigtime®, Redus Atlas, Referee Miguel, and Joseph Von Jager raised each other's hands to the cheers and adulation of the crowd!
James Fury of The Natural Order had a lot of help from his teammates to overcome all 3 opponents to earn the 8th spot in The William Torrance Sr. Memorial Tournament!
Nate Bock entered this match with a predominantly hostile crowd against him. Brandon Nytroe's unconventional style of hip gyrations and spitting Bang Energy Drink all over the place, put Bock off balance for the majority of the match. However, Bock resorted to his bag of tricks and held the trunks to score the pinfall, ruining Nytroe's WCPW® debut, & advancing to the semi-finals!
Redus Atlas and Eric Jaxx both gave it their all in this hard fought battle. In the end, it was Redus Atlas coming out on top with the pinfall to advance to the semi-finals.
The Natural Order once again tried to turn a 1 on 1 bout into a 3 on 1 gang up! The crowd favorite Calvin Coco relied heavily upon his fans - The Coco Puffs - to warn him of where the sneak attacks were coming from. In the end, bad timing from The Natural Order caused James Fury to get hit with his own Tag Team Belt. Coco cleared the ring of Alexander Moss and Roddy Suavino, then climbed the rope and hit "The Coco Elbow" for the win to advance to the semi-finals. The Natural Order then attacked Coco after the match and severely injured his arm. Newcomers Athony Toatele and Erik Surge made the save & challenged The Natural Order for the Tag Team belts later in the show. Redus Atlas helped Coco to the locker room where he was checked out by medical staff.
"The Wild Heart" EJ Swanson and Nino Hatchet faced each other in both of their 2nd appearance in WCPW®. EJ used his speed to try to counter the strength of Hatchet. What EJ could not counter was the ruthlessness of Hatchet. Relentlessly attacking EJ's back, Hatchet locked in a camel clutch and bent EJ back in an unnatural angle until "The Wild Heart" had no choice but to tap out. Hatchet advanced to the semi's.
Something odd happened prior to the start of the Redus Atlas/Nate Bock semi-final match. The WCPW® Fans began to cheer Nate Bock. Both Bock and Atlas were confused by this. Redus, with the clear strength advantage did everything he could to hold Bock down for the 3 count but The Wildcard just refused to be pinned. As the hard fought match continued to go back and forth, the crowd was clearly split 50/50. Then out of nowhere, Bock managed to score a pinfall, both shocking and delighting the fans! Redus, realizing that the WCPW® Fans were showing Bock newfound respect, raised Bock's hand and endorsed him as he was set to head to the finals!
Against medical advice, Calvin Coco had his "Karate Kid" moment when he gutted it out to come down to the ring to face the dangerous Nino Hatchet. Coco put in a valiant effort but Hatchet showed no mercy and continuously attacked the injured arm of Coco. Calvin hung on for as long as he could once Nino locked in a vicious armbar but eventually tapped out so he could prevent permanent injury to his arm and fight another day. Hatchet advances to the finals to meet Nate Bock!
In the match that WCPW® voted as match of the night, The Natural Order's Alexander Moss and Roddy Suavino were pushed to their limits by the debuting "Flowin' Samoan" Anthony Toatele and "Da Bomb" Erik Surge! Moss and Suavino tried to take the easy way out and walk out of the match but Surge and Toatele followed them both and brawled through the locker room, through the lobby of The Sycamore Rec Center, and through the crowd. In the end, Suavino hit his finisher while Moss and Fury held Surge back from entering the ring, leading to a very lucky Natural Order win to retain the WCPW® Tag Team Championship!
The finals of The 1st Annual William Torrance Sr. Memorial Tournament saw the first time match up between Nate Bock and Nino Hatchet. In a bout that would've been unheard of just a few months earlier, now saw the cold hearted Nino Hatchet taking on a Nate Bock that was suddenly being cheered. Having a bit of an identity crisis, Bock seemed uncertain as to whether he should fight fire with fire whenever Hatchet broke the rules, but it seems that WCPW® Fans were willing to give Bock a pass so he could even the score! This match came to an end when Nate Bock went up top and executed one of the most perfect ankle grabbing frog splashes of all time! A 3 count later and Nate Bock becomes the 1st winner of The Big Bill Trophy!
Eric Jaxx returned to WCPW® after nearly 2 years and took it to the former WCPW® Champion. It wasn't long before "Mr. Windy City™" Damian Fenrir regained control and put away Jaxx with his finishing move for the pinfall!
2 newcomers to WCPW®, Suavino and Von Jager came to fight. However, Suavino got an unexpected assist from the newly reorganized Natural Order of James Fury and Alexander Moss. Von Jager could not overcome the 3 vs 1 situation, allowing Suavino to get the pin!
