00:00:00...inaugural MLP Canadian Tag Team Champions.
00:00:03Their opponents at a combined weight of 512 pounds.
00:00:08They are representing MLP, and they are the MLP Canadian Tag Team Champions.
00:00:17Luke Gallows, the Machine Gun, Carl Anderson, the Good Brothers.
00:00:27Anderson on the left, Gallows on the right, and last night, the Good Brothers put in the work.
00:00:34A beautiful gunstun there, Carl Anderson, delivering neckbreakers like they were going out of style.
00:00:41Ultimately, the miscommunication gave me a dire lead to the Magic Killer,
00:00:46and the Good Brothers making history here at Windsor.
00:00:52Beautiful title belts here, the Tag Team Champions of MLP.
00:00:58And what a momentous occasion last night to end the Global War,
00:01:04the night that MLP announcing the television deal with TSN here in Canada,
00:01:09the first Canadian promotion to air nationally since 1989, all across Canada.
00:01:18And I'm hoping we get it down to the state too, Don.
00:01:20What a course.
00:01:23Tremendous organization.
00:01:25You see, Sheldon Jean ready to go.
00:01:30Carl Anderson.
00:01:33And it's going to be interesting.
00:01:34We talked about it with Big Al.
00:01:36We talked about it with Taylor Rising.
00:01:39What is the impact on the bodies of the wrestlers that competed last night for Anderson and Gallows?
00:01:46They picked their spots well, were able to get a victory when the moment struck,
00:01:51and I think that was due to veteran presence, but still took some heavy shots in that bout as well.
00:01:55Oh, for sure.
00:01:56But the experience you mentioned, I mean, the Good Brothers have been there, done that.
00:02:00Ever in the world where there's real pro wrestling, these guys have been there and done it on top.
00:02:06So I think that experience, that gives them a mental edge in this match against the two younger guys.
00:02:15There's what it's all about, the Canadian Tag Team Championship.
00:02:21We talked about it last night.
00:02:23The Sharp Brothers who really, with Freddie Blassie and Ricky Dozen,
00:02:28put professional wrestling on the map in Japan together.
00:02:31Right here from Canada, great historic lineage of Canadian tag teams.
00:02:40Including Jacques and Ramon Rougeau.
00:02:42Oh!
00:02:43I like to say hello to my friend Ramon.
00:02:48As we see a collar and elbow tie up to start things off.
00:02:50Shelton Jean with machine gun.
00:02:52Carl Anderson, the first defense of the MLP Canadian Tag Team titles.
00:02:57Will it be the first and the last?
00:02:58Carl Anderson.
00:03:01Oh!
00:03:05You'll be hard-pressed to find a better and more complete wrestler than machine gun Carl Anderson, in my view.
00:03:12Well, really found his stride in the G1 a little over a decade ago as a singles wrestler.
00:03:19Shortly thereafter, pairing with Doc Gallows to form a tag team that's in over a decade, Don.
00:03:25How difficult is it for non-brother teams to form a bond like that?
00:03:29Well, these guys are closer than some actual biological brothers I know.
00:03:34I mean, they do everything together.
00:03:36They love being together.
00:03:38They never get tired of each other.
00:03:39I know I manage them in all-league wrestling.
00:03:42And they're great guys to be around.
00:03:44Oh!
00:03:46The knife head's chopping.
00:03:48And did they send you packing because you took a little too much money off the top, like the Takeshita
00:03:53t-shirts?
00:03:53More like we all had a little too much fun together, if you know what I'm talking about.
00:03:57These guys are great to hang out with, and they always deliver in the ring.
00:04:01You know, you say, hey, we need you to wrestle twice tonight.
00:04:03They'll go out and wrestle twice.
00:04:04No problem, Don.
00:04:06Very nice guys.
00:04:07Colorado time.
00:04:08Is that in Shinjuku?
00:04:10Or is that in Rapponga?
00:04:13Where are those places?
00:04:14Oh, look at that.
00:04:21Across the chest, Carl Anderson.
00:04:23Oh, my goodness, the comb machine gun for a reason.
00:04:27High impact blows.
00:04:30And look, Brent Banks, as you can see, is a well-proportioned, very athletic guy.
00:04:38But the experience of the Good Brothers is something to behold.
00:04:43And Doc Gallows in.
00:04:46Oh!
00:04:47Just popping the chest of blood vessels.
00:04:51Going from red to purple.
00:04:54Front face lock here.
00:04:56Gallows hit that nice jackhammer last night.
00:04:58Is he going to hit it here?
00:04:59He is.
00:05:01Nowhere to go for Banks.
00:05:05The blood rushing to the skull.
00:05:07Making him think about it.
00:05:11Banks needs to try to get a knee.
00:05:13Can't get it.
00:05:15Delivers a beautiful, picture-perfect vertical suplex.
00:05:20You see the pop blood vessels, almost the painting of the chest.
00:05:27And Banks almost rolling towards Sheldon Jean.
00:05:31Instead, it is Doc Gallows again.
00:05:34You'll be hard-pressed to find a tag team that understands all of the basics of tag team wrestling
00:05:42and implement them more so than the Good Brothers.
00:05:45Quick tag made.
00:05:47Carl Anderson back in.
00:05:48And Banks trying to get a headlock.
00:05:51Oh, gets it.
00:05:52Now into the corner.
00:05:52Tag made.
00:05:54Smart move there as Sheldon Jean, the legal man.
00:05:58And that couldn't have happened at a more opportune time, Don.
00:06:02Brent Banks really just hanging on for dear life at that point.
00:06:05Well, I mean, we're well over seven minutes, I think, into this match.
00:06:08And this is the first we've seen of the street corner savant, the sidewalk savant, Sheldon Jean.
00:06:15And that's a testament to the Good Brothers strategy.
00:06:18Not letting tags happen is important in tag team wrestling.
00:06:23Let me see a repeat, a sequel of what happened as the tag is made to Brent Banks as now
00:06:29Gallows unloading a Sheldon Jean.
00:06:35And just stalking.
00:06:39Gallows every bit of 6'7", 6'7 1⁄2.
00:06:43Pretty close to 300 pounds.
00:06:46But agile and strong.
00:06:51Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows, Gallows.
00:06:57And Jean, a team leg drop.
00:07:00The cover, leg hook, too.
00:07:02What I like about Gallows, every cover, Don, is nice and tight and snug.
00:07:06Very technically sound.
00:07:07I mean, he doesn't get the credit for it because his partner happens to be Carl Anderson.
00:07:12Oh, a jawbreaker there.
00:07:15And Jean makes the tag.
00:07:16Banks back in.
00:07:17Oh!
00:07:19We're blessed here in Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling because you've got two of the best big men in the sport.
00:07:25And Gallows and Bishop Dyer.
00:07:27Oh, I would agree with that.
00:07:27Nice double-axe handle there.
00:07:30And Banks finding an opportunity.
00:07:32Gallows now to the corner.
00:07:34But that is not the corner Gallows wants to find himself.
00:07:36A tag made.
00:07:38And it gives an opportunity for Banks and Jean to go to work.
00:07:47Oh, look at this.
00:07:48Just wrenching that knee.
00:07:50And that's one way to take down a giant, Don.
00:07:52Yeah, you want to go after knees and ankles and feet with big athletes.
00:07:57Oh.
00:07:59Those ligaments not supposed to go left and right.
00:08:02Fans, our tag team bout here tonight.
00:08:04Presented by Breath Consulting.
00:08:08Enhance, protect, and enjoy your wealth.
00:08:11Not like what Don Callis does to the clients of the Don Callis family.
00:08:15Oh!
00:08:17Big double clothesline.
00:08:18Don Callis.
00:08:21Dispatches the challengers.
00:08:22Needs to make a tag.
00:08:23To Machine God.
00:08:25Carl Anderson.
00:08:26Here it goes.
00:08:30And Anderson with a big back elbow.
00:08:33And Anderson looking shredded right now.
00:08:37Physically, mentally, perhaps the best Anderson's ever been.
00:08:41Carl Anderson was a stud in the famous G1 tournament many years ago.
00:08:46Got a lot of people talking.
00:08:47In better shape now, in my opinion.
00:08:49Oh, I would agree with that wholeheartedly.
00:08:51Leg hooks.
00:08:52Cover.
00:08:52Two.
00:08:53Wow.
00:08:55And it's Anderson swiping at Banks.
00:09:00Yeah, Sheldon Jean.
00:09:03Just being stalked here.
00:09:05Jean's got to be careful that he doesn't accidentally put himself on the corner of the Good Brothers.
00:09:08No wasted movement from Carl Anderson ever.
00:09:12Irish whip.
00:09:13Into the rope.
00:09:14Caught.
00:09:15Caught by Banks.
00:09:17A well-timed trip.
00:09:18Jean with a clothesline.
00:09:19Sending Anderson down.
00:09:21Can they capitalize here?
00:09:22He caught Anderson low, but Anderson smacked his head on the mat.
00:09:26Tag made.
00:09:27Banks back in.
00:09:30And Gene and Banks put together a sustained flurry.
00:09:34Well, that's been the issue.
00:09:36I mean, you can tell which team has been together for many years here.
00:09:41But Banks and Sheldon Jean have got youth on their side.
00:09:46And that does count for a lot, especially as the match goes longer.
00:09:49Oh, big back elbow, especially the blessing and the curse of experience is the cover here.
00:09:55One.
00:09:55Still one count.
00:09:56There's so much tape on the Good Brothers.
00:09:58The career cover.
00:09:59Well, I was going to say, this is not the first young promising team that has tried to get themselves
00:10:04over at the expense of the Good Brothers.
00:10:07Tag made.
00:10:08But on the flip side, just a few years into each of their careers, not much tape on how Gene
00:10:14and Banks work together.
00:10:17Could be an advantage.
00:10:18The element of surprise.
00:10:19Oh, just face washing with the point of that wrist.
00:10:21Tag made.
00:10:22I'm going to tell you something.
00:10:24A little inside information.
