00:19Greetings Grapple fans, welcome to UKPW, Grapple at the Green.
00:32I'm Rob Ringside and I've brought my best side today, Grapple fans.
00:36My comms partner is none other than the legendary buffalicious one, Buff Broadside.
00:42Mr. Broadside, welcome.
00:44Yes, my Broadside is right here, back at Parkwood with UKPW.
00:49And I am right here by your side, where we're going to sit with the four sides and the two sides of Crown.
00:55And the more sides that you can fit into this building, the better.
00:58Absolutely right, Buff Broadside.
01:00We've got an incredible show for you today, Grapple fans.
01:02We're going to take you right to the action, right now.
01:19Greetings Grapple fans, Rob Ringside alongside Buff Broadside and we caught the sigh just at the beginning of the recording, Mr. Broadside.
01:41I gather you're not a fan of this particular individual.
01:44I'm just, there's something about it that just cries my tears.
01:50Every time, right, he is impressive in that ring.
01:54I'm not going to deny that, he is unbeatable.
01:56But the way that he doesn't just...
01:59Just...
02:00Just...
02:01Yep, it's the intangible, indescribable feeling that the lore Lewis Basham evokes as he makes his way to ringside.
02:12That's us.
02:13That's us.
02:14We are ringside.
02:15We're right, we're so close to the action, Grapple fans.
02:18It's a wonder we're not going to get kicked in the face.
02:20And actually, I put money on it.
02:22I fear.
02:23I fear for my life.
02:25But I will remain impartial because that is what I am.
02:28I am a professional.
02:29Yeah, well, it's the P, isn't it?
02:32At the end of the day.
02:33It is.
02:36We'll wait to see Lewis Basham to the pilot.
02:39Shall we bring out his opponent?
02:40Yeah!
02:41Shall we bring out his opponent?
02:43Yeah!
02:44Give it up!
02:47Oh, hello, guys, people!
02:52Here's your name.
02:54Where is it?
02:55From the room and we...
02:57We have brought his own.
03:00He is the breadwinner!
03:03Ricardo!
03:06Wow!
03:08Now, I know that UKPW don't know this man very well.
03:12He debuted in a battle royale.
03:14He did, indeed.
03:15I know this man really well.
03:18This is the breadwinner.
03:19And he wins that bread for his little ducklings.
03:23This is a guy entertainment personified.
03:26Absolutely, Bathboardside.
03:28He says it himself.
03:29He wins the bread so his duckies get fed.
03:31Exactly.
03:32This is Ricardo Borg who caught up with Dale Jones when we finally got him to put a shift in earlier today.
03:38That's Dale Jones, not Ricardo Borg.
03:39Greetings, Grappable fans.
03:41I'm Dale Jones, and I am joined by a brand new UKPW wrestler.
03:45Let's just ask.
03:46Hey, hi, how are you, and who are you?
03:49Hello there.
03:50I am Ricardo Borg, the breadwinner.
03:53I wrestle for bread so that my duckies get fed.
03:56And today, I'm going up against the big sheriff around UKPW.
04:01He's known as The Law.
04:03He's undefeated.
04:05He is Louis Basham.
04:07Louis Basham, let me tell you something.
04:11I come from the pond where only the tough survive.
04:17And the weak drown.
04:18I'm going to ask you this.
04:21Do you think I'm going to let my duckies go hungry?
04:27You must be a real oaf if you think you can take my life.
04:41I've got nothing to say to that.
04:42Back to you at ringside.
04:48And we're underway.
04:52Ricardo Borg and Louis Basham squaring off.
05:00Safe to say, Ricardo Borg is absolutely quackers.
05:03And this audience are joining us.
05:05I see what you did there, Buff Broadside.
05:07This is why we have you.
05:09Oh, well, stating the obvious, just call me Mr. Obvious.
05:13It's all right.
05:15Louis Basham really is.
05:16I don't square off.
05:17It really, really has many people like Ricardo Borg in the UKPW.
05:22Yes, indeed.
05:22And the unknown quantity element of that might serve in Ricardo Borg's favour.
05:29The Wat Basham might have in the power department.
05:33I think Ricardo Borg makes up an insecticity.
05:35Yes, indeed.
05:37It's easy for you to say.
05:38Yeah.
05:43Colour and elbow tyre.
05:45Look at the power of Louis Basham, just like a rubber duck, just tossed into, carelessly into a bath.
05:55We'll see the bubbles later on, but that's with Prince Dean.
06:00That's a different story.
06:01Yes, indeed.
06:03Nice arm drive for Ricardo Borg.
06:05There we go, see.
06:06Look at that, just...
06:09There we go, that is the quack power of Ricardo Borg.
06:13And Louis Basham is actually floored emotionally, I would say, by this.
06:20Looks a little out of sorts.
06:23No quack.
06:24No quack.
06:25Louis Basham calling for no quack.
06:27Plenty of quack.
06:28These cheese and quackers, mate.
06:29Now, obviously, that is a dimension in which Louis Basham enjoys a considerable advantage over most of the UKPW roster.
06:44He's got the height, he's got the muscles, he's got the really confused look on his face right now.
06:50I think that's fair to say.
06:54As they lock up for a test of strength.
06:57On the hand.
07:00Basham just...
07:03Ricardo Borg slowly down towards the map.
07:05See how much more effort Ricardo's having to put into this.
07:07Absolutely.
07:08Just to remain...
07:11Oh, there we go.
07:12Look at that.
07:12I mean, all credit to Ricardo Borg fighting out of it very, very spiritedly.
07:18Look him over that leg.
07:20Look at the power of Basham just making it look easy.
07:28And there we go.
07:30See, this audience has fallen in love with Ricardo Borg's quack-tastic attitude already.
07:36Yes, indeed.
07:37And he's up.
07:39Oh.
07:40See, and then...
07:41Oh.
07:42Headlock takeover.