Newcomer EJ Swanson battled WCPW® Veteran Nate Bock in a hard hitting match. Bock was distracted several times when some of the WCPW® Fans started cheering for him. Bock rejected the adulation and managed to get the pinfall victory.
Nino Hatchet debuted in WCPW® and showed everyone that he was not afraid to do anything in order to win. Redus Atlas has faced underhanded opponents in Windy City™ before and knew how to overcome Hatchet's tricks! Atlas hit his finisher and got the pin.
In the shocker of the night, Eric Fallen turned on his Top Gunz partner Ryan Michaels and left him to get pinned by The Natural Order. James Fury and Alexander Moss became your new WCPW® Tag Team Champions!
Tobias Storm made his WCPW® debut against Calvin Coco and put forth an impressive showing. However, it was not enough to overcome the momentum of "The Modern Man" Calvin Coco who scored the pin and remains undefeated in WCPW®.
Richard Adonis challenged Fenrir earlier in the night after Fenrir destroyed all 3 WCPW® Referees. Adonis tore into Damian unlike anything we'd seen from him in their 2 previous matches. Damian showed the WCPW® Fans that his new attitude is for real and delivered 2 low blows to Adonis behind the Ref's back before hitting his finisher and pinning Adonis to become the first 2-Time WCPW® Champion!
Atlas came for revenge against Moss but was denied the satisfaction when Moss reached into his tights and pulled out a foreign object. While Atlas had Moss up in a suplex, Moss hit Atlas with the object, landed on top of him, and scored the 3 count!
Dubose and Coco battled for a WCPW® contract in front of Referee Miguel who was also auditioning for a WCPW® contract. Dubose was in control and looked to be moments away from putting pen to paper on his new contract until Coco got the pin out of nowhere!
WCPW® Owner Bigtime® gave Damian Fenrir his WCPW® Title rematch by announcing that the main event between Bishop and Adonis was now a 3-Way Dance! Bigtime made an impassioned plea to Fenrir to not turn his back on the fans but Fenrir attacked Bigtime and let the fans know that he was a "good guy" no more!
Lucas and Slater showed up to fight and try to take the Tag Titles away from The Top Gunz. It was The Gunz who came out on top of this hard fought battle to retain the WCPW® Tag Team Belts!
Women's Champion Ivelisse defended her Title against Ivy Malibu but this was not the same opponent that she had fought 6 weeks earlier. Ivy's new focus caught the Champ off guard, leading to an upset when Ivy pinned Ivelisse to become the new WCPW® Women's Champion!
Bock interrupted Diaz' "Coming In Clutch" talk show at the start of the night and attacked the host. Diaz challenged Bock and the match was a hard hitting, high flying match that pleased the crowd. In the end, Bock proved why he is called "The Wild Card" when he scored the pin on the debuting Diaz.
WCPW® Owner Bigtime® named himself special guest referee to try to keep the match fair. WCPW® Champ Bishop quickly put a stop to that and took out The Owner. Adonis, Fenrir, and Bishop wrestled a Match of the Year candidate of a match, taking out 2 more referees in the process. Bigtime® managed to recover and used the WCPW® Belt to knock Bishop through a table on the floor. Newly contracted referee Miguel, the 4th ref of the match, ran in and counted the pin when Adonis put Fenrir down for the count! Your new WCPW® Champion, Richard Adonis!

WCPW Owner "The American Dream Bigtime Rhodes" came out and explained how WCPW Champion "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop breaking his rib in September put "Hard Times" on Bigtime, his family, and DeKalb County! Ben Bishop and Alexander Moss came out and told Bigtime that Moss did not appreciate Bigtime having Moss arrested last month in order to keep him from attending the show. Moss also accused Bigtime of hiding behind his pretty boys, Damian Fenrir and "new pretty boy" Richard Adonis.
This brought out Adonis, who dismissed Moss and told Bishop that he wanted another shot at the WCPW Title because he pinned Bishop last month only to be cheated out of the belt. Bishop reminded Adonis that it took 3 people to even come close to winning his title last month and that Adonis would not be getting a rematch.
Out came Damian Fenrir who reminded everyone in the crowd and everyone in the ring, that he had beaten all 3 of them already, Adonis, Moss, and Bishop and if anyone deserved a title shot, it was him since he was cheated out of the belt and then never given a rematch.
Moss then attempted to get inside Damian's head by asking the crowd who they wanted to see get the title shot, Adonis or Fenrir and even though the crowd was torn 50/50, Moss played it up that Adonis won the fan poll and even the crowd was turning on Damian because Bigtime had replaced his golden pretty boy with the new pretty boy Richard Adonis.
Adonis turned the tables on Moss and said "you keep trying to play us against each other but it seems to me that you're awfully comfortable standing in Ben Bishop's big shadow since you're claiming to be so good but aren't asking for a title shot.
Bishop grabbed the mic and said "I see what you're doing but it's not going to work. You're not going to break apart The Natural Order and I am tired of listening to all this nonsense. We call the shots around here and I will pick my own opponent tonight and it won't be any of you!" Bishop and Moss then left.
Bigtime told everyone that an argument can be made for both Adonis and Fenrir getting a title shot and he might have to turn to the fans of Sycamore to help him decided. Bigtime told Damian to not listen to Moss because while Adonis may be called The Silver Snake, it was Alexander Moss who was the true serpent! Bigtime reminded Damian that he is the hero to all of the fans and to not worry because he will figure things out and do right by both Fenrir and Adonis, who then left the ring.
Bigtime was about to make other announcements when The WCPW Tag Team Champions, The Decks and Flex Connection, came out and rushed Bigtime into making the announcement that the main event tag team match between The D&F Connection and The Top Gunz was being cancelled due to Ryan Michaels being on a plane to go attend the funeral of a relative that had unfortunately passed away.
As Bigtime was about to cancel the main event, "The Hell Archer" Eric Fallen came out and challenged The Tag Team Champs to a Monster Bash Gauntlet Match. Fallen stated that he'd fight both champs in single's matches. If he beat both of them back to back, he'd take home the belts for The Top Gunz. Nate Bock then asked "well what if you lose?" Fallen then said that if he lost, The Top Gunz would leave WCPW forever!
Nate Bock said the only way they'd agree to that is if the match was extreme rules anything goes! Fallen accepted! Nate Bock stuck out his hand and Fallen shook it. Bock then spit in Fallen's face and ran out of the ring. Big Flex grabbed the mic and told Fallen to call up Ryan Michaels and tell him that when he gets back, he's going to have to attend another funeral!

Moss attempted to use a chair on Adonis during the match but the referee stopped him and took the chair outside of the ring. Moss attempted to grab another chair but Damian Fenrir stopped him. Moss then fell down and acted like Fenrir had hit him with the chair. When the referee re-entered the ring, he thought Fenrir used the chair on Moss and disqualified Adonis.Adonis confronted Fenrir, who explained what had happened. Damian grabbed the mic and told Adonis that since Adonis helped him and he tried to return the favor, how about they help each other and team up against Moss and Fury later tonight? Adonis shook Damian's hand and accepted the tag team match for later.
Match 3
Action Jackson defeated Sam Aljahmi by pinfall
Coming in Clutch with Jarett Diaz, the new WCPW talk show segment, debuted. Jarett Diaz introduced himself to the WCPW fans and told them that despite his leg being injured and him not being able to wrestle, he created this interview segment just so he could meet the fans of WCPW. He said that in all of his travels all over this Country, he shares locker rooms with other wrestlers and he keep hearing about a company called WCPW and how the fans in Sycamore IL were some of the best fans to perform in front of.
Jarett said that he was in the WCPW locker room and had been hearing whispers as to who Ben Bishop had picked for his WCPW Title defense for later in the night. Jarett then introduced Redus Atlas. Atlas sat down with Diaz, who started the interview off easy enough until he started asking the harder questions. Diaz wanted to know why Atlas was chosen to get a title shot in his first match in WCPW and whether he was in on things with Ben Bishop and The Natural Order. Redus assured Diaz and everyone in attendance that his integrity was not to be questioned and if Bishop thought that by picking Atlas was going to give him a night off in the ring, then Bishop made a mistake and has another thing coming.
Alexander Moss and Ben Bishop ran through the crowd and into the ring, attacking Redus Atlas as Diaz backed up into the corner in his leg brace. Bishop hit a big head butt on Atlas and he backed up into Moss delivering a back cracker that bent Atlas in 2! Jarett Diaz picked up his unopened Arizona Ice Tea can and whacked Moss in the head with it, dropping Moss. Diaz threatened Bishop with it. Bishop laughed at Diaz and left the ring! Diaz then helped Atlas to the dressing room.
Match 4
"La Sicaria" Ivelisse pinned Ivy Malibu to win the vacant WCPW Women's Championship!

Match 5
Alexander Moss & James Fury defeated Damian Fenrir and Richard Adonis when Moss pinned Fenrir after Adonis accidentally DDT'd Fenrir!Near the end of the match, Moss threw a dark powder into the eyes of Richard Adonis, temporarily blinding him.

Still blinded and not knowing who grabbed him, Adonis hooked Fenrir and gave him a DDT. Moss threw the blinded Adonis out of the ring, hit his finisher on the dazed Fenrir and scored the pin.
Once Damian came to and Adonis was able to see, Damian confronted Adonis, who apologized profusely, explaining that he couldn't see that it was Damian. Fenrir was furious but managed to calm down and shake Adonis' hand. As Fenrir began to walk away, he doubled back and took Adonis' head off with a standing dropkick. The entire crowd gasped in shock.
