PWR PRO were once again on the ball to upload their All On The Line event from the start of March, fully edited, and with commentary in place.

There was no messing about, Rampage Brown stepped through the curtain to get the show started. The mass of humanity was joined across the ring by The Behemoth Hunter Samson.

Hunter Samson defeated Rampage Brown by pinfall.

The test of strength was immediate from the lock up. Rampage gave up a foot of height against Samson but that didn’t intimidate the veteran.

A big shoulder barge from Hunter sent Brown to the outside, they met for a stalemate of shoulder tackles. Hunter was a raging bull to keep Rampage Brown on the back foot, until the back foot of Brown stopped a charging Hunter Samson to have The Behemoth wobbly legged and prone for another big barge to take Samson off his feet.

Rampage took control, and tried to settle the match into his tempo. Hunter came back for an Uranage to snatch a near fall, with Rampage returned with big spinebuster for a two count of his own.

It took grabbing a rushing Rampage Brown for a Deep Six, and an exclamation point of a chokeslam to give Hunter Samson a huge win.

A fantastic opening match of two colossal individuals knocking lumps out of each other. The intelligence of Hunter to stop himself short of being rammed into the ring post when the battle heading to the floor continues the growth that Hunter Samson isn’t a one note big man, he is learning and anticipating patterns to turn into defensive action.

The aura of Hunter Samson has been maintained well, and his checklist of opponents that heightens that aura and at the same time provides that experience to develop from like Wolfgang, Andy Roberts, Damien Corvin, and now Rampage Brown. Samson is being moulded into not only “The Behemoth” but THEE Behemoth in Scottish wrestling.

PWR PRO Tag Team Championships – Modern Culture (Umar Mohammed & Zachary Swift) defeated Halfdän & Brandon Jenkins by pinfall to retain.

A sour faced Zachary Swift started Modern Culture’s contractually obliged PWR PRO Tag Team Championship defence against Brandon Jenkins. Jenkins got the better of The Modern Day Gentleman in the early exchanges, but a rodeo was enough to bring the anger and for Swift to snap through the shenanigans.

Jenkins tagged in Halfdan, with Zachary not quite being able to wrangle the stout warrior. Zachary took a swift exit to the outside which gave Umar Mohammed to come in and cause a ruckus. Swift snuck in to capitalise and give Modern Culture the upper hand.

Halfdan was isolated by Mohammed and Swift, who exchanged quick tags to not give Halfdan a second of respite, with constant punishment in his orbit.

In a split second Halfdan flung Umar up for a spinebuster and tag in Brandon Jenkins, who burst into the ring with rights and lefts for everybody, dishing out a Fallaway Slam for both champions.

Brandon tagged in Halfdan for a front slam/big slash one-two combo that was saved by Umar Mohammed breaking the fall.

The chaos broke out, a leaping clothesline from Mohammed sent Halfdan rolling to the outside, and while Jenkins tried to get a clear scope of the situation, Umar drove his knees into the back of Brandon via a Thundergunn Express. It was enough for Jenkins to be hoisted for an assisted Gory Bomb for Modern Culture to retain.

Modern Culture once again brought the anarchy, once a match breaks down they are cunning in using the all the moving parts to their advantage.

It was my first experience of Halfdan and Brandon Jenkins and they definitely left an impression. They had that merging of philosophy that Modern Culture have had, which saw them work well as a team. The difference was when Jenkins looked out to check on Halfdan on the outside, Modern Culture don’t hold that much affinity for each other.

There’s an understanding of the common goal as champions, and even friendship to a point, but along with that is the absolute knowledge that one would stab the other in the back for individual gain. It’s a remarkable balance.

Great match.

Ross Hunter defeated Robert Balfour by pinfall.

In the final chapter of this rivalry, we’ve seen them battle it out many times in PWR PRO with this match marking the fifth and final confrontation of the former PWR PRO Tag Team Champions.

They’ve tore at each other, with the basis of the final match being who was the better wrestler. That in mind explained why these bitter rivals started the match with a lock up. The short cuts have been taken, but this was for more than a win, it was pride in their abilities.

It was a back and forth opening, both men having the other well scouted for a quick counter. It took Balfour to dive into his bag of tricks to hang a marching Hunter off the top rope to begin dismantling his former tag team partner.

Ross ducked a corner splash to get something put together, until a springboard back elbow was countered into a waistlock by Balfour to halt the momentum. Robert planted Hunter with a Pedigree for two, Ross recovered with a Samoan Drop that also garnered a near fall.

The desperation increased for Robert Balfour and Ross Hunter, striking with precision to keep the other down for the third slap to the mat. Hunter drove his shoulder through Balfour with a spear to finally end the series on top.

A non-stop match where the intensity didn’t let up. It’s a creative way to end things. The trope would be the final match being the stipulation but this switched it up to have the final bout just being who the better wrestler was and, even with being the aggressor, Balfour kept within the ruleset in order to try and prove that he was better.

Ross Hunter wasn’t finished, grabbing a golf club from under the ring. His intentions were interrupted by the music of Frank Gallo who implored The Par to come to some sort of resolution.

Thanks to some encouragement from the fans in Truth Nightclub The Par embraced to call a truce.

As Balfour and Hunter made their way to the back, Andy Roberts entered to grab a word with Frank Gallo. Andy wisely pointed out that the PWR Grab briefcase he holds doesn’t actually give him any extra power considering he owns the company, he books the shows, and he can have a title opportunity if he so pleases. Roberts decided to gift the briefcase to Frank Gallo to the roar of the crowd.

PWR PRO Women’s Championship – Triple Threat – Daisy Jenkins defeated Aerin Taylor, and Kate Calloway by pinfall to retain.