07:43Everything wrestling.
07:46It's underhanded.
07:47It's unnecessary.
07:48It's within the rules.
07:49It's not necessary to carry on with the Greco-Roman knuckle lock.
07:54He's chosen to take it out.
07:58Well, arguably, that could be why Lewis Basham has enjoyed such an undefeated streak at UKPW.
08:05Going multiple matches now.
08:07Not to say he hasn't faced the challenges.
08:09Whoa.
08:09Big shoulder block.
08:10Big shoulder block.
08:11Big shoulder block.
08:12That's off the ropes.
08:13Another one coming.
08:14There we go.
08:15Look at that.
08:16The ropes just...
08:17Wow.
08:18Yeah.
08:19Beautiful hip toss.
08:20Ricardo Borg showing some speed.
08:21A double foot drop kick.
08:22British drop kick.
08:23Is that the British one?
08:24It is.
08:25Oh, all right.
08:26I'm learning.
08:27That's the other reason we have you here.
08:28Oh.
08:29Oh.
08:30Oh.
08:31Oh.
08:32Oh.
08:33Oh.
08:34Ricardo going to fly.
08:35Scaling up to the second.
08:36All the way.
08:37To the top.
08:41Is Basham saying ducks can't fly?
08:42I think they can.
08:43I mean that duck flew but that's going to be a bad landing.
08:46Indeed.
08:47As a huge all the way slam from Lewis Basham sends Ricardo Borg across that 20-foot ring.
08:55Long way to travel.
08:56And as I said at the beginning of this fight, Lewis Basham has definitely got the upper hand
09:02when it comes to muscular advances.
09:05Fair to say upper hand for the upper body.
09:07Fair to say?
09:08Yeah.
09:09I didn't know ducks had p-bones before.
09:11Wow.
09:13That must be south because Ricardo Borg flew.
09:18Is that a Dutch migration across the ring?
09:21I think so.
09:22Must be the time of year.
09:25Free Tristan Stone looking to encourage Ricardo Borg back into the ring.
09:28Oh.
09:29I've been on the outside now.
09:30Oh it looks like we're going around.
09:31Taking him on a tour.
09:32And there we go.
09:33The audience getting involved.
09:34They don't know what it's here.
09:35Oh wow.
09:36Look at that.
09:37Lewis Basham was driven into the ring post by Ricardo Borg and that's going to be.
09:43Solid connection.
09:44Absolutely.
09:45That's going to be a good opportunity for Ricardo Borg to capitalise, build some momentum of his own after enjoying very little of the offence up front.
09:50Down in the middle.
09:51Down in the middle.
09:52Goes for an elbow drop but Lewis Basham not there.
09:53Not quite.
09:54Not quite.
09:55Oh.
09:56Good snap suplex.
09:57Ricardo Borg starting to take some proper punishment now.
09:58Absolutely.
09:59As the action is already so intense.
10:00That's going to be a good opportunity for Ricardo Borg to capitalise, build some momentum of his own after enjoying very little of the offence up front.
10:06Staping down in his middle.
10:07Yeah.
10:08Down in the middle.
10:09Down in the middle.
10:10Down in the middle.
10:11He goes for an elbow drop but Lewis Basham not there.
10:13Not quite.
10:14Not quite.
10:15Not quite.
10:16Oh.
10:17Good snap suplex.
10:18Ricardo Borg starting to take some proper punishment now.
10:22Absolutely.
10:23As the action is already so intense it's taken down all the banners.
10:29Safe to say that Lewis Bashan's technique when it comes to some of these suplexes and throws, he's second to none here at UKCW.
10:41No argument there. And as you say, it may be frustrating when the rules are kind of stretched, because clearly the wrestling ability is there.
10:50Oh, and the power to say nothing of that. Huge clothesline takes Ricardo Borg to the mat and all that momentum he was building is just undone.
10:59And there we go, slowing the match down, taking him back to the pace that he wants to work at.
11:05Absolutely. Lewis Bashan's very good at controlling the action in the ring, setting the pace, setting the time, which is good, because against an opponent like Ricardo Borg.
11:16This is the technique now. See how we've got all the weight over him, laying down on the head, proper squeeze on him.
11:23Audience are going to have to start getting behind Ricardo Borg, otherwise he lights out pretty quick.
11:27Yes, indeed. Lewis Bashan can pick up another victory to add to the already impressive array he has beaten on this undisputed run.
11:36This undefeated run, I should say. Although it's been undisputed, he won.
11:41Big forearm and another one. Look at that. Another ball looking to try and find his way back into this contest.
11:49Oh, wow. Running headbutt takes Bashan off his feet. Like a back headbutt.
11:54UK, BW, no. UK, BW, let's go. UK, BW, no. UK, BW, let's go.
12:04I've done something like that before, but actually took a lot out of Ricardo Borg as well.
12:09I mean, it was always said by a very wise man. Nobody wins with a handbutt.
12:14Was it you? It might have been. Oh! Huge running power slam.
12:20Do what? Yeah! Right! Oh! That was personal.
12:27And the cover. Oh! And two!
12:29Yeah! There's only one man who can do that for a free count.
12:32But that was personal. You saw that. I did see that. You saw that.
12:35Very well executed. Very well executed. And he did give you a little bit of a look.
12:40This is interesting. We don't see this very often from Lewis Basham. He's starting to scale the turnbuckle.
12:56I mean... This is terrifying. If I was Ricardo Borg, I probably wouldn't be enjoying the prospect of this coming at you right now.
13:02That 16 stone about to fly. Oh! Not in the way he was hoping.
13:06That was a long way down. Ricardo Borg brings Lewis Basham down along with one of a turnbuckle.
13:11That's it. Borg starting to gather some of that energy. There we go.
13:14Oh! Forearms in the corner. Right in front of our commentation station. Oh! I would have heard that one from over the other side.
13:22Just leading him around the ring. This one... Oh! This one's going to sting more.
13:27Remember when I said to you that end-centricity. That is it. That is what Borg has got. He can turn himself up to 11 and just go to a place that nobody else can.
13:35Absolutely. Looking good value here and there for those duckies getting feds. Oh! Look at that!
13:43Just extra momentum. Just driving him to the turnbuckle. He's looking to get this crowd behind him.
13:50Lewis Basham looking a tad out of sorts right now. A touch.
13:54Where's he going? Not sure. Oh. He's grabbing something. That's... Oh! That looks like his gavel.
14:00That is his tiny hammer. It's a gavel. It's a tiny hammer. There are different sorts of things.
14:05It's a tiny hammer. And I've held that. It's quite big. Stop it.
14:10It's a tiny hammer. It's a tiny hammer. It's a tiny hammer. And it's a tiny hammer.
14:14Oh.
14:18It looks like it came past our commentation station. And...
14:22I'll tell you again. I will tell you again. What did I say? What did I say?
14:25What did I say? What did I say?
14:28Here is your winner, the law, Lewis Lashford.
14:34What was lawful about that, Mr. Ringside?
14:37What was lawful about that?
14:38Well, Grapple fans, Grapple Routside said it himself.
14:42The finish to that one, questionable.
14:46Questionable?
14:47Yes.
14:47Questionable?
14:48Yes.
14:48It can be questioned.
14:50Downright cheating?
14:51I know the words I'm using, the verbiage.
14:55That's Lewis Basham's gavel.
14:58That's the foot coming from outside the ring.
15:00Which he threw.
15:01It went past us.
15:03I did hear a clonk.
15:04I thought that might be my Dutch shoes.
15:08But nevertheless, Grapple fans, what matters is the fall.
15:12And on this occasion, questionable or otherwise, it has gone to the law,
15:16Lewis Basham, who picks up the victory and extends his unbeaten run here at UKPW.
15:21I'll catch you next time.
15:23I'll catch you next time.
15:24I saw what you did.
15:26I saw the other.
15:28Look at you.
15:29I'll catch you next time.
15:30Grapple power will come back.
15:32Grapple power will come back.
15:34I said no cheating.
15:36Grapple.
15:37Grapple.
15:37Grapple.
15:38Grapple.
15:39Grapple.
15:39Grapple.
15:41Grapple.
15:41Grapple.
15:41Grapple.
15:42Grapple.
15:42Grapple.
15:43Grapple.
15:43That's personal.
15:44You see that?
15:46Personal.
15:47Personal attack.
15:48You saw that.
15:49It did my power slam in point now.
15:51Personal attack.
15:52Personal attack.
15:53While Buff also remonstrates with UKPW management, let's go to Dow Jones who's with Nathan Blade.
16:00Well, I don't know about you guys, but I thought that match was absolutely quackers.
16:05Greetings, Grapple fans.
16:07I'm Dow Jones, and I am joined by two members of Project SE.
16:12Gents, don't attack me, but what's the game plan today?
16:15First of all, first of all, you better know our name.
16:18This is Richie Rich.
16:20My name is Nathan Blade.
16:23Now, first of all, first of all, I'm here in this dump of a town called Parkwood.
16:27I have to walk flameless just to find a corner shop.
16:31But that's not my issue.
16:33The issue is, we came here to UKPW to make a statement.
16:37So, if you actually do your research and checked out previous shows, you'll see we were after Wolf of Broad Street.
16:46The top wolf, so to speak.
16:49Like, that's fine.
16:51We came up a little bit short.
16:53But it's okay, my boy Tyler Walker, he's at home.
16:56He's having a rest day.
16:57He's got his pads.
16:58He's got his pen.
16:58He's taking notes on how I get a victory today.
17:01But anyways, oh, CPF, we haven't forgot about you for interrupting us neither at the end.
17:06Right?
17:06But bigger fish to fry at the moment.
17:09So, I hear Danny running his mouth, say he wants to put us in our place.
17:14Show us that we don't run around here.
17:15We don't run things.
17:16That's funny, because you like to say Danny doesn't die, but Danny will die tonight in Parkwood.
17:23So, I advise people who don't run their three-year-olds here today, because it's going to be a horrible sight.
17:29So, anyways, while I go deal with this nuisance of a mess, make sure you remember who Project SE is.
17:36My name's Nathan Blades.
17:37This is Richie Rich.
17:39And this is, I don't know.
17:41I don't know and I don't care.
17:43We're gone.
17:44We're done.
17:44There you have it, Grapple Fans, Project SE.
17:48Back to you at ringside.
17:49This is Nathan Blades' first singles competition in UKPW.
17:56He has previously been involved in Battle Royals, and he was the man who threw the first blow against the Wolf of Brawl Street, Alexander Roth, in that exchange, in Falconwood, that almost saw the Prince of Peckham, Tyler Walker, walk away with the UKPW Championship.
18:14Didn't go their way on the day, but they made an impression, it's fair to say.
18:20An impression, I think.
18:22Yes.
18:22Let's see if he makes the same sort of impression today.
18:26Now I'm going to put him on the spot to do impressions.
18:30Oh, but I know this guy.
18:40From Twins of England, winning an 11 stone in the round, he is the immortal, Devious Redding!
18:5211 stone, 11 pounds, I get that for breakfast.
18:56Yes, indeed, Buff Broadside, well, your dietary habits notwithstanding, Devious Danny is no stranger to a UKPW ring.
19:04He debuted in 2022.
19:08Having said that, despite a number of impressive showings, he has one victory to his name in UKPW in singles competition.
19:14What is it, well, I think, I think that the Devious one might, might just pick up another one tonight.
19:21I've just got the feeling.
19:23Mr. Nathan Blades.
19:26It's a helmet, it's supposed to be Danny.
19:30That's right, yeah.
19:32He's fond of it.
19:33Ding, ding.
19:33And we're away.
19:34And we're away, here we go.
19:35The immortal, Devious Danny here.
19:38He is, he's going to have the crowd behind him with his speed and zippiness.
19:43Yep, those, all those things and more.
19:47He is like a Libby energy drink.
19:50Indeed, but Nathan Blades talks a big game on behalf of Project SE.
19:54He is their mouthpiece.
19:56He has stated his intent that they're going to make an impression to him.
19:59He has got a big mouth on him, I'll give him that.
20:04Say Colin Elbow and off we go.
20:07Look at that power of Nathan Blades just without really blinking.
20:11It's safe to say that Nathan Blades has definitely got the size advantage in this one.
20:15I think that's fair to say.
20:17There's a high chance that he had the same size breakfast as me.
20:21Could be.
20:22Full of protein.
20:24A Devious Danny size.
20:26As we established earlier.
20:28Respecting the cannon.
20:28Exactly.
20:31But here we are.
20:35Fretting in the audience here in Parkwood.
20:37Making friends and influencing people here in Parkwood.
20:39That's it.
20:40Fretting to beat up children in the audience.
20:42I mean.
20:45I mean, I believe he could.
20:47With power like that.
20:49I totally believe he could.
20:50I mean, the most threatening.
20:50I can't say he should.
20:51The most threatening thing that he could do was sit on him.
20:53I mean, nobody would like that.
20:55Goodness.
20:59Get him.
21:00Get him.
21:00Get him.
21:01Get him.
21:02Get him.
21:02Blades looking to be a little bit red cent to get involved.
21:05Enjoying that size advantage.
21:06Look at that speed.
21:08That's the difference.
21:09See, Dave and Blades showing that inexperience.
21:14They're just constantly belittling the crowd, brother.
21:17Concentrating on the wrestling match.
21:18Excellent.
21:19Meanwhile, Dave and Danny is enjoying himself.
21:22Just rolling through.
21:23Showing off his roles.
21:29Rich having to hold Nathan Blade back seemingly from just going to town on this crowd here in Parkwood.
21:34Trying to get him to concentrate on what is the money earning.
21:37And that is in the ring.
21:38I'm winning this wrestling match.
21:39Look at that.
21:40Ducks through a clothesline.
21:41Oh.
21:42There we go.
21:43Stiff kick to the back of the leg.
21:44Oh, goes for a drop kick.
21:49Oh!
21:50Big splash of Nathan Blade.
21:51That could do it.
21:54Close to a two count.
21:56First cover of the contest.
21:58My word.
22:00Measures up a forearm.
22:02Flashed.
22:03And delivers.
22:07Hey, it's all going to well be in smaller and running away, but eventually you get caught.
22:10Well, this is it.
22:12And if you do, then you've got to deal with what this is what's happening.
22:16The whole ring just reeling from that one.
22:20Crowd not enjoying it.
22:21Oh, I think.
22:22Probably slightly, I would say slightly more of the deepest down.
22:25I think the crowd, I think the crowd, you know, they're slowly warming to Nathan.
22:29I think it's really, yeah.
22:30Yeah.
22:30At least really winning them over.
22:32Of course, yeah.
22:33You know, there was a boo, yay.
22:35Wait a minute, wait a minute.
22:36Meanwhile, Nathan Blade, discussing proceedings with Tristan Stone.
22:41Meanwhile, Richie Rich takes advantage.
22:44Well, if I hadn't already made up my mind about him, I'd definitely have now.
22:47They don't like him.
22:49No, I thought that might go down poorly with him.
22:52That's it.
22:52That's it.
22:53Doesn't matter what they do now.
22:56He could hit the perfect forfeit splash.
22:58I just can't.
23:00Put Project Essie off the Christmas.
23:01Yeah, that's it.
23:02They're not getting Christmas cards from me this year.
23:05That's it.
23:06You can't cheat while I'm at Coventry.
23:09And cave in a man's chest like that.
23:11And experiment.
23:13So, you're really good.
23:14Wow.
23:16My God.
23:18You know what?
23:20Fair enough.
23:20If it's about cave in a man's chest, fair enough.
23:22The Christmas card list is pretty robust.
23:24Meanwhile.
23:25God.
23:26Meanwhile, in the ring.
23:27There is another one.
23:28I'm telling you.
23:30Nathan Blade was feeling his shoulder blade then straight through the ribs.
23:35Bang.
23:40Nathan Blade.
23:42Yeah.
23:43Nathan Blade just calling over to watch.
23:45Do it again.
23:46Who said that?
23:47Wasn't me.
23:48I didn't catch what he...
23:49I don't know who said that, but there was a call to do it again.
23:52Drop it again.
23:53The wrestlers you see on UKPW are trained professionals and should not be copied.
24:12The show you're watching has been organized with great preparation and should not be attempted
24:27by anyone.
24:28Oh my goodness!
24:32Wrestling may look fun, but the hazards are real.
24:36No matter who you are, whatever you do, please do not try this at home, school, or anywhere.
24:50Oh!
24:50That'll do!
24:51Unable to whip him out of the corner.
24:53He just stood a beautiful step over in Seguri.
24:56Oh, just drives his shoulder.
24:58Look at that from Danny.
25:00Hugely impressed with athleticism.
25:02Just flips back up to a vertical base and it hits the big knee.
25:05I think they'll be added in post-production, Buff.
25:10Oh, meanwhile, he's about to come from the second rope, but Richie Rich is getting involved.
25:15Get out of it!
25:16Oh!
25:16Oh, dear.
25:17He goes for the crossbody, but is caught by Nathan Blade.
25:21Oh!
25:22Oh, dear.
25:23Just jumps into the canvas to count.
25:27A risky gambit from Danny, it's fair to say, given the power of Nathan Blade.
25:32Well, this is it.
25:33I mean, Devious Danny's not going to lose this because of Nathan Blade.