Damian grabbed the mic and berated Adonis for costing him the match and coming into his company and taking his title shot. Damian told the fans that he was done being played by everyone and left the ring. WCPW Owner Bigtime rushed over to the entranceway and asked Fenrir why he was doing this. Fenrir pushed Bigtime across the Sycamore Rec Center and left!

WCPW Owner Bigtime came out to start the show and went on an absolute rant against WCPW Champion Big Trouble Ben Bishop! Bigtime called out Bishop, who tore into the WCPW Owner. The hatred between these 2 men cannot be recapped here because of too many expletives thrown at each other! The verbal confrontation soon turned physical. Bigtime attacked Bishop with a pipe and climbed to the top rope. Bishop grabbed Bigtime by the neck and threw him 20 feet across the gymnasium through the timekeeper's table below. Most of the locker room came to the ring to try to help the WCPW Owner but the WCPW Champion leveled each one and left. Bigtime was carried to the back, a broken and bloody mess!

Bigtime welcomed everyone to the show and let everyone know that he'd be the ring announcer for the evening. He made a few announcements, starting with the cancelation of the Tag Team Championship match due to Ryan Michaels being injured by an attack by unknown assailants. Bigtime also apologized for having to cancel the Women's Championship match. Despite finding an amazing talent to face Crystal Carmichael, Bigtime just couldn't stand to work with Crystal and paid her to stay home.
She didn't listen because she ended up coming in through the venue lobby and hopping the rail. Bigtime and Crystal exchanged insults and threats until "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop came into the ring from the crowd and confronted Bigtime. Crystal said "I told you you were gonna be in big trouble!"
Bishop ran down Bigtime's failure to deliver on the promises that were made to him at last September's "WCPW: The Champion!" Bishop said that he was there to get what he came for, the WCPW Championship!
Bigtime started to talk tough to Bishop but was grabbed by the throat and told "you can act tough with fat slobs and women but you're not pulling that crap with me". Bishop continued to choke Bigtime until WCPW Champion Damian "Air" Fenrir made the save with a missile dropkick from the top rope.
Bishop and Crystal left the ring and Damian accepted the challenge. Bigtime made the match official for the main event! Damian Fenrir vs Ben Bishop for the WCPW Championship!
Match 1
"The Absolute Truth" Alexander Moss defeats Adrian "Action" Jackson
After the match, Alexander Moss delivered some "truth" to WCPW fans. He said he was not impressed with Damian Fenrir. He said he was not impressed with this company. He said he was not impressed with Traxx. That comment got the attention of Traxx who came out and challenged Moss to a match later in the night. Moss said he wasn't going to do it because his payday envelope wasn't fat enough to wrestle twice in 1 night. Bigtime said he'd make the envelope fatter just to watch Traxx shut Moss' mouth and made the match for later in the night.
Bigtime pointed out that the Tag Team Championship was supposed to be Match 2 but now there would be a substitute match instead. Familiar music hit and out came Nate Bock & Big Flex. They got in Bigtime's face and said that Ryan Michaels wasn't jumped by 3 men. He was jumped by Nate Bock and Big Flex, who is as big as 2 men. Bock then told Bigtime that since nobody was here to fight for the tag team belts, then they should just be handed over to Bock and Flex. Bigtime said he'd give the belts to Royal Flavuh, who was supposed to be in the match, before he'd give them to Bock/Flex. Bock asked Bigtime "why do you think Flavuh is not here? We took care of them too!"
This brought out "The Hell Archer" Eric Fallen who said he was there to get a receipt and said the tag team championship match was still on because he was going to beat their a$$es without a partner! Bigtime tried to talk Fallen out of it but Fallen put Bigtime in the corner and demanded the match be started. Bock & Flex attacked Fallen and the match began.
Match 2
Nate Bock & Big Flex defeated Eric Fallen to win the WCPW Tag Team Championship!
Match 3
"The Absolute Truth" handed Traxx his first loss in WCPW with the help of a timely distraction from "Big Trouble" Ben Bishop and a low blow.
After the match Alexander Moss, who came down to the ring showing off the fat envelope that he received from Bigtime, handed it to Ben Bishop. It became obvious that Moss took advantage of the fact that Bishop had not forgotten about Traxx chasing him out of the ring back in September at WCPW: The Champion!
Match 4
"Summer Time" Deon Summerz defeated "The Adonis" Richard King
Match 5
Crystal Carmichael wins the WCPW Women's Championship via forfeit when "Electric" Lesley Metro no shows!
