REVOLUTION

Saturday, July 19th, 2008
Cosgrove Hall, York Ave, Clovelly Park, S.A.

The first match of the night saw Elliot Sexton go up against The Golden Aztec. The Aztec started off with a few kicks to the legs trying to ground his much bigger opponent, but Sexton gained control with a headlock and used his size advantage to dominate early on. At stages throughout the match, Sexton took time out to pose for the crowd, which later gave the Aztec an opportunity to hit a spectacular headscissors. The Golden Aztec then went up to the top rope but was countered by Sexton which resulted in a close pinfall. The Aztec fought back and hit a vicious Frankensteiner where Sexton was driven face first into the mat. The Golden Aztec followed up with the running SSP to score the pinfall...

Mark Aiston made his way to ringside with Chris Knight and his Personal Assistant in tow. Aiston stated that tonight we would see another KNIGHTMARE CHALLENGE and that he has already picked Jimmy Scarlet as the one to take on Chris Knight. Aiston went on to say that Jimmy Scarlet had impressed him at the last couple of events and he wants to see him go up against Australia's Weapon of Mass Destruction to see how he fares. Jimmy Scarlet fought hard in the match, but was unable to overcome Chris Knight's size and power. Scarlet used his speed very effectively managing to get on top of Knight more than others have done in the past with a few quick moves. During the match Aiston's personal Assistant got involved trying to distract Jimmy Scarlet by grabbing his leg and taunting him. Aiston, who wants Chris Knight to dominate his opponents with his own strength, was yelling at his assistant not to do anything unless he instructed him to do so. Knight eventually caught Scarlet with a power move and was able to take control till the finish of the match. After the match, Aiston praised the unconscious Jimmy Scarlet and wanted to hit the Aiston stunner for good measure. As Knight picked him up, Aiston's PA cut in and hit his own version of the stunner. Mark was not happy with this outcome, but Knight and Aiston's PA left the ring together leaving Aiston confused about what had just happened.

In the next match, Ryan 'Bones' Malone barely got halfway to the ring before Havok attacked him from behind with a trash can. Havok threw bones into the ring and hit him over the head once more. Havok yelled at Nick Savage to ring the bell, but Savage refused. On the outside, Benny English called out to Savage to start the and as he rang the bell himself. Havok lined up Bones and delivered another massive hit, this time right to the face of Malone. Nick Savage and called for a DQ due to the weapon use by Havok and 'Bones' Malone picked up the victory. Havok got out of the ring and left without so much as an answer for his actions. Greg Graham came down to ringside after the attack to aid his comrade and to help him backstage.

Cletus made his return to EPW-A after a year long absence and was matched against J-Rock in singles competition. J-Rock who had still been looking for a singles victory since his debut, looked to have a promising start to the year, but the loss to Carlo Cannon in a dance-off mid match and finally the loss of the match itself really sent him on a downward spiral, more so than before. Cletus was much quicker than J-Rock during the match, but J-Rock finally found form and managed to defeat Cletus for the three-count to gain his first victory. After the match, J-Rock grabbed the microphone and told the crowd what had been on his mind for the last 6 months. He went on to say that after his first match he was humiliated by Carlo Cannon and when he got a small form of revenge at DECEPTION, Carlo fled to Canada and has been hiding there ever since. When he returns, he will be facing a new J-Rock and he laid out a challenge for Carlo to take him when he return to Australia, so he can destroy him like he should have done the first time.

Jag and Havok made their way to ringside and put forth another $500 open challenge for anyone in the crowd to come in the ring and face them. For the past year they have not had one person take up the offer, so they decided to pick someone from the crowd. Havok eventually found someone who he wanted to give a shot to and pointed out Joey Graham, a trainee at the pro wrestling dojo, to get into the ring. Joey reluctantly made his way towards the ring and Jag pointed out his similarities to a family member of his on the roster, Greg Graham. At that moment, Greg Graham came from the back to confront Jag and Havok. Jag told Graham to take it easy, as tonight is Little Joey's lucky night. He said that he knows Joey has been training hard at the Pro Wrestling Dojo and tonight he will have an opportunity of a lifetime to make his debut for the company against a national champion. Greg Graham was concerned for his brother's safety, but Joey, who was still reluctant, didn't want to pass this chance up. Jag mentioned that he was a reasonable guy and would give Joey until after the next match to prepare for the beating of his life. After some discussion between Joey and Graham, they accepted the challenge to the crowd applause and left to the back to get Joey geared up for the match.

Next up was the tag match between Jayson Cooper & Robby Heart against the dastardly Dick & Balls, who were accompanied by Aiston's PA. Before the match, Benny English stated that because of the use of weapons by both teams, but most notable Jayson Cooper, at the last event, that both members of the losing teams in tonight's match would receive a Singapore caning at GROUND ZERO as punishment. At the last event Cooper was taken out earlier in the night leaving Robby to face Dick & Balls on his own, but tonight the match up would be an even match from the get go. The action spilled back and forth with Aiston's PA getting heavily involved in areas of the match. In the closing stages of the Robby tagged in Cooper and then he took out Balls and Aiston's PA on the outside with a huge crossbody splash. Back in the ring Cooper made the pinfall on Dick after the Canadian Destroyer, but Aiston's Personal Assistant complained to Commissioner English that there was no tag between Cooper and Robby and that the unofficial man in the ring made the pinfall. It didn't take a lot of convincing for Benny English to reverse the decision of the match, declaring Dick & Balls the winners. Referee Nick Savage tried to salvage the situation, but he was overruled immediately by the Co-Commissioner which forced Cooper and Heart into losing, becoming the losing team to receive the Singapore Caning at the next event.

Joey Graham was accompanied by his big brother Greg Graham to the ring wearing Greg's old ring attire. Jag said that Greg Graham should be concentrating on his match with Slater tonight instead of worrying about his brother. Jag then went on to say that if Greg leaves ringside, he will give Joey a shot at the NWA Australian National Championship. Joey assured Greg he wanted to do this and Greg left ringside with hesitation in his eyes to gear up for his match against Damian Slater. At the start of the match Jag shoved Joey and laughed, but Joey came back with a few quick forearms before being cut off and slammed down by Jag after a missed dropkick attempt. Jag then dominated Joey for the rest of the match and hit the Piledriver for the victory. After his celebration, Jag slammed Joey on the floor outside of the ring and carried him backstage mocking him all the way.

This Main Event match up between Damian Slater and Greg Graham had been building up for some time, stemming back to Re-Emerging last year when Greg Graham earned a shot at the NWA Australian Championship. Slater slowly showed his true colours throughout the next few events after narrowly missing out on winning the championship and contender shots on multiple occasions. Slater turned his back .. friends Robby Heart and Jayson Cooper and went on to attack Greg Graham, who was his protégé at the time. Damian Slater's experience shone though as he took the first fall in the BEST OF THREE FALLS match. Greg Graham came back pinning Slater in the second round to even the score to 1-1. During the break between rounds, Slater attacked Greg Graham with a chair, and as the third round began, Slater applied a sharp shooter onto Greg Graham and he was forced to submit after he didn't respond to the referee's signal. Slater won the match 2-1 and continued to beat down Greg Graham. This brought Jayson Cooper ringside to confront Slater. The two then got into an altercation, where the whole locker room was out at ringside trying to split them up. The fight lasted for about 5 minutes before Slater rushed backstage amid the confusion.
