Perth College UHI, Perth

Taking place on March 11th 2016 in Perth. The show started with a recap of the last Uprising event with highlights of Stallyon winning the Fast Track Briefcase.

Stallyon defeated Kenny Kyd by Pinfall.

After a lock up Kyd used some of his speed to out maneuver Stallyon with double knees to the face. Stallyon slowed down the pace to bully Kyd with clubs, shoulder thrusts and slaps. Stallyon caught Kyd in a Tarantula-style move whilst dodging a running attack and brought Kyd back in with a suplex. Stallyon followed up with a horrible looking modified Stump Puller which looked ridiculously painful as he started working the legs to slow down Kyd, punishing him with a big back suplex for a two count. Kyd stunned Stallyon with a codebreaker but was answered with a superkick as both went for clotheslines to lay each other out as they got back up to trade forearms, uppercuts and kicks. A succession of kicks was countered into a roll up for Stallyon but it wasn’t enough. A follow up spinebuster from Stallyon couldn’t do the job and neither could an F5. Kyd avoided a wild Stallyon swinging a chain as he picked up the pace with a duo of dropkicks, a fisherman’s suplex and a running knee couldn’t keep down Stallyon. Stallyon went for a closed fist punch but was countered into an attempted crossface, Stallyon fought out and planted Kyd with a hard forearm straight to the face for the win.

A slow, quite plodding, match to start of the show. Many awkward pauses and spots with a flat ending. Not a good match.

Darren Blair vs Conor Frost ended in a Double Count Out.

Some shenanigans to start off with Blair leaving the ring in frustration as Frost teased running through the ropes. Blair had enough and mauled Frost in the corner and followed up with a cannonball. Blair sent Frost into the turnbuckles while Frost got a second wind, hitting a great dropkick that sent Blair to the outside where he proceeded to twist Blair’s nipples. They brawled on the outside and they both got counted out.

Another disappointing match, no fire just stuff happening, then the match ended.

The Riot Chris James defeated Ian Ambrose by Pinfall.

Feeling out process with wristlock counters and quick pinfalls. A great hip toss counter into a backslide from Ambrose for the two count. A battle of strength leading to a deep armdrag to keep James down. Ambrose headed to the outside and James followed with a suicide dive to gain the advantage. Back and forth as the match continued. Ambrose hit a big side slam for two as he put pressure on James with a hard scoop slam before putting on an abdominal stretch but was countered with a hip toss for a reprieve. They traded forearms before Ambrose went low with a kick. James hit a corkscrew neckbreaker for a close two count. Ambrose hit a superkick on a diving James and a follow up Brose-tista Bomb before James rolled Ambrose into a small package. A cutter from James couldn’t do it as they went back to trading blows. Ambrose hit a corkscrew rope assisted neckbreaker, missed a double foot stomp and ate a spear for The Riot Chris James to gain victory.

Ambrose looked to really try in this one but Chris James wasn’t good at all. Everything he did looked weak. The match itself was okay in moments when Ambrose was on offense.

JD Wilde defeated Lix Tetrax by Pinfall.

Wilde tried to jump Tetrax early but Tetrax brushed it off and threw Wilde about. Wilde dodged a corner splash and tried to take Tetrax off his feet with uppercuts to no effect before he was caught and thrown with a fallaway slam. Tetrax continued to batter Wilde as Wilde looked for an opening but any attempts were soon cut off by Tetrax. Wilde soon resorted to biting as he bit the knee of Tetrax to gain some advantage with a DDT. Tetrax sent Wilde to the outside and cracked him off the barricade. Wilde caught Tetrax with a dropkick as he tried to re-enter the ring and hit a springboard moonsault for only a one count. Tetrax powerbombed Wilde but Wilde fought out of a fireman’s carry. Tetrax missed a swanton bomb and was hit with a curb stomp but he got up straight away, a second curb stomp only got a two count, a wheelbarrow stunner and a third curb stomp was enough to beat Lix Tetrax.

Tetrax and Wilde did the too sweet after the match.

Wilde looked impressive in his fleeting moments of offense. Tetrax was terrible as he plodded about, the attempted swanton was decent but it wasn’t enough to counterbalance the rest of his performance.

Felix Fortune defeated EG Mackie by Pinfall.

Felix demanded Mackie’s assistant go to the back…which she did. Mackie countered this by kissing Fortune. Mackie was caught from a crossbody but struggled out. Fortune went onto the attack and clubbed Mackie. A wheelbarrow bulldog was avoided by Fortune as he went back onto the offensive. Mackie hit a seated senton but was soon thrown with a side effect and planted with a series of elbow drops but missed the big one which Mackie used to gain the upper hand with a facebuster, Fortune muscled up Mackie for the Jackpot which could only get a two count. Sliced Bread from Mackie couldn’t finish Fortune, Fortune ducked another seated senton and hit Mackie with the Skull Crushing Finale for the win. Mackie’s assistant low blowed Fortune after the match.

A decent match. Mackie, even as Mega Mackie Z, is pure entertainment as he has so much charisma that it’s infectious. Fortune looked pretty solid also.

SWE Future Division Championship – Fatal Four Way – LJT (c) defeated Ricochet, Scotty Riccio & Steven ‘Air’ Myles by Pinfall.

The main event for the evening with all four looking to lock up before starting to brawl. The action was thick and fast. Ricochet sent Riccio into a Myles for a headlock and hit Myles with a neckbreaker to force Myles to DDT Riccio. Myles, LJT and Ricochet had some great sequences, LJT dived onto Riccio on the outside and Myles soon joined him. The match slowed down after the opening flurry with Ricochet targeting LJT, lifting him into a bow and arrow and tapping the head of LJT against the turnbuckle. LJT ate a spinebuster and The People’s Moonsault for only two. LJT hit a hurricaDDT which could’ve been it if Myles hadn’t re-entered to break up the count. All four men traded offense, Myles hit the sling blade onto Ricochet, Ricochet hit the Blue Thunder Bomb onto LJT for a near fall. Superkicks all over the place before LJT took down Riccio with an enziguri as all four men were struggling to get to their feet. The four brawled, Myles hit a fisherman’s buster onto Riccio and attempted a 450 splash but Riccio moved and hit a spinning cutter. Ricochet hit Riccio with a brainbuster and standing shooting star press but the count was interrupted by LJT who landed the Sliced Bread onto Ricochet who was saved by Myles. Myles then his a hurricaDDT of his own, rolled up LJT and turned into the Myles Clash which Ricochet broke up the count to save the match. Ricochet countered a Sliced Bread into the set up for Benadryller but it was countered into a small package for the win.

All four men shook hands after the match.

When you had any combination of LJT, Myles or Ricochet you were in for some fun. Any time Scotty Riccio started offense it looked slow and stunted in comparison, dragging the match down. So much happened it was hard to keep up. The finish had an awkward pause before going into it but a great match nonetheless.

Overall: A one match event, the undercard to the main event was awful to decent. The crowd were silent for the majority of the show and, bar Ian Ambrose and EG Mackie, there seemed to be no attempt to get the crowd invested, they woke up for the main event somewhat but as soon as the match was over it was dead silent. When others tried nobody seemed to care. Wilde looked very good when he had the moment to.

Don’t believe me, just watch:
