00:01:12Hello and welcome to Revolution Pro Wrestling Summer Sister 2024!

00:01:21Now you're called, I have only one question for you, ARE YOU READY?

00:01:38Please make some noise and welcome, Mr Andy Quayle!

00:01:52Good evening you're called!

00:02:02Now I just want to start off by thanking everyone for coming out, it's a great time here for Revolution Pro Wrestling, we're two weeks away from the biggest show we've ever produced

00:02:15And tonight I think it's safe to say we've got the entire wrestling world talking

00:02:26And by being here tonight, every single one of you are going to be a part of history, there's nothing like independent professional wrestling live, in person, right here in the UK

00:02:48Now one of the most beautiful things about professional wrestling is not just the moments which are created in the ring, moments that we go away with and we think about for months and months and years to come

00:03:02And we tell our friends about and we say do you remember when, it's not just about that, it's also about the bonds which are formed

00:03:12And I think it's very safe to say that there's many people out there sitting in the audience who wouldn't be friends if it wasn't for this crazy wonderful thing called professional wrestling

00:03:26Now pro wrestling does a wonderful job, it does a wonderful job of creating moments, it does a wonderful job of bringing people together and bringing people closer and creating bonds that will last forever

00:03:48And unfortunately at times we lose those who are closest to us and many of you will know that recently we lost our great friend, the former Undisputed British Tag Team Champion, one of the best people I've ever met in my entire life, The Anarchist James Carson

00:04:18Now I think I was going to talk about Jamie, James, I would honestly be here all night long because he was one of a kind

00:04:47And the next match you're going to witness is going to be in memory of James Carson but not just that, the entire evening is going to be dedicated to his memory, I promise you Jamie we will not let anyone forget you, one of a kind, one of the very best

00:05:06Now listen guys, you can take my word for it but right now I'm going to divert your attention to the screen and I'd like you to listen to some of the words of some of these colleagues and friends

00:05:19Jamie was very much a one of a kind individual

00:05:25He was sort of the man at the school when I started

00:05:28He was someone who helped me grow and mature from a young early 20 year old lad when I first started to who I am today and without him I wouldn't be who I am

00:05:47Had this brilliant raw intensity and dynamic that he brought to performance

00:05:53I don't think we met anyone or had anyone through the doors who was as committed as Jamie

00:06:00All the qualities that made him a great professional wrestler and also made him a great friend

00:06:05From the very first time he stepped into a ring, James Carson was aggressive, violent, disorderly, everything that he was in real life and more, apart from violent, never violent

00:06:18He was the first person to make it, the first person to become a real wrestler, someone that everyone within the school looked up to but someone who we were all so proud of

00:06:28Jamie was the guy, out of everyone at the Portsmouth School of Wrestling he was the first real wrestler that it had produced and he'd been to York Hall, he'd won all the championships

00:06:43I always really looked up to Jamie, he helped me so much, he taught me so much, I took a lot of inspiration from him, I idolised him

00:06:56He wasn't so much a locker room leader than he was just one who sets an example

00:07:03Always had a can-do attitude, always gave everything 110%, the guy to look up to, the guy you wanted to be like

00:07:11James Castle, Jamie Stacey, was passionate, he was incredibly, incredibly focused on his morals, his beliefs and he upheld them no matter what the situation

00:07:26You got someone who was honest, was principled, so intelligent and fiercely loyal

00:07:34Never afraid to say what he felt or what he believed in or say what he thought was right even if it wasn't popular

00:07:42He would fight for you from the bottom of his heart and he would always be the last one standing with you if he agreed with what you did and if he didn't agree he would call you out for it

00:07:55He was such a genuine person, proper genuine person and they're hard to find in wrestling

00:08:01Just deserved infinitely more, not just from this industry but from life in general than what he got

00:08:11One of the bravest people I've ever met in my life, a fighter, a warrior

00:08:17The toughest man I've ever known

00:08:20Just a true great human being

00:08:23I don't actually think he knew how much I valued his friendship

00:08:29The best friend I could have asked for, for over a decade

00:08:33I remember, I think it was the first time he was in remission, he was able to get back in the gym

00:08:39He started doing private training sessions with Zoe at the school and he had a shirt designed for his comeback and it said

00:08:51James Castle will not die and he never got to make that comeback and that's devastating

00:09:00The memory of James Castle will not die, we won't let it

00:09:21Ladies and gentlemen of Northport, please make some noise

00:09:30Stomp your feet, clap your hands for the memory of the anarchist James Castle

00:09:50Northport, Northport, Northport, Northport, Northport

00:11:08Northport, Northport, Northport

00:11:11Ladies and gentlemen, at this time I ask that everyone be standing for a ten bell salute

00:11:42Ten bell salute

00:11:47Ten bell salute

00:11:52Ten bell salute

00:11:57Ten bell salute

00:12:01Ten bell salute

00:12:06Ten bell salute

00:12:36Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a single touch, scheduled for one fall

00:12:43And it is dedicated to the late, great James Castle

00:12:52Introducing him to the ring first

00:12:58Please welcome, Lord Vivian Ray

00:13:11Welcome, welcome everyone to York Hall Bethnal Green

00:13:17What a fitting tribute to the one, the only, James Castle

00:13:23We love you brother, I am Rob Reyes

00:13:26Introducing to the ring, his opponent

00:13:31And this one, this one means everything

00:13:36Please welcome to the ring

00:13:44Don, Don Steve

00:13:53These are two of my best friends

00:13:56We are two of James Castle's closest friends, his best friends

00:14:01Give me a break

00:14:04And they are all leaning towards each one of these guys

00:14:08This means the world to them

00:14:11This means the world to so many of them

00:14:13To be able to pay this tribute to the toughest man I have ever, ever known

00:14:18I mean it

00:14:20And I love these two guys

00:14:23From the bottom of my heart

00:14:26You can see the attires, Dan McGee sporting the jeans that he wore in his debut against James Castle

00:14:32He's added the patch, that symbol with James Castle

00:14:36Gideon with his own sporting James Castle's attire

00:14:39A fitting tribute

00:14:41This one's going to pull at heartstrings

00:14:50Both guys ready Andy

00:14:59Yeah they're going to fight for everything in this one aren't they

00:15:05No championships on the line but so much more

00:15:09You don't think they're going to go light on each other either

00:15:13Because that's not how Jamie would have wanted it is it

00:15:16No, no, not at all

00:15:19Jamie was the type that if he had the chance to smack either one of these guys straight in the testicles he would have

00:15:26It's a great effect as well isn't it

00:15:30Anything for a laugh

00:15:33They're all in good faith, all at a love

00:15:38Let's make the most of being able to see Gideon Gray as he is

00:15:48Absolutely, he's got that horrible lightning strike down his torso doesn't he

00:15:54Which we know Jamie took the piss out of as well

00:15:57It's one of our favourite pastimes

00:16:00A nice clean break and Dan McGee's having a good time

00:16:04It's going to be interesting to see if Ring Ross is a factor in this one as well

00:16:07Because we know neither man has competed regularly for quite some time now

00:16:11No, I'd say especially Dan

00:16:15But don't be shocked if they break out some bits and bobs you've never seen before

00:16:23It's Gideon Gray with a side headlock applied

00:16:27McGee looking for an escape moving it into his man

00:16:30Gideon's doing a great job and Gideon's one of the most underrated technicians in the ring isn't he

00:16:34Yeah, but I'd say the same about Dan Andy

00:16:41Yeah, I think it's very clear that Dan's a great technician

00:16:45But I think one thing that's underrated about Dan is his ability to scrap

00:16:48And if this one goes down that route then perhaps it could favour McGee

00:16:52Well we know Dan McGee, one of the best in terms of that brawling style when he was a regular

00:17:01I vividly remember one of my favourite matches of Dan's was at one of the old venues

00:17:05Against another good friend of Jamie's, Shah Samuels

00:17:12Lovely trick there by Gideon

00:17:16And yeah, he's still got it in him after that

00:17:21And he's going to revel in this because he can literally do whatever he wants to some effect

00:17:31I can tell you now the fact he's wrestling without a top on

00:17:35Is something he never thought he'd be doing

00:17:41Jamie would be proud of him, wouldn't he

00:17:44Well, I think more so to be able to hide the wonderful piece of art on his chest

00:17:54Test your strength here

00:17:56Dan is clearly the bigger guy

00:17:59There you go, and it's showing

00:18:08Gideon breaks away the arm, goes to sweep the leg

00:18:10Dan McGee one step ahead

00:18:12But Gideon comes from behind

00:18:14Lovely trick again

00:18:15And back to that strut

00:18:17Where Gideon Gray is protected

00:18:20So well

00:18:21He's having the time of his life

00:18:22He's actually able to be inside of a wrestling ring

00:18:25And smile and laugh

00:18:27I think without people doing him

00:18:30He's able to concentrate a little bit more, isn't he

00:18:32Nice takedown from Gideon

00:18:34And Dan McGee straight back to his feet

00:18:41Well, this is bound to happen

00:18:43Huge forearm strike from McGee

00:18:45And this is something that Gideon Gray is going to want to avoid

00:18:47Turning this one into a bit of a brawl here

00:18:53He goes for a hip toss

00:18:54Dan McGee puts on the break

00:18:55Traversal

00:19:01Great switch between the pair of them there

00:19:05Gideon actually showing that he is pretty athletic

00:19:07Rising to go

00:19:08And so is Dan

00:19:10From Dan McGee

00:19:11Right on the back of the bumps

00:19:13Back of the bumps

00:19:23Gideon

00:19:24He's just recuperating

00:19:25Recovering

00:19:26Probably not to Mimic Vandy

00:19:27But Dan's seen it

00:19:28Dan's seen the evil

00:19:29Over the top!

00:19:30Cannibal!

00:19:32The cannibal to the outside

00:19:34From Dan McGee

00:19:35Who's fired up here

00:19:37How can you not be?

00:19:40Classic Dan McGee

00:19:41That is classic

00:19:43Willing to put absolutely everything on the line

00:19:45For a dear friend

00:19:47As Dan McGee chops across the chest

00:19:49Of Gideon Gray

00:19:56Of course, I'm not sure you can see it on camera

00:19:58But across the stage

00:20:00We've got some of Jamie's closest friends

00:20:02From the Portsmouth School of Wrestling

00:20:04A place where James Castle

00:20:05It has to be said

00:20:06He was one of the first people through the doors

00:20:08Without a doubt

00:20:09The most dedicated trainee

00:20:10That we've ever had

00:20:11Sorry Rob

00:20:14And he was

00:20:15He set an example for everyone to follow

00:20:17Didn't he?

00:20:18Absolutely

00:20:19Don't worry

00:20:20I don't mind being a close second to Jamie

00:20:22And I'm happy to admit the same

00:20:23The guy worked his absolute tits off

00:20:25Someone that everyone looked up to

00:20:27And I don't know

00:20:28Like you said it in the video yourself

00:20:30Rob, didn't you?

00:20:31I don't think Jamie even realised

00:20:32What an impact he had upon anyone

00:20:34The impact of a friendship

00:20:36Someone to look up to

00:20:38And look, Gideon Gray

00:20:39He looks like he's

00:20:41He's not going to think about this one right now

00:20:43Isn't he?