00:10:25The Good Brothers don't watch tape.
00:10:27They make people wrestle their match.
00:10:29And that's the key to their success.
00:10:31Oh, and Anderson sending Gene out.
00:10:33Ducks the clothes.
00:10:34Look at that breaker there.
00:10:35From the machine gun, Carl Anderson.
00:10:38Watching Carl Anderson be a professional wrestler is like watching great ballet.
00:10:43It's just perfect.
00:10:44And tag made.
00:10:46Doug Gallo.
00:10:47Look at this animal.
00:10:48Wow.
00:10:51D.O.C.
00:10:53Delivering those massive boots.
00:10:57Wow.
00:10:59Spinning kicks.
00:11:00We're going to miss on the ride.
00:11:01Wow.
00:11:02Some of the kick plants.
00:11:03Gene should be illegal to be that flexible at that size.
00:11:08But that's Doug Gallo.
00:11:10And Gallo's off the ropes.
00:11:13Whoa.
00:11:14Whoa.
00:11:16Two for one special on Gene.
00:11:20And Banks.
00:11:21Tag made back in.
00:11:23In comes Anderson.
00:11:24Maybe a little too quick, Donna.
00:11:26Anderson getting a full breather.
00:11:29Clothes line up and over.
00:11:31You were saying?
00:11:32Well, they stand corrected.
00:11:35Wow.
00:11:36Cannonball plot shot.
00:11:37Pretty incredible, really, right?
00:11:39Love it.
00:11:40And Anderson.
00:11:43Now Banks in the corner.
00:11:47Up knee.
00:11:48Oh.
00:11:49Gallo's running train.
00:11:51On Banks.
00:11:52And look at this.
00:11:54Reverse.
00:11:55Reverse magic killer.
00:11:57The net breaker.
00:11:58Two.
00:11:59Oh, come on.
00:12:03Wow.
00:12:05Banks.
00:12:06How did Banks kick out of that?
00:12:09Well, it may be academic now.
00:12:11Don Magic.
00:12:13Whoa.
00:12:15And Sheldon.
00:12:16Sheldon Gene in there.
00:12:18Banks caught Gallo's with a DDT on the way down.
00:12:22Oh.
00:12:23Irish whip.
00:12:24Off the ropes.
00:12:25That's the clothesline.
00:12:26No one home on the back fist.
00:12:29And Spive.
00:12:30Buster.
00:12:31Anderson style.
00:12:32Leg hook.
00:12:33Two and no.
00:12:38And what a fight this has been.
00:12:41MLP.
00:12:42Canadian Tag Team titles on the line.
00:12:45The Good Brothers making their first defense.
00:12:50Oh, we all know what's coming here.
00:12:53We do.
00:12:55The crosshair up.
00:12:58Loaded.
00:12:59Oh, God no.
00:13:00Great counter.
00:13:02Oh, double boots.
00:13:07And Carl Anderson now second over the outside.
00:13:09What?
00:13:09Wait a minute.
00:13:10What?
00:13:11Oh, Sheldon Gene with that title belt.
00:13:14And Doug Gallo's that huge thrust.
00:13:17Great idea.
00:13:18Poorly executed by Sheldon Gene.
00:13:19What is this?
00:13:20Banks.
00:13:21Banks with the belt.
00:13:23The goal's out of the safe.
00:13:25One.
00:13:26Two.
00:13:27And the check is cast.
00:13:28The new tag team champion.
00:13:31The winners of this match.
00:13:33And new MLP Canadian Tag Team Champions.
00:13:41Sheldon Gene and Brent Banks.
00:13:47A stunner at St. Clair Don.
00:13:52In the season of March Madness.
00:13:56Cinderella slipper fence.
00:13:59Banks and Gene.
00:14:01Captured the tag title.
00:14:03Just goes to show you, you never know what's going to take place on an MLP show.
00:14:10Incredible victory.
00:14:12And fans, as the new champs celebrate, we're going to head to Sam LaTurna, who's standing
00:14:17by with Giselle Shaw.
00:14:23Tonight, you put your Women's Canadian Championship on the line against Deanna Purrazzo.
00:14:27However, it was Purrazzo who beat you last night for...
00:14:32She what?
00:14:33Beat you?
00:14:35Yes.
00:14:36Yeah.
00:14:36She beat me in pure wrestling, Sam.
00:14:40I mean, you might as well have just told me that she beat me in a game of Connect Four.
00:14:45Pure wrestling is not pro wrestling.
00:14:50And as far as pro wrestling is concerned, I am the best that Canada has to offer, hence
00:14:55why I have the hardware to prove it.
00:14:57So yes, Deanna, you can be the queen of technicality.
00:15:01Because that is how you beat me.
00:15:03Through technicality.
00:15:05But I am the queen of Canadian wrestling.
00:15:09So tonight, I hope you're ready for some pro wrestling.
00:15:13Because I am going to break your arm, bitch.
00:15:18Well, that match happens next.
00:15:20But let's take a look at what did happen last night.
00:15:26Well, last night, it was a heck of a confrontation.
00:15:30Decided under the Ring of Honor Pure Rules champion, Deanna Purrazzo.
00:15:34Put her title on the line against MLB Women's Canadian Champion, Giselle Shaw.
00:15:39It was back and forth.
00:15:40Deanna coming in 11-0 under the Pure Rules and ROH.
00:15:43Had a decisive technical advantage.
00:15:46And continued to look for that Fujiwara arm bar throughout the bout.
00:15:51Giselle Shaw, a few well-timed counters.
00:15:53Some high-impact moves of her own.
00:15:56Swung the pendulum in the challenger's favor.
00:15:58Including a beautiful anarchist suplex.
00:16:01It was a swing and a miss.
00:16:02And when the match turned to more of a fight,
00:16:06the shock and awe put the momentum in the column of the challenger.
00:16:11Deanna Purrazzo, though, equipped with technicality.
00:16:14The spare locked in the Fujiwara.
00:16:17Giselle trying to counter, trying to fight.
00:16:19The second arm was grabbed.
00:16:21The Venus de Milo was cinched.
00:16:23Deanna Purrazzo left Global Wars last night as the Ring of Honor Pure Champion.
00:16:28Tonight, though, the MLB Canadian Women's Championship is on the line.
00:16:32And this time, Deanna Purrazzo will challenge for Shaw's title.
00:16:37It's a rematch with the MLB Women's title at stake.
00:16:46I met this woman when she was 18 years old,
00:16:49coming through the world-famous Monster Factory to compete.
00:16:52So proud to see her ascension globally as we take it to Bobby Cruz.
00:16:59Who will introduce our competitors once they reach the ring
00:17:02for this huge high-stakes championship bout.
00:17:06I love high-stakes.
00:17:08I mean, this is on the line, bad blood, two great performers,
00:17:12two great wrestlers that don't like each other.
00:17:14It doesn't get better than that, Ian.
00:17:16Well, and of course, these two very familiar with one another.
00:17:19Not only last night, but three and two record.
00:17:23Deanna Purrazzo with the slight edge.
00:17:25Each woman knowing each other inside and out.
00:17:28Absolutely.
00:17:28And I think it really is going to be a case of
00:17:31there's different rules tonight.
00:17:33And in Giselle Shaw's mind, there are no rules.
00:17:36Well, we shall see.
00:17:38Giselle Shaw
00:17:41made history
00:17:42becoming the inaugural MLB
00:17:45Women's Canadian Champion.
00:17:48Facing the inaugural
00:17:50Women's Jules Champion.
00:17:52Both barrier breakers.
00:17:54Both trailblazers.
00:17:57And both have a lot of bad blood for one another.
00:18:01This one's become personal.
00:18:04The rematch sign.
00:18:06Almost in record time, Don.
00:18:08It was 27 minutes last night from Bell
00:18:11to win the ink drive.
00:18:15When it's right, it's right, Ian.
00:18:19And here tonight, MLB Canadian Women's Championship
00:18:25on the line.
00:18:27Giselle Shaw, a lot to be proud of.
00:18:29But will pride come before the fall
00:18:31as we take it
00:18:34to our ring announcer,
00:18:36Bobby Cruz,

00:19:46Despite
00:19:47being from Windsor,
00:19:50Giselle Shaw
00:19:52hasn't made
00:19:53many friends
00:19:53in her hometown.
00:19:55Well, people are
00:19:56very jealous of Giselle.
00:19:58There's no question
00:19:58about that.
00:19:59And I mean,
00:20:00what I like is
00:20:01whatever happened
00:20:02in the past
00:20:03is the past
00:20:03because she's in here
00:20:05tonight like it's
00:20:06the first time
00:20:06they're wrestling
00:20:07full of confidence
00:20:09and ready to rock and roll.
00:20:10And Diana
00:20:11Porrazzo
00:20:11has an opportunity
00:20:13to add to her
00:20:15championship collection
00:20:16that began
00:20:17at Final Battle
00:20:192025.
00:20:21Let's go!
00:20:22Let's go!
00:20:23Let's go!
00:20:24Let's go!
00:20:24Let's go!
00:20:25Let's go!
00:20:25Let's go!
00:20:25Let's go!
00:20:25Let's go!
00:20:26Let's go!
00:20:26Let's go!
00:20:27Let's go!
00:20:31Let's go!
00:20:33Bring her opponents
00:20:33into rope breaks
00:20:34to maybe
00:20:35using almost
00:20:36a Jedi mind trick
00:20:37to get them
00:20:37to exhaust
00:20:38the rope breaks.
00:20:39Those rope breaks
00:20:39will break anything
00:20:41here tonight.
00:20:42Great exchange.
00:20:44Yeah,
00:20:45Dionna is well seasoned.
00:20:46I mean,
00:20:46she's a veteran.
00:20:48She's, of course,
00:20:49wrestles the Ring of Honor
00:20:50pure style
00:20:51but also
00:20:52is an experienced
00:20:53person in other styles.
00:20:55I think we'll see
00:20:56that tonight.
