Submission Match: Chris Panzer vs Ken Warren

 

The match between Panzer and Warren was off the charts. This is their third match after both men split one win each in the previous two contests. The crowd was split with multiple “Let’s go Warren”/”Let’s go Panzer” chants. Both men had an exchange of submission holds to get the upperhand in the special match. Chris Panzer went to the driver’s seat when he locked Warren with the surfboard submission. Eventually Ken Warren got back with an impressive pop up DDT to lay out his opponent. At one point, the tables seemed to turn once more with Chris Panzer working on the left arm of Ken Warren.

The Social Media Sinister would soon fight back with a hard superkick on Chris Panzer. Warren attempted to finish things off with the front facelock bodyscisors on Panzer, but the leader of the Panzer army fought out of the hold. Chris Panzer got the 2-1 lead in this feud after Ken Warren succumbed to his submission move. Both men put up a valiant effort and were applauded on their way out, including a very upset Ken Warren.

3-Way Elimination Tag Team Match: Beer Promdi (Kanto Terror and Mark D. Manalo) vs Dual Shock (Peter Versoza and SANDATA) vs Fighters 4 Hire (Miguel Rosales and Joey Bax)

 

The match started off with Fighters 4 Hire tagging in and out of the ring as they isolated Beer Promdi’s Mark D. Manalo. Manalo, who pleaded for his partner to wake up, was beaten from pillar to post by the Rosales and Bax. Fighters 4 Hire really isolated Mark D. Manalo with some heavy offense and some savvy double team moves. Rosales sent Manalo to ‘SUPLEX CITY’ at one point. Manalo caught a quick ‘break’ when he tagged out to Versoza…only to be double teamed by Versoza and Joey Bax. Fighters 4 Hire and Dual Shock were at a collision course in the ring for a few short moments. At one point in the match, both SANDATA and Versoza launched themselves off the corner for respective splashes on Beer Promdi on the outside. SANDATA took advantage of a small opening to get an out of nowhere pin from Joey Bax, eliminating Fighters 4 Hire in the match.

Bax and Rosales were CLEARLY unhappy as Rosales laid out SANDATA and Peter Versoza with F5s. At the behest of their boss, they continued the assault for a good while before they left ringside (and was fired by an irate Mr. Sy). Dual Shock looked to get vengeance against their first loss to Beer Promdi in Vendetta with some heavy hitting offense. Versoza delivered a majestic senton splash on Manalo for a near fall. The ending, however, was not in Dual Shock’s favor as KT and D. Manalo took out SANDATA with a Lakas Tama—Stunner combo for the pinfall victory. This was one of the most entertaining matches of the night. The entrance of Beer Promdi had one of the biggest reactions of the night, cementing just how the crowd loved these two guys.

For the PWR Championship: Bombay Suarez vs Jake De Leon

 

The main event lived up to everyone’s expectations as the match started off very fast-paced. One such spot even include JDL handspring off Bombay’s spinning headscisors takedown, which had a huge pop from the crowd. JDL did his patented splash on Bombay at one point for a 2 count. Bombay would return the favor with a high risk leg drop across the neck of his opponent. Bombay would deliver a fantastic swinging neckbreaker for a 2 count. JDL would get momentum again and wowed the audience with a running senton splash at Bombay on the corner. The Senyorito would be sent down the mat by Bombay’s patented spinning headscisors before he would get an arm up at 2. JDL would gain traction once more in the match after delivering a superkick out of nowhere at Bombay, who was coming off the top rope for some areal offense.

They would take the fight outside and was about to get counted out, only for the referee to stop the count at 9 since he felt the match needed a winner. The referee’s decision would be costly as the referee was in a receiving end of an accidental superkick from Jake De Leon. Bombay would get the upperhand inside the ring after he delivers a red mist and the Kick of the Day on JDL. He pinned Jake De Leon, but to his dismay, the referee was still out cold to count the pinfall. Upon the recovery of the PWR referee, JDL had enough strength to surprise Bombay with a quick alipin drop and gain the pinfall victory. Jake De Leon, made PWR history with his victory and was crowned the FIRST PWR Champion. However, the tale does NOT end there…

The Royal Flush made their way after the hard fought match of JDL and Bombay. The trio (who were missing the injured Main Maxx) ambushed the two heroes before Bryan Leo cashed in his ‘title shot’ just a couple of hours after he won the prize from his Iron Man Match.

Bryan Leo pounced on the tired champion as soon as the bell rang. JDL valiantly fought back against the King of the Royal Flush, but it was all for naught. One “Royal Flush Down” later, we had a new champion. Post-Match, Leo gave a rousing speech about PWR’s journey from their humble beginnings to where they were now. It was rather out of character for most part and he thanked everyone who were part of the PWR and for those who supported the product. In storyline form, it was the bad guys winning in the end. In reality…everyone won that night

Before I wrap up my thoughts here, there’s just one thing I’d like to point out that should be improved next time. I didn’t like the stipulation given to Mayhem if he lost (and he did) against Bryan Leo. Compare the two things at stake here, Bryan Leo’s ENTIRE STABLE and Mayhem’s chance to kick Bryan Leo’s ass again for…one calendar year. If they wanted to put the stakes up in a legit way, why not put the mask on the line? Or hell…how about you do NOT put ANYTHING on the line in the first place for both men if they lost? Outside that and a few in-ring miscues, it was all good. I still enjoyed. I still had a great time watching with friends and fellow Pro Wrestling fans.

All in all, the event was one of the biggest and the best show PWR has put out in its history. The matches were all awesome in their respective way. The crowd, yet again, has made the show 10 times more electric and exciting. Congratulations to the PWR wrestlers, bookers, staff and supporters. PWR Wrevolution X was one of the most memorable wrestling events I’ve ever watched. More PoWeR to you all!