00:20:44It's been a while as we said

00:20:45Since he's been in the ring

00:20:46He's walking out

00:20:47And then he looks

00:20:48He's not going to go through with this

00:20:50He's not going to go through with this

00:20:52He's broken the count there

00:20:54Look, everyone

00:20:55All Gideon's friends

00:20:56Are saying to him

00:20:57You can't see his face there

00:20:59They're all saying

00:21:00This isn't something that Jamie would have done

00:21:02He would not have walked away from this

00:21:04This is

00:21:06Like I say

00:21:07This contest means so much to Gideon

00:21:08We all know that fact

00:21:09Dan's going to

00:21:10And Dan following him out there

00:21:11And Dan's

00:21:14Straight to the leg

00:21:15And Dan McGee

00:21:16And that was smart from Gideon Gray

00:21:18And you would have expected that from James Carson as well

00:21:20He was a street fighter

00:21:21That was smart tactics

00:21:23From Gideon

00:21:24But oh my goodness

00:21:27I hate to say it

00:21:28But I think he asked for that one

00:21:29It backfired

00:21:30It absolutely backfired

00:21:32He had me going

00:21:35He landed hard

00:21:37On the stage

00:21:40And at this point

00:21:41He is going to be wondering

00:21:42Isn't he

00:21:43Why did I sign back up for this one

00:21:45Because you can have all the goodwill in the world

00:21:48And you can

00:21:49And obviously he wants so dearly

00:21:51To pay tribute to his late great friend

00:21:54But getting punched in the face

00:21:55He's still getting punched in the face

00:21:56Oh yeah

00:21:57Or landing on a solid hard ground

00:21:59Absolutely

00:22:00A steel deck staging

00:22:02And Gideon's in some trouble now

00:22:07I can tell you

00:22:08It's hot in this building

00:22:09It's hot outside

00:22:10And it's showing

00:22:15Oh Gideon could be done here

00:22:17But Dan's not going to let this finish like this

00:22:20There's no way this match can end like that

00:22:22There you go

00:22:23Dan's still

00:22:24He's still showing that respect

00:22:25Because he knows

00:22:26He knows what this is about

00:22:27It's a rivalry

00:22:28It's a competitive rivalry

00:22:29But there's respect

00:22:30Between everyone involved

00:22:33But Dan McGee needs to watch out

00:22:34Because Gideon

00:22:36Brilliant

00:22:37A classic James Castle

00:22:38Yeah absolutely

00:22:39Shades of James Castle there

00:22:41The way he went from the inside out

00:22:43And there was something about James Castle's

00:22:45Innovative smash mouth offense

00:22:47It was so unique

00:22:49It was one of a kind

00:22:50And Gideon Gray

00:22:51Taking a page out of his playbook right there

00:22:53From the inside out

00:22:54Quite literally

00:22:55Well

00:22:56Maybe metaphorically

00:22:57Spearing

00:23:00Dan McGee

00:23:01Out of his boots

00:23:03Oh literally

00:23:04That's one

00:23:05That move

00:23:06That move Andy

00:23:07You take out your opponent

00:23:09But you can't help but hurt yourself

00:23:11You both crash land

00:23:12Yes absolutely

00:23:13It's impossible not to hurt yourself

00:23:14But that was what Jamie was like

00:23:16That was what he was like

00:23:17He didn't care

00:23:18That kamikaze style of professional wrestling

00:23:20They called him an anarchist

00:23:22For a reason

00:23:23Exactly

00:23:24He did not care

00:23:26We're on eight

00:23:27And if this one ends in a draw

00:23:28I think it's a fitting way

00:23:29To end this contest

00:23:30But both men are back in the ring

00:23:32I'm glad they both got back in

00:23:35Worth seeing

00:23:36That move alone

00:23:40For that eight, nine

00:23:41Count whatever it was the ref got to

00:23:45And both men are exhausted

00:23:46And we have to stress here

00:23:48That neither man has competed regularly

00:23:50For a long time

00:23:51Oh yeah

00:23:52So cardiovascular conditioning

00:23:53Is certainly going to come into play here

00:23:55100%

00:23:56And let's not forget the emotion

00:23:58Of this whole night

00:23:59This whole situation

00:24:00Of this whole fight

00:24:01This whole situation as well

00:24:03As Gideon Ray connects hard

00:24:05And Rox McGee

00:24:06Well these two top fellas have had

00:24:08Since the moment this match was announced

00:24:10To think about exactly what this moment was going to be like

00:24:12They've probably been at the venue

00:24:14For the vast majority of the day

00:24:15Having to think

00:24:16Take in the atmosphere

00:24:17Without anyone in the venue

00:24:18And it's the emotions

00:24:19And also it's the memories

00:24:20Because we all share so many memories

00:24:21Of James Castle in this very venue

00:24:23And it's

00:24:25It's very real isn't it

00:24:26It's so real

00:24:27It's so raw

00:24:28And there's an adrenaline dump involved

00:24:30Just so many emotions

00:24:32As well as the physicality

00:24:34And the heat

00:24:35And the hot lights

00:24:36Has done the deed

00:24:37That's classic James Castle again

00:24:39That push kick

00:24:40Into the Michinogu driver

00:24:43Gideon Ray

00:24:44Rolls the shoulder

00:24:45The contest continues

00:24:47That was classic

00:24:48Castle used to do the same thing

00:24:49That push

00:24:50In the chest with the boot

00:24:51Send them flying

00:24:52Straight into the Michinogu

00:24:53James Castle was an intellectual

00:24:55I've said it so many times before

00:24:57One of the most intelligent

00:24:58And smartest men

00:24:59I've ever known

00:25:00And inside the ring

00:25:01He had such a high IQ

00:25:02That push kick designed

00:25:03To create some distance

00:25:05Push your opponent away

00:25:06And as they come back in

00:25:07You nail them with that Michinogu

00:25:09And talking about closing some distance

00:25:11Dan McGee doing it right now

00:25:13To Gideon Ray

00:25:14Not allowing him a chance to breathe

00:25:16With two big splashes

00:25:18Some may say

00:25:19That's a trademark

00:25:20A hallmark

00:25:21Of the Portsmouth School of Wrestling

00:25:22Well someone once said

00:25:23Double underhook

00:25:24Into the corner

00:25:25Again classic James Castle

00:25:26And again

00:25:27This as this match would suggest

00:25:29Someone could make a lot of money

00:25:30In stealing the moveset

00:25:31Of one anarchist James Castle

00:25:33He's one of a kind

00:25:35I'm sure we'll see his moves

00:25:36Replicated many many many times

00:25:39But when you see them

00:25:40We don't mind other people using them

00:25:42But when you see them

00:25:43Remember where they came from

00:25:44Remember where they started

00:25:46And this could be another one

00:25:47Castle on that double boot stomp

00:25:50Gideon Ray

00:25:51Connects

00:25:52Brilliant

00:25:53Absolutely beautiful

00:25:54Driving through the body

00:25:56Of Dan McGee

00:25:57And Gideon Ray

00:25:58With a cover

00:26:00But absolutely exhausted

00:26:02Was Gideon on that occasion

00:26:04He couldn't hook the leg

00:26:05We so often see him

00:26:07You know on commentary

00:26:10Making notes about

00:26:12Pinning attempts

00:26:14And how they maybe lacked

00:26:15Today's record

00:26:16But I think you can forgive

00:26:17Gideon Ray right there

00:26:18Because it's easy to sit

00:26:19From this position

00:26:20And critique

00:26:21But the sheer exhaustion

00:26:22What's Gideon Ray looking for now?

