00:00His main event time Andy. It's a match I've been looking forward to since it was announced
00:25on RevolutionProWrestling.com. Now this is one of those matches Andy that
00:29you just love, love to look forward to. Put your camera down you absolutely cringy weirdo.
00:35I'm taking some pictures for Instagram. Oh my god. Speedball can you sign my picture
00:42please. Put your phone away. You stop.
01:04This is one of those matches Andy that you just love to look forward to.
01:07The funky monkey against the man that gravity forgot. Why would you not be looking forward
01:13to this match? I didn't say I wasn't but this is what you set up all night sweating. You wake up
01:18in the middle of the night like oh my god today's the day. With two titans alive. What's wrong with
01:26being a fan of professional wrestling? I'm a fan of professional wrestling. I like professional
01:30wrestling. I like both these men. I'm not knocking it for one second. Don't think I am. I'm knocking
01:35you. You like to tell everyone on the A-squared circle wrestling podcast that I'm a bully.
01:41Therefore I am bullying you. Thanks very much.
02:05As we await the return of one of British wrestling's greatest exports and there he is Andy boy.
02:35And I've been waiting to say this for a long time Andy boy.
02:42Pac is back. He's wasted no time getting in the face of Speedball Mike Bailey.
02:52Well Speedball he's been about. He's been making a name for himself all over the world.
02:59Pac seems a little bit apprehensive Andy. I'm not sure he's
03:02he's having the time of the life that you probably think he is.
03:06So
03:19so
03:36Isabelle sounds and it's go time with tonight's main event. Pac versus Speedball Mike Bailey.
03:44And this is going to be a great reintroduction to the independent wrestling scene
03:49for the man that gravity forgot. Isn't it Andy? It sure is. The time Pac has been away.
03:56Tearing it up in the
04:00United States of America. Bailey's got some fans here hasn't he?
04:14You turn up looking like Pac. I don't know why the whole the whole building wasn't on their feet.
04:25And Pac's not going to give Speedball the shake of a hand. We've seen a
04:31an attitude from Pac haven't we? He was resurfacing in Dragon Gate.
04:45Here's a question you can answer me Andy. Has Pac ever actually wrestled for Revolution Pro
04:51Wrestling before? He's wrestled for IPW UK when it was run by myself and we obviously followed a
04:56lot of lineage of of IPW. We recognize championship histories etc. Oh you do? So I'm a former
05:05Revolution Pro Champion am I? A British Champion. Twice.
05:13Well I like to be selective with my history so
05:16start with Charles Samuel's championship reign in 2012.
05:22So Pac hasn't actually wrestled for Revolution Pro on that theory. He was on rpwondemand.com
05:28on another theory. You can see classic matches with Pac against Brian Danielson.
05:38You may know him as Daniel Bryan.
05:45Like what if these two have actually ever met before? They haven't no never.
05:51If I'm going to know Speedball Mike Bailey's got to be heavily inspired by someone like Pac.
05:55Speedball knows exactly who Pac is and trust me when I say Pac knows who Speedball Mike Bailey is.
06:01He's done his homework. He's not intimidated one bit. In fact he's doing quite a lot of
06:09intimidation himself isn't he? And Pac is a man that many people in the cruiseweight division
06:16look up to and I think certainly when you look at Josh Bodom and the way Josh Bodom's transformed
06:20his body and the way Josh Bodom's piled on the size and being able to retain the speed and agility
06:25and athleticism. Pac's someone who's also able to successfully do that and uh and that's just
06:32another reason why so many people look up to the man the Gravity Forgot Pac.
06:39As he backs him into a roach.
06:43Takes him in a side headlock. Nicely done. Nice reversal however from Speedball. Speedball
06:49he's not going to be overcome by the situation is he? He's uh he's very calm. He likes to lock
06:55himself away before his matches to keep calm. He's one of those boring meditators isn't he?
07:03He's a meditator. I wouldn't call him boring.
07:05Oh! Wow and welcome back Pac. But look at Pac he just shook that off. Did you hear that? All day.
07:19I think Pac enjoyed that. And Speedball Mike Bailey is perhaps oh look at that!
07:26He suckered him in didn't he? This isn't the same Pac is it Andy? He suckered him in. This is not the same Pac.
07:31The one that you were hoping for. The smiley one. The happy one. This man is much of a smiler Pac.
07:37He is horribly moody. Look at that. Pac just moved out the way of that from Speedball but he can't
07:44move away from this. Speedball unloads him with a series of kicks. Follows up with an Inseguri.
