00:31Have you seen it?
00:35Where's my gun?
00:39We need that.
00:54Greetings Grapple fans Rob Ringside alongside the big OC Dave O'Connor.
00:57We are out in what is finally some glorious sunshine at the Eastgate Gardens in Rochester
01:01as Lewis Basham stalks his way to the ring, desperately seeking gavel.
01:06Very much so, but at this time we are going to send you backstage with our correspondent,
01:10the buffalicious one, Buff Broadside who had an interview with Lewis Basham earlier on.
01:17Backstage correspondent here, backstage Broadside for the day here in the sunny Rochester.
01:22We're here at UKPW and I'm standing with the Law, Lewis Basham.
01:25You've got Prince Dean today Law, how are you feeling about it?
01:29You're a commentator?
01:31When you're a wrestler?
01:33Weren't you a champion?
01:35Weren't you a UKPW original?
01:38Yes.
01:39Yes.
01:40How far have you fallen?
01:43So you're going to watch me go out here in this lovely sunny day and beat the ever loving crap out of Prince Dean?
01:51That's your aim?
01:55It's a guarantee.
01:57So you can watch along, you can commentate, you can do your little interview, but we all know what you really want to do.
02:04It's just not going to happen is it, Buff Broadside?
02:06Here we go!
02:07Yes indeed, Grapple fans, we know what this one means. We've heard this music many a time in a UKPW ring.
02:23We are about to be joined by a messenger of the wrestling gods.
02:28And I start to see some bubbles.
02:32Oh, there's loads of bubbles. I was looking over here.
02:35Wrestle!
02:37Goal!
02:38Winning a £12.75 from Hostum Loans, but it's said to be somewhere around Liverpool.
02:46He is formerly of two-mandated, and he is infused with the power of the WrestleGuard, it's Prince Dean!
02:59Yes indeed, Grapple fans, Prince Dean making his way circuitously to the ringside area.
03:04Very much so.
03:05Very much interacting with the crowd. He is a fan favourite here at UKPW, and he's getting right in the mix with this capacity crowd here in Rochester.
03:12I think he certainly had a work with those WrestleGuard to have a work with the WeatherGuard to give us some sunshine.
03:18I would imagine the Pantheon's well connected in that respect. That's a very smart way of getting it done.
03:22Absolutely so, absolutely. But Prince Dean has been struggling to find a bit of form, to find some wins since his break-up of the two-man day trip.
03:30Yes, absolutely. Consistency is something that has been sorely missing from his recent match output.
03:37Very much so, but let's see what happens when he takes on the man, the law.
03:43Well, the gavel this man today.
03:46How does he fully intend to enforce that law?
03:48As we are ready to get underway.
04:00And we're off. Prince Dean and Lewis Basham.
04:08And the crowd already all over Lewis Basham.
04:11Lewis Basham not only reminding him that it's a gavel, but presumably asking if anybody's seen the gavel.
04:19Very much so.
04:24That's unfortunate. It's a combination of the chance of Tiny Hammer and being unable to locate it makes it seem minuscule.
04:30Where's your hammer? Where's your hammer?
04:33We'll have to go and have a chat with UKPW staff to find out if they have a magnifying glass to find Lewis Basham's Tiny Hammer.
04:38Which is missing, presumed, lost.
04:44Lewis Basham sporting some new ringers. It's the last time I saw him in a UKPW ring.
04:50I always like to mention it.
04:52Lewis Basham turning off the bubbles.
04:54Prince Dean having none of it.
04:56Yeah, having none of it.
04:57Turns out that's a crime.
05:07They're looking to size each other up here. The bell has been rung so referee Tristan Stone is counting to ten.
05:11Very much so.
05:12Prince Dean picking up a victory in a trios match at equal fights and equal rights against Meme team.
05:17But also, unfortunately, losing to Ashmore and Meme's act.
05:22Yeah, indeed. The Medway Gaming Festival, he lost both matches across two days.
05:26Now, of course, we had some challenges with the weather on day one.
05:29And so maybe those wrestle gods, weather gods, maybe that's where the discussion started.
05:33But unfortunately, he wasn't able to effect a victory on day two.
05:35Though he put in an impressive showing for himself. Nevertheless, in defeat.