00:26:24Well he was serious

00:26:25He's already too high

00:26:26For what he normally should be

00:26:27I thought Gideon Ray

00:26:28Was scared of heights

00:26:29He's just having a

00:26:30No way

00:26:31He crashed and burned

00:26:33But I think in using that move

00:26:35He proved a point to himself there

00:26:39He grabs a leg

00:26:40He's dazed

00:26:41He's out of it

00:26:42He's caught the second one

00:26:44Going to pull him out

00:26:45Watch out

00:26:46Home breaker

00:26:48Shades

00:26:49A man

00:26:50Great frame

00:26:51Great frame

00:26:52Great frame

00:26:53Mad Kurt

00:26:54And Mad Kurt

00:26:55That one

00:26:56Was for you

00:27:00Another one of our nearest

00:27:01And dearest

00:27:02And let's not forget

00:27:03For so long

00:27:04For so long

00:27:05Dan McGee and Mad Kurt

00:27:06Formed a tag team

00:27:07Which was collectively known

00:27:08As Mad Kurt

00:27:09But Gideon Ray

00:27:10With a gown and gearie

00:27:12Dan looking for that

00:27:13Trademark corner splash again

00:27:14Some would say Dan

00:27:15Was the best

00:27:17Corner splash

00:27:18Out of the ports of school

00:27:19To rest in

00:27:20I've heard many people say that

00:27:21He took a page out of

00:27:22Mad Kurt's book

00:27:23And didn't focus on his opponent

00:27:24Absolutely

00:27:25When he had the opportunity

00:27:26And as a result got caught

00:27:27But speaking of getting caught

00:27:28Gideon Gray now

00:27:29Gets caught on the top rope

00:27:31Precarious position

00:27:32For Gray

00:27:34These guys so far

00:27:35Doing

00:27:36Jamie

00:27:37They're doing all of us proud

00:27:38You would not be able to tell

00:27:39The ring rust

00:27:40They're probably absolutely

00:27:41Knackered

00:27:42Superflex

00:27:43Superflex

00:27:52And you can tell how hot it is

00:27:53Isn't it

00:27:54Ref Dillon

00:27:55His hair was nice and slick

00:27:56When this match started

00:27:57Look at it

00:27:58It is hot in here

00:28:00Not an advert

00:28:01For whatever hair gel

00:28:02He's using

00:28:03Definitely not

00:28:04Where James Carson

00:28:05Used some great hair gel

00:28:06I've never seen a man

00:28:07Take so much pride and time

00:28:08In their hair

00:28:09And of course you have

00:28:10That fantastic

00:28:11Distinctive mohawk

00:28:12Of varying colours

00:28:13Throughout his professional

00:28:14Wrestling career

00:28:15And what about that

00:28:16Rishawan clothesline

00:28:17And Gideon Gray

00:28:18Is rocked

00:28:19And down

00:28:20To two knees now

00:28:25Don't be shocked

00:28:26If Gideon's just

00:28:27Trying to have a rest

00:28:28As well

00:28:29Well yeah

00:28:30He's got a high

00:28:31Wrestling IQ as well

00:28:32Hasn't he

00:28:33And look at this time

00:28:34It's that energy

00:28:35The fighting spirit

00:28:36Which is seeing him

00:28:37Stay standing

00:28:38Through gritted teeth

00:28:39James

00:28:40Oh no

00:28:41This is

00:28:42Classic Carson again

00:28:43Absolutely classic

00:28:44James Carson

00:28:45Is he going to follow

00:28:46With the Brain Buster

00:28:47Oh no

00:28:48Damage

00:28:50And again

00:28:51A kick to the side

00:28:52Of a skull

00:28:53Came straight into

00:28:54That open palm strike

00:28:55From Gray

00:28:56Both men

00:28:57Willing each other

00:28:58On here

00:29:03Both men well

00:29:04And truly rocked

00:29:05Come on boys

00:29:16It would be quite

00:29:17Fitting if this one

00:29:18Wasn't

00:29:19As good

00:29:20As this one

00:29:21Oh

00:29:22McGee gets caught

00:29:23To the punch

00:29:24But catches Gideon

00:29:25And connects

00:29:26Dan McGee now

00:29:28Slick blade

00:29:29Connects

00:29:31And the fatigue

00:29:32Definitely

00:29:33Definitely setting in

00:29:37Oh

00:29:39Lovely clutch

00:29:40Powerbomb there

00:29:42Into the cover

00:29:43Hook of the leg

00:29:44And Dan McGee

00:29:45Now

00:29:46Gideon Gray

00:29:47Shoulder

00:29:48Shoulder

00:29:49Just about

00:29:50Barely

00:29:54And I think

00:29:55The one thing

00:29:56That obviously

00:29:57We can't get over

00:29:58Is the raw emotion

00:29:59In the area

00:30:00In the building

00:30:01And the pure

00:30:02Heat

00:30:03That we're feeling

00:30:04Right now

00:30:05These two men

00:30:06Are emotionally

00:30:07And physically

00:30:08Spent

00:30:09And exhausted

00:30:10As Dan McGee

00:30:11Beckoning Gideon Gray

00:30:12To his feet

00:30:13Oh

00:30:14He caught him

00:30:15He caught him

00:30:17He's going for the brainbuster

00:30:20Yes

00:30:23And now

00:30:24Gray

00:30:27And he likes to use that kamikaze

00:30:29Like Lee did

00:30:30Lee James Carson

00:30:31No one utilised it like him

00:30:32The way he arched his back

00:30:33The way he built the momentum

00:30:35And Gideon Gray connects

00:30:37And there's a cover

00:30:39And he got him

00:30:41Gideon Gray

00:30:42Picks up the win

00:30:43And in an emotional

00:30:45And physical contest

00:30:51Everyone's standing

00:30:52I'm standing

00:30:54I would be standing

00:30:55But I'm sitting

00:30:56You're alright mate

00:30:57You're alright mate

00:30:58Your winner

00:31:00Rob

00:31:02Gideon

00:31:04Gray

00:31:06And in

00:31:08As Jamie used to say to me

00:31:11I might be fat

00:31:12But at least I'm happy

00:31:14It doesn't matter what you look like mate

00:31:16Life is about being happy

00:31:17We treasure it

00:31:18And unfortunately

00:31:19It's these moments that remind us

00:31:20That we need to do that

00:31:21Absolutely

00:31:34It's a pair embrace

00:31:35In the centre of the ring

00:31:37And this one wasn't about

00:31:38Winners or losers

00:31:39Was it?

00:31:40It's about a moment

00:31:41Yeah

00:31:42And this one's about honouring a memory

00:31:44Of a great, great man

00:31:46I've said it before

00:31:47But I'm sure before I'm done

00:31:49I will say it time and time again

00:31:52James Hartle was a great, great man

00:31:57The toughest man I've ever known

00:32:00Andy, thank you mate

00:32:01It's been a pleasure

00:32:02Thanks for doing this Rob

00:32:03I know he's going to join you

00:32:04And he's probably going to do a third job

00:32:06So enjoy mate

00:32:08We'll do this again soon

00:32:09Thank you very much Rob

00:32:12Thank you

00:32:27And that's what it's all about

00:32:28Ladies and gentlemen

00:32:29Friendship and a bond

00:32:31And just off camera there

00:32:33You saw Kijan handing that jacket

00:32:35To Will Kaven

00:32:36A man who idolised

00:32:38James Hartle

00:32:40When he was just a child

00:32:43And there's a defiant sign right there

00:32:45And that's what it's all about

00:32:47The memory

00:32:49Of the one great

00:32:51Analyst

00:32:56I'm so proud

00:32:57Of each and every one of those people

00:33:10You've been a good man

00:33:13To me

00:33:15And I'm proud of you

00:33:24And the following contest

00:33:25Is a singles match

00:33:27With a 30 minute time limit

00:33:29Scheduled for 1 fall

00:33:33And the winner of this match

00:33:35Will go on to qualify

00:33:37For the Cruiserweight Scramble match

00:33:39match on the 24th of August at the Copperbox Arena!

00:33:48Introducing to the ring, first, Initiator from Sweden.

00:33:55Tonight we honour the memory of James Castle and we honour the memory in the only way we know how

00:34:01with some of the best professional wrestling in the world today.

00:34:06And we're continuing as we started with one hell of a professional wrestling match

00:34:11and this one with consequences as it pertains to the Copperbox Arena,

00:34:16the biggest show in Revolution Pro Wrestling history

00:34:20and you're going to be taking a keen interest in this one because the winner of this contest

00:34:24will go in to that Cruiserweight Scramble match alongside champion Neon,

00:34:32Ruthless Will Caden and your boy, Cameron Kyle.

00:34:53Andy, it's an absolute pleasure to join you here tonight at York Hall, Andy.

00:34:58What a show we have tonight and first off I want to say what a beautiful tribute to start off the show.

00:35:03Congratulations to all men involved.

00:35:06Absolutely and of course indeed women, Zoe Stacey of course.

00:35:09Absolutely.

00:35:10Known better to fans as Zoe Lucas doing a wonderful job playing tribute to her late great husband.

00:35:17And make no mistake, every single match here tonight is dedicated to the memory of James Castle.

00:35:22Absolutely, here at Revolution Pro Wrestling we're going to do what we do best.

00:35:28Listen to this for a popular arrival.

00:35:33A man who knows what it's like to taste gold, to taste Cruiserweight gold.

00:35:37A man that wants it back in the worst way possible and this his ticket,

00:35:42his far-proof butt to that Cruiserweight gold.

00:35:48And you said earlier on, Andy, I'm going to be watching this matchup very, very closely.

00:35:54We've already got a former Cruiserweight champion, El Phantasmo in the matchup.

00:36:03If we could have another former Cruiserweight champion in Leon Slater,

00:36:06this could be a star-studded matchup for the Copper Box.

00:36:09Yeah, it's certainly a case of experience against youthful exuberance, isn't it?

00:36:13And my boy Cameron Kai has got his work cut out for him.

00:36:16But I trust in him and I believe in him and I believe that this is his moment at the Copper Box.

00:36:21Yeah, absolutely. And as we await Francesca's announcement.

00:36:38And of course Leon Slater goes by the name, the youngest in charge.

00:36:42And of course, your boy Cameron Kai is one year younger than Leon.

00:36:46Of course, you've got something to say about that.

00:36:48And I personally feel that Cameron Kai and Leon Slater could be a career rivalry.

00:36:53And I'm excited to see it develop.

00:36:55Will there be another chapter in the Copper Box in just two weeks' time?

00:37:01Potentially the biggest show in Revolution Pro Wrestling history.

00:37:04But Jack Cartwell will come to spoil the party or perhaps join the party, if you will.

00:37:09As Jack Cartwell is exemplary, example of everything that Revolution Pro Wrestling is about

00:37:15across the years when we talk about exciting, exciting wrestlers

00:37:20being exposed to this UK crowd for the very first time.

00:37:24And this is Jack Cartwell's debut here.

00:37:26And I do hope it's the first of many.

00:37:28But when will his return ticket be?

00:37:30Will it be in two weeks' time or will he have to get the old booking diary out

00:37:34and look towards further in the future?

00:37:36But it's all well and good talking about that.

00:37:39But in order to book that return plane ticket, Jack Cartwell will not lose here.

00:37:43He needs to make a statement against Leon Slater

00:37:45because this is where the best wrestlers in the world wrestle.

00:37:49And unorthodox in his offense and unorthodox in his defense is Jack Cartwell.

00:37:56Living up to the name right there.

00:37:57And not just making his Revolution Pro Wrestling debut

00:38:00but making his United Kingdom debut here tonight at York Hall.

00:38:04I'm very familiar with Jack Cartwell's work and he's a hell of a talent.

00:38:07And we are going to have a hard match to call coming up, Andy, I can tell you that.

00:38:11Yeah, he's having a great time.

00:38:19I think Leon Slater could probably do a Cartwell.

00:38:22Yeah, I think so. I think he could do one or two.

00:38:25And I think York Hall wants to see Leon Slater do a Cartwell as well.

00:38:29Wasted energy, if you ask me. It's so hot in here.

00:38:32Yeah, we picked the wrong man for our suits, Andy.

00:38:34Hell of a Cartwell, I want to stress.

00:38:36The only reason I'm wearing a suit is for James Castle.

00:38:39And he would love the fact that I squeezed into my suit here tonight.

00:38:42Always like to occasion, always like to dress up.

00:38:45Did Jamie not let those cut-off jeans fool you?

00:38:49Now Jack Cartwell only been wrestling five years.

00:38:53Started wrestling in 2019.

00:38:55Go on, Chris Hatch! Go on, Chris Hatch!

00:38:59Let's go! Let's go!

00:39:03Oh my God!

00:39:05There we go!

00:39:07York Hall has just come unglued!

00:39:09I think in Chris's mind, he's just done a pitch of perfect Cartwell right there.

00:39:13Right, Andy, get in there. You're next.

00:39:15These people need to stop encouraging him.

00:39:17I tell you what, I tried to do a Cartwell when I went to the gymnastics place with my son a few weeks back.

00:39:21I nearly put my back out.

00:39:24Cradle there, just a two-count. Swing and a miss.

00:39:26These two men, oh wow, nice Cartwell over the top.

00:39:29Like I say, unorthodox offense and defense.

00:39:32How do you stop Jack Cartwell from Cartwell?

00:39:34I think he needs to take his arm away from him.

00:39:36Take away that base of that Cartwell.

00:39:38Yeah, take away those arms. Take away those Cartwells.

00:39:40Yeah, I tell you, you'd love an opportunity to get in the ring with Jack Cartwell.

00:39:43If he's Zack Sabre Jr., he'd try and rip those arms right off, wouldn't he?

00:39:46Yeah, absolutely.

00:39:47And of course, in just under two weeks' time, Zack Sabre Jr.,

00:39:50one of the best technical wrestlers in the world going up against, well, probably,

00:39:53when we talk about technicians, best technical wrestlers in the world,

00:39:56one and two, in whichever order you so choose,

00:39:59Hechicero and Zack Sabre Jr. are going to collide in a marquee match

00:40:02in just under two weeks at the Copper Box Arena.

00:40:05And Leon Slater looking to join them.

00:40:08He missed the first time, but connected on the rebound.

00:40:11And Jack Cartwell favoring that jaw.

00:40:14And Leon Slater just on another level at the moment.

00:40:18Nice reversal, handspring.

00:40:20Oh, he caught him with the back elbow.

00:40:22I think Jack Cartwell almost tried to catch him there in that German position,

00:40:25but Slater hits so fast with that elbow to the side of the jaw.

00:40:30Oh, and Cartwell quick to get himself on the side of the apron.

00:40:33I didn't know I was talking about that.

00:40:34Oh, what the hell?

00:40:36Did you see that?

00:40:38Unorthodox offense from Jack Cartwell here tonight. Incredible.

00:40:42I think Jack Cartwell might become my son's favorite wrestler if he watches this match.

00:40:46Oh, no. Leon Slater kicks away the arms.

00:40:49Don't tell Michael Oku, currently his favorite wrestler.

00:40:51Oh, what a splash!

00:40:53Right across the back of the neck from Leon Slater.

00:40:57And he's not finished, Andy.

00:40:59Leon Slater.

00:41:01Controlled chaos lands on Jack Cartwell.

00:41:06And it is incredible how much we've seen this young man grow in just the past year.

00:41:12The level of wrestler he has become.

00:41:14Truly one of the top wrestlers on the planet today.

00:41:17He makes it look easy, doesn't he?

00:41:20Leon Slater!

00:41:22Leon Slater!

00:41:50Action.

00:41:52Leon Slater slowing down the pace now.

00:41:54Perhaps smart from Slater.

00:41:56Veteran-like maneuver, but Cartwell able to...

00:41:58Oh, no!

00:42:00Took a ride!

00:42:02And Slater follows up with a vicious and nasty boot.

00:42:05And one thing that Leon Slater has learned through being thrown in the deep end.

00:42:08Let's not forget his debut contest here in Revolution Pro Wrestling against Luke Jacobs.

00:42:15And we know about the speed of Leon Slater.

00:42:17We know about the athleticism.

00:42:18But how about the power?