Bigtime was very proud of the fact that he had booked an extremely accomplished yet little known wrestler to take on Crystal. He gleefully announced "Electric" Lesley Metro but she didn't come out. She was announced again. She didn't come out. She was announced a 3rd time, when Ben Bishop came out instead. He walked up the isle saying "she's not coming!". Crystal started laughing and Bigtime realized what they had done. He said "I don't care what you think you pulled off here but it's not going down this way!" Bigtime went to take the belt from the referee but the ref said that based on the language in the contract, he had no choice but to declare Crystal the champion due to forfeit and that he didn't want to get stuck in the middle of this because he didn't want to get sued. The referee declared Crystal the new champion and put the belt around her waist.
Match 6
"The Celtic Mercenary" Thomas Bailey defeated "The Reaper of Reality" Devon Ryker
Match 7
"Big Trouble" Ben Bishop defeats "Damian "Air" Fenrir to become WCPW Champion!
Damian had the match under control despite constant interference from Crystal Carmichael. Late in the match, Damian dove over the top rope onto Bishop but hit the back of his head on the floor of the venue. This dazed Fenrir enough for Bishop to regain control of the match. It looked like it was over for the Champ but Fenrir made a comeback. Until Crystal distracted the referee which allowed Alexander moss to attack Fenrir. By the time the ref turned around, Moss was nowhere to be seen. Bishop picked up Fenrir and hit his finisher. 1....2....3....NEW WCPW CHAMPION!
Bishop, Crystal, and Moss began a 3 on 1 attack of Fenrir. Bigtime grabbed a chair and like so many times before, swung his equalizer! This time at the massive back of the 6 foot 12 inch Ben Bishop! Unlike so many times before, this time the chair did nothing! Bishop turned around and leveled the WCPW Owner with a giant sized boot to the face!
Moss, Crystal, and Bishop then attacked Bigtime 3 on 1. This brought out Traxx who went straight for Bishop and took him down. Traxx fired off several massive clubbing blows until Crystal came from behind and gouged his eyes. Crystal, Moss and Bishop then attacked Bigtime, Traxx, and Fenrir, throwing each of them out of the ring!
Crystal grabbed the mic and declared Ben Bishop the new WCPW Champion! Bishop grabbed the mic and told the WCPW audience that him and his 2 friends are The Natural Order!
Folks, The Natural Order has arrived!

The Show started off with new WCPW Champion Damian "Air" Fenrir coming to the ring to thank the fans for their support as well as to thank Traxx for having his back at WCPW: The Champion! Damian called Traxx to the ring where he told him that he respects him and to show appreciation, as well as challenge himself against the best, he was offering Traxx the 1st shot at the WCPW Championship in the main event. Traxx accepted and shook hands with Damian. Out came WCPW newcomer Freedom Ramsey to let everyone know that he had a problem with being overlooked and the 1st shot at the title being given to a guy who only wrestled one match in WCPW. Traxx quickly pointed out that Ramsey hadn't even wrestled one match yet. Ramsey said they could change that and challenged Damian for the title. This brought out The Wildcard from the West Coast, Nate Bock. He made it clear that he's been overlooked in WCPW since day one and that he's had more matches in WCPW than Traxx and Ramsey combined. Nate Bock challenged Damian for the belt. After a tense back and forth between all 4 men, Traxx told Damian that as long as Damian gave Traxx his word that Damian would still honor his title shot, then Damian should kick Nate Bock's a$$ tonight while Traxx taught Ramsey some respect. Everyone agreed and the 2 matches were set.
Match 1
Traxx defeated Freedom Ramsey
WCPW® Owner Bigtime® came out to address the fans and thank them for supporting him during his family crisis. Bigtime® told the crowd that his mind wasn't in the right place tonight and all he wanted to do was sit among his fans, meet them, try to have fun and sing some karaoke like last time! Before Bigtime® could do any of that, referee Cody Hughes made his way to the ring and told Bigtime® that he quit. Bigtime accepted the resignation and said "OK, we'll miss you". Cody made it clear to Bigtime that he wasn't quitting the company, he was quitting as the referee and now wanted to wrestle. Bigtime said that he respected Cody and cared about him and didn't want to see him get hurt by the much bigger talent in his company, so he refused Cody's request. Cody said that if Bigtime didn't think he'd stand a chance against anyone in the back, then Bigtime should put on a pair of tights and he'd show Bigtime exactly what he could do. The crowd wanted to see Cody vs Bigtime and the WCPW® nearly gave them the match but he calmed down and said there was a better way to handle this. He turned to the crowd and asked if they wanted to see Cody get an opportunity to wrestle for WCPW®. The crowd overwhelmingly approved. Bigtime® told Cody that since he doesn't have a cruiserweight division in WCPW, he'd have to make a few phone calls to find him an opponent for the night and told Cody that if he had some gear, go to the locker room and gear up!