Kate Calloway suffered at the hands of a double team from Daisy Jenkins and Aerin Taylor. Once there was a separation Calloway started to fair better, taking Taylor overhead with a Stretch Muffler/Fisherman’s Suplex hybrid of nightmares.

Calloway tried to keep Daisy out of the ring, using Aerin as a weapon to keep Jenkins out of the way. The concentration on Taylor allowed Daisy to return to the fray but Kate Calloway was a juggernaut, overpowering her opponent’s double suplex attempt to take them both overhead.

Daisy Jenkins was spirited to try and take down Calloway, who kept swatting away her foes. Maisie Briggs arrived to drag Aerin out of the ring. Briggs confronted Daisy, but while Maisie pulled back for a forearm, Jenkins conveniently pulled Aerin Taylor into the path of the blow.

A furious Kate Calloway didn’t appreciate the apparent assist and in the confusion was rolled up by Daisy for The Starlight to retain.

I’m just going to grab my tinfoil hat because the plot has thickened. I’ve been enthralled by this spiral of Daisy Jenkins in PWR PRO. It’s now getting to the point where the pressure is starting to become blatant with the pull in of Aerin to take the impact of the Maisie forearm, but it also seems like it’s blatant to everyone except Daisy herself. I am starting to truly believe that she is unaware of this dark passenger taking over her like a symbiote.

The addition of Maisie Briggs is interesting, on the outset it’s Briggs trying to make it up to Kate Calloway for their tag team loss in Haddington. However, is there more to her involvement here? I’m invested. Heavily. Invested.

An action packed triple threat, there was a little tease of Aerin Taylor and Daisy Jenkins facing off but the majority of the match was them trying to fight off the powerhouse. Kate Calloway looked like an absolute killer. I’ve said many times about how phenomenal Daisy Jenkins is, she gives her all to make every move count. Aerin Taylor

PWR PRO Heavyweight Championship – Patty defeated Tommy Kartel by pinfall to win the PWR PRO Heavyweight Championship.

Tommy Kartel tried to bully young Patty, winding up the PWR PRO Prodigy with takedowns. Patty wasn’t going to rollover, surprising Tommy with feral display of tenacity, jabbing at the champion.

The pressure of the main event almost cost him with a slip on the ropes seeing Patty take a nasty spill that Kartel took immediate advantage of to put the boots to the challenger.

Once again Patty found his opening, brawling with Tommy Kartel around Truth Nightclub as fans and wrestlers looked on. Kartel regained the control once back between the ropes, pushing Patty towards referee Chris Quinn to have Patty turn into a crescent kick which was only good for two.

As the match wore on the confidence of Tommy Kartel increased, relishing in the chants of “Tommy Sucks” that just made every stomp to the joints and limbs of Patty all the more pointed. Tommy took Patty around for a Three Amigo’s combination of suplexes, the third adding a stall to make it all the more devastating.

The crowd support for Patty was electric as he scaled up to the top turnbuckle. Kartel tried to shove referee Chris Quinn into the ropes but Chris stood his ground. Tommy confronted Chris Quinn, but sidestepped in time to send Patty crashing into Chris to take him out of the equation.

Kartel saw his opening for a low blow. Another referee arrived but Tommy still couldn’t keep Patty down. An unhinged Kartel low blowed the replacement referee when he dared tried to relieve the champion of a chair he took into the ring.

Patty super kicked the chair into the face of Kartel, a cutter onto the steel had Tommy laid out in position for a Moonsault that wrapped up the match and crowned a new PWR PRO Heavyweight Champion.

The Par and Frank Gallo were the first out to congratulate Patty as the rest of the PWR PRO roster waved away the former champion. Patty was lifted onto the shoulders of Balfour and Hunter. In the background there was a split second moment where you could see Frank subtly start dispersing the crowd to clear the ring.

Gallo headed to the outside and revealed the briefcase from under the ring. He shoved it into the chest of Chris Quinn to confirm the cash in, The Par dropped Patty as the bell rung.

PWR PRO Heavyweight Championship – Frank Gallo defeated Patty by submission to win the PWR PRO Heavyweight Championship.

A lariat from Gallo and a modified chicken wing saw the bell ringing again moments later to declare another title change, Frank Gallo was once again PWR PRO Heavyweight Champion.

Heated is not the world, riotous might be closer to describe the atmosphere that you could feel through the screen. The foreshadowing of Andy Roberts talking about the PWR Grab briefcase being able to be used for a title match was a stunning set up for the events that followed. I like to talk about events that provide contextual clues so it’s not only accessible to the hardcore fan but to first time attendees, and PWR PRO are very good at laying it all out without insulting the intelligence of anyone that came to be entertained.

The main event of Tommy Kartel and Patty was outstanding, it felt like a main event. The stakes were evident, the edge of your seat moments and kick outs were bitten on every single time. A true culmination of the time taken to build Patty up as the next breakout guy, but also to the tyrannical title reign of Tommy Kartel.

The aftermath was shocking, and that shock and cliffhanger is perfect for a demand to see the next show, to finding out more via the socials. A terrific ending.

From a production standpoint, I love how Truth Nightclub looks. It carries sound well from an audience atmosphere. I did struggle with hearing the in-ring promos but I got the gist to understand the general content of what was being said.

A special mention to Scottie Stark and Dean Reid on commentary, they provided context, and sounded like they were also invested in the whole show. The passion and enjoyment was clear as they kept things on topic but were able to chat back and forth to further certain points during matches. Good work.

Overall another excellent event from PWR PRO, the layers of lore building with every show is wonderful to watch, every show has a reason to keep tabs on the next event and that’s an impressive feat. The team should be very proud about what they are creating at PWR PRO.