00:42:20Did you see Leon Slater launch Jack Cartwell halfway across the ring?

00:42:28Leon Slater in the shape of his career right now.

00:42:31Still only 19 years old.

00:42:33It's a truly scary thought.

00:42:38Jack Cartwell not backing down though.

00:42:40We got a slugfest right now.

00:42:48He called for the Cartwell there, Andy.

00:42:50But Leon had it scouted.

00:42:52Connects with a boot.

00:42:57Hits him with a back elbow.

00:42:59And what a superkick Leon Slater.

00:43:01Back into his feet.

00:43:02Cartwell, wow!

00:43:03Finds a way out.

00:43:04You guessed it.

00:43:05Cartwell.

00:43:06What an invasion.

00:43:11And listen to this place right now.

00:43:15Jack Cartwell trying to make a name for himself tonight.

00:43:18And so far, the plan is going very well for him.

00:43:35Both men back up onto their feet.

00:43:39Oh my goodness!

00:43:40What a neckbreaker!

00:43:43A back handspring into the neckbreaker.

00:43:50And Jack Cartwell making these fans believe us right now.

00:43:55Crucifix form hooks him too.

00:43:58You have to see it to believe it.

00:44:12Jack Cartwell back up on his feet.

00:44:14But grabbing the back of the head there.

00:44:16Could be hurt in this contest.

00:44:18Leon Slater landed some hard shots to the head already.

00:44:24And elevation from Leon Slater.

00:44:27Leaping into the air with that enziguri.

00:44:30Beautiful execution.

00:44:34And Cartwell now in precarious territory as Slater falling into the corner.

00:44:38Yeah, this is not where Jack Cartwell wants to be.

00:44:40Or maybe it is.

00:44:41Absolutely changing the grip of Slater.

00:44:43That was wise from Jack Cartwell.

00:44:44You saw the sense of urgency there.

00:44:46He dumps Cartwell there on the side.

00:44:58The crowd firmly behind Leon Slater here tonight.

00:45:02Swing and a miss. Swing and a miss.

00:45:05Oh, Leon Slater caught him.

00:45:08I don't even know what you call that, Andy.

00:45:12Oh!

00:45:16And looks like he's not finished.

00:45:17Leon Slater could be looking for some high risk.

00:45:20Will it be high reward?

00:45:30Catches him right in the chin.

00:45:32And Leon with a drop kick of his own.

00:45:34Beautiful.

00:45:36Oh!

00:45:38Jack Cartwell's got Leon Slater exactly where he wants him.

00:45:52Oh, wow!

00:45:55And the Sasuke special from Jack Cartwell.

00:46:01What a debut for this young man tonight.

00:46:05But can he keep this momentum going all the way to the Copper Box, Andy?

00:46:10That's the real question.

00:46:11Absolutely it is.

00:46:15And so far he looks like he might be on track.

00:46:26Beautiful elbow right to the lower back there.

00:46:29The lumbar.

00:46:30If you can take that center of gravity away from Leon Slater,

00:46:33you can keep him off his feet.

00:46:52Both men down again.

00:46:54Both these men already taken so much punishment in this matchup.

00:46:57And so far it really could go either way.

00:47:04Neither man backing down so far.

00:47:06I'd say a 50-50 contest.

00:47:12Big shot across the back.

00:47:13Yeah, that's smart from Jack Cartwell.

00:47:15Going after that lower back of Leon Slater.

00:47:17We saw him connect with that elbow over the top.

00:47:20But now he's just going straight to work on that lower back.

00:47:28Oh!

00:47:29Nasty fall there from Jack Cartwell.

00:47:31It looked like he caught his throat on the second rope there.

00:47:36A desperation evasion from Leon Slater.

00:47:42I said it earlier on.

00:47:43You can see Leon is clutching that lower back already.

00:47:47Is he going to be able to find the strength to power through?

00:47:50If I know Leon Slater, I think he will.

00:47:52He's going to give it his all, isn't he?

00:47:54As he drives the elbow down into the back of the neck of Jack Cartwell.

00:47:57You can only hit the back of the neck, can't you?

00:47:59Oh no, you can hit the front of the neck, you can.

00:48:01It's a throat.

00:48:03Swing and a miss.

00:48:04And Cartwell ducked and connected straight back to that lower back.

00:48:08You pointed it out, Leighton.

00:48:10And I guess you're a great tactician as...

00:48:13Oh wow, just ran up the body using Leon Slater like a wall there.

00:48:18Not that many people can jump up walls.

00:48:21It's the two count with that roll through.

00:48:24Looking for sunset.

00:48:27It's the two count.

00:48:30Finds an escape.

00:48:31Jack Cartwell now.

00:48:33Roll through.

00:48:36And Leon Slater catches him.

00:48:37This could be it.

00:48:38Oh, that was close.

00:48:39It doesn't get much closer than that.

00:48:47Oh, caught him in the back of the head.

00:48:49Yeah, that was a rough strike.

00:48:51Yeah, when you can't see something like that coming, it hurts so much more, doesn't it?

00:48:56Yeah, he could be out on his feet right now, Jack Cartwell.

00:48:58I don't think he knows where he is.

00:49:00Watch out.

00:49:01Just perched on that middle rope.

00:49:03Leon Slater in trouble now.

00:49:04Jack Cartwell caught him in the lower back with a boot.

00:49:08And Leon Slater now hung out to dry.

00:49:11And Jack Cartwell very much an innovator looking to go to town.

00:49:15Slater trying to get himself out of dodge.

00:49:17But Jack Cartwell got other ideas.

00:49:19Oh, Cartwell double boot stomp.

00:49:23And Cartwell looks at home with this high-risk offense, doesn't he?

00:49:28High risk to many people, but seemingly not to Jack Cartwell.

00:49:32Yeah, certainly living up to his name tonight is Jack Cartwell.

00:49:35Could be looking to finish it off here.

00:49:39Oh, he got caught.

00:49:40Leon Slater caught him.

00:49:43He caught him with a cutter.

00:49:45Jack Cartwell crashed.

00:49:47Oh, no.

00:49:48He still rolled the shoulder.

00:49:49But Leon Slater not done.

00:49:51I think we know what's next, Andy.

00:49:53If Leon can hit this, he's going to the copper box.

00:49:56From the top rope.

00:49:58Oh, he went for a double boot stomp.

00:50:00He tries to transition in midair.

00:50:01But Cartwell manages to move out of the way.

00:50:03Oh, no.

00:50:05He tried to get some footing on the side of the ring.

00:50:08Slipped off.

00:50:09Crashed and burned to the outside.

00:50:11Now, Leon Slater's got an opportunity to make his mark.

00:50:16We know what's next.

00:50:18We know what's next.

00:50:21Leon Slater building up some steam.

00:50:24And wipes out Jack Cartwell.

00:50:26As Leon Slater just punched his ticket to the copper box arena.

00:50:35I don't know how Leon Slater hits that so perfectly every time.

00:50:39And if he can hit this.

00:50:42From the top.

00:50:43Leon Slater.

00:50:44Swan.

00:50:45Turn.

00:50:46450.

00:50:47Hook of the leg.

00:50:48Leon Slater is going to the copper box.

00:50:57Your winner and going on to the Cruiserweight Strangleman

00:51:02at the Copper Box Arena.

00:51:06Leon Slater.

00:51:12Now, this is a real game changer for that matchup.

00:51:16Leon Slater.

00:51:18The youngest in charge is hungry.

00:51:20And he wants his undisputed British Cruiserweight Championship back.

00:51:25Oh, absolutely he does.

00:51:27And with every passing day, the complexity and complexion

00:51:32of that Cruiserweight Scramble changes, doesn't it?

00:51:35And like you say, in Leon Slater,

00:51:38there's a real world beater been added to the list of names.

00:51:42So let's make this clear.

00:51:44We've got Neon, the defending and reigning undisputed British Cruiserweight Champion.

00:51:48We've got The Disruptor, Will Caban.

00:51:51We've got Cameron Kai.

00:51:53And many people say he's the future of this business.

00:51:56We've got the former champion, El Phantasmo.

00:51:59And now we've got another former champion, the youngest in charge,

00:52:03Leon Slater, with just one name to be announced.

00:52:07Late and buzzered, that Cruiserweight Scramble is a match you don't want to miss.

00:52:23The following contest is a four-way tag team match

00:52:28with a 30-minute time limit.

00:52:31Scheduled for one fall.

00:52:36And the winners of this match will become the number one contenders

00:52:40for the Undisputed British Tag Team Championship.

00:52:46Well, here we go.

00:52:48Please note, if Sunshine Machine lose,

00:52:51they will be disbanded as a tag team in a rush for wrestling.

00:52:57So many high stakes in this contest.

00:53:02Lucha Rules!

00:53:06Introducing to the ring...

00:53:09Basically, the match being under Lucha Rules means that referee Oscar Hardy

00:53:12doesn't have to worry about tags.

00:53:14It's gonna be chaos, let's face it.

00:53:16And it's prepared for chaos.

00:53:19With the orchestrator of a lot of chaos.

00:53:25And look at his hand, he's holding the hand of the East End Butcher,

00:53:29Charles Saviours, and he's holding that,

00:53:33saving the knowledge that he's backed up by his golden boy Santos.

00:53:42And David Francisco, someone who believes in the old adage of

00:53:48history is written by the winners.

00:53:56Oh, give me a break!

00:53:59David Francisco!

00:54:02And Golden Boy Santos!

00:54:06David Francisco!

00:54:11And what would it mean to these two men right here,

00:54:15if they could punch their way to the cover box.

00:54:18David Francisco just months after graduating from the contenders division.

00:54:22Golden Boy Santos just months after making his debut.

00:54:25This would be the biggest match of their career without a doubt.

00:54:28History is dictated by the winners, and in many ways that's true.

00:54:32Because since graduating from the contenders division,

00:54:36David Francisco hasn't lost a match.

00:54:38And since that point he's been dictating history.

00:54:42Look at him, what a cocky smug you know what.

00:54:47And speaking about people who like to talk about agendas,

00:54:51who like to talk a big talk.

00:54:53They've got a bone to pick against the undisputed British Tag Team Champions.

00:54:58The grizzled young vets.

00:55:00The former undisputed British Tag Team Champions.

00:55:04And that name, former, keeps them up at night.

00:55:08Okay, I understand.

00:55:11I understand.

00:55:13Jeez.

00:55:15I understand, you and Brendan White, very good friends.

00:55:18And Brendan White, another graduate of the contenders division,

00:55:21and another man who, listen at the top of the show,

00:55:25one of the first graduates from the contenders division,

00:55:28who took everything in his stride, graciously.

00:55:31Much like someone like a Joshua James.

00:55:35Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:38ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:41ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:44ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:47ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:50ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:53ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:56ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:59ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,

00:56:03They are hungry for the Copper Box, but so are their opponents here tonight.

00:56:28And talking about hungry, what about these two?

00:56:32Two young men looking to make a name for themselves and what better way than becoming the undisputed British Tag Team Champions.

00:56:47Nakashima not long from returning from injury, but as we've seen in the last couple of months he is back to 100%.

00:57:02Nakashima versus Youngblood!

00:57:32It's a celebration in this one for TK Cooper and Chuck Mambo.

00:57:37So I don't know if you can see it Leighton, around York Hall right now the beach balls are flying.

00:57:44And if this is the last time for Sunshine Machine they're going to go out in style aren't they?

00:57:52It's a party here in York Hall baby!

00:57:57It's a party, but is it going to be a party with a happy ending?

00:58:03Yeah let's hope it's not a leaving party for the Sunshine Machine.

00:58:07Yeah absolutely, right now is the very definition of do or die.

00:58:13This is the high pressure situation that Sunshine Machine created for themselves.