25:35Devious Danny is going to lose this because of Richie Rich.
25:38He has already injected himself in this match more than once.
25:42Yes, indeed.
25:44I agree, Tristan Stone doing their best to keep this level.
25:48But the numbers game may prove to be the difference maker.
25:52Tristan Stone has got one pair of eyes, one pair of hands, and one pair of legs.
25:56He cannot be everywhere.
25:57Absolutely right.
25:59These are all facts.
26:01It's true!
26:02Yeah.
26:02No, it's true, yeah.
26:03This is why we bring you along.
26:04Just look at him.
26:05There's two eyes, two ears, one nose.
26:06Yep.
26:08No, it's true.
26:08I'm not disagreeing with you.
26:10I'm here for the facts.
26:14Meanwhile.
26:14Oh, dear.
26:16Dig him a hole.
26:17Just leveled with the chop.
26:20See why Project SE use him.
26:23Freightening the cameraman now.
26:24Absolutely.
26:24Getting involved with the production crew.
26:26I feel like we're next.
26:28We're post-production.
26:29We're all right.
26:29I've got stuff to throw at him.
26:31It's okay.
26:31Okay, cool.
26:32Yeah, actually, some of this might be...
26:34Anyway.
26:35Danny's fighting his way back into this one.
26:38Oh, Dan.
26:39Yes!
26:39Just alternating chops and forearms and knees.
26:44He's using every bit of the animal.
26:46Oh, Nathan Blade blocks.
26:48Oh!
26:48Big headbutt.
26:49That's a big headbutt.
26:50Danny just about on his feet, but not by luck.
26:53Oh!
26:53Oh!
26:54I don't fall back!
26:55Using that momentum, just build in with one of his own.
27:00Danny just measuring up.
27:02Whips on the ropes.
27:03Oh!
27:04Wow!
27:05Big clothesline.
27:07Turning Danny inside.
27:08It has to be a big one to end up with your face down.
27:13Two count.
27:16Upside down and bouncing off the ceiling.
27:18Devious Danny just got turned inside out.
27:21Absolutely.
27:21Meanwhile, Richie Rich trying to reminisce with Tristan Stone about the definition of the number
27:26three.
27:27We're going to defer to the referee on this one.
27:29Look at the sun!
27:31It is!
27:31I feel sorry for Tristan Stone right now.
27:36Yeah, I understand it.
27:37It's not his fault.
27:38No, indeed, but meanwhile, the person on the receiving end of the down side is Mr. Delious Danny, who is now, once again, on the wrong side of the two-on-one.
27:48That is three times Richie Richie has now got involved.
27:51Yeah, the referee could count that height, if only they were allowed to see it, but they're
27:54being deliberately obscured.
27:57Oh!
27:59Whipton, turnbuckle, and just coming cannon out of it.
28:03You can tell how much venom was in that one from Nathan Blade.
28:06Looking to make an impression, and understandably so.
28:08Oh!
28:09He's driving every kilo of that 1.30.
28:10We saw him come out earlier with the football helmet on.
28:11Yeah!
28:12Yeah, absolutely.
28:13That was a strong shoulder drive into the corner.
28:14Here comes another one.
28:15Oh, Danny ducks out.
28:16Looking to find his way back into this one.
28:17Big British dropkick.
28:18What up?
28:19Yeah.
28:20We're learning.
28:21We're practicing.
28:22Comes out of that tenbuckle.
28:23Hits another.
28:24Here's another one.
28:25And there's some play.
28:26Oh!
28:27Oh!
28:28Oh!
28:29Oh!
28:30Oh!
28:31Oh!
28:32Oh!
28:33Oh!
28:34Oh!
28:35Oh!
28:36Oh!
28:37Oh!
28:38In the corner.
28:39Felt that.
28:40Felt that impact on the top turnbuckle.
28:41As he says on daddy's butt cheek.
28:43Daddy doesn't die.
28:45He does drop kick.
28:47That's three times now.
28:48He does drop kick.
28:49He does drop kick.
28:50He should have that on his shorts as well.
28:52Well, daddy does drop kick.
28:53Yeah.
28:54Whoa!
28:55Look at that!
28:56Power from Nathan Blade.
28:57Nuranagi.
28:58Catches him with Nuranagi.
28:59Oh!
29:00But that took a lot out of him to do so.
29:04Down and out.
29:05Down and out.
29:08And now it's up to referee Tristan Spohn to count to ten.
29:12This is the upper limit of a referee's counting abilities.
29:15I mean, this match has been going for some time.
29:17Both of these guys, you know, they don't make the ten count a draw.
29:20Oh, that's a fair result.
29:22Yeah.
29:23Oh, that's a fair result.
29:24No, he's already up.
29:25On balance.
29:27Oh, now they're trading shots as they make their way up to a vertical base, as they say.
29:32I don't know who they are, but we're doing it now, so why not?
29:35Oh, double hand shot from Danny.
29:38Big forearm from Nathan's blazing.
29:40Danny reeling.
29:41Oh, one of his own.
29:43Oh, he's got several.
29:45In a row, look at that.
29:47Almost looked like he was going to whip off the ropes, but it turns in.
29:51Both men exchanging blows, back elbow.
29:57Oh!
29:59Caught the knee of Debian.
30:01Devious Danny instead.
30:03Devious Danny has the slight upper hand here as he looks to hit the cover.
30:08Puts on the ropes, but...
30:12Four times!
30:13That's...
30:14Tristan Stone caught him that time.
30:17He could.
30:18Yes!
30:19Yes!
30:20That's what happens!
30:21Referee Tristan Stone ordering Richie Rich to leave the ringside area.
30:26Ow!
30:27Ow!
30:28Ow!
30:29Ow!
30:30Be gone, Richie Rich!
30:31Shoo!
30:32Na-na-na-na!
30:33Na-na-na-na!
30:34Goodbye!
30:35There you go!
30:37You called it!
30:41It's like you knew what was going to happen.
30:44You have to get some results off of you later.
30:47It's right with...
30:48Au revoir, farewell, Alvinas, adieu, adieu, adieu, to Richie Richie.
30:54Go!
30:55Go!
30:56Go!
30:57Go!
30:58Go!
30:59Go!
31:00Go!
31:01Go!
31:02Go!
31:03Go!
31:04Go!
31:05Go!
31:06Go!
31:07Go!
31:08Go!
31:09Go!
31:10Go!
31:11Go!
31:12...and now this is interesting.
31:13Scaling the ropes!
31:14Ho!
31:15Second rope!
31:17It's time!
31:18It's time!
31:19Oh!
31:20Look for a splash but nobody there.
31:23Devious Danny too quick, and out of that turnbuckle!
31:27Oh!
31:28Huge knee, right into the face in Nathan Blade.
31:31Hello there.
31:32I'm the knee.
31:33Look at that, that's how I imagine the attraction right now, pretty quick.
31:38Danny gonna fly.
31:39Danny gonna fly.
31:40Now we expect this a bit more from Devious Danny don't we, we see this a bit more from
31:45him.
31:46Yes.
31:47This is not good news for Nathan Blade if he hits this one.
31:50Devious Airways flying first class.
31:53Look at that one, off he goes.
31:55Whoa!
31:56Frogs flash.
31:57And a three, the match is over, Devious Danny picks up the victory.
32:03Here is your winner, the immortal, Devious Danny!
32:19Well there you have it Grapple fans, Devious Danny picks up the pinfall victory and Buff
32:25Broadside, what a frog splash to finish that one off.
32:29You can still see the mark on the ceiling where he's skinning against it.
32:33That was some massive height from Devious Airways first class.
32:38Absolutely, Danny doesn't die, Danny does fly.
32:42Devious Danny picks up the pinfall victory over Nathan Blade.
32:46All credit to Nathan Blade, put in a spirited performance and made a good showing for his
32:51ability, but what matters is the fall.
32:54Devious Danny has it.
32:57Well Grapple fans, let's throw back to Dow Jones who is backstage with Fabio Romano.
33:02Dow, nice to see you doing some work mate.
33:06Greetings Grapple fans, I'm Dow Jones and I am joined by a man who hasn't been on the scene
33:11for over a year, Fabio Romano.
33:13Fabio, talk to me, what's the plan today?
33:15Hello Grapple fans, it's been a while, isn't it?
33:19But guess who's back?
33:21The Golden Flame, Fabio Romano.
33:23And yes, as the man said, it's been a while since I've been here.
33:27My last match here was against Alexander Roth for the UKPW Championship.
33:34And let's just say that that match didn't go as planned.
33:38But after that, I managed to put myself back up.
33:43And I'm back more angry, more strong, more passionate than ever before.
33:50And who did the UKPW management choose as my returning opponent?
33:54I'll tell you, boo, the tramp of UKPW, the nail.
34:00And don't get me wrong, the nail is quite a veteran.
34:04He's been around since pretty much 15 years in UKPW, isn't he?
34:09But he's still not matched for Fabio Romano.
34:12Because you see, I'm a man with a purpose now.
34:15I came back to UKPW with one goal in mind.
34:18And it's to grab some gold.
34:21Because guess what?
34:23Gold wears good on the golden flame.
34:27Thank you so much, Fabio.
34:29Best of luck.
34:30Back to you at ringside.
34:32Shall we find out who he's facing?
34:36Yeah!
34:37Shall we find out who he's facing?
34:39Yeah!
34:40I think you're going to like this one.
34:42Let's bring him out!
34:43And there's my boy!
34:49It's my boy!
34:50It's my boy!
34:51It's my boy!
34:55It's my boy!
34:56Win!
34:57And another star of six pounds!
35:00The heavy metal hero!
35:03The NAIL!
35:10Well, you heard it Grapple fans!
35:13The hardcore heavy metal hero himself, The NAIL, is here to take on Fabio Romano.
35:20And will this be a difficult return for Fabio Romano?
35:25I would argue, likely.
35:27UKPW legend and original, The NAIL, former tag team partner of Buff Broadside, member of
35:34Heavy Metal.
35:35It's my boy!
35:37Fabio Romano is in for some interesting collisions in this one.
35:42Yes, indeed.
35:43Because, again, The NAIL is one of those that comes out hard-hitting, high-flying, and
35:49that eccentricity of what he could do when he turns himself up to 11.
35:54UKPW, no!
35:57UKPW, let's go!
36:00UKPW, no!
36:02UKPW, let's go!
36:05Yes, indeed.
36:06Now, of course, it is worth saying that despite turning himself up to 11, the NAIL does not
36:11appear to be at 100%.
36:12He has a nagging rib injury picked up during the street fight with Louis Basham showcasing
36:19Canterbury.
36:20He has been working through it in true Heavy Metal Hero fashion.
36:24But, with that said, the last couple of, well, it has been the last couple of victories.
36:30The last couple of results have not gone his way.
36:32He's picked up a loss against Delphine in Lock Meadow.
36:35He picked up a loss against Andros J in Maidstone.
36:38He's going to be looking to turn that run of bad form around.
36:43But, every time he wrestles less than 100%, is he compounding the problem?
36:48Well, this is it.
36:49Any kind of injury in this professional wrestling world will hinder your progress in the ring.
36:53But, this is the NAIL we're talking about.
36:58Indeed.
36:59He's looking to turn around a three-match losing streak.
37:05Fabio Romano looking to make a newly found fresh impression.
37:10And, last time you saw him in the UKPW, he came up short in the UKPW Championship against
37:15Alley in the Underworld.
37:16Despite an impressive display.
37:17Are you ready to run?
37:20I said, are you ready to run?
37:27Yeah!
37:28Let me hear you say it with me!
37:32Handle!
37:33Handle!
37:34Handle!
37:35Handle!
37:36Handle!
37:37Handle!
37:38Handle!
37:39Handle!
37:40Handle!
37:41Handle!
37:42Let's get ready to run!
37:45OK!
37:50Well, the NAIL certainly not appearing to feel any best ready for this one.
37:55Again, not to undersell the abilities of Fabio Romano.
37:59He's in for a challenge.
38:00Well, this is it.
38:01Fabio Romano is a very skilled and very competent wrestler inside those four corners.
38:09So NAIL shouldn't be going into this line.
38:14No, indeed.
38:19Measure up.
38:20Square off.
38:21That is run.
38:22Off we go.
38:23Colour and elbow to begin proceedings.
38:30Oh, wait a second.
38:31Grabbing the hair.
38:32Making use of that.
38:33Liberal use of that hair.
38:38I mean, I always used to have a chat with him.
38:42I always used to have a chat with him about his hair.
38:44About it being a hindrance in matches.
38:46But he holds on to that hair like somebody would hold on to a child.
38:50He loves that.
38:51If he ever lost it.
38:53I hate to think what happened to him.
38:55I dread to think.
38:56Let's hope he never puts out as a stipulation.
38:57You dread to think, would you?
38:58Yeah, I would.
38:59Yeah, exactly, yeah.
39:00You dread, exactly.
39:01It's almost like I played for it, but I really didn't.
39:03He's got one.
39:04Meanwhile, Fabio Romano enjoying a headlock advantage over the nail.
39:09As in, he's got one and the nail hasn't.
39:11He's got one.
39:12Whoa, look at that.
39:13Just dragging him down to the canvas.
39:15And that's probably going to be putting some pressure on those ribs.
39:17Well, this is it.
39:18Any kind of contortion to the body.
39:21And again, even something as likely as that,
39:24he's going to compound on those ribs.
39:27By leaning back.
39:29See how he's leaning and putting back on him,
39:31putting his weight onto the ribs.
39:33It's just going to cut out their breathing just a little bit more.
39:35Absolutely.
39:36Referee Tristan's clearly feeling that the nail might be in a submission position
39:40because they're right up in the nail's face.
39:42Checking shoulder block from Fabio Romano.
39:45Don't see that from enjoying that kind of power advantage.
39:50Oh, impressive adolescent from the nail.
39:52Ripped off the ropes.
39:53Rolls through.
39:54Speed starting to pick up a bit here.
39:56Oh, big shoulder block from the nail.
39:58Big shoulder block.
39:59Comes another one.
40:00And another one.
40:02Off the ropes.
40:04Three in a row.
40:05That is a trifecta.
40:06Absolutely measuring up.
40:09Big hip toss.
40:11Fabio Romano's going to be reeling from that one.
40:15Now looking to keep that crowd on as the setting,
40:17as the extra person in his corner.
40:19Trying to go for the double underhook there for that DDT.
40:21They recuperate both in the corner.
40:23Now looking to whip the crowd into a frenzy.
40:28Coast to coast.
40:29Up and over.
40:30Oh.
40:31That would have landed awkwardly.
40:33Caught himself from the knees.
40:35He must have driven that.
40:36And weight into the ribs.
40:37And a running for that.
40:38Knockout blow.
40:39Oh.
40:40Knee to the ribs.
40:42That's it.
40:43Smart move from Fabio Romano.
40:44He's hit that knee to the ribs.
40:46Smart but less chivalrous.
40:48Referee Tristan's not getting involved to keep the crowd.
40:50That's still firing.
40:51Oh.
40:52Good neck breakers.
40:53Fabio Romano.
40:54He's fond of neck breakers.
40:55He'll be looking to hit that Dolce Vita.
40:56Meanwhile.
40:57Dolce Vita.
40:58No.
40:59No.
41:00That's not.
41:01Fabio Romano.
41:02Out here I go.
41:03I missed London.
41:04I missed London.
41:05I missed London.
41:06I missed London.
41:07I missed London.
41:08I missed London.
41:09I missed London.
41:10I missed London.
41:11I was good thinking I was going to say you missed me.
41:18I make a dream.
41:20Anyway.
41:21Meanwhile in the ring Fabio Romano enjoying the advantage here.
41:24Oh and again.
41:26Knee to the ribs.
41:28Just the.
41:29And that just standing on him.
41:31Just the pointed toe of that boot.
41:33The knee.
41:34Now the full foot.
41:36All been driven into the ribs of a nail.
41:38He's going to be feeling that.
41:39He didn't pass today.
41:41Win or lose.
41:42I mean.
41:43We all know that.
41:44Not a hundred percent.
41:46Not a hundred percent.
41:47All there.
41:48But somebody needed to try and took him out of this.
41:50Absolutely.
41:51It's.
41:52You know.
41:53Perhaps.
41:54On UKPW management.
41:55But they check in.
41:56And he says he's good to go.
41:57And all credit to him for the resilience.
41:58But.
41:59It does.
42:00Has so far.
42:01Resulted in the three match losing streak.
42:03And.
42:04You wonder if it plays in.
42:06How could it not?
42:07Oh.
42:08That's a cry.
42:09Chess first.
42:10Chess into the turnbuckle.
42:11Would have hit the ribs.
42:12Probably in the middle.
42:13Fabio Romano enjoying the.
42:17Breathing space.
42:18As Fabio Romano found out there.
42:20The crowd really, really like him.
42:22Yeah.
42:23Yeah.
42:24Oh.
42:25There we go.
42:26See now this.
42:27This is smart move.
42:28Really smart.
42:29Adominal stretch.
42:30That is.
42:31Genius.
42:32When somebody's suffering from a rib injury.
42:33Don't you do it, Fabio.
42:34Oh.
42:35Taking that.
42:36And there we go.
42:37See now this.
42:38This is smart move.
42:39Really smart.
42:40Adominal stretch.