00:20:56I think the difference
00:20:57is Giselle Shaw
00:20:58is mean and nasty.
00:20:59I mean,
00:20:59let's just call it
00:21:00like it is.
00:21:04I've seen
00:21:04Dionna Perrazzo
00:21:05speak at those
00:21:06State Assembly
00:21:07hearings in New Jersey
00:21:08fighting for the kids
00:21:08of her hometown.
00:21:10She could be mean
00:21:10and nasty
00:21:11when the cause is right
00:21:12as well
00:21:12in the best way possible.
00:21:13Waist lock here.
00:21:15Side headlock
00:21:17exchange
00:21:17and it is Shaw
00:21:18and there's the
00:21:19mean and nasty
00:21:19now grabbing
00:21:20the head of hair
00:21:20as she punts down
00:21:21the knee
00:21:22collapsing it
00:21:23to grab a side headlock
00:21:24of her own for Shaw.
00:21:25I always thought
00:21:25if you have long hair
00:21:26in wrestling
00:21:27expect it to get pulled.
00:21:29Is that why
00:21:30you eventually
00:21:31shaved yours?
00:21:32Correct.
00:21:32Look at that.
00:21:34A nice ankle
00:21:35lock to the right side.
00:21:37Shaw
00:21:38breaking it up.
00:21:40Coming in shoulder.
00:21:41Oh, uh-oh.
00:21:42And that's that arm
00:21:42last night, Don.
00:21:44That the Venus de Milo
00:21:45was stitched in on
00:21:46that Fujiwara.
00:21:47Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:21:49Ouch.
00:21:49And that arm,
00:21:50that elbow,
00:21:51that shoulder
00:21:52is going to force Shaw
00:21:54to use her right.
00:21:55Oh, ho, ho.
00:21:57And there's a close fist,
00:21:58Don,
00:21:58which last night
00:22:00expressly prohibited.
00:22:02Well, she said
00:22:03she was going to use
00:22:04everything in her arsenal
00:22:06and she's doing that so far.
00:22:08And I think this is smart.
00:22:10Rough Dion up a little bit.
00:22:13And you don't often
00:22:14see that in the pure rules.
00:22:15I think athletes
00:22:15lose sight of it.
00:22:16I think they get
00:22:17spooked by the rules
00:22:18a little bit.
00:22:18Oh, look at that Fujiwara!
00:22:20And Shaw
00:22:21going to the ropes.
00:22:22No penalty for a rope break
00:22:24here, right, Ian?
00:22:25No, no penalties
00:22:26for rope breaks
00:22:27in our MLP
00:22:29Canadian Women's Championship
00:22:31rulebook.
00:22:32Unlike the pure rules,
00:22:34the on and out
00:22:34off the ropes,
00:22:35charging.
00:22:36Whoa, baseball slide there.
00:22:41And it is
00:22:45Perazzo
00:22:49who has the champion
00:22:51high across the chest.
00:22:55And, oh, Shaw
00:22:57fighting back.
00:22:58Delivers another chop there.
00:23:01And
00:23:02Perazzo.
00:23:04Oh, wow.
00:23:05Yeah, Deanna
00:23:06can mix it up.
00:23:07There's no question
00:23:07about that.
00:23:09And trying
00:23:09to smash the skull.
00:23:11Whoa!
00:23:12And it is Deanna
00:23:13who delivers the skull.
00:23:16Into the apron.
00:23:21I'm going to say
00:23:21this loud and clear,
00:23:22fans, MLP
00:23:23is a
00:23:25inclusive environment
00:23:26for everyone.
00:23:27Hate speech
00:23:27not tolerated
00:23:28here in MLP,
00:23:30Ring of Honor,
00:23:30AEW,
00:23:31name it.
00:23:32Oh!
00:23:33Unless it's me
00:23:34talking about you
00:23:35and what a jerk you are.
00:23:36Well, that's haterade.
00:23:37That's different.
00:23:38Oh, I love that.
00:23:38That's haterade
00:23:39from Don Callis.
00:23:40That's your personal
00:23:40brand of insults.
00:23:42But, Don,
00:23:42you never attack
00:23:43my ethnicity
00:23:45despite the fact
00:23:46you were surrounded
00:23:46by Paisanos
00:23:47last night.
00:23:52Giselle is in
00:23:53firm control
00:23:54here right now,
00:23:55Ian.
00:23:55Absolutely.
00:23:56Life is too short
00:23:57to hate.
00:23:58Oh, unless
00:23:58you are driven
00:24:00by passion
00:24:01to capture
00:24:02a championship
00:24:03like this bout.
00:24:05It is Giselle Shaw
00:24:07motivated.
00:24:11And I love it here.
00:24:14this championship bout
00:24:15presented by
00:24:16WFCU Credit Union.
00:24:19Where you belong,
00:24:20everyone belongs
00:24:22here in MLP.
00:24:23Let's get that message
00:24:24loud and clear
00:24:26as Giselle Shaw
00:24:28bringing Deanna
00:24:29inside of the rink.
00:24:32Leg hook one.
00:24:33It's the one count there.
00:24:35Imagine if you're
00:24:36Giselle Shaw,
00:24:37you know,
00:24:37you're the MLP
00:24:38women's champion
00:24:39and everyone today
00:24:41on the internet,
00:24:41everywhere you look,
00:24:42every coffee shop
00:24:43you go to,
00:24:44everyone's talking
00:24:45about Deanna Purrazzo
00:24:47has to make
00:24:48Giselle crazy.
00:24:49Well, certainly
00:24:51Giselle,
00:24:52who made history
00:24:53here,
00:24:54she becoming
00:24:55the first MLP
00:24:56Canadian women's champion.
00:24:58Tell you what,
00:24:59there was a lot of
00:24:59pressure heading
00:25:00into Global Wars
00:25:01too, Don.
00:25:01He was covered
00:25:02in Sports Illustrated,
00:25:03highlighting
00:25:04the All-Star
00:25:05commentary team,
00:25:06the huge championship
00:25:07bounce,
00:25:08and Purrazzo
00:25:09and Shaw
00:25:09certainly part of that.
00:25:11Oh, Lord.
00:25:11One of the main
00:25:12attractions here tonight.
00:25:13Top of the card,
00:25:15marquee attraction
00:25:16for Shaw,
00:25:17maybe the pressure's
00:25:17off a little bit
00:25:18now that she's
00:25:19defending her home turf
00:25:20instead of trying
00:25:21to capture new turf.
00:25:25Referee concerned
00:25:26with some justification
00:25:30about the state
00:25:31of the arm and shoulder
00:25:33of Deanna Purrazzo.
00:25:35And Shaw
00:25:36delivering a forearm there.
00:25:39And Shaw
00:25:41going corner
00:25:42to corner.
00:25:45Driving that running
00:25:46European uppercut.
00:25:47And again,
00:25:49not unlike your
00:25:49former charge,
00:25:50Kenny Omega down.
00:25:52Can we get through
00:25:53a broadcast
00:25:53without talking
00:25:54about Kenny Omega?
00:25:56Whoa!
00:25:57That's a high compliment
00:25:58and that was a high
00:25:59kick from Purrazzo.
00:26:01The wrist lock here.
00:26:03Whoa!
00:26:05Kenny Omega
00:26:06might be my favorite
00:26:07Canadian wrestler.
00:26:08Oh, you're making me
00:26:08sick right now.
00:26:09Purrazzo.
00:26:11The wrist lock here.
00:26:12Giselle Shaw
00:26:13making that case though
00:26:14as Canadian women's
00:26:15champion.
00:26:16Deanna Purrazzo
00:26:17looking to capture
00:26:18that title,
00:26:19bring it back
00:26:19across the border.
00:26:20Whoa!
00:26:21Shoulder to shoulder!
00:26:22And both women's
00:26:23shoulders.
00:26:26The pain radiating.
00:26:29What I love here
00:26:30is both women
00:26:31are trying to make
00:26:32it their match.
00:26:33Neither are entirely
00:26:34succeeding,
00:26:35which is why
00:26:36it's back and forth,
00:26:37which we love.
00:26:38Well, I think
00:26:40Deanna did a great job
00:26:41of taking Giselle
00:26:42out of her comfort zone
00:26:43last night.
00:26:43Giselle doing a little bit
00:26:44more in her column
00:26:46tonight.
00:26:46Giselle Shaw!
00:26:47Giselle Shaw!
00:26:48Giselle Shaw!
00:26:48Whoa!
00:26:50Giving up the shoulder
00:26:51and the skull there.
00:26:54That was impressive
00:26:55by Deanna.
00:26:57Breaking the grip
00:26:58of Giselle Shaw.
00:27:01And Don,
00:27:02we called it last night.
00:27:03Tonight,
00:27:04I think,
00:27:04might be exceeding
00:27:06the bar that was set
00:27:07by these two great athletes
00:27:08with the MLP
00:27:09Women's Canadian Championship
00:27:11on the line.
00:27:13Look at this
00:27:14sold-out crowd here.
00:27:16MLP uprising.
00:27:21And the forearm
00:27:23across the jaw.
00:27:24Deanna strikes again.
00:27:28But Shaw
00:27:30delivering the fist
00:27:31again, Don.
00:27:32Absolutely.
00:27:34Those fists
00:27:34prohibited last night.
00:27:35Not afraid to use them
00:27:36here tonight.
00:27:36Swing and miss
00:27:37on the clothesline.
00:27:38Oh!
00:27:38Deanna with a big clothesline.
00:27:40And another!
00:27:44And the challenger,
00:27:45that running knee lift,
00:27:46likes the side rush
00:27:47and gets it here!
00:27:49And wait a minute!
00:27:50Here we go!
00:27:51Fujiwara!
00:27:52Whoa!
00:27:53Giselle powers out of it!
00:27:55Deanna couldn't keep it locked in!
00:27:58Well, we talked about
00:27:59our great credit union sponsor.
00:28:00Those deposits
00:28:01into the shoulder
00:28:02of Deanna
00:28:03and the elbow
00:28:03preventing cover
00:28:05to the challenger
00:28:06from fully locking in
00:28:08on that Fujiwara.