00:58:32Sunshine Machine!

00:58:37But I've got to say Andy, since making that choice to put their careers on the line in every single matchup,

00:58:43we've seen a new side to the Sunshine Machine, they have been unstoppable.

00:58:47Yes we have.

00:58:48And I think this might be the best version of Sunshine Machine we've seen here at Red Rose.

00:58:52Yes it has, but something I'd like to point out right now is since that self-imposed stipulation

00:58:57we haven't seen the party-like atmosphere on their entrance.

00:59:00We haven't seen them high-fiving, jumping up and down, smiling on their way to the ring.

00:59:05And that many people speculated has been the difference for Sunshine Machine.

00:59:09But tonight Sunshine Machine have come out with that attitude.

00:59:13Is that attitude going to cost them?

00:59:15And listen Leighton, I'm not sitting here judging them, I'm saying can you blame them?

00:59:20Because they've come out and they've been enjoying this moment like it could be their last.

00:59:24And it very well could be, as this one's broken down before it's even really started.

00:59:29Yes, I think this match is going to be absolutely chaos.

00:59:33And listen, it is lucha rules, however, they're very much not lucha teams are they?

00:59:41Look at them, they're all huge.

00:59:43I don't know, Brendan White could be a luchador.

00:59:48It took me a second to register that one.

00:59:52Listen, ladies and gentlemen, myself and Andy are going to try our best to call this one.

00:59:58Yes, and fortunately we've got a stage behind us today, so Leighton Buzzard can't fall off the stage.

01:00:03Yes, I'll stay in my seat this time.

01:00:06Oh, this is not looking good for David Francisco.

01:00:11Good luck, David Francisco.

01:00:14Low bridge, oh, much like the Revolution Rumble, where David Francisco was able to eliminate Leuper.

01:00:21And that's something that, oh, nice work from Francisco and Santos.

01:00:25Released German suplex from Golden Boy Santos on Yuto Nakashima.

01:00:28Something that David Francisco has been able to do so, so well is use other people's emotions against them.

01:00:34Able to almost, look at this.

01:00:38Absolutely, in the last couple of months we've seen that David Francisco is a master of mind games.

01:00:43Talk about four arseholes.

01:00:46They're going to rip each other apart and I'm loving it.

01:00:50Yes, I don't know what way this match is going to go.

01:00:52I said Greedy Souls, but oh my.

01:00:54Watch out, TK Cooper wipes out Brendan White and David Francisco.

01:01:00Ducks underneath, Chuck Mambo from the top.

01:01:03Double blockbuster.

01:01:07And it might have been a party in their entrance, but it's no more fun and games in their hands.

01:01:12In their entrance, but it's no more fun and games in this matchup.

01:01:16It's all business.

01:01:19This match very much for Sunshine Machine.

01:01:21The personification of a mullet.

01:01:22A party at the front and business at the back.

01:01:25Absolutely.

01:01:28Oh wow, Chuck Mambo walking those ropes with style.

01:01:33Kicking away Danny Jones.

01:01:35Taking Santos for a walk.

01:01:36Here comes Francisco to try and protect his Golden Boy.

01:01:40Super kick.

01:01:41Mambo sits down.

01:01:45Nice arm drag from Chuck Mambo.

01:01:47And look at TK saying keep your mind on the game.

01:01:51Don't enjoy this moment too much.

01:01:54Look at this intensity.

01:01:56The Sunshine Machine pushing the pace.

01:02:01Nicely done.

01:02:02And this could be over before it started Andy.

01:02:06There's many ways to try and strategize yourself in these contests.

01:02:09You can try and keep yourself out of harm's way.

01:02:12But in doing that you risk a fall happening, don't you?

01:02:15But people don't realize how hard it is to score a pinfall in a matchup like this.

01:02:20When you've got eight men, seven other men all around the ring.

01:02:31And now Youngblood taking control in the middle of the ring.

01:02:34And what would it mean to these two young men?

01:02:37If they could win the RevPro Undisputed Tag Team Championships.

01:02:41To bring them back to Japan.

01:02:43It's not really to bring them back to Japan is it?

01:02:45Because they're here on excursion.

01:02:47And it would mean everything for them to win championship gold.

01:02:50Of course we've never seen a wrestler from New Japan Pro Wrestling on excursion win championship gold.

01:02:55Of course the Dominator Great Okan came the closest to it.

01:02:58Going undefeated for five years in RevPro.

01:03:01Going undefeated for five years in RevPro.

01:03:04And winning that championship gold.

01:03:06But it was after he'd graduated from that Young Lions system.

01:03:09And joined the United Empire.

01:03:11Loiba and Nakashima very much still on excursion.

01:03:15And they could walk away with championship gold in two weeks time.

01:03:18But to do that it would be at the expense of Sunshine Machine.

01:03:22But David Francisco may have other ideas to ruin history and ruin the party.

01:03:28But Mambo determined this match so far.

01:03:30Sunshine Machine have featured in so many critical plays here haven't they?

01:03:34Oh no! Big clothesline from Santos.

01:03:38The least favorite team in this contest by far.

01:03:41Yeah by a long shot.

01:03:43But that golden boy Santos, that lariat is so dangerous.

01:03:46Hoisting him up.

01:03:49And Chuck Mambo gets saved by Teat.

01:03:52Keeping Sunshine Machine in this match.

01:03:54And inadvertently keeping Greedy Souls and Youngblood in this match as well.

01:03:58Let's be honest. That's what this is all about.

01:04:01It's one fall to a finish here.

01:04:03And look at David Francisco.

01:04:05Tuning up the band here.

01:04:07David Francisco.

01:04:09Oh my goodness.

01:04:11Oh my goodness.

01:04:13Oh my goodness.

01:04:15David Francisco.

01:04:17What could he be looking for?

01:04:19I'm sorry I don't love.

01:04:25The headbutt messiah flying across the ring.

01:04:37Watch out Greedy Souls.

01:04:39Oh no they're going to steal it.

01:04:41They're going to steal it.

01:04:42Sunshine Machine did the warp.

01:04:44Oh no.

01:04:45Santos this time breaking it up.

01:04:50And so far Greedy Souls definitely the freshest team in this match up.

01:04:54Yeah they are aren't they?

01:04:55Yeah absolutely.

01:04:57And you can bet that's where they strategized it.

01:04:59I've seen them in Revolution Rumbles.

01:05:01Taking their sweet time.

01:05:02Picking their spots.

01:05:04Oscar Libre on the other hand.

01:05:05He doesn't care does he?

01:05:06He'll take it to both members of Greedy Souls.

01:05:09And he'll try and win this one on his own.

01:05:11But Danny Jones moves out of the way.

01:05:13And the speed and numbers of Greedy Souls.

01:05:16Too much for Libre.

01:05:18Danny Jones connects.

01:05:23Mambo breaking it up.

01:05:25And you notice the way as Mambo broke it up.

01:05:27He kept going.

01:05:28He kept rolling to try and create some distance.

01:05:30But Brendan White able to stop him in his tracks.

01:05:32Isolates him in the center of the ring.

01:05:34This is do or die for Chuck Mambo.

01:05:37Do or die for the Sunshine Machine.

01:05:39Oh did you hear that sickening thud?

01:05:43As Mambo and Sunshine Machine's Revolution Pro Wrestling career.

01:05:48Went clattering to that hard unforgiving floor.

01:05:51Yeah could that be the sound of Sunshine Machine's dreams of the Copper Box.

01:05:56Fading away.

01:05:57And it's not just the Copper Box.

01:05:58It's their dreams of teaming here in Revolution Pro Wrestling.

01:06:01It will be absolute heartbreak.

01:06:03Especially if they're not involved in the finish.

01:06:06This could be it.

01:06:07No.

01:06:09Talk about a last second break up from TK Cooper.

01:06:12I thought that was it.

01:06:13Yeah there's no love lost between Sunshine Machine and Youngblood either.

01:06:17Is there?

01:06:18But TK Cooper saving Youngblood to save themselves.

01:06:21But it may be all for nothing.

01:06:23Because Greedy Souls back in control of this contest.

01:06:26So much history between Greedy Souls and Sunshine Machine.

01:06:32Right now they're going to be looking for that Soul Destroyer.

01:06:35And if the Greedy Souls hit this it's over.

01:06:37But Loiba reaches out that long rangy leg inside cradle from Loiba.

01:06:42Uncharacteristic.

01:06:43Yet nearly got him.

01:06:44Here comes Francisco.

01:06:46Huge Claymore from Francisco.

01:06:48And one for Brendan White.

01:06:50David Francisco holding court now.

01:06:53At your call Bethnal Green.

01:06:58Wow Claymore.

01:06:59Brainbuster combination.

01:07:00They've stacked up the pin.

01:07:02They're going to Steldo.

01:07:04And David Francisco so opportunistic.

01:07:07He was just waiting on the outside of the road.

01:07:10Picking his moment to slide in.

01:07:12Can you imagine the nuclear reaction if Steldo and Francisco win this one?

01:07:16Yeah I think we'd have to get some security out here.

01:07:25Nakashima back in this contest now.

01:07:27And he's relatively fresh isn't he?

01:07:30Yeah not taking much punishment so far.

01:07:32With that MMA background.

01:07:34Absolutely.

01:07:35That street fighting background.

01:07:36Santos standing up to him.

01:07:38And Nakashima looks more than happy to try and chop down that big tree.

01:07:42Oh a knee strike from Yuto Nakashima.

01:07:45Here comes Francisco.

01:07:46Nakashima catches Francisco.

01:07:48And the guillotine applied into the DDT.

01:07:51And trust me when I say it would be a popular result if Youngblood won.

01:07:55However it would be a bittersweet result.

01:07:58Because it would mean the end of Sunshine Machine here in Revolution Pro Wrestling.

01:08:03But hang on.

01:08:05Don't you know.

01:08:07Sunshine Machine keeping connection with each other.

01:08:12Oh we've not seen this in a long while have we?

01:08:15Well it is your call Andy.

01:08:17They're busting out all the stops tonight.

01:08:20On the shoulders.

01:08:21TK Cooper.

01:08:23High risk.

01:08:24High reward.

01:08:26Yes.

01:08:28This could be their moment.

01:08:30TK Cooper wiping out the pile.

01:08:33And now.

01:08:34Now.

01:08:35It's Sunshine Machine's moment to make it count.

01:08:39Sunshine Machine just took everyone out.

01:08:41Super kick.

01:08:42Headbutt.

01:08:43Puts him up.

01:08:44They're looking for it later.

01:08:47This is it.

01:08:48Sunshine Machine to go to the copper box baby.

01:08:50Designated driver.

01:08:54Look at that lad.

01:08:57They did it.

01:08:59The machine rose on.

01:09:04Sunshine Machine is still alive.

01:09:07Here are your winners.

01:09:11And now.

01:09:12The number one contender.

01:09:15For the Alliance of Stupid Wrecking Team Championship.

01:09:21Sunshine Machine.

01:09:27Sunshine Machine have done it.

01:09:30Sunshine Machine.

01:09:32Your number one contenders.

01:09:35To the undisputed British Tag Team Championships.

01:09:40And now.

01:09:41The biggest show in Wreck Pro history.

01:09:44It's gonna be do or die.

01:09:47Championships.

01:09:48All bust.

01:09:50Sunshine Machine.

01:09:52Grizzled young veterans.

01:09:54The copper box.

01:09:56And Greedy Soul's getting in the face of Youngbloods now.

01:10:00Well this is a combustible situation in the middle of the ring right now.

01:10:03And Francisco and Goldenboy trying to get involved as well.

01:10:08Well this was broken down again.

01:10:10This match is over.