07:49Pac rolls to the outside. What's going to happen now? I think I know what's going to happen now Andy.
07:55Speedball is gonna fly. And Speedball wipes Pac out.
08:02Like I said Speedball Mike Bailey is not going to be overcome by this situation is he?
08:11And Pac look he's trying to get as far away from Mike Bailey as possible.
08:15And Mike Bailey doing everything he can to throw Pac back into the ring in quick order.
08:22And Speedball now. Watch out Pac.
08:26It's nearly an early night for Pac wasn't it? And this is not the homecoming in the UK that Pac was looking for was it?
08:34Nuttin kicked away the hamstrings. I don't think he cares Andy. I don't think he cares about homecoming.
08:38I think he's back on the independency. He's back here to win matches and win titles. He doesn't care about these people.
08:44Well he wants out doesn't he? He doesn't care about homecoming.
08:47And what he knew right there was that he didn't want to allow Speedball. Look again he lulled him in.
08:56That's the second time Andy. That's the second time in this contest where Pac's been able to lull Speedball Mike Bailey in.
09:03Give him a full sense of security before grabbing him and starting to work his sadistic magic.
09:11And Pac locks himself away for a year hasn't he Andy?
09:15He's isolated himself from the rest of the world for a full year.
09:20There's a lot of frustration in there.
09:23You know he's probably sat back Andy and he's seen the independency in the United Kingdom grow.
09:27He's seen the rise of the likes of Will Ospreay, Marty Scurll, Zack Sabre Jr, Speedball Mike Bailey.
09:33And I'll tell you what Andy. I spoke to Pac a little bit. Limited conversation earlier.
09:38He used to be a good friend of mine before he went off to the feds so to speak.
09:45Andy you can just call it WWE.
09:46Well I'm not sure if I'm allowed to. Everyone gets me in trouble for saying stuff don't they?
09:51I'm speaking rumour and innuendo don't I?
09:56Next year you're going to call it New York.
09:59And I spoke to Stanford, Connecticut and I spoke to Pac. Limited conversation like I say.
10:08I said what have you been doing the last year?
10:12And what did he say? Shut up.
10:14He said I travelled a bit and they're none of your business.
10:18It isn't any of your business. This man's clearly been studying all manners of professional wrestling.
10:23He's certainly been working out like a madman hasn't he?
10:26He looks like business Andy. He never looked like that before he went off did he?
10:40Pac chose to move away from the sunshine of Florida to move back to the freezing cold bitter winds of Newcastle.
10:49Home will always be home.
10:52Look at the way, did you see the way he closed that distance so quickly?
10:57Hit with a huge European uppercut.
11:21Look at that look in his face.
11:36I mean he's asking for another one from Bailey.
11:40Oh nice snap suplex, Pac floats over.
11:44Two count only.
11:49Knee in the spine.
11:51Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac, Pac.
11:58Pac no!
12:07Catches a boot does Pac.
12:10Oh, sweep bull's jaw connected with the side of a ring there.
12:14And Pac now building up the pace.
12:16Oh he's still got it hasn't he?
12:18There you go, Pac just wiped out Speedball Mike Bailey.
12:25Transition through to his feet, no wasted motion and now can he capitalise?
12:33Of course he can capitalise Andy.
12:34And you were telling me Andy that Pac didn't care what the people thought but right there.
12:38He doesn't.
12:39Woah, there's a lateral press and he could have got that cover in earlier couldn't he?
12:42But he cared what those people thought right there Andy, I'm telling you.
12:45The difference is Andy, the difference is your motives behind doing it.
12:48Are you doing it to hot dog, you know like the likes of Will Ospreay, like the likes of Speedball Mike Bailey.
12:53Are you doing it to hot dog or are you using it as an offensive manoeuvre like Pac just did?
13:04Pac now stalking his prey, stalking Speedball from the top.
13:09Pac, big, big missile drop kick.
13:14There's a hook of the leg.
13:16There's a kick out.
13:23Chris Roberts quick to make another friend.
13:29You know Chris, when he met up with Pac he said, oh do you remember me?
13:33What Pac said, no.
13:38No one remembers, well no one likes Chris Roberts today.
13:44Bailey head first into a ring two times, make it three.
13:55Speedball is just being bounced around like a pimple isn't he?
14:02Pac is having the time of his life.
14:06What else has he got in mind here?
14:08Oh my god Andy, this is.
14:10Oh my goodness.
14:16Evil Pac is who we've got back here in Revolution Pro Wrestling.
14:20What did they do to him?