00:28:14Deanna has switched
00:28:16the momentum here.
00:28:17Let's go!
00:28:19Let's go!
00:28:20Let's go!
00:28:21Let's go!
00:28:22Ooh, Deanna
00:28:23looking for that
00:28:24gotch-style piledriver.
00:28:26Giselle smartly
00:28:26sinking the hips.
00:28:28Beautiful simplicity there.
00:28:30Just bend down
00:28:31so she can't hook it.
00:28:32Oh, from both athletes
00:28:33this time, Deanna.
00:28:34Ooh, great job
00:28:35by Giselle.
00:28:36Now sending Deanna
00:28:37the challenger
00:28:38into the corner.
00:28:40It's
00:28:40Giselle!
00:28:43Giselle high up the arm
00:28:44and the shoulder.
00:28:46Front face lock here.
00:28:49And...
00:28:50And...
00:28:50Arcus suplex!
00:28:54Rolling through,
00:28:55leg hooks,
00:28:56cover!
00:28:56Two!
00:28:57I love the little details there.
00:28:59Don Giselle rolling
00:29:00Deanna away from the ropes.
00:29:01Fujiwara of her own here!
00:29:04And this variation
00:29:05of the Fujiwara!
00:29:06Great base!
00:29:07I love the base
00:29:08that Giselle has right now
00:29:10as she cranks back
00:29:11on that arm.
00:29:13And Deanna
00:29:14trying to power through it!
00:29:17Trying to get her grip
00:29:18and trying to fight through!
00:29:21Into a stack!
00:29:22Cover!
00:29:23Two!
00:29:24Defense into offense there
00:29:25as both athletes
00:29:25back to their feet
00:29:26with a spear!
00:29:27Shaw!
00:29:28Shaw with a spear!
00:29:30Two!
00:29:31No!
00:29:32Very smart by Deanna.
00:29:34She was in that arm bar
00:29:35and Giselle had one choice.
00:29:38Keep the arm bar
00:29:39and get pinned
00:29:39or let go of the arm bar.
00:29:40She let go of it
00:29:41but followed it up
00:29:42with a great spear.
00:29:44Almost cut Deanna in two.
00:29:46Well, this is the development
00:29:47and the evolution
00:29:48of Giselle Shaw.
00:29:50Giselle Shaw,
00:29:51six months ago,
00:29:52a year ago,
00:29:53might not have had
00:29:54the presence of mind
00:29:55to get right back
00:29:56and deliver that spear.
00:29:58But as Giselle Shaw
00:29:59has grown
00:30:00and developed
00:30:01into one of the great
00:30:02athletes in her sport,
00:30:04an incredible move
00:30:06and now gathering
00:30:07her composure,
00:30:08her breath,
00:30:08looking to hit
00:30:09the final shot
00:30:10to retain
00:30:11the MLP
00:30:12Canadian Women's title.
00:30:16And now Perching,
00:30:18the ROH
00:30:19Women's Pier champion
00:30:20up top.
00:30:22Giselle needs to
00:30:23continue to apply
00:30:24the pressure
00:30:25to Deanna Purrazzo.
00:30:28Shots to the skull,
00:30:29those close fists.
00:30:30In a pure match,
00:30:31you would have been
00:30:31disqualified by now.
00:30:32Who cares?
00:30:33It doesn't matter tonight.
00:30:34That's right.
00:30:36All the way up top.
00:30:38Uh-oh.
00:30:39Deanna.
00:30:40Whoa!
00:30:43Intensity rectioning up.
00:30:45The quick kick to the spine.
00:30:46Deanna Purrazzo.
00:30:48The blood boiling.
00:30:51Oh, Lord.
00:30:52You don't mess with a jersey girl.
00:30:55Purrazzo leg hook.
00:30:56Two.
00:30:57Oh.
00:30:58Head into the arm.
00:30:59The arm is caught.
00:31:00She's got it.
00:31:01She's got it.
00:31:02Champion's arm was caught
00:31:03on the kick out.
00:31:04Presence of mind of Purrazzo.
00:31:08Oh, look at this.
00:31:10All the way back.
00:31:11All the way back.
00:31:12Even.
00:31:13It's like a, it's like a...
00:31:15Fujiwara, but also with a hammerlock.
00:31:17Giselle gets the ropes.
00:31:21Giselle getting to the ropes.
00:31:24Great move by Giselle Shaw.
00:31:26Great ring awareness.
00:31:27Or she would have been looking at a submission, I believe.
00:31:31Oh, I think that's where Shaw has the advantage.
00:31:33Those long limbs.
00:31:35They can be caught easier from Purrazzo,
00:31:37but they can also get to the ropes faster.
00:31:43And Deanna trying to see if Shaw is fluent in Purrazzo here.
00:31:47The Firewoman's carry around the waist.
00:31:50Into the ropes.
00:31:51It is Shaw.
00:31:53Shaw, the ropes caught by Deanna.
00:31:56And that, whoa.
00:31:57How many times do you see Deanna go to the ropes, Don?
00:31:59Hardly ever.
00:31:59Great back elbow there by Giselle
00:32:01to the back of the neck of Deanna Purrazzo.
00:32:04Deanna smartly grabbing the rope
00:32:06and switching her positioning with Giselle.
00:32:08And both women locking wrists.
00:32:11Swing and a miss.
00:32:12And now the full Nelson.
00:32:14Shock and oh.
00:32:16That's the skull.
00:32:17The Purrazzo.
00:32:20Shaw with the cover.
00:32:25And again, going for the cover.
00:32:26I like this.
00:32:27Two.
00:32:28Great strategy there.
00:32:29Forcing Deanna to keep moving.
00:32:31The champion, too.
00:32:32Giselle gave up on that second pin attempt.
00:32:34I'm not sure why.
00:32:36Didn't like what she was feeling.
00:32:39And Shaw mounting Purrazzo.
00:32:43These closed fists again.
00:32:45Deanna might not know how to react to these, Don.
00:32:49Well, if she's smart, she'd cover up and try to get out of the ring.
00:32:52Because that's not a position you want to find yourself in 15 minutes into a match.
00:32:57Well, her last 12 bouts have been in pure rules, Don.
00:33:00It's crazy to think about.
00:33:0212 singles bouts in a row where your opponent can't do that.
00:33:05Oh!
00:33:06And having to respond to it.
00:33:09Yeah, Deanna is not someone to be trifled with.
00:33:12As you said, grew up tough in New Jersey.
00:33:15Oh!
00:33:16Slap for slap!
00:33:18Oh!
00:33:19Oh!
00:33:22Oh!
00:33:22Oh!
00:33:22Oh!
00:33:23Oh!
00:33:25Oh!
00:33:26Oh!
00:33:26Oh!
00:33:26Oh!
00:33:31Oh!
00:33:33Bergen County!
00:33:34Ladies and gentlemen!
00:33:36Oakland, New Jersey!
00:33:37They're going for the hair now!
00:33:41This is nasty, Ian.
00:33:43And this is why I don't mess with my mother-in-law, Don.
00:33:46This is...
00:33:46That's the Jersey fire!
00:33:48That's the Windsor fire!
00:33:53And two great athletes trying to find a different place on the dial,
00:33:57a different frequency than they've gone to before.
00:34:00Because both of them so evenly matched!
00:34:06Oh!
00:34:08And Shaw is rocked!
00:34:14This is a war of attrition right now, Ian.
00:34:17Who's going to back down?
00:34:18Both on spaghetti legs!
00:34:21Shaw!
00:34:22Perrazzo!
00:34:24Shaw!
00:34:24Shaw!
00:34:25Challenger!
00:34:25Champion!
00:34:26Back and forth!
00:34:27It's Perrazzo!
00:34:28Landing five in a row!
00:34:34Off the ropes like the lariat!
00:34:36Coming through!
00:34:37Back elbow!
00:34:38Shaw!
00:34:39Rattles the challenger!
00:34:40Gianna able to turn away from that!
00:34:42Oh!
00:34:43And follow with a great boot!
00:34:45Oh!
00:34:45Now off the ropes!
00:34:46It's Perrazzo!
00:34:47Who eats!
00:34:48That running jungle kick there!
00:34:50Oh!
00:34:51No!
00:34:51Ha ha ha!
00:34:52Ha ha ha!
00:34:54Ha ha ha!
00:35:09That damaged shoulder!
00:35:11The damaged shoulder of Perrazzo!
00:35:13Oh!
00:35:14Goodness!
00:35:16Wow!
00:35:17Shaw taking full advantage!
00:35:21Whoa!
00:35:24And now both...
00:35:26Both arms...
00:35:27Donch has got...
00:35:28Yeah!
00:35:28Perfect!
00:35:29Perfect!
00:35:29Jamming in there!
00:35:30No!
00:35:31No!
00:35:32And...
00:35:32Oh!
00:35:33The elbow's hand might be broken!
00:35:35That elbow might be snapped!
00:35:39That referee is out!
00:35:40And I mean he hasn't moved!
00:35:43Well that pump kick landing flush across the jaw of our official...
00:35:50And I...
00:35:51Don, I don't know.
00:35:53I think Shaw either sidestepped that.
00:35:55I'm not calling Shaw a cheater.
00:35:57May have intentionally directed that fire at the official!
00:36:01Quit gaslighting her!
00:36:04I...
00:36:04Now Don, I'm just...
00:36:06I didn't see it clearly!
00:36:08Of course!
00:36:08But it...
00:36:10You just get the feeling that's all...
00:36:13One...
00:36:13Two...
00:36:14Three...
00:36:15Oh!
00:36:15Caught!
00:36:16Caught!
00:36:18And that STF into the Fujiwara!
00:36:20But Deanna can't lock it in!
00:36:21The damage!
00:36:22The referee is out anyway!
00:36:25And Deanna can't move that left shoulder!
00:36:26It was damaged last night!
00:36:28Continues to be damaged tonight!
00:36:29And Shaw...