05:40Hey! Lewis Basham losing his feet.
05:43Obviously, we are aware that the ringside area is very slippery following the weather prior to the start of our event today.
05:49Yes, indeed. The rain has been forthcoming.
05:52But it is now finally starting to show some signs of blue skies.
05:55I assume. I have sunglasses on, as we know.
05:57So I'm doing the best I can to interpret the colours.
06:01I'm trying. The bubbles are very distracting.
06:03I'm trying to distract him.
06:04I'm hard to beat.
06:07Lewis Basham taking his time to get into this one.
06:12There's a look to lock up.
06:14Nice side headlock there by Lewis Basham, gaining control over Priestley.
06:18Yes, and it's a wise move to restrict Prince Dean to the floor.
06:21He's a high flyer. He is a quick individual.
06:24This serves Lewis Basham's plans very well.
06:28Prince Dean locks him into her head scissors.
06:30Lewis Basham, of course, incredibly strong, powers out of it.
06:33Fairly easy. This early in the contest, very unlikely that sort of thing is going to keep him down for very long.
06:39So lock up again.
06:43Trying to build some early momentum, get some psychological edge.
06:46And as you mentioned earlier, it's Lewis Basham's strength and power that you can control.
06:52Just literally from the other side headlock.
06:53Oh, the shoulder block according to plan.
06:57Absolutely. You've seen demonstration of size and power there.
07:00Absolutely. And that momentum will be easily shifted across.
07:04Except the crowd is once again.
07:06All over Lewis Basham. Yes, indeed.
07:09Went for some praise.
07:12He's been given some lovely chance.
07:14Yes, indeed. He's been given the business as it were.
07:17Another big just rolling through Prince Dean there.
07:19Not even a clean contact, just barreling him over.
07:22Once again, that power.
07:24Prince Dean whips him off the ropes, ducks underneath.
07:27Look at that elevation.
07:29Oh, but look, he's put himself in a bad position for that full Nelson.
07:32But Prince Dean, very impressive, rolling through, cover.
07:35And the two, first of the contest.
07:36Almost steals it out of nowhere.
07:38I think Basham would have been incredibly upset if that was the case.
07:41Absolutely. Well, he's the law. He doesn't like stealing.
07:45Here's Basham trying to reach through.
07:46Prince Dean just driving his shoulder into that midsection.
07:49Flips up and over.
07:50Impressive stuff.
07:52It's off the ropes.
07:53Clothesline ducked, hoisted up for a German suplex.
07:56But Prince Dean able to keep his balance.
08:00Lewis Basham, well, I was about to say, unlike Lewis Basham,
08:02but he stayed on his feet.
08:04We forget, of course, Lewis Basham incredibly strong,
08:06but also very, very nimble despite that size.
08:10Prince Dean sees an opportunity.
08:13Just hits him with a boot.
08:15For the second rope.
08:18And the bubbles are back on.
08:19Kids love the bubbles.
08:20The trick is getting them to stop.
08:24As I've found.
08:25Very much so.
08:27We just put Lewis Basham out there and I'm sure he'll do it for us.
08:28Yes, indeed.
08:29Taking his time.
08:30Taking his time to make his way into the ring.
08:32Looking to draw the head of steam.
08:35Oh!
08:36Goes for a drop kick, but nobody home.
08:38Lewis Basham able to evade.
08:39But favouring that shoulder, maybe caught an awkward landing as he went over.
08:43Lewis Basham favouring the shoulder.
08:45Prince Dean now favouring the back of his head following that attempted drop kick.
08:48Indeed.
08:50Look at that.
08:51Big scoop.
08:52One arm.
08:53Going for a slam.
08:55This is professional wrestling.
08:56There you go.
08:57At least somebody's doing it.
08:59Let's bash him.
09:00Look at the...
09:01He's just stalking Prince Dean.
09:02As the crowd once again.
09:07Delaying him ever so slightly.
09:08And that will tell on him.
09:10And the crowd on your side can be a boon.
09:13Having him against you can distract you at an inopportune moment.
09:15Absolutely.
09:16Just that hellacious reverse back elbow there.
09:19Prince Dean running jaw first.
09:21Absolutely.
09:22Into Lewis Basham.
09:23Getting back to his feet.
09:24It's probably quite wise.