Bigtime® pointed out that every show he's tried to leave the ring, someone always interrupts him so he was going to leave now before it happened again. Sure enough, he was interrupted by the returning Original Diva and former WCPW Ladies Champion Crystal Carmichael. Crystal let everyone know that she was not going to stand for Bigtime® trying to humiliate her like he's tried to do for 23 years. She also let everyone know that out of everyone Bigtime has taken to court, she is the only one to beat him and now she was back with the WCPW contract that she was cheated out of 5 years earlier. Crystal told Bigtime that she also signed a managerial contract and that while her guy wasn't here tonight, he would be on July 15th. Bigtime® was not in the mood for his decades long rival and told her "Crystal, you're like herpes. You go away from years and then out of nowhere, this irritation just pops up!" Bigtime® went off on Crystal, telling her that she's always been her own worst enemy and as beautiful and talented as she is, she's been a pain in the ass to everyone she's ever met and that it must kill her watching Jade Cargill every Wednesday night on AEW because deep down Crystal knows that spot could've been hers if she had a better attitude! Bigtime® tried to leave and Crystal pulled him back in, saying that she wasn't done talking to him yet. Crystal said that she read online that WCPW had created a new Women's Championship and she was back in WCPW to take everything that was rightfully hers. She promised that she was going to turn Bigtime's® Windy City dream into his Windy City nightmare! Bigtime® went to leave again and Crystal said "that's right, run home to your Mommy. If I had a Son like you, I'd be laying up in the hospital trying to croak too!"
Bigtime stopped in his tracks, took off his vest, came back into the ring where Crystal dropped him with a back elbow. Crystal then picked up the 240 lb. WCPW® Owner and body slammed him to everyone's shock. Crystal unleashed a flurry of punches, kicks, and stomps, and charged Bigtime® who had managed to get to the corner. Bigtime lifted both feet and kicked Crystal right in her chi chi's! The WCPW® Owner dropped her with 2 right hands, picked her up, whipped her into the ropes to deliver a big boot but Crystal hung onto the top rope and escaped the ring. Crystal screamed at Bigtime® all the way to the back, saying that he and all of WCPW were in big trouble!
Match 2
Sam Aljahmi defeated Eric Jackson
Match 3
Cody Hughes defeated Martian Webb
The debuting Lucha Punk Gran Trueno and James Fury came to the ring and cut a scathing promo on the fans of WCPW and everything about the Windy City before they issued an open challenge, saying they wanted to be the first to wear the new WCPW Tag Team Championship Belts. This brought out The Top Gunz!
Match 4
The Top Gunz defeated James Fury and Gran Trueno who decided to take a walk from the beating they were receiving and simply leave the match, getting counted out.
Post Match, Ryan Michaels got on the mic and expressed how angry he was that Fury and Trueno turned out to be such cowards. Michaels said that he and his partner Eric Fallen have taken on all comers since debuting in WCPW® and they always show up for competition because they want championship gold! This brought out Bigtime® who shook their hands and said that they were both absolutely right. Bigtime® said that he had never booked any talent in his life where their opponents kept cancelling once they found out who they were working. Bigtime listed The Qrown and Da Russell Twins who both accepted matches with The Top Gunz only to back out before the matches could happen. Bigtime® assured The Top Gunz that on July 15th, they are the #1 contenders to the WCPW® Tag Team Championship and that he'd get them a top contender team to face and the match will determine the new WCPW Tag Team Champions!
The Tops Gunz left the ring and Bigtime®then addressed Crystal who was still at her merchandise table. Bigtime® unveiled the new WCPW Women's Title and told Crystal to bring her work boots on July 15th because he was getting her an opponent to wrestle and the winner will become the new WCPW Women's Champion!
Match 5
Damian Fenrir defeats Nate Bock
The WCPW® Champion wanted to be a fighting champion and give opportunities to everyone who deserves them. While the WCPW Champion didn't feel that Nate Bock was deserving so much as in need of a lesson in respect, "The Wild Card from the West Coast" quickly proved that he was more deserving than anyone in that building thought he was. While the WCPW Champion maintained control, Nate Bock proved that he could go toe to toe, move for move with the champion. Bock may not be likeable but after tonight he proved just how talented he was and that he should never be overlooked again. While this kind of surprise would've thrown off most Champions trying to defend their title, Damian "Air" Fenrir proved exactly why he is the WCPW Champion by adapting on the fly and overcoming a challenge out of nowhere! Both men impressed the WCPW crowd in attendance.
After the match, Damian extended his hand to Bock and told him, that he had earned the Champs respect as well as the crowd's and that it was time that Bock showed him the proper respect and shake his hand like a man. Bock asked the crowd if they wanted to see that happen. The crowd said yes. So Bock walked up to Damian and slapped his hand away before leaving the ring. The WCPW Champion called for his music to be played and ended the night celebrating with his fans to end the show!