00:36:30Trying to get to the ropes in the ultimate irony!
00:36:33The Venus to Milo!
00:36:34Oh my god!
00:36:35Brutal!
00:36:36She's lost one though!
00:36:37Great counter!
00:36:38Wait a minute!
00:36:38Back to the counter!
00:36:39On the Fujiwara!
00:36:40Fujiwara locked in!
00:36:42Wretched in!
00:36:43Shaw in trouble!
00:36:44Shaw!
00:36:45Shaw's gonna tap!
00:36:46But the referee's not gonna see it!
00:36:48The referee's not gonna see it!
00:36:51Deanna has no idea the official didn't see the tap!
00:36:53Let's go !
00:36:57Looks like Deanna realizing now...
00:36:59That victory has not been declared!
00:37:03Wake up doofus!
00:37:05As Deanna,
00:37:07that left arm hanging by Bone and Cino!
00:37:09Looking for that guck style pile driver!
00:37:13Hands, the fingers locked...
00:37:14Shaw dropping down!
00:37:15Deanna's got nothing left in that left arm Don!
00:37:19No, she's done. I mean, I don't know. I hope she didn't tear a rotator cuff.
00:37:23What is Giselle? Giselle, those are brass knuckles!
00:37:27Those are brass knuckles!
00:37:30And close fist legal, but brass knuckles are not outside of the view of our referee!
00:37:36The cover! No! No!
00:37:39Wow!
00:37:41The winner of this match, and still, M.L.P. Canadian Women's Champion, Giselle Shaw!
00:37:55An incredible battle!
00:37:58Both women turning up the dial, but tuning in the frequency, that of a savory competition.
00:38:06Giselle Shaw, perhaps out of desperation, Don, had a secret weapon planted for just this situation.
00:38:21Victorious Giselle Shaw, here at Uprising, as we head toward M.L.P.'s next huge event on April 17th, Multiverse!
00:38:56Well, what a huge announcement! Our first match announced for Multiverse M.L.P. coming to Vegas April 17th.
00:39:05Mystico Mascara Dorada and ROH Legend Amazing Red taking on the Rascals in Sin City Las Vegas, Don!
00:39:14Absolutely, that's gonna be one for the ages, Mr. Riccoboni!
00:39:17It's gonna be a credible six men that will certainly be flying high when M.L.P. comes to Vegas!
00:39:25But six men will be competing here tonight, the prize couldn't be higher!
00:39:29The Interim M.L.P. Canadian Championship is on the line in an elimination challenge!
00:39:35Two men will start! A pin or submission will decide!
00:39:38The next man that comes in, the last man remaining, will become the Interim M.L.P. Canadian Champion!
00:39:45Our main event is now!
00:39:57This is your M.L.P. Uprising main event!

00:40:48In our elimination challenge!
00:40:50No!
00:40:52Whoa!
00:40:53We play!
00:40:59Whoa!
00:41:01Whoa!
00:41:02And previous lucked out!
00:41:06That is a packable.
00:41:07207!
00:41:08129!
00:41:09105!
00:41:09trata the team always!
00:41:09Write me out the rest!
00:41:11109!
00:41:111017!
00:41:121019!

00:41:181119!
00:41:191184!
00:41:301117!
00:41:31Michael picking up a victory over Oku in Ring of Honor.
00:41:35But I'll tell you what, even in the last year, Michael Oku throwing by leaps and bounds.
00:41:40Last two, two Global Wars events, two victories for Oku.
00:41:44If there's two athletes that can go the distance, Don, I think we're seeing them here.
00:41:48That's a silver lining, unfortunately, both of these men starting to kick off.
00:41:52You know what, I'll say this.
00:41:54I've got my guys I like, obviously the guys I love are in my group.
00:41:58But I see guys that are not in my group at AEW.
00:42:01And to me, Jay Lethal is a wrestler's wrestler.
00:42:04He's a guy that I love to watch because everything is perfect.
00:42:07His timing is perfect. His positioning is perfect.
00:42:10And we'll see if he can be that perfect. He'll need to be against Michael Oku.
00:42:15Certainly will and fans, we quickly review the rules of this bout.
00:42:20A decision will eliminate the competitor who has been decided.
00:42:26Meaning if there's a pinfall or submission or disposition will count out.
00:42:30That man's eliminated. The winner stays.
00:42:32Winner stays in the ring until we get to two final competitors.
00:42:37When we get to two, the last man standing becomes the interim MLP Canadian champion.
00:42:44I'm glad you're here to explain how things work because I'd be lost.
00:42:48You're pretty good actually. I take back everything I've ever said about you.
00:42:51Thank you. Other than the nerd part.
00:42:53Well, I'll resemble that remark so that's alright.
00:42:56It's been fun working with you as we are in our main event looking for the quick roll-up.
00:43:00And I think, you know, interesting maybe both athletes going for a quick pin here, Don,
00:43:04because they know the road ahead, if they're going to win, it's going to be long.
00:43:07And they're all up here from Oku.
00:43:10And if you're Jay Lethal in this match, I think the game plan is don't let Michael Oku get going
00:43:15with too much offense.
00:43:17So we're going to miss on the clothesline there.
00:43:18Looking for the O'Connor roll. Gets it.
00:43:21Now off the ropes, Oku.
00:43:22To the outside, shoulder to the midsection.
00:43:25It is Oku.
00:43:268 grand.
00:43:27Sunset flip.
00:43:28Series of covers.
00:43:29One.
00:43:29Lethal with a counter.
00:43:32Oku.
00:43:33Two count.
00:43:34Lethal.
00:43:35Two.
00:43:36One.
00:43:36One.
00:43:37Two.
00:43:39One.
00:43:40Two.
00:43:41And this match brought to you by The Count on Sesame Street.
00:43:45Cover.
00:43:46Two.
00:43:46And Oku almost steals one there.
00:43:49Oku famously set the world on fire.
00:43:52wrestling that scumbag piece of garbage Will Ospreay last year.
00:43:58And look at this.
00:43:59The forearms exchanged.
00:44:02And The Count not really presenting this bout.
00:44:04It of course is presented by Leona.
00:44:07Feel the power.
00:44:09Feel the power, brother.
00:44:10Off the ropes.
00:44:11Whoa!
00:44:12Look at this.
00:44:13It's lethal.
00:44:14Those heavy hands up and over.
00:44:16Lethal.
00:44:17And caught.
00:44:18Caught the back slide.
00:44:19Boku.
00:44:20Two.
00:44:20Oh!
00:44:21Looking for that scorpion back slide.
00:44:23Couldn't get the scorpion part.
00:44:25It's Oku.
00:44:26Big boot there.
00:44:27Sends lethal to the outside.
00:44:28We are moving fast and furious.
00:44:29Both men looking for quick victories to end the first fall of this bout.
00:44:36And lethal baseball slide out of the apron.
00:44:42And lethal through the legs.
00:44:45And triangle drop kick there.
00:44:50And the pace is high and fast.
00:44:55Oku getting a deep breath.
00:44:59And one thing usually comes out of this Don.
00:45:02Oh!
00:45:02Oh!
00:45:03Killer Oku!
00:45:06The Fosberries!
00:45:07They taste like Fosberries Don.
00:45:09Lovely.
00:45:12Great Canadian Olympian perfected that move.
00:45:15He did.
00:45:17And Michael Oku translating it into a language known worldwide professional wrestling.
00:45:28And it is Oku sending lethal back in.
00:45:38And fans don't forget with the huge announcement of MLP coming to TSN.
00:45:44The brand new MLP Mayhem Series.
00:45:47It will be taped right here at Sinclair College.
00:45:51Sinclair College.
00:45:52Windsor.
00:45:52Look at this.
00:45:53Oh!
00:45:53That knee.
00:45:54I'm sorry.
00:45:54Windsor, Ontario.
00:45:55June 12th, 13th, August 7th.
00:45:57Oh!
00:45:57My goodness!
00:45:58Jay Lethal veteran move.
00:45:59Didn't give the referee time or space to unhook the leg of Michael Oku.
00:46:05Oh!
00:46:06And lethal wants the count out.
00:46:07Of course he does.
00:46:08I don't blame him.
00:46:09Might have a knee injury on the scale of Josh Alexander.
00:46:12That is the reason the title is being...
00:46:16Why do you have to bring this up?
00:46:17You're upsetting me now.
00:46:19I love Josh Alexander.
00:46:20He's one of my boys.
00:46:21I do too.
00:46:22But Don, unfortunately, I have to tell the truth.
00:46:26That's always been your problem.
00:46:28Too honest.
00:46:29He's gotten me into trouble in the past.
00:46:31And as we have an eight.
00:46:34And Oku, wait a minute.
00:46:35Trying to beat the tanny down.
00:46:37Is that knee hobbled?
00:46:38That's going to take a lot of Oku's offense away, Don.
00:46:41Yeah, absolutely.
00:46:42And I think that, you know, fortune favors the bold if you're Jay Lethal here.
00:46:49And delivering the shots to the skull.
00:46:51Lethal loves that figure four.
00:46:53Maybe softening the knee up, the leg up.
00:46:56That's what I was saying.
00:47:00People talk about the excellence of execution.
00:47:04Overused word.
00:47:05But when I watch Jay Lethal, those are the words that come to mind.
00:47:11And...
00:47:12Oh!
00:47:13Cover here.
00:47:15Two.
00:47:15Taking advantage of that fortuitous.
00:47:18Knee getting snapped over that middle rope.
00:47:21Trying to keep Oku grounded in more ways than one.
00:47:29And Don, do you think that either athlete's even looking past one another here?
00:47:33Is there focus remaining on one another?
00:47:35You know, I think it's always a mistake in competitive sports to look past anything.
00:47:41You've got to be in the moment.
00:47:42That's what made Michael Jordan great.
00:47:44He was in the moment.
00:47:45Jay Lethal's in the moment.
00:47:47Oku, I think, is wondering now, what do I do with my game plan for this bad wheel?
00:47:51Off the run.