42:41That is.
42:42Genius.
42:43When somebody's suffering from a rib injury.
42:44Don't you do it, Fabio.
42:45Oh.
42:46Clicking that.
42:47And there we go.
42:48See.
42:49Just to give him a little bit of extra momentum.
42:51The referee, Tristan Stone, is now keeping a close eye out for him.
42:55Checking him on the nail.
43:01Tristan Stone, as I said earlier, he's got two eyes, two ears, and a mouth.
43:06He can't get it.
43:07Oh, he's caught it.
43:08There we go.
43:09See.
43:12Now meets the five count.
43:14Keeps it inside of the qualification.
43:16He's got it again.
43:17He's locked in there.
43:18And he's still got it.
43:21He breaks it.
43:22Tristan Stone breaks it.
43:23Big hip toss from the nail.
43:24But that, after a stretch out of that caliber, probably would have hurt him to do that hip toss.
43:30Oh.
43:31Did you hear that?
43:32The things that hurt.
43:33Those forearms.
43:34Probably got a couple of braids to the face as well.
43:37Oof.
43:39A whip off of those threads is enough to take an eye out.
43:42Exactly.
43:43Fabio Romano should be lucky.
43:44He still ends up with a pair.
43:45Whoa.
43:46Kitchen sink.
43:47Big.
43:48Big E to the ribs.
43:49And the cover.
43:50Nail powering out.
43:51But that's going to hurt too.
43:52The more, the more, the more the nail takes the bumps, the more he kicks out, the more
43:58those ribs are going to start to hurt.
44:00Yes indeed.
44:01He's really going to be gasping for pressure and struggling to keep this up really much longer.
44:04A few minutes.
44:05Meanwhile, it's stretched out over that middle, the rope is in the nail.
44:07It's been a mile once again.
44:08And the rough side of the referee chest and starts ramifications.
44:15Trying to get the syllables in.
44:16Oh, look at that.
44:17Goes for another one but rolled through.
44:19Almost took one out of nowhere.
44:21I think that's what the nail needs now, I don't think he's going to get anything else.
44:26Oh, forearm to the pack at the end.
44:30He's trying to work his way up to a vertical base, but Fabio Romano had other ideas.
44:37Ah, this is it, we've seen this before.
44:38Oh, wait, no, he's rolled through, full package.
44:45Measuring up again, I know it, this one.
44:48Oh, that's the Dolce Vita.
44:49Will that be enough?
44:53Oh, wow, he kicked out.
44:55Whoa, well, to the nail, but that must have hurt just to kick out.
45:04Enjoying his impartial role as my broadcast colleague today.
45:07Whipping the crowd to a friend.
45:09Who went? No, I didn't do a thing.
45:11I don't know what you mean.
45:12There's no video evidence of such things.
45:14Oh, nobody home.
45:15Fabio Romano, super kick.
45:16Almost, oh, that was close.
45:22At the 2.9.
45:23Nail almost took that one out of nowhere.
45:25Big super kick.
45:26Beautifully delivered.
45:28Nobody would know that better than Fabio Romano right now.
45:31That's right.
45:32He was still holding his face days later.
45:34He's going to be picking up teeth for a week.
45:36Absolutely.
45:37Probably gold ones.
45:38Oh, he's got him up.
45:40Scoops him up.
45:41Look at that spinning backbreaker.
45:44So many rotations, but there you go.
45:48There's the ring awareness.
45:49That's a ring awareness.
45:50And that's a legitimate use of ropes to break the holes.
45:53Breaks up a pin.
45:54See, Fabio Romano is a very competent wrestler inside this great circle.
45:59And right there, pure ring awareness.
46:01Don't know where he was.
46:02Otherwise, this was over.
46:03He was back kicking out.
46:04Absolutely.
46:05UKPW, of course, has seen the nail for a long number of years.
46:09Fabio Romano, no slight to himself, to ring an experience.
46:12Trying to hook him for the double arm DDT.
46:14Trying to pull it out of nowhere.
46:15Romano kicks him back into the corner.
46:17To that turnbuckle.
46:18Oh, back elbow out of it.
46:19We've seen this before.
46:20Nail scales the second rope.
46:22Oh, oh, oh.
46:24The ribs might be playing into it there.
46:26Makes his way to the top.
46:27Goes for the moonsault.
46:28Nobody home.
46:29The slip was what did it.
46:30The slip was what did it.
46:31Oh, and a big forearm.
46:33And this one is coming to Rome.
46:38And a cover.
46:39And that's it.
46:40Wow.
46:42That was it.
46:43See, we saw the slip on the top rope from now.
46:45That was all it took for Fabio Romano to get on top.
46:48Absolutely.
46:56Well, there you have it, Grapple fans.
46:58An explosive finish.
47:00The nail going for that top rope moonsault.
47:02Nobody home.
47:03And then it's time for the nail to take a trip of his own as Fabio Romano sends him coming to Rome.
47:08One, two, three.
47:10And Fabio Romano on his return to UKPW action picks up the victory.
47:15Buff Broadside, what do you make of that finish?
47:17Exactly what you said.
47:18Exactly what you said.
47:20All right, good.
47:21That's good.
47:22That's good.
47:23Copy and paste.
47:24And it's very good.
47:25That's good.
47:26I'm not sure what you said.
47:27It's good.
47:28Well, it's good.
47:29Well, it's good.
47:30It's good.
47:31It's good.
47:32It's good.
47:33It's good.
47:34It's good.
47:35It's good.
47:36It's good.
47:37Absolutely.
47:38All credit to Fabio Romano.
47:39An impressive victory.
47:41And what a way to make your return.
47:43You're going to be single.
47:44You're going to be single.
47:45You're going to be single.
47:46You're going to be single.
47:47You know.
47:48UKPW.
47:49Let's go.
47:50UKPW.
47:51Let's fight.
47:52UKPW.
47:53All night.