09:25Get your bearings.
09:26Very much.
09:27I mean these two...
09:28Only for Lewis Basham to just knock him out straight away again with a top turnbuckle.
09:32Absolutely.
09:33I mean these two previously met at Parkwood Pandemonium.
09:36Oh.
09:37Big chop.
09:38We heard that from here.
09:39Ouch.
09:41And again.
09:42Crowd enjoying that one.
09:43Oh.
09:46Oh.
09:47And then Lewis Basham's had enough.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Just kitchen sinking in there.
09:50Knee and just a club forearm across the back.
09:53So yeah.
09:54These two met at Parkwood Pandemonium.
09:55They've met in multi-man matches at Lockwood Meadows Showdown.
09:58Both of them.
09:59Basham has been coming out on top.
10:01Every time.
10:02Yes indeed.
10:03Basham is on an impressive winning streak in UKPW at the moment.
10:06Just manhandling him like a child.
10:08Look at that.
10:09Huge fall away slam.
10:10The clearance that Prince Dean gets from that ring is nothing.
10:12Short of incredible.
10:13Basham not happy with the official at this point.
10:15I'll go for a cover.
10:16Two count.
10:17Basham not doing enough yet.
10:18No indeed.
10:19But it's a smart move by Basham to focus on the pinfall.
10:20Because that's ultimately how he's going to come away with the victory.
10:21Oh very much so.
10:22But every time that he is going for that pinfall and forcing Prince Dean to take out.
10:23It's expending energy.
10:24Yes indeed.
10:25Every time.
10:26And at the end of the day this could potentially turn into a game of attrition.
10:28Absolutely.
10:29With the sun be beaming down and beating down upon them.
10:30That's going to drain you.
10:31As he whips Prince Dean to the corner to corner.
10:32Oh but runs into the boot of Prince Dean.
10:33There's an opportunity for Prince Dean to build some offense.
10:34Back elbow.
10:35Back elbow.
10:36Out of his.
10:37Oh.
10:38About to fight out of the corner.
10:39But walks into a big clothesline from Lewis Basham.
10:40He's just so explosive.
10:41Yeah.
10:42That's what he's going to do.
10:43Yeah.
10:44That's what he's going to do.
10:45Yeah.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Yeah.
10:48Yeah.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Yeah.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Yeah.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Yeah.
10:55Yeah.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Yeah.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Yeah.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Yeah.
11:02Yeah.
11:03He's so explosive.
11:04Yeah.
11:05That's a good word for it.
11:06He does not need.
11:07Like barely any space.
11:08And he can just launch himself.
11:10Well this is the thing.
11:11We talked about it earlier.
11:12The strength is one thing.
11:13But he is quick.
11:14Despite the strength.
11:15He's not one of these.
11:16You know.
11:17He doesn't sacrifice.
11:18Speed.
11:19Second snap suplex.
11:20As much as somebody who looks like Lewis Basham you would think would do so.
11:24Just these quick snap suplexes and the releases going on it.
11:28Actually looks to.
11:29This one looks like it'd be a bit more deliberate.
11:30But he's rolled in.
11:31Rolled through by Prince Dean.
11:32Cover out of nowhere.
11:33And two.
11:34To reach for the ring bell hammer there.
11:36As he rolls him up again.
11:37And a two.
11:41Prince Dean ducks a clothesline.
11:43To maneuver him into a.
11:45No.
11:46There's a.
11:47A kind of modified full Nelson from Lewis Basham.
11:49Not the kind of one he's usually favored.
11:50But double underhook suplex.
11:55Crowd chanting.
11:56Let's go.
11:57BW no.
11:58UK.
11:59BW let's go.
12:00UK.
12:01BW no.
12:02UK.
12:03BW let's go.
12:04Prince Dean.
12:05Fair to say who they favor in this one Dave.
12:06I would certainly agree with you in terms of the fact that they are loving Prince Dean.
12:12Actively chanting for one of the wrestlers yes.
12:14It does help in that regard.
12:15It does give you an indication of who they will be.
12:17It does give us.
12:18It does give us a helping hand in terms of figuring out where this is going for sure.
12:21Meanwhile in the ring.
12:22Lewis Basham is looking to just drain the energy out of Prince Dean.