Ben Bishop proved to be "Big Trouble" in his WCPW debut for Damian Fenrir but The Miami Marvel surprised the 6'12 giant with a small package for the win to advance to the WCPW Championship Final!
Dave Stage put in a great showing in his WCPW debut against David Ali. However, "The Gimmick Destroyer" found out that "The Savior" is no gimmick when David Ali pulled off the victory to advance to the WCPW Championship Final!
Heather Monroe and Laynie Luck put on a wrestling clinic in their debuts inside a WCPW ring! In the end, Heather Monroe got the pinfall with a DDT out of nowhere!
In a brawl for the ages, Gavin Alexander used Bigtime's temper against him to get the win by disqualification! Gavin earned his WCPW Contract but Bigtime got the last laugh as it was a contract to be the company's new Janitor!
Nate Bock came looking for revenge against Eric Fallen & brought "Big Flex" with him! After a hard fought back and forth match with both teams impressing the crowd, it was The Top Gunz, Ryan Michaels and Eric Fallen standing tall with the win!
Lakay challenged Traxx on the spot and the 2 bulls tore into each other, matching power for power. In a match that saw nearly 500 lbs of pure muscle go at it in their WCPW debuts, Traxx caught Lakay with an underhook DDT and scored the pinfall!
In a match where both competitors would've been worthy Champions, David Ali and Damian Fenrir met in the main event for the 2nd show in a row. The difference this time is that the WCPW Championship was on the line! Their 2nd match was as instant a classic as their 1st and the best feud in Indie Wrestling saw Damian Fenrir overcome a leg injury to surprise Ali for the victory, coming away as the 1st WCPW Champion!
"The Wildcard From The West Coast" Nate Bock frustrated "Weapon X" Eric Fallen but in the end it was Eric Fallen standing with his arm raised in victory!
In a match that pitted 2 of Canada's best against each other in a 1st time match up, "The King of the Indies" Ryan Michaels managed to surprise "D-Town" Dallas Kyle for the win!
Zae Alexander and Eric Jackson of The Essence used their speed but came up short against the bigger, stronger Maximus and Leonis Khan of The Qrown!
Stunt Marshall, in his 2nd match with WCPW, pulled out the win against the debuting "Tactician" Eric Jaxx!
"The Miami Marvel" Damian Fenrir brawled all over the arena against "The Savior" David Ali, ending in a double disqualification!
In an exciting opening match, Eric Jackson used a perfectly executed Fisherman's Suplex to get the win over Alex Taylor!
In a battle of two very charismatic stars, Stunt Marshall delivered a sloppy pin attempt that led to Deon Summerz reversing it and getting the win!
The Athlete took on Luke Kurtis for the very first time and ended up being distracted by Leila Grey. Kurtis took advantage and got the pin, proving that when it comes to cheating, he is in fact CERTIFIED!
The Leila Grey/Tiffany Nieves feud came to WCPW and despite an impressive performance by both Women, the feud remains unsettled!
Leila Grey had help from Certitifed Luke Kurtis, who distracted Tiffany long enough for Leila to get the cheap win. However, Damian Fenrir came to ringside and made the referee aware of what took place. The referee reversed his decision and declared Tiffany Nieves the winner by disqualification.
Damian Fenrir and Fable Jake pummeled each other like the two heavyweights they are. Both big men showed the crowd that not only were they big, but they were agile big men! After a hard fought back and forth, Luke Kurtis and Leila Grey came down to ringside to get revenge on Damian for interfering in their business earlier. While Leila distracted the referee, Luke delivered a superkick that rocked Damian's chin. This allowed Fable Jake to hit his finisher and get the pin.
WCPW fans were treated not only to an OVW Championship defense but also a rock concert put on by the entertaining OVW Champ Ryan Howe! If the concert wasn't enough to frustrate The Tamilian, the fact that he was soundly outwrestled by Ryan Howe did the trick. Tamilian Vineesh ended up grabbing a chair to hit Ryan Howe in an attempt to steal the OVW Title from the champ. This led to WCPW Owner Bigtime getting into the ring and taking the chair away from Vineesh. The Tamilian was infuriated and delivered a giant claymore kick to Bigtime's face! Ryan Howe fought back but was dropped by a low blow from Vineesh. While he was celebrating his dirty deed, Bigtime came back into the ring and returned the favor with a low blow of his own. Ryan Howe recovered and hit his finisher to get the pin and retain the OVW Championship!
WCPW Head of Guest Relations Terry Hopper came out and welcomed everyone to the first WCPW show in 8 years! Mr. Hopper proceeded to introduce new WCPW Owner Bigtime. Bigtime shook hands with everyone at ringside. When he got into the ring, he explained to everyone exactly why it meant so much to him to bring back WCPW and to be standing inside of a WCPW ring for the first time in 17 years.