01:10:14Hang on to the numbers game.

01:10:17Greedy Souls and Youngbloods teamed up.

01:10:21So Greedy Souls and Francisco and Santos teaming up on Youngbloods.

01:10:25It's four on two right now.

01:10:27We need to get some help out here.

01:10:29They're in all kinds of trouble.

01:10:31Hang on a minute.

01:10:32Here comes Joshua James.

01:10:34Josh James is here.

01:10:37A forward in the side.

01:10:38And David Francisco.

01:10:40Big tackle on Francisco.

01:10:43And Josh James.

01:10:45A fresh Josh-

01:10:47And here's a standoff.

01:10:49Josh James and Santos.

01:10:52They're colliding.

01:10:53Oh no.

01:10:54David Francisco from behind.

01:10:55Raking the eyes.

01:10:56Raking the eyes.

01:10:57My goodness.

01:11:00And a mugging now.

01:11:02A mugging now.

01:11:03A mugging.

01:11:05On Joshua James.

01:11:07What?

01:11:08We're not having fun?

01:11:09Oh give me a break.

01:11:11You lost.

01:11:12Get out of here.

01:11:13This match is over.

01:11:16Well you better get used to it.

01:11:18Because we are going to continue to clean the filth out.

01:11:24This is the scene.

01:11:26We are the new Kings of York Hall.

01:11:32Kings of York Hall.

01:11:33They lost.

01:11:34Kings of York Hall.

01:11:35Talk about Kings of York Hall.

01:11:40David Francisco has made a lot of enemies.

01:11:45We know he's here tonight Leighton.

01:11:48And there he is.

01:11:50The true King of York Hall has returned to take his throne.

01:11:57The East End shut him back.

01:12:01Clean in house.

01:12:03And David Francisco be careful what you wish for.

01:12:06Because you just might get it.

01:12:08Charles Samuels catches a fist.

01:12:10Not once but twice.

01:12:11All over David Francisco.

01:12:15And we can confirm that Charles Samuels has been cleared to compete.

01:12:20And what does that mean for David Francisco?

01:12:22What it means for David Francisco is it looks like he's seen a ghost.

01:12:30Charles Samuels is back.

01:12:34David Francisco take note.

01:12:37Notice how David Francisco is still clutching on to that scarf of Charles Samuels.

01:12:47Brendan White is taking a souvenir as well.

01:13:04Well I was going to say if greedy souls Santos and Francisco were on the same page we'd be in a lot of trouble.

01:13:14But it looks like Charles Samuels and Josh James are here to even up the numbers.

01:13:24This is a combustible, combustible situation.

01:13:33This is a combustible situation.

01:13:39This is a combustible situation.

01:13:45This is a combustible situation.

01:13:53Over the fire.

01:13:58This is a combustible situation.

01:14:05Looks like Big Oscar is limping on that leg.

01:14:07I think we need to get a medic out there.

01:14:09Absolutely.

01:14:10Big thanks to Sule Al Gore once again.

01:14:12Yeah, he took some serious punishment in that match-up.

01:14:17Luckily, Shaw Samuels, the East End Butcher, came to save the men from that muggage.

01:14:26Shaw Samuels reclaims his crown, reclaims his throne.

01:14:33The King and your core is back.

01:14:38And you saw him point to the armband there, in memory of his former Tag Team Championship winning partner, James Castle.

01:14:45Pedro Caballero!

01:14:48This guy is truly insane.

01:14:52Splash from the top rope to the floor.

01:14:57A real character.

01:15:02He's a brawler, he's a bruiser.

01:15:09The match is underway.

01:15:13Wow, it looks like we've got our first entrant in the British J-Cup as Caballero returns.

01:15:20September 28th, what an announcement.

01:15:34And the action keeps going.

01:15:36The action keeps going, and anyone who witnessed their contest in

01:15:42Stevenage knows we're in for one hell of a treat.

01:15:46This young man right there is a very real deal.

01:15:52One of the very best young wrestlers in the world today.

01:15:57The Freestyler, a representative of the Spanish National Amateur Wrestling Team.

01:16:05But his heart and soul belongs to professional wrestling and the fans of Red Pro.

01:16:29And this young man made his Revolution Pro Wrestling debut on April the 13th.

01:16:35And since that time he's been nothing but a revelation, and he's not missed a single show.

01:16:43This guy is a man, and listen to the way that people have got behind him.

01:16:47And we talked about high stakes, what would it mean for Zazaya

01:16:51to get on the Copper Box so early on in his Revolution Pro Wrestling career?

01:16:58You talk to someone who hasn't got a clear path to the Copper Box,

01:17:02what about this man right here? A former undisputed British Heavyweight Champion

01:17:07who's in some rare form. It was RKJ that defeated Zazaya in Stevenage.

01:17:13It was a war of attrition, it was an all-out physical, physical contest.

01:17:21And RKJ relishes a fight, he relishes a challenge, and he's ready for round two.

01:17:27And you know what I say? Let's fucking go!

01:17:33It was a new me, I just can't help swearing.

01:17:35I'm shocked, Andy, I'm shocked.

01:17:37It's Super Fight Season, isn't it?

01:17:39But I've got to agree with you, what a contest these two men had at Stevenage early on this year.

01:17:45I can't wait to see round two.

01:17:51And if Zazaya could knock off a former undisputed British Heavyweight Champion,

01:17:58it could be huge for his career here at Red Pro.

01:18:33Split down the middle between this one, two fan favorites standing in the ring.

01:18:48There's a sign of respect in this one.

01:18:50And Ric Flair Jr, you notice, showing a lot more respect now at the top of this contest

01:18:54than he did at the top of their war in Stevenage.

01:18:56And if you haven't seen that match, I urge you to seek it out right here on RedProOnDemand.com.

01:19:01One hell of a professional wrestling match, but don't do it just yet,

01:19:04because you don't want to miss this action for a second.

01:19:07RKJ is Zazaya 2, and this time it's happening in York Hall Bethnal Green,

01:19:12this famous fight venue.

01:19:13And Zazaya, of course, when we talk about taking it to the mat,

01:19:16there's no one better in Revolution Pro Wrestling than Zazaya.

01:19:18But what RKJ has is a professional wrestling background that dates back to

01:19:23learning how to walk, really, doesn't it?

01:19:25Because he learned how to lock up before he learned how to walk.

01:19:28Ricky Knight Jr is absolutely no slouch.

01:19:32And oh, look at that, wow!

01:19:33Open palm, slap to the side of the face.

01:19:36Let's call it for what it is, a big slap, if you will, to the face of Zazaya

01:19:41to welcome him into this fight.

01:19:43And RKJ, make no mistake.

01:19:45Listen, you're a great strategist, Leighton.

01:19:47You probably recognize this fact.

01:19:49RKJ is trying to take Zazaya out of this element, because he knows, Zazaya knows,

01:19:55he can out-wrestle anyone.

01:19:57But can he out-fight RKJ?

01:20:00And that's what Ricky Knight Jr relies on.

01:20:02He relies upon that intimidation on his opponent, and it works so well for him.

01:20:09And that's what I love about these two men.

01:20:11It's such a clash of styles.

01:20:13Yeah, that's what pro wrestling is all about, isn't it?

01:20:15They say styles make matches, as RKJ takes Zazaya down.

01:20:19Zazaya with a drop down, nice leapfrog.

01:20:21RKJ not wasting any motion there, stops, nearly trips Zazaya up,

01:20:25but Zazaya keeps going and gets caught.

01:20:28And that sleep there, he got so close to the feet of Zazaya,

01:20:33he took him off balance, and that enabled RKJ, just that split second,

01:20:38it enabled RKJ to connect with a big drop kick as Zazaya came back off the ropes.

01:20:42Yeah, right on the money, that drop kick, right in the chin of Zazaya.

01:20:46Drop down again from Zazaya, not making the aim, oh no!

01:20:50Zazaya trying to do a little bit of what RKJ did there,

01:20:53and falling foul, but not that time.

01:20:56Just rolled forward and caught RKJ with a big drop kick.

01:21:01You're seeing Zazaya almost learn on the job here,

01:21:03because you notice he didn't rush in a second time, he stayed in the center of the ring.

01:21:07Yeah, you can see that these two men already know each other a lot better from that first contest.

01:21:13And from the opening stages of this one,

01:21:15he made adjustments in the opening stages, and that's impressive.

01:21:19Zazaya, nice fireman carry over, RKJ in trouble.

01:21:24Zazaya gets himself to the middle rope, watch out, Zazaya to the toe, wow!

01:21:28So smart from RKJ.

01:21:30A slight at the hand from RKJ, and Zazaya is done!

01:21:34Hanging neckbreaker, and there's a deep cover, just a two count, but that's close.

01:21:40And RKJ now has found an opening, and like I said,

01:21:43Just a two count, but that's close.

01:21:45And RKJ now has found an opening, and like a true craftsman,

01:21:49you can expect him to take advantage of that fact.

01:21:52And you know, you work on that head and neck area,

01:21:55what's the one move that's won RKJ Championships?

01:21:59And huge, huge matches everywhere he goes.

01:22:01That Kishi driver, was that target latent?

01:22:07It's a question.

01:22:08Sorry, I was just waiting to hear that, Andy.

01:22:10But it's the head he's going for, baby.

01:22:13Head and neck, but really when you can chop like that,

01:22:16you can't forget about the head and neck, because...

01:22:20RKJ, arguably the most dangerous striker in the history of Revolution Pro Wrestling.

01:22:29He's gritty, isn't he?

01:22:31I have been on the receiving end of those chops,

01:22:34and I can tell you it is not a good feeling.

01:22:37Right now, all of the air is leaving the body, leaving the chest of Zazaya.

01:22:42And what I will say, Leighton, is look at Zazaya.

01:22:47He was looking for a single leg pick there,

01:22:48hanging on to the leg, going back to that amateur wrestling.

01:22:51And that's smart strategy from Zazaya,

01:22:54but Ricky Knight Jr. not allowing it to happen.

01:22:57We saw him in that first contest get caught a couple of times, didn't we?

01:23:01And he's going to have to try and...

01:23:02Oh, come on!

01:23:04This is one side of RKJ I don't like to see, as he's...

01:23:08We call it the Vinny.

01:23:09Listen, he likes to have some fun, RKJ.

01:23:13You might not like it, Arnie, but it works.

01:23:17Yeah, and of course, Vinny Jones made that famous

01:23:20when he played for Wimbledon, also known as the Crazy Gang.

01:23:23And when we talk about Crazy Gangs,

01:23:24you can talk about the family of Ricky Knight Jr.

01:23:26and the environment he grew up in.

01:23:28But it's an environment that turns him into a world beater.

01:23:32This is a Death Valley Driver,

01:23:34and a huge drop kick from RKJ, and he's not done.

01:23:39Wow!

01:23:40Talk about a follow-through and pure venom.

01:23:43No, no, no, no, no.

01:23:44Not on the other side.

01:23:45There's no mats out there.

01:23:46Referee's got this.

01:23:47No, no, no.

01:23:48Oh, Zazire fights his way out.

01:23:50Zazire fighting his way out.

01:23:52He was going for that Hangman DDT on the wooden floor.

01:23:55Yeah, the London Bridge, if you will.

01:23:57But, oh, RKJ just dumps him over the railing now.

01:23:59Oh, Zazire!

01:24:01He tried to springboard off that rail.

01:24:03He's going for it again, Arnie.

01:24:07Jesus Christ!

01:24:10The London Bridge using the barricade.

01:24:14Spikes Zazire on the top of his head,

01:24:17on the hardwood floor here at your call.

01:24:22I don't know if he's trying to finish the match or his career.

01:24:30Deep cover, just a two count.