14:28He's just looking down on Speedball.
14:30He's going to take a count out win.
14:41Oh!
14:47Speedball struggling to his feet.
14:49He might as well just call it quits right now.
14:55And Pac is having the time of his life.
14:58Look at that man.
15:05And Speedball, he beats a count.
15:07Pac could have been happily happy to take the count out victory there.
15:10And Speedball fought with every ounce of energy in his body to get himself back in the ring.
15:15And Speedball feels like he's got something to prove here doesn't he?
15:17Well he's got himself back in the ring to basically serve further punishment.
15:26This boy has plenty of talent, plenty of wrestling skills but very little brains.
15:32He hangs on.
15:34Kicks the midsection, still hangs on.
15:38It's a ropes.
15:39Speedball vaults over.
15:40Oh beautiful!
15:42What innovation!
15:43What presence of mind from Speedball Mike Bailey.
15:47Wow that is a huge move from Bailey.
15:49I didn't see that one coming.
15:53And neither did Pac.
15:54Pac is rocked.
15:56And we could see a big change of the tide here Andy.
15:59Pac first man to his feet though.
16:03Bailey throwing everything he's got.
16:05Every last bit of energy at Pac.
16:12Maybe Pac was hoping for another count out win.
16:17Oh he's into that kick to the midsection.
16:19But Speedball fights back.
16:21And he's got it.
16:23Oh he's into that kick to the midsection.
16:26But Speedball fights back.
16:28And he floored Pac with that one.
16:31He's got abs of steel but it didn't matter.
16:33Because Speedball with those educated feet just took him apart.
16:40Oh and again straight to that midsection.
16:43Bailey flies with such grace and precision.
16:48And oh so close.
16:50But Pac kicks out.
16:52That was the closest opportunity for Bailey.
16:54If he could follow this up Andy this could be huge.
16:57This could be the upset of the night.
17:03Oh and Pac ducks out.
17:05And wisely gets out of dodge.
17:07Again.
17:08Again Pac gets out of dodge.
17:12And watch out for Bailey.
17:13Pac is going to be sneaking.
17:15Or is Pac lulling him in again.
17:17Oh no.
17:20He turned into that one didn't he.
17:22Tacking a man from behind.
17:38My goodness.
17:45Oh what a way to self congratulate yourself.
17:47You haven't won yet young man.
17:51Pac again he's backing off isn't he.
17:54Speedball measuring him.
17:57Oh Pac ducks out.
17:59And again.
18:03Oh.
18:05And I think Speedball said to Pac let's play a game before he started that exercise.
18:14You could well be right there Andy.
18:16And this is no game.
18:21From the middle now.
18:22Pac needs to watch out.
18:23And again gets himself out of dodge.
18:25Speedball bolts over.
18:26Pac done a very good job of evading a lot of Speedball's offense.
18:29And oh.
18:31Snap German suplex.
18:33My god Andy he had him right on his face.
18:35There was strength from Pac.
18:37Blue thunder driver.
18:41Oh and Speedball kicked out.
18:42And Speedball Mike Bailey still in this contest.
18:45I think Pac thought he had this contest won.
18:50One more thing Pac.
18:51Follow it up.
18:52Something big and you're going to take home a win.
18:54Big win here in Revolution Pro Wrestling.
19:00Now Andy you've got to tell me.
19:01Is Pac in contention for the cruiserweight division or is he in the heavyweight division?
19:05Because he's certainly fit.
19:06He's in the heavyweight.
19:07He's certainly fit into both.
19:08Yeah.
19:09I mean to me.
19:11You know I'd love to see this guy against Tomohiro Ishii.
19:13Our undisputed British heavyweight champion.
19:16I'd love to see him against some of our other heavyweights.
19:18Like Zack Sabre Jr.
19:19Walter.
19:20Oh but Speedball Mike Bailey kicks away Pac.
19:25Josh Bolden.
19:27Kojima.
19:28I'd like Kojima.
19:29That'd be a great match.
19:30My new favourite wrestler.
19:31But also I'd like to see Pac knock out Kojima.
19:38The Great Okan.
19:41We'll feed Pac to the Great Okan shall we?
19:44Oh you're that confident are you?
19:45Well I don't doubt Pac is one hell of a professional wrestler.
19:48I've been rooting for him the whole match.
19:49But nobody can beat the Great Okan.
19:53Pac follows Speedball Mike Bailey.
19:57Takes him to the top rope.
19:59And he's looking to lift him up here.
20:01Elevate him further.