00:47:52Oh, goodness.
00:47:53Look at that.
00:47:54I mean...
00:47:57Bullseye.
00:47:58Target hit.
00:48:00Lethal.
00:48:01Who was looking for that quick pin early now.
00:48:04Ready to take his time.
00:48:05Make sure the damage is done to that right knee.
00:48:08Let's take another look, Don.
00:48:09Precision shot there.
00:48:11Here's the great thing about Jay Lethal.
00:48:12A lot of wrestlers would stay on the same leg.
00:48:16He's worked both legs.
00:48:17Right.
00:48:18Don't give the guy an opportunity to hop around and hit you with something.
00:48:21Cripple him.
00:48:22And...
00:48:23Cripple.
00:48:23Cripple.
00:48:24All the way up top.
00:48:25It's Lethal.
00:48:26Looking.
00:48:28For Hale.
00:48:30To...
00:48:30The King.
00:48:33Taking the deep breath.
00:48:34The inhale.
00:48:37Locking.
00:48:38Caught.
00:48:38Finger forward.
00:48:39Whoa.
00:48:40Cradle here.
00:48:41Cradle.
00:48:41Just a one count.
00:48:43Oku couldn't hang on.
00:48:44It's back elbow from Oku.
00:48:47Staggering around.
00:48:48Oh!
00:48:49Gives up the leg to deliver the shot on Lethal.
00:48:52Second rope on the inside.
00:48:53Lethal staggered.
00:48:54Oh!
00:48:55Oh!
00:48:57And that leg so damaged down that he can't even capitalize.
00:48:59Yeah.
00:49:00It's a tough position for the kid.
00:49:02You know.
00:49:03He would normally follow up with a lot of explosive offense.
00:49:06Hard to do that when one of the wheels is off the car.
00:49:09OU!
00:49:10OU!
00:49:11OU!
00:49:12OU!
00:49:13Who knows the damage.
00:49:14Those tendons.
00:49:15Those ligaments that hold the knee together.
00:49:18Oku very bravely fighting through the pain right now.
00:49:23Oh!
00:49:23That heavy right hand blocked by Oku.
00:49:26And a forearm of his own delivered.
00:49:29Wow!
00:49:32Lethal frustrated now.
00:49:36Whoa!
00:49:37Look out!
00:49:39And Oku with a little bit of a reach advantage here.
00:49:41It's hard to get a lot of those punches when you don't have a good strong base.
00:49:45Oh!
00:49:47Round the wall DDT.
00:49:49Hobbling over leg hook.
00:49:50Cover!
00:49:51Two!
00:49:52Lethal able to kick out.
00:49:53That was close though.
00:49:58Two count only.
00:50:01Jay Lethal knows he has time to recover because of the bad leg of Michael Oku.
00:50:07And remember fans, one of these athletes has to turn around immediately
00:50:12and face one of our four remaining competitors until there was just one athlete left.
00:50:18They will become the interim MLP Canadian champion.
00:50:25And I promise you that I will be keeping a close eye on the recovery of Josh Alexander.
00:50:31And he will be that champion again.
00:50:34And Oku says it's time to go to work.
00:50:36Loves that half crab.
00:50:37The master of the half crab.
00:50:39Oh!
00:50:41Lethal fighting his way out of it there.
00:50:44Lethal!
00:50:44Lethal!
00:50:45Lethal!
00:50:46Oh!
00:50:47Oh!
00:50:48Lethal combination!
00:50:53And Jay Lethal now.
00:50:57Watch out now.
00:50:58He knows how to put this on.
00:51:00Oh!
00:51:00Catches the other leg!
00:51:01Nice!
00:51:03And that's why Lethal worked on both legs.
00:51:05Don, you called him!
00:51:06Yeah, this a young kid needs to give up right now got a promising career ahead of them
00:51:11But not if lethal snaps that leg Oh cool and danger
00:51:27Okie's got to make some kind of move here Jay lethal keeping his head and neck away
00:51:34From Michael oku's reach every time oku sits up lethal sits back takes himself out of the danger zone
00:51:47It's only a matter of time now is lethal wrenching at the figure board
00:51:54And oku trying to power out of it and that might be his only shot here the ropes didn't work
00:52:00The hips didn't work the upper body might and leave those leg was damaged earlier by those attacks. My oku
00:52:09Okay, I'm the like it's oku looking for the half crab
00:52:12You can't walk down with it properly because of his knee and lethal the table position
00:52:21Alleviating some but not all of the pain it's lethal it's wrenched in now that leg slips out
00:52:27Lethal's gonna tap needs to reach back and ankle lock it
00:52:31Lethal back again that table or just karate chop that right knee you can reach it
00:52:37And spinning through the heel to the collarbone and
00:52:42And lethal oh
00:52:48Back watch out oku coming through your screen
00:52:55You take another look look at the impact on this time
00:52:58Not wearing 3d glasses folks Jay lethal has got very strong legs as you can see
00:53:06Lethal
00:53:08Representing ring of honor for so long as it's standard bear its flagship its franchise
00:53:15See a lot of Michael loku in himself. He once said
00:53:19But oku in trouble here as lethal dragging the carcass
00:53:24Oh oku second rope on the inside oku
00:53:30Trying to block that's whatever in lethal lethal is trying to superplex oku to the outside down

00:53:42If I'm oku that bad wheel I don't want to be standing on those cables
00:53:47Trying to hang yeah, you're right down look at this losing his balance has to read just all
00:53:53Oh

00:54:35The franchise is gone. I don't wonder whether oku suckered him in by crying out in pain
00:54:42Lethal got cocky thought he's done and got caught in that crucifix roll-up
00:54:55Would have been a smart move
00:54:58Where the young oku who now might get fed to the lion

00:56:34Remember Tempest last night
00:56:36Grabbed the leg
00:56:37Of Stu Grayson
00:56:39Which in my opinion turned the tide of that grail match
00:56:42Wow that is a painful hole
00:56:44Wow the knee all that pressure on it Don
00:56:47And the choke here
00:56:49And this might be a blood oxygen choke
00:56:51Look at the positioning of that forearm
00:56:53And the huge bulging biceps
00:56:55Of Rohan Raja
00:56:56He's cranking on that knee too
00:56:58This is brutal
00:56:59I like this hold
00:57:00Lost control of it though
00:57:02And Swann trying to scoot out amateur style
00:57:05Into the cover too
00:57:06That front stack gets too

00:57:42To see Rich Swann
00:57:43Leave his interim champion
00:57:45Here tonight
00:57:47And look at Aurora Tevis
00:57:49Getting involved here

00:58:15The cannonball landing on his feet
00:58:20All night long
00:58:21Rich Swann
00:58:23And here's a man with the endurance now after last night's bout against ricochet though, Donna. What is this?
00:58:30Very unlike rich swan
00:58:33And I'm with the world tennis
00:58:36Used it well be using as an offensive weapon. It's a disqualification, but he's just given Roger a seat here
00:58:45If you think that's all he's got in mind you haven't been paying attention
00:58:49Breaking account rich swan
00:58:52Try to get a speed up here. We talked about great olympians. We're looking for some Ben Johnson style sprinting
00:59:03Ben Johnson a tremendous Canadian cheater
00:59:16Here he goes
00:59:24Is it a plane? Is it a plane? Well, let's split the difference. That's it. It's a swan
00:59:33One more time
00:59:42A little too much party and not enough business for rich swan right now
00:59:46Yeah, not dancing on the ceiling looking at the ceiling now was rich swan
00:59:53There's
00:59:54Rohan Raja now with an opportunity here to change the tide
00:59:59Rohan Raja is one of those old-school complete wrestlers
01:00:04second rope on the inside here
01:00:16second rope on the inside here
01:00:19Rohan Raja opportunity
01:00:24Hanging in the balance here
01:00:26Rohan Raja
01:00:27Pagging in the balance here to go body dog callus
01:00:28Don callus

01:00:29All right
01:00:30Elimination challenge to the side the interim title
01:00:35All right
01:00:36All right
01:00:38All right
01:00:56great
01:00:57Great strong kick out there by Raja
01:01:00And both these men had grueling bouts just last night at Global Wars
01:01:07You gotta think the stamina still high for both these men at 24 hours to recuperate
01:01:12Swann showing that power picking up the bigger man but
01:01:16Loses it into a sleeper
01:01:19Sleeper
01:01:19Once again for Raja
01:01:23The holder of the champions grail
01:01:25500 days believes that he should be the anointed one
01:01:28He should be the interim champion
01:01:31And it's locked out down the lights are turned off for swan
01:01:36Oh, maybe not
01:01:39Tremendous counter albeit with the hair
01:01:44Oh
01:01:45Cover to the cutter almost does it for swan
01:01:49Oh, I love swan staying right on Raja here
01:01:53Now second rope on the inside
01:01:56Swann
01:01:57Bandy
01:01:58Cover to
01:01:59Swann does not eliminate Raja
01:02:06Referee looked a little out of position there
01:02:09That might have cost Rich Swann a three count
01:02:13As he's take a look at the massage
01:02:16Of Aurora Tempest
01:02:18On the outside second rope on the inside
01:02:21For swan looking for it again
01:02:22And Tempest
01:02:24Tempest cost you grace in the bout last night
01:02:29For 50.