01:24:32Ricky Knight Jr., such a dangerous competitor.

01:24:34And what you've got to remember,

01:24:36is this man has been wrestling his whole life.

01:24:38He's got the ring IQ of a man twice his age.

01:24:42Absolutely, he has.

01:24:46And RKJ hands out.

01:24:47And this is one thing that could cost Ricky Knight Jr.

01:24:49We know he's very confident.

01:24:50We know he's got an ego.

01:24:51And listen, you can debate it.

01:24:54You can talk against it.

01:24:55And what I will say is in regards to having an ego,

01:24:59some champions need that.

01:25:01It's what sets him apart from the rest.

01:25:04But there's a thin line between arrogance and confidence

01:25:07as Ricky Knight Jr. again

01:25:09connects with Death Valley Driver in the corner.

01:25:11And is he going to look for that drop kick again?

01:25:13No, he's just measuring Zazire now.

01:25:16Yeah, you know what they say, Andy,

01:25:17pride comes before the fall.

01:25:20And talk about a fall,

01:25:22Ricky Knight Jr. just ate boot into the side of a jaw

01:25:25as Zazire connects with a back elbow.

01:25:27Zazire now kicking away,

01:25:29changing the levels of those kicks.

01:25:32From the middle to the top, Zazire!

01:25:35We saw him go for that earlier on.

01:25:37This time he connects.

01:25:39And one thing that sets Zazire apart from the rest,

01:25:44Leighton, is the ease he does this with.

01:25:47He makes it look effortless, so to speak.

01:25:51It's very rare you see someone with the poise

01:25:54of that young man.

01:25:55Yeah, one of the most naturally gifted athletes

01:25:57I've ever seen.

01:25:58To a midsection.

01:26:01Zazire again to a midsection.

01:26:03Rolls through.

01:26:04And Zazire now is fired up.

01:26:06He loves to change up directions.

01:26:08It's so hard to see him coming.

01:26:10RKJ, his legs are turned to jelly.

01:26:12He's out on his feet.

01:26:14And Zazire connects again.

01:26:15This time, hoists him up on the shoulders

01:26:17and dumps him.

01:26:18And dumps him in the center of the ring.

01:26:20And Zazire now making that cover.

01:26:23Covering purely the shoulders.

01:26:25And that was a mistake, Leighton.

01:26:26Covering purely the shoulders of RKJ,

01:26:29allowing him to kick out.

01:26:30Yeah, if you want to keep Ricky Knight Jr. down for the three,

01:26:32you've got to hook that leg.

01:26:34Yeah, you've got to cover the whole entire body, don't you?

01:26:36Got such big leg strength as Ricky Knight Jr.

01:26:41We talked about the heart of Zazire,

01:26:42but talk about the heart of Ricky Knight Jr.

01:26:49Oh, RKJ slips out.

01:26:52Just a two count.

01:26:53You've got to be so...

01:26:54Oh my goodness!

01:26:55RKJ was waiting to set him up for that.

01:26:57Looking for a kichy driver.

01:26:58Zazire slips out.

01:26:59Rolls him through.

01:27:01Just a one count.

01:27:02RKJ rolls through this time.

01:27:03Zazire went for a super kick.

01:27:04RKJ catches, connects to the jaw.

01:27:07RKJ with a defiant scream that gets caught.

01:27:11A sidestep from Ricky Knight Jr.

01:27:13Zazire back to his feet again.

01:27:15Somehow, someway.

01:27:17Oh my goodness!

01:27:19Zazire picked him out of midair in desperation.

01:27:24Ricky Knight Jr. went for that springboard moonsault.

01:27:27And Zazire connects with that jumping super kick

01:27:30we've seen from him before.

01:27:32And that couldn't have been more on the money.

01:27:34One thing I'll say is so impressive about Zazire,

01:27:36from that occasion,

01:27:37we've seen RKJ hit those springboard forearms.

01:27:39It's been a long while since he's popped out a springboard moonsault.

01:27:43And perhaps the reason he did it in this encounter

01:27:45is because he never utilized it in the last encounter between the pair.

01:27:49And as a result of that,

01:27:51he's tried to catch him off guard.

01:27:52But Zazire has such a high wrestling IQ,

01:27:55able to think on the go, so to speak,

01:27:58and pick him out with a huge kick.

01:28:00And Zazire wants to do everything to win this match.

01:28:02I have no doubt that he's been studying Ricky Knight Jr.'s tapes as well.

01:28:06And I can't do anything but emphasize how hot it is here tonight.

01:28:09One more time.

01:28:10They call it the summer sizzler for a reason.

01:28:12They also call it the road to a 12-year anniversary show

01:28:16coming your way in two weeks' time.

01:28:17Live from the Copper Box Arena,

01:28:19Zazire from the top, springboard dropkick.

01:28:21And RKJ rolls himself out of the ring.

01:28:24Was that ring awareness?

01:28:26Was that the force of a dropkick?

01:28:29I guess we'll wait to see.

01:28:31And Zazire now to the top.

01:28:33Oh, wow.

01:28:35Wow.

01:28:37Zazire leaping to the top rope with ease.

01:28:52And so far, the second half of this matchup has been all Zazire.

01:28:56Ricky Knight Jr. has hurt.

01:28:58Oh, wow.

01:29:02Oh, this does not look good for the killer.

01:29:05We see that stage used to great effect earlier on.

01:29:08Oh, big back body drop.

01:29:10Sickening FUD.

01:29:15What's Ricky Knight Jr. got in mind here?

01:29:17He's just thrown him on the stage.

01:29:19I was about to say Ricky Knight Jr. might be trying to get a count out here.

01:29:22But that's not RKJ's style, is it?

01:29:24Zazire has gone through the curtain.

01:29:25He's not even out here.

01:29:27And perhaps that's smart from him.

01:29:28He's back.

01:29:29Here we go.

01:29:30The element of surprise is something so, so special.

01:29:34Zazire now from a tunnel.

01:29:37Jesus Christ.

01:29:40Oh, my.

01:29:41Oh, geez.

01:29:42RKJ, he took a nasty fall there.

01:29:47Not only the impact of that destroyer there on that hard stage.

01:29:53The momentum took him backwards and all the way down the stairs.

01:29:56Yeah, he could have smacked his head on the way down.

01:30:00Earlier on, we saw that DDT on the outside from Ricky Knight Jr.

01:30:04And now the Canadian destroyer on the ramp from Zazire.

01:30:08What more do these two men have to do?

01:30:15I'm amazed that either of these men are still standing.

01:30:18You know what?

01:30:19I'm not amazed because I've seen them compete before.

01:30:23I thought there's no way that they could top Stevenage.

01:30:25The heart of Warriors here.

01:30:27Jesus Christ.

01:30:28He got him with a shooting start.

01:30:34Is it two?

01:30:35Was it a two?

01:30:41This isn't looking good.

01:30:43I think Zazire got him there.

01:30:44I think he got him.

01:30:47Yeah, and caught the bell.

01:30:49Yeah.

01:30:51I know we couldn't see the other side from here though, Andy.

01:30:53I don't know if that shoulder was up.

01:30:54I think this is over.

01:30:55I think Zazire wins the match.

01:30:58This isn't looking good, Andy.

01:30:59Medics.

01:31:09Was Zazire going to win this match?

01:31:11Is a referee stoppage here?

01:31:19Yeah, Ricky Knight Jr. didn't move after that one.

01:31:30Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a top medical team here at Revolution Pro Wrestling.

01:31:34Don't worry, they're going to do everything they can to look after Ricky Knight Jr.

01:31:36and we'll keep you updated as we go.

01:31:38And Zazire has a hand raise.

01:31:40This isn't how he'd want to win.

01:31:43This isn't how he wants to win here.

01:31:45This isn't how he wants to win here.

01:31:48But...

01:31:51Yeah, Ricky Knight Jr. hurt.

01:31:57Yeah, the official decision here going to be a referee stoppage.

01:32:00Zazire came down hard with that shoes-in star press.

01:32:06I think Rev Hart, he counted to two.

01:32:08He noticed Ricky Knight Jr. was hurt.

01:32:11And he just stopped the match there and then.

01:32:15Make some noise as it is now time for your Earthly Student British Women's Championship.

01:32:27Please welcome the wrestlers to the ring.

01:32:45And here comes Nina Samuels.

01:32:50And look, she's not coming alone.

01:32:53Yeah, did you expect any less Andy?

01:33:00We've learned by now that we never see these women alone.

01:33:04Where there's one, there's more.

01:33:07Absolutely, they travel like a gang of thugs.

01:33:10And right now, how scary would it be if this group won that

01:33:15undisputed British Women's Championship?

01:33:17They say they're a group of equals.

01:33:40And referee also is going to have to keep a close eye on this one.

01:33:57We've got four extra women ringside.

01:34:00Yes, we do.

01:34:00And they seem to be getting themselves in the ring.

01:34:02If someone would like to explain to me why they get themselves into the ring.

01:34:14And here comes our champion.

01:34:19You saw the dismissive glare from Nina Samuels.

01:34:26And if you think you're going to intimidate Danny Luna,

01:34:30then you are sadly mistaken.

01:34:41She doesn't care if it's one women, four women,

01:34:44ten women, Danny Luna will take on all comers.

01:34:50And so far, the challenge for the Cobble Box still remains.

01:35:04Yeah, we're yet to find a team who wants to step up to this gang of thugs.

01:35:09We saw Debbie Kaito and Kanji stand up to Vin Coventry two weeks ago.

01:35:14And listen, I'm hearing rumblings, there's women all over the place

01:35:18that want to take down this gang of thugs, a cutthroat society.

01:35:23As we hand you over to Francesca for the official announcement,

01:35:26the Undisputed British Women's Championship on the line.

01:35:29The main contest is a women's division singles match with a 60 minute time limit.

01:35:38Scheduled for the fall.

01:35:41And it is for the Undisputed British Women's Championship.

01:35:52Introducing first, the challenger, representing Cutthroat Collective, Nina Samuels.

01:36:10And look how pleased with herself she is.

01:36:14It looks like she knows something we don't,

01:36:16but so do all those women around the outside of the ring.

01:36:21And introducing the current reigning and defending Undisputed British Women's Champion,

01:36:32from Camden, London, representing Subculture, this is Dani Luna.

01:36:49And we called Shaw Samuels the king of York Hall earlier.

01:36:55If that's the case, then Dani Luna has a fair stake of being the queen of York Hall.

01:37:00Absolutely she does.

01:37:02And few people forget that violent and vicious dog collar match she had

01:37:08with one of the women on the outside of the ring, Alex Windsor.

01:37:11Yeah, not just one of the best matches in Revolution Pro Wrestling this year,

01:37:15but one of the best matches in British Wrestling this year.

01:37:19Come on, Alexa!

01:37:29And we notice that Alex Windsor is back and she is ringside with the Cutthroat Collective.

01:37:35Hang on a second, they're getting up on the apron already.

01:37:37Come on!

01:37:38The bell's just rung.

01:37:45But Dani Luna's not backing down.

01:37:49Oh, Nina went into this yebo there.

01:37:54I think inadvertently took her out.

01:37:56Shoulder tackle from Luna on Nina Samuels.

01:37:58And Dani Luna's not going to allow herself to be bullied by this gang of thugs, is she?

01:38:01She will have strategized for this eventuality.

01:38:19And I don't know what this tactic is from these women.

01:38:23What do you think?

01:38:24Do you think they're going to have a clean contest here?

01:38:26Yeah, well, no, I don't.

01:38:27And I think Dani Luna knows that.

01:38:29I think referee Oscar Harding needs to get a handle on this situation.

01:38:33And we need to get Nina Samuels cohorts out of here.

