It’s a sold out Don Kolov Arena in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Let’s go!

Welp, our live feed joins in progress a match with PCO & some poor bastard eating all of PCO’s moves. DDT to that fella. Some chops to that fella. People will get mad at me not being able to recognize this guy, but he looks pretty generic. Jessie V? We’ll go with that. Hits a frog splash. PCO sits up. Jessie V with some shots in the corner. PCO hulks up, clotheslines Jessie V. Reverse DDT by PCO, PCO goes up top, hits a moonsault and wins. No reason not to put PCO over in a pre-show match.

Santino books the Rascals for a match right now. I don’t appreciate this, as I had all the matches planned and now we’re adding things for no reason. Well, there’s probably a reason.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) vs. Mike Bailey & Trent Seven: OK, that last participant was unexpected. Did not expect to see that big boi Trent Seven on this show.

Something does hit a powerbomb, then hits Into The Void for three.

Rhino vs. Moose: Of all the people that were wrestling in the 2000s, Rhino looks more the same as he ever did. He smashes Moose into the ring apron. Hold on a second. Moose hit a low blow and the referee called for the bell in 2 minutes. Rhino tells us that he wants a street fight instead.