20:04Speedball putting on the brakes.
20:06Series of fists.
20:08Pac from the top.
20:11Huge superplex connects.
20:16Pac landing right on the back of his own head as well.
20:19But Bailey looks out of it.
20:20Bailey could be unconscious Andy.
20:24Oh and he kicks out.
20:26Pac unable to hook the leg was he?
20:29Both men absolutely desperate not to lose this match.
20:34They are laying everything out on the line.
20:37Pac wants to make a good impression here.
20:39In Revolution Pro Wrestling.
20:41Speedball Mike Bailey wants to solidify his spot and become a regular.
20:45And beating Pac I'm sure would do just that for him.
20:56Oh look at the way he just kicked away at the side of Speedball's head.
21:05Low to the side of the skull.
21:08Orbital area of Speedball Mike Bailey.
21:11Pac he's got back to that slow methodical wearing down of Speedball.
21:15He's stalking him isn't he?
21:17He's after a worry.
21:19Oh no.
21:20Speedball fights back.
21:23Pac starting to get more confident isn't he?
21:32Face to face with him.
21:34And they're picking up the intensity here aren't they?
21:40Go, go, go...
21:45Ha, Ha..
21:46Great move from back there.
21:48Letting Speedball Mike Bailey essentially punch himself out, wear himself out.
21:52He saw the opening he took it great.
21:55Brilliant spin kick.
21:58And another.
22:01It's a roped....
22:02OH!
22:03Speedball got him.
22:05Pac he's kicking away oh and he kicks out barely.
22:07And Speedball noticeably kept control of that arm.
22:09control of that, oh man, oh but Pac fights out. Oh no this could be it, he's got him locked up.
22:16Bailey has nowhere to go but scream in pain and call it quits. Pac has been perfecting this
22:25submission move for years on end now and I think Bailey's gonna call it quits Andy. Oh but hang on
22:31look at the position, Pac was nearly down just a one count. Speedball, he's trying to bridge
22:39to get the shoulders down, he's trying to reach for the ropes, he's trying to do whatever he can
22:43to try and break this hold and there we go he gets to the bottom rope and he must have put so
22:48much extra pain on himself to reach those bottom ropes just there but there's a fighting spirit of
22:55a champion right there. Now Pac he might be starting to worry, he might be starting to
23:10wonder what it's going to take to put Speedball Mike Bailey away. It's taken a lot so far he's
23:17still not being able to get the job done. He's going for a big neck breaker. He's got the cravat
23:28applied and where he's got that cravat applied Speedball's not able to get his hands up to
23:32protect himself and Pac taking full advantage with a series of big knees and now pulls him in.
23:38Oh he went wrong, Pac rolls through. Oh close, Speedball breaks away the hands. Oh my goodness.
23:49Though he went low on that one. The lower midsection, the hamstrings perhaps. You would
24:02be crying foul wouldn't you but Speedball Mike Bailey, what's he looking for now?
24:08Oh beautifully done to the side of the skull. Oh he's packed onto the middle and he's looking for
24:14it. The Flamengo driver Andy. Is he gonna hit it? Yes he does. That could be it Andy. Oh and Pac kicks out.
24:23Speedball Mike Bailey Andy, he can sense victory. He takes it to the outside.
24:38And he takes it to the top. Speedball Mike Bailey from the top. He was looking to connect but no
24:47walks are in the pool and the knees go crashing down to the canvas. Pac, sit out powerbomb.
24:56Oh and Speedball kicked out again. Speedball kicked out again but look at where he's kicked
25:02himself to. He's gonna wish he hadn't and if he's going for what we think he's going for
25:08from the top. Pac.
25:16Red arrow connects. Hook of a leg and he got him. A victorious return to the UK.
25:38Speedball Mike Bailey gave it his absolute all. All credit to Mike Bailey but at the end of the night
25:49Pac is back. A successful return to the UK for the man that gravity forgotten Andy.
25:57I don't think this is one and done. I don't think this is the last we're gonna see of Pac.
26:04Well I certainly hope not Andy. What a showing from Pac. He's taken down Speedball Mike Bailey
26:09who's gonna have to go back home to Canada and lick those wounds. And it's only his second singles
26:15match since returning from a year sabbatical. Ring rust? Nah, not a problem for that man. Pac,
26:22victorious in his return to the UK. What a match and what a way to end the season.
26:31What a match and what a way to end live at the Portsmouth Guild Hall and we'll see you again
26:38in a couple of weeks live at the London Cockpit. Thank you for joining us and good night.