01:38:37But I think that Oscar Harding, he knows what could happen

01:38:40if he tries to initiate something like that.

01:38:42We've seen them tear up the ring.

01:38:44We've seen them tear up officials, photographers.

01:38:49Oscar Harding's got to worry about his own safety in this matchup as well.

01:38:52Yeah, Nina Samuels there.

01:38:53A big slam on Dani Luna, dropping a vicious leg.

01:38:57I don't think she's going to get the count here.

01:38:59No, she didn't.

01:38:59Just a one count there on Dani Luna.

01:39:02But she certainly was able to lay down a marker there

01:39:04and force Nina Samuels to exert a lot of energy early on.

01:39:08Dani Luna hanging on to the ropes.

01:39:10Look at that tenacious look on the face of Dani Luna.

01:39:12Yeah, Nina Samuels is not going to outpower Dani Luna.

01:39:16I don't think any woman in Revolution Pro Wrestling could.

01:39:21Finding some volume now.

01:39:23Those clotheslines, nice.

01:39:25Exploder-like suplex from Dani Luna.

01:39:28Looking to pick the pace now.

01:39:29Seated lariat.

01:39:30No wasted motion straight into that pinning attempt.

01:39:33Just a two count.

01:39:34A fresh or relatively fresh Nina Samuels was able to kick out early.

01:39:37What I liked about that was the way that Dani Luna wasted no motion

01:39:41and wasted no time whatsoever.

01:39:43Wasted no time whatsoever.

01:39:45Not allowing Nina Samuels a chance to breathe.

01:39:48Listen to the crowd firmly behind Luna now.

01:39:57Nice snap suplex from Luna.

01:39:59She's not finished, she holds on.

01:40:00Another person who doesn't know who her opponent's going to be

01:40:03in two weeks time.

01:40:04Saturday, August 24th.

01:40:05Live from the Copper Box Arena.

01:40:08When presumably she'll put that undisputed women's championship on the line.

01:40:11Of course, Nina Samuels could walk away with it here tonight.

01:40:15And that would change the complexion of the entire event, wouldn't it?

01:40:21Mercedes Blades.

01:40:22And referee Oscar didn't see it.

01:40:26And this is a problem with this numbers game.

01:40:29But we also know, Andy, the open challenge is out.

01:40:32What's not to say that Dani Luna could join the team of women in that matchup?

01:40:35But absolutely, it's all up in the air right now.

01:40:37It's all up in the air.

01:40:38And with the withdrawal of Stephanie Verkeur,

01:40:41like I say, the contracts are still open.

01:40:44And we're going to have to watch this space.

01:40:45It's going to be an exciting and eventful two weeks.

01:40:48Don't forget our final stop before York Hall Bethnal Green is next Sunday.

01:40:51Live from the 1865 in Southampton.

01:40:54You don't want to miss that one.

01:40:54Of course, we'll be streaming it live right here on reprondemand.com.

01:40:58The final stop on the road to the Copper Box.

01:41:01And a more reliable internet connection at the 1865.

01:41:04It's an old building here, York Hall.

01:41:06We're doing the best we can here.

01:41:07If you're trying to watch it live.

01:41:09As Nina Samuels catches the back elbow.

01:41:11Nice snap there.

01:41:14Wow, nice targeted offense from Samuels,

01:41:17who takes a page out of Luna's book.

01:41:20Going quickly to that cover, not allowing any momentum to slow.

01:41:23A beautiful combination from Nina Samuels.

01:41:26Head first into the canvas goes Luna.

01:41:29Looking for a submission now.

01:41:30Yeah, and listen.

01:41:31One thing that Nina Samuels doesn't have, which Dani Luna does,

01:41:34is 1,000 plus people on her side.

01:41:37There's close to 1,200 people here at York Hall, Beryl Thorngreen.

01:41:40I think we had something like 12 tickets left when this doors opened.

01:41:45And they may well have sold on the door.

01:41:46So there's a lateral press from Samuels.

01:41:48Just a two count.

01:41:49But I don't think Nina Samuels and these women care about that.

01:41:52I think they relish in the fact that this audience hates them.

01:41:54Yes, they may well do.

01:41:56But Dani Luna, we know she feeds off the energy of this crowd.

01:41:59So whilst they might relish it.

01:42:01Whilst they might not care.

01:42:03I can guarantee you Dani Luna absolutely does care.

01:42:06And she will use the energy of this crowd to try and keep fighting.

01:42:10She says Dani Luna will not die for a reason.

01:42:13But Nina Samuels looking to put that to the test right now.

01:42:15As Dani Luna hung out to dry.

01:42:17Samuels big drop kick.

01:42:19Wow, huge impact there.

01:42:21As Nina Samuels tight, tight cover.

01:42:24And a split second away from hearing the words.

01:42:26And new right here live in York Hall, Beryl Thorngreen.

01:42:31Did you see the way that Dani Luna's neck snapped back.

01:42:34After that drop kick in the ropes.

01:42:36Absolutely and Nina Samuels also someone who's undefeated since returning.

01:42:39Here to Revolution Pro Wrestling.

01:42:44She's certainly got a very different attitude.

01:42:46Than when she was last here in Rev Pro.

01:42:49Yeah, I think these four women might have something to do with that though.

01:43:01Huge blow from Nina Samuels right to the back of Dani Luna.

01:43:10And so far the game plan from Nina Samuels has been executed very well in this matchup.

01:43:20We saw a flurry of offense from Dani Luna early on.

01:43:23But since then it's been all Nina Samuels.

01:43:26But I think it was since, since that push off the top rope.

01:43:30The referee Oscar didn't see Dani Luna has been hurt.

01:43:40And a taste of her own medicine there.

01:43:41Nina Samuels plummet into the floor.

01:43:51And Dani Luna maybe let her emotions get the better of her.

01:43:56Looked like she was going to take out all those women.

01:43:58And she paid for it.

01:44:12Nina Samuels driving the back of Dani Luna into that steel apron.

01:44:26Samuels throwing Luna into the ring.

01:44:35Nina Samuels this has gone all her way hasn't it.

01:44:38The game plan of the cutthroat collective is coming up dividends here.

01:44:43Yeah and I called it.

01:44:44It's since that push off the top that referee Oscar did not see.

01:44:48It's been a bad night for referees tonight hasn't it.

01:44:51And look at the women on the outside of the ring.

01:44:57They are just loving this.

01:45:02They put their loyalty to the test if Nina Samuels won this championship though wouldn't it.

01:45:07Because they call themselves a group of equals.

01:45:09And look I'm not trying to stir things up.

01:45:10But what if Nina Samuels were to win.

01:45:12That's Dani Luna though.

01:45:14She's not letting me put that theory to the test.

01:45:16Because she is still fighting.

01:45:19Connecting with a drop kick.

01:45:20Both women are down right now.

01:45:22And Dani Luna needs to try and rally here.

01:45:25Yeah it would be hard to call them a group of equals.

01:45:28If one is the undisputed British Women's Champion.

01:45:32And does that jeopardize that five women challenge for two weeks time at the Copper Box Arena.

01:45:37Which as of yet as we say is still unanswered.

01:45:40Yeah what's not to say Nina Samuels have won a big singles matchup.

01:45:43A big title defense.

01:45:44Dani Luna catching the punch.

01:45:47Not once but twice.

01:45:51Make it free Dani Luna now.

01:45:52Yeah finding some volumes of those forearms.

01:45:54She hoisted up on the shoulders.

01:45:55Perhaps looking for that Luna landing.

01:45:56Samuels having none of it.

01:45:58But Dani Luna able to connect with a big boot.

01:46:02And Luna now able to regain some composure or compose herself.

01:46:06Yeah this could be the opening she's been looking for.

01:46:11And this is what we spoke about early on.

01:46:13A thousand strong here in York Hall behind Dani Luna.

01:46:22Oh dropping the leg head first down into the canvas goes Samuels.

01:46:26Big powerbomb stacks her up.

01:46:28This could be it.

01:46:29Two and a half.

01:46:30Huge snap powerbomb from the undisputed British Women's Champion Dani Luna.

01:46:38But still only a two.

01:46:43But now Dani Luna firmly in control.

01:46:49Could be looking for that Luna landing now.

01:46:50She can connect.

01:46:52Samuels floats over the top.

01:46:58Dani Luna evades her but gets caught by the boot.

01:47:01Straight to the side of the jaw that Dani Luna rocked.

01:47:04Yeah Dani Luna swung that punch but got caught with a kick right to the head.

01:47:08Up to the top.

01:47:08Oh she's been watching her Jack Cartwheel tapes hasn't she?

01:47:12My goodness what a boot from Samuels.

01:47:15Hoisting up Dani Luna back onto that middle rope to put her in prone position.

01:47:19She's looking for a powerbomb.

01:47:20Dani Luna trying to use her upper body strength to hang on.

01:47:23And she managed to find an escape with a straight right hand.

01:47:26But Samuels kicks a boot away.

01:47:29Dani Luna she's so valiantly fighting isn't she?

01:47:32But Nina Samuels seems to have an answer for everything.

01:47:35And now she's going to the knee.

01:47:36And you wonder if Nina Samuels has got some notes from Alex Windsor don't you?

01:47:40Yeah and I just want to remind everyone that that's that surgically repaired knee as well.

01:47:44That's what I was alluding to.

01:47:47Oh hang on.

01:47:50Slightly illegal.

01:47:53Oscar's going to allow it.

01:47:54He didn't see anything.

01:47:57Uncharacteristic from the champion but god damn it worked.

01:48:01Turnabout is fair play.

01:48:03Dani Luna giving Nina Samuels a taste for her own medicine.

01:48:06Using that hair to whip her across the ring.

01:48:08Listen it's a championship match.

01:48:09Referee's discretion here.

01:48:11Yeah can you imagine the outcry from the Cutthroat Society if Oscar Harding was to call a DQ there?

01:48:22Oh look she's going to look for a super jump and suplex here.

01:48:25And oh Evo is uh Evo distracting Raphalv.

01:48:30As they've just pulled Samuels out of harm's way.

01:48:33But Dani Luna wow wipes out all three members on the outside.

01:48:37Evo still alive on the outside.

01:48:39Oh my goodness.

01:48:42Not even time to celebrate a rare victory against this gang of thugs.

01:48:46As Nina Samuels with a baseball slide sent her flying.

01:48:50Before the side suplex across the side of the ring.

01:48:53That steel girder that surrounds it.

01:48:56And Samuels drives her up her back her neck first.

01:48:59Across her knee stacks her up.

01:49:02No Dani Luna kicks out.

01:49:04Beautiful Yushi Goroshi from Nina Samuels.

01:49:08But still not enough to get the job done.

01:49:11It's going to take more than that to put the champion away.

01:49:17Samuels can't believe it.

01:49:21And neither can the rest of the Cutthroat Collective on the outside of the ring.

01:49:26Nina Samuels trying to compose herself.

01:49:28Taking herself to a rope.

01:49:29So I think this is a mistake from Samuels.

01:49:31How often do you see Nina Samuels go to the ropes?

01:49:33Samuels going to the top rope.

01:49:34But this, oh no.

01:49:35Crashed and burned.

01:49:38Dani Luna now looking for, oh no.

01:49:41Nice, nice reversal with a back body drop from Samuels.

01:49:45Samuels charges.

01:49:46Luna gets a boot up.

01:49:47Now Dani Luna from the middle gets caught again.

01:49:49Nina Samuels say what you like about her.

01:49:51But she's on her game.

01:49:53Going for that powerbomb again.

01:49:55And this time she finds it.

01:49:56Sits out powerbomb.

01:49:58New champion.

01:49:59No.