01:02:302
01:02:314
01:02:3150 too much time
01:02:31Oh, ouch, ouch, ouch
01:02:33Too much time
01:02:34And
01:02:35Raja
01:02:36Oh, a lung blower
01:02:39Swann is
01:02:39Stired and planted
01:02:41Skull first
01:02:43Leg is hooked
01:02:442
01:02:45Roja
01:02:46Roja
01:02:46Raja
01:02:47Eliminates Swann
01:02:48Rich Swann
01:02:50Has been eliminated
01:02:53Tough break for Rich Swann
01:02:55He's looked great since he's been here
01:02:56In Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling
01:03:00Raja with a great follow through
01:03:031
01:03:04Roja
01:03:06Entrant number 5
01:03:08Representing NLP
01:03:10Stu
01:03:12Grayson
01:03:14Has to look
01:03:16Into the not so distant past
01:03:19The man
01:03:21Who came up just short
01:03:23Of dethroning Raja last night
01:03:28We've already seen Tempest get involved here tonight
01:03:31Last night it was Grayson
01:03:33Who took the fight to Raja
01:03:35We're off and again looking to do the same thing this time
01:03:38Raja smartly anticipates Grayson's fast twitch
01:03:42And gets out of dodge
01:03:44Grayson is a dangerous dangerous guy
01:03:46Great wrestler better martial artist
01:03:51And Raja who we see the blood emerging
01:03:57From the top of the skull and across the eyebrow just above the nose
01:04:01How will that factor in Don?
01:04:04Well, I can tell you this
01:04:05Stu Grayson's not shy about going after a cut
01:04:08He'll definitely do all of that
01:04:10And two wounds
01:04:12On the face
01:04:14Of Raja
01:04:15And we are at 8
01:04:17Raja re-enters the ring
01:04:19Oh gets right back out
01:04:21This is just smart wrestling Don
01:04:23Raja needs a breather
01:04:24He's eliminated two athletes
01:04:26Two of the best in the world
01:04:27These fans are booing Raja
01:04:29But he's doing the smart thing
01:04:32He's allowing himself time to recover
01:04:34Trying to slow down that energy
01:04:37That emanates from the body from every pore of Stu Grayson
01:04:41And the blood just pouring out now
01:04:46And I
01:04:47Look at that dummy
01:04:49Well I know the
01:04:50Hey Doc
01:04:52They're great paying fans here
01:04:54I'm gonna wait for him in the parking lot
01:04:55They've sold out
01:04:57St. Clair College here
01:04:59We're back up to 8
01:05:00And Raja
01:05:01Oh this time Grayson
01:05:03Going to the outside
01:05:04And the fight has come to Raja
01:05:08Yeah if you're Raja
01:05:09You don't want to make this a striking battle
01:05:11With Stu Grayson
01:05:13All right
01:05:13Tevis once again
01:05:14And a repeat of last night
01:05:16Raja's gonna do it again
01:05:17Raja's gonna do it again
01:05:18Handful of tights
01:05:19I think it's 2 and 9 dance
01:05:26Swing and a miss there
01:05:27Oh!
01:05:30The Pele
01:05:32It's Grayson
01:05:36Stu Grayson
01:05:38Oh 9-12 was almost upon us
01:05:41Tevis getting involved again
01:05:45They sent her back to Alabama
01:05:53And that's the right call
01:05:55And that's the right call
01:05:55There you go
01:05:57That's the right call
01:05:59Tevis factoring in one decision
01:06:03Man
01:06:05O'Reilly Tevis
01:06:07has been
01:06:08on ringside
01:06:10Good!
01:06:14Good!
01:06:16Rohan Raja doesn't need help
01:06:18I know that
01:06:19Well we saw
01:06:20That it certainly helped
01:06:23Get Raja across the finish line last night
01:06:25And Raja's gotta be careful here
01:06:27A count out
01:06:28Will eliminate Raja
01:06:29Raja
01:06:32And we are at 6
01:06:35Raja's gotta be careful
01:06:37I think his insurance policy has been cashed in Don
01:06:43And we are back inside the ring
01:06:45Oh!
01:06:46With a high knee!
01:06:49And Dono's knees
01:06:51And Dono's knees
01:06:51Can become a precursor
01:06:53Look at 4
01:06:55Once again
01:06:57Grayson
01:07:00Knife
01:07:01Oh Lord
01:07:02Is upon us
01:07:03To
01:07:04Grayson's eliminated Raja
01:07:07Lohan Radha
01:07:08Ouha
01:07:09Has been eliminated
01:07:13One of the skeletons that has haunted the closet
01:07:17Of Stu Grayson
01:07:19has been emmiserated
01:07:21But unfortunately the battle
01:07:23Moves to the high seas
01:07:25As the Octopus
01:07:27enters this elimination challenge
01:07:29One of these two men
01:07:31will become the Inter herb
01:07:32MLP Canadian champion!
01:07:41Oh no!
01:07:43Oh no, Raja!
01:07:48Well, this is big problems for Stu Grayson because Raja just did a number on him
01:07:53and what's waiting there is this animal.
01:07:58Oh, Raja.
01:08:03Absolutely frustrated. I understand why.
01:08:08But I cannot fathom to begin that level of depravity you must have.
01:08:16Now, Raja locking eyes.
01:08:17I think Gresham likes this, Don.
01:08:20Well, if he's smart, he'll go take advantage of it. I don't know what he's waiting for.
01:08:24And look at Raja, Tom. Go for it!
01:08:26Raja's like, what's your problem?
01:08:28Oh, well done!
01:08:29Jonathan Gresham is a man that lit a group known as the Foundation in Ring of All.
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:36About pure wrestling, about doing things the right way.
01:08:38Captured the ring of all time.
01:08:39Oh, so he's one of these nice guys. He's howdy doodies like you.
01:08:42Well, I wouldn't go that far, Don, but I would say this.
01:08:47He's a man of respect and he wants to compete.
01:08:50And Gresham making sure.
01:08:54What's next? You're gonna give the guy a timeout?
01:08:56Get to business! Take him down! Stretch him! Pull his eye out!
01:09:07Sickening displaying his sportsmanship.
01:09:12And the former Ring of Honor World Champion, Jonathan Gresham,
01:09:18in there with Stu Grayson.
01:09:20The big one has slipped through his fingers whether it was the NWA World Championship by their last night
01:09:29It was the champions grail and Gresham
01:09:34Shape of course
01:09:37Gresham valiantly returning
01:09:39From a life-threatening stroke that he suffered. Yeah, that's terrifying
01:09:44And has come back better than ever in championship caliber waist lock here as trout resumed worldwide travel
01:09:52including
01:09:53Weeks and months in Europe to hone his craft to continue to wrestle as one of the best in the
01:09:58world
01:10:00Gresham is an impressive guy and I think the thing about Gresham is he's so different from everybody else. He's
01:10:06hard to prepare for
01:10:09And again a sign of respect if I'm Stu Grayson, I'm gonna turn this into a striking match
01:10:15I don't want to be on the mat with Jonathan Gresham
01:10:18Well, that's a problem that many athletes have faced against Gresham because if you if you go strike for strike
01:10:23Gresham will just catch your wrist. He'll catch your leg
01:10:26He's a great submission artist. Look at that. Oh, but holding on grace and grace it can take it to
01:10:30the mat, too
01:10:32The front face like here. It's Grayson with the wrist locks
01:10:34Gresham rolling through Gresham grabbing a hold of Grayson's wrist can't pry it free. He does now wrist lock here.
01:10:40Hi wrist lock
01:10:41Trying to slip through does his Grayson fire
01:10:43It's carry holds on to the wrist locking into the straight arm bar Gresham smartly though getting back to a
01:10:48vertical base into the ropes
01:10:49Gresham's one of those guys would have fit in well a hundred years ago wrestling
01:10:54Frank gotcher George Hackenschmidt. He's got that old-school style knows how to stretch you from multiple angles
01:11:02Reminds me of the great Canadian Ripper Billy Watson
01:11:09And I think Gresham
01:11:11Gresham has seen what he needs to see
01:11:13I think he sees that Grayson is in a proper place and state of mind and physicality to compete here
01:11:19Wouldn't surprise me if we saw Gresham turn off the dial a little bit
01:11:23That respect is there from Gresham to Grayson where the stakes can't be higher here the interim
01:11:28MLP Canadian title
01:11:30On the line
01:11:32drop down
01:11:36And Grayson
01:11:43Great Irish whip exchange duck down down to the crush it comes high
01:11:47Grayson even higher great counter by Gresham or grace
01:11:51And Grayson
01:11:53Sending Gresham to the apron there
01:11:59And Gresham swing and a miss sweeping the leg and down goes Gresham
01:12:07And Grayson
01:12:08And Grayson
01:12:08What is this of the crew?
01:12:09Yeah!
01:12:11Yeah!
01:12:13Whoa!
01:12:14That stall and plush under the apron as Grayson connects
01:12:24And I'm with you at this point Don
01:12:26Maybe Gresham made a huge mistake of his calculation for not taking immediate advantage of the situation Rohan Raja
01:12:32I think so
01:12:33Put in front of him
01:12:38Oh!
01:12:41And Gresham regretting it after that, that's for sure
01:12:47And that's not a chop, that's a knife-edge thrust
01:12:51Those are nasty by Gresham
01:12:53Oh!
01:12:55Oh, look at this Gresham looking for a timeout here
01:13:00Trying to recuperate Gresham
01:13:03Wrist tape coming off here
01:13:10Oh!
01:13:11Oh!
01:13:11Behind the referee's back!
01:13:14I was about to say, you know, one of the advantages Gresham has is everyone thinks he's Mr. Sportsmanship
01:13:22And then he goes and tags you in the nuts
01:13:25I mean, what a great move by Jonathan Gresham
01:13:28A checking of the package that ship nerd would have been proud of
01:13:32Oh, goodness!
01:13:35We all know that feeling, huh Don?
01:13:38What's that?
01:13:39Well, once yours drop, I'm sure you'll have some familiarity with it
01:13:43And the field goal connected by Gresham
01:13:46Just a little bit shorter here in Canada
01:13:50And the wrist block here
01:13:54Wrenching the wrist into a trap
01:13:57Looking for a pin
01:13:59And now
01:14:01Whoa!
01:14:02Whoa!
01:14:03Gresham
01:14:05Trying to cinch that arm down
01:14:06Looking for two
01:14:09And Grace is fighting this with everything he's got here, Don
01:14:12The cover!
01:14:14Two!
01:14:15Whoa!
01:14:19Gresham grabbing a hold of the digits
01:14:20Oh!