Bigtime then brought out all of the competitors of the evening so that Bigtime and the crowd could meet them for the first time together. Everyone competing for a WCPW contract that night, introduced themselves. Bigtime told them that all of them were brought to WCPW because they looked the part, acted the part, and anyone of them would make a proud addition to the legacy of WCPW. Bigtime reminded them that just because he may respect their talents, that doesn't mean he respects them because just like their WCPW contract, the respect has to be earned in WCPW! The competitors went back to the locker room to prepare for their matches.
Bigtime then brought out Crystal, who looked like a million dollars in Blue and Yellow. After a brief history of the issues between Bigtime and Crystal of nearly 2 decades ago, Bigtime revealed to Crystal that he didn't just bring her to the show to stand around and look pretty but that she also had to compete for a contract. Crystal reminded everyone that she is a former WCPW Women's Champion and doesn't need to prove herself to anyone, especially Bigtime. She got in Bigtime's face and said that he may have been Bigtime once upon a time but everyone looking at him could see that he's Bigtime no more. She told him that he's out of shape and she'd kick his butt! Bigtime told her that if she wanted the old Bigtime, he's not that hard to find. Crystal then asked if he was still in there somewhere and slapped the glasses off Bigtime's face. Bigtime picked up his glasses and put them back on, only to have Crystal slap them off his face once again. She repeatedly asked him "is the old Bigtime in there now?". Crystal went for a 3rd slap but Bigtime grabbed her wrist and told her not to count on him to not hit a lady because everyone looking at her can see that she's no lady! Bigtime then revealed that Crystal would be fighting former TNA/IMPACT Knockout Amanda Rodriguez in the main event. Amanda came to the ring and got in Crystal's face. Crystal threw a tantrum and left.
Match 1
No Limits Mike Cobb defeated Brian Valor in spite of multiple outside interference attempts by Valor's partner The Real Taylor Alex Taylor.
Match 2
Lennox Norris defeated Rockstar Ryan Howe. Angry at the constant interruptions by Howe's acoustic guitar playing talents, Lennox tried to destroy the talented hands of Howe and eventually got the 3 count. Howe had been examined by WCPW doctors and will soon be playing to the fans again.
Match 3
The match between The Prodigy Anthony Taylor and The Real Taylor Alex Taylor was declared a no contest by WCPW head official Charles due to outside interference by Alex's tag partner Brian Valor. Mike Cobb eventually came from the locker room to help out Anthony Taylor. Since there was no winner to claim the WCPW contract, Bigtime sanctioned a tag match between the 4 men to take place later in the show.
Match 4
As Bigtime was addressing the crowd, someone entered the venue and jumped the guardrail demanding the microphone. It was Roy "Flash" Gordon from the Chicago area. He expressed his displeasure that no one would take his calls because he was dialing from the 312 area code. How can a WCPW show be void of any wrestlers from the Chicago area? Bigtime obliged and called Immaculate Mike Micas to the ring. Micas was just coming off a WWE tour and a stint at NXT. It was a hard fought fight but Micas got the three count. Flash, however earned the admiration of the Chicago crowd and the notice of Bigtime.
Match 5
The challenge tag match set an evenly balanced two on two and saw the team of Anthony Taylor/Mike Cobb earn the contracts over Alex Taylor/Brian Valor when Anthony Taylor pinned Brian Valor for the 3-count.
Bigtime called all the contract winners to the ring for a photo op. Mike Cobb, Anthony Taylor, Mike Micas and Lennox Norris. This did not go over well with Brian Valor and Alex Taylor who interrupted the Kodak moment only to receive a stereo super kick from Cobb and Anthony Taylor, adding injury to insult.
Match 6
Amanda Rodriguez pinned Crystal White. Once the match began, Crystal saw Bigtime in the crowd as he was once again thanking the fans for showing up. She began taunting Bigtime about slapping him earlier. This led to Bigtime sitting ringside to watch the match. Rodriguez took advantage of Crystal's obvious distraction to take the early advantage. Crystal being the veteran that she is, changed the tide of the match with a big belly to back suplex though. Rodriguez was in trouble but Crystal made the mistake of focusing on Bigtime at ringside. Rodriguez took advantage again and went for a double underhook but the chiseled Crystal hit a back body drop to counter. Crystal once again taunted Bigtime and even shot her hair ribbon at him. Crystal hit the ropes to go after Rodriguez but Bigtime hooked her leg and stumbled her, allowing Rodriguez to catch Crystal with a cradle pin for the 1,2,3. Rodriguez celebrated as Crystal chased Bigtime back to the dressing room.
Terry Hopper thanked the crowd for attending the show and the crowd gave a standing ovation for the return of WCPW.