01:14:25Folks, don't try that at home
01:14:30Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch
01:14:31Oh, this hurts me just looking at it
01:14:35Manipulating the joints
01:14:36Two!
01:14:37Grayson has to kick out there
01:14:38But the pressure on the kick out went right into Gresham's game plan
01:14:42Crucifix here
01:14:43Two!
01:14:44Two count only
01:14:45Back up to their feet
01:14:47Arm drag
01:14:48Jack Briscoe-esque
01:14:49Deep arm drag
01:14:51By Jonathan Gresham
01:14:52And this is precisely
01:14:54Precisely
01:14:55Where Stu Grayson
01:14:56Does not want to find himself
01:15:00Woohoo!
01:15:03And wrenching the ankle
01:15:04Now stepping into the armpit
01:15:06A lot of pressure there going back
01:15:08Oh!
01:15:09And into a standing hammerlock
01:15:12Stu Sweet!
01:15:14Stu Sweet!
01:15:15Stu Sweet!
01:15:16And the Stu Sweet Chance crowd has their favorite here, Don
01:15:20Oh, they do, but
01:15:22Jonathan Gresham right now is in all kinds of control
01:15:27Can't quite get the wrist anywhere
01:15:29There you go, there you go
01:15:31Will
01:15:31Now the involuntary movement created
01:15:34By those knuckles to the obliques
01:15:36And the ribcage
01:15:37Should have kneed him right in the liver
01:15:41And a standing version
01:15:45Of the Fujiwara
01:15:47And that is toying with Grayson
01:15:49And toying with this crowd
01:15:52Having a good time here in the main event
01:15:54But Gresham can turn up the speed and the volume
01:15:58Yeah, he can
01:15:59And he will
01:16:02The Interim Canadian Championship here in MLP
01:16:06Will be decided
01:16:08It's Gresham now with the ankle in addition to both arms, Don
01:16:13Oh, and again
01:16:15The reason Gresham can do this is because he's so good
01:16:19Oh, yeah
01:16:21Oh, goodness
01:16:23On this groin stretch
01:16:24No, no, no, don't, don't
01:16:28Oh
01:16:29Throwing the groin
01:16:31Into the, almost a splayedle
01:16:32Two
01:16:35Half splayedle track, it's two on drag, countered
01:16:38Head scissor there
01:16:39Bouncing up, it's great
01:16:41That arm is damaged
01:16:44Don't know if he got all of it
01:16:45Great recovery there by Stu Grayson
01:16:52Front face lock here
01:16:53Front face lock here
01:16:54MLP interim title
01:16:55Hanging in the balance
01:16:56Gresham drops the knee to block the suplex
01:16:58It is Grayson
01:17:00Maneuvered for another, said Gresham goes to the wrist
01:17:02Popping up, popping the elbow of Jonathan Gresham
01:17:08Front face lock here
01:17:09And Gresham now
01:17:10Trying to get a wide base
01:17:16Gresham very powerful in the lower body and upper body for that matter
01:17:19Yeah
01:17:21And Grayson
01:17:21Able to bend those knees just a little sink the hips
01:17:24But it's Gresham ultimately
01:17:25Wait a minute, rolling through
01:17:26A home
01:17:26Gresham has Gresham sending his
01:17:31Oh no, the ropes and down
01:17:37Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
01:17:42Whoa!
01:17:42Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit
01:17:45I agree with the crowd, my sentiments exactly
01:17:48And we see both men
01:17:50Oh, and Grayson did not have control over that suplex
01:17:54Gresham sent tumbling first Gresham's spine
01:17:58Smashes into the apron Gresham maybe had better footing on the way down. Don't know how well he landed. It
01:18:04was all
01:18:06Concrete and Matt for Grayson though
01:18:11Those cables will cut into your back when you roll over the top rope like that very very painful
01:18:17Not gonna stop you from finishing the match but very painful
01:18:23And it's both men as the title hangs in the balance knife edge misses the wrist for Gresham slapping the
01:18:29wrist
01:18:29Grayson misses Gresham back to the left wrist
01:18:34Swing and a miss there and Gresham continuing his surgical precise moves
01:18:41That's a knife edge from Grayson and crush him into the corner collapse there
01:18:46Watch out now. I don't know if he can get him over he go
01:18:49Oh, he really got him
01:18:52Belly to belly
01:18:55Gresham going to go for another eye bear
01:19:05And Grayson charges big boot second rope on the inside
01:19:11Uh-oh
01:19:13Oh!
01:19:17And Gresham
01:19:20Who is on his feet by instinct and adrenaline only!
01:19:24And opening for Grayson!
01:19:27Oh, Gresham blocks that one though
01:19:31Into the ropes looking
01:19:33The O'Connor roll!
01:19:34Cover!
01:19:35Two!
01:19:36Grayson sends Gresham
01:19:37It is
01:19:39Grayson!
01:19:40The flatliner there!
01:19:42Fantastic offense here from Stu Grayson
01:19:44What resilience!
01:19:46Spring for the Lions!
01:19:48Salt!
01:19:49Cover!
01:19:50Toledo!
01:19:55And just a two and seven eighths
01:19:57With the Interim Canadian Championship in the balance here tonight
01:20:02Uprising sold out from Windsor, Ontario history
01:20:07Is being made before our eyes
01:20:09But who will history beckon
01:20:11As the title
01:20:12Is up for grabs
01:20:15Two forever!
01:20:18Two forever!
01:20:20And look at this
01:20:22TSM is the kind of action you will see
01:20:24As MLP mayhem heads to TSN
01:20:27A brand new television series coming your way
01:20:29Right here St. Clair College
01:20:30The backslide cover
01:20:31To mark those teeth down on your calendar
01:20:33You will see the Interim Champion
01:20:36Whoever it may be!
01:20:38Grayson!
01:20:39Beautiful DDT
01:20:40One!
01:20:41Two!
01:20:42Grayson!
01:20:43Man!
01:20:45This is Championship Wrestling right here
01:20:47Everything along the line
01:20:48These guys are leaving it all out there
01:20:52In the pursuit of this Interim Championship
01:20:56Don, I think Grayson needs to pick it up
01:20:59Because he cannot let the seeds of doubt
01:21:03Sow their way into his mind
01:21:04He knows the reputation he's been developing
01:21:08Whether it was the NWA 10 pounds of gold
01:21:11Whether it was the Champions Girl last night
01:21:13Can he win the big one?
01:21:15Instead
01:21:17Gresham changing the tide again
01:21:24Grayson's biggest opponent
01:21:26Might be his own state of affairs
01:21:28Inside his mind
01:21:29Is Gresham able to take the risk
01:21:32And tie it into a pretzel
01:21:34Into the great roll of two
01:21:35Oh wow!
01:21:37And into a crucifix
01:21:38To Gresham realizing the stakes quickly
01:21:40Into the cross face here
01:21:42Great transition to a cross face
01:21:43By Jonathan Gresham
01:21:46And notice he has the near arm
01:21:49The arm nearest to the rope
01:21:51Grapevine to stop a rope break
01:21:54Great
01:21:54It's making
01:21:55Grayson shit the hips
01:21:57Great
01:21:57Oh
01:21:59Hey Gresham starting to smell blood
01:22:01He's starting to smell blood
01:22:03As he knows how close it was to a tap
01:22:05And knows how close the wrist into the ropes
01:22:09Don't let him
01:22:09Don't let him
01:22:11And Gresham gets to the ropes
01:22:17And Gresham is worn down
01:22:19Yeah, frustration there
01:22:20Gresham put everything into that submission
01:22:23Only to see a rope break
01:22:25From Stu Grayson
01:22:27And the question mark from Gresham
01:22:28As he begins his international schedule
01:22:31Once again
01:22:32Does he have the gas tank like he used to?
01:22:34That is what may be rolling around the head of Gresham
01:22:37Inside the head of Grayson
01:22:39Can he vanquish the ghosts of his past?
01:22:43Oh
01:22:46And Gresham with the flipper there
01:22:52Forearm
01:22:52Oh, big right
01:22:56We said earlier
01:22:57If you're Jonathan Gresham
01:22:59Don't get into a striking contest
01:23:01With Stu Grayson
01:23:03Oh, and caught
01:23:06Gresham anticipating the fire in the eyes of both athletes
01:23:09He's up the ladder
01:23:10Enziguri catches Grayson
01:23:12The rear waist lock
01:23:13And the stolen German
01:23:15Two!
01:23:17Two and a half there
01:23:18Right back to his feet though
01:23:20Jonathan Gresham
01:23:21Interim title hanging in the balance
01:23:23Again!
01:23:25One!
01:23:25Two!
01:23:26Bridge gets two!
01:23:29Looking for a third
01:23:31It's Gresham
01:23:32The former ROH world champion
01:23:34Stepping on the inside
01:23:35Wow, this is tough
01:23:37Because Gresham is a load
01:23:39And he's making Grayson
01:23:41Carry that weight
01:23:44And the octopus stretch
01:23:47And I'd like to be anywhere but an octopus's garden right now
01:23:51If I was Stu Grayson
01:23:54Delivering
01:23:55Into the throat
01:23:56Oh, the neck
01:23:57Wait a minute!
01:23:58Grayson
01:23:58Grayson
01:23:59He likes the knife off from that position instead
01:24:01Use the momentum
01:24:03Oh, Gresham just so smart
01:24:05So smart
01:24:05He really is, really is
01:24:09A master of the game of human chess
01:24:11Jonathan Gresham
01:24:12As Grayson
01:24:13Look at this
01:24:16Superplats
01:24:17And back to his feet
01:24:19Wow!
01:24:20Back to his feet
01:24:20Grayson
01:24:22Gresham up!
01:24:22Gresham up!
01:24:26Oh!
01:24:27The big knee!
01:24:28The big knee!
01:24:30Grayson is feeling it now
01:24:34Stalking Gresham
01:24:36Rear waist lock
01:24:37The sun is setting it up rising
01:24:43If Grayson
01:24:44Can make the knife
01:24:46Full
01:24:48Blackheart
01:24:49Yes!