12:25Nice Nathan shake hold there.
12:27Once again like he said.
12:28Earlier every.
12:29Kick out.
12:30Every shift.
12:31Is going to expend energy that he might need later.
12:33Look at that.
12:34Hoist it up.
12:35Back body drop.
12:36And Prince Dean is looking to find his way back into this one.
12:38Referee Tristan Stone begins a double ten count.
12:44Slightly make their way to their feet.
12:59Ashton is up has broken the double ten.
13:01Then just measures Prince Dean with a right hand and a knee to the midsection.
13:05Once again driving the air out of the lungs.
13:07Will contribute to that exhaustion that attrition.
13:09Looks like a pile driver.
13:11Oh but Prince Dean flips back down.
13:13Probably best for him.
13:14Wow.
13:15Just hoists him up.
13:16That must have been a considerable feat of energy expended by Prince Dean there.
13:20Lewis Basham is as we've said.
13:21A big dude.
13:22Yeah very much.
13:23And he's got one arm over again.
13:24Look at that.
13:25Smart move by Basham.
13:26Using the ring to his advantage.
13:27Foot on the middle rope.
13:29Breaks the count.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Referee Tristan Stone enforcing the rules.
13:32That will please Lewis Basham.
13:33Which is only good news for referee Tristan Stone.
13:35Lewis Basham rolling into the outside.
13:37Creating some separation.
13:38Grabbing the Prince's crown.
13:40Looking for the crown.
13:43To what end I don't know.
13:44Perhaps maybe auditioning new materials to accompany him to the ring.
13:48Maybe he's decided to move on from the gavel.
13:49Maybe this is healing.
13:50This is maybe so.
13:51But he has turned the bubbles off once again.
13:52Absolutely.
13:53And he's thrown his hair tie.
13:54Oh a hair tie.
13:55He's thrown his hair tie into the crowd.
13:57You know when the hair comes out he means business.
14:01He does.
14:02Referee Tristan Stone looking to get Lewis Basham into the contest.
14:04But Lewis Basham having none of it.
14:05Looking to demonstrate with this crowd here in Rochester.
14:07But in a way this is good for Prince Dean as well.
14:10This is giving him recovery time.
14:11It's very true.
14:12Only downside for Prince Dean is of course the same as extended to Lewis Basham.
14:17Meanwhile.
14:18Looking to hook him up for that full Nelson.
14:20We've seen where this goes.
14:21Nowhere good.
14:22Looks to hoist him up.
14:23But an arm drag counter from Prince Dean.
14:25Oh.
14:26Hits a big clothesline.
14:27But Lewis Basham unfazed.
14:28Bounced off.
14:29Ducks another clothesline of Lewis Basham's.
14:31Oh and that time with a bit of extra ring momentum.
14:34From the ropes.
14:35Prince Dean's able to take Basham off his feet.
14:37Basham in the corner.
14:38Big splash.
14:39Go.
14:40That will sting.
14:41Corner to corner.
14:43Little extra whip into that one.
14:45And a.
14:46Big boot.
14:47A big boot.
14:48A heck of a kick.
14:50And look at that.
14:51Just floors Lewis Basham.
14:52Doesn't end up in a position he particularly wants to be in.
14:55No indeed not.
14:56Lewis Basham calling for a time out.
14:57Even less so.
14:58Yeah even less so.
14:59Given where he's now having to recuperate.
15:01As you say.
15:02Lewis Basham.
15:08Oh they're not good for Lewis Basham.
15:09No.
15:10A Bronco.
15:11A Lewisham buster in the corner.
15:12Prince Dean just.
15:13Driving that posterior into the midsection.
15:16Huffing the air of Lewis Basham's lungs in the.
15:18Arguably one of the more humiliating ways.
15:21Maybe not the most.
15:22But it's up there.
15:23As Lewis Basham staggers to his feet.
15:24Yeah.
15:25I would say.
15:26Top five at a push.
15:28As Prince Dean looks to whip Lewis Basham out of the corner.
15:31Basham favouring that back now.
15:32Absolutely.
15:33Oh and that won't help.
15:34Side slam from Prince Dean and the cover.
15:36Hang on a second.
15:37Except.
15:38Oh hold on a minute.
15:39Making his way to ringside is the suplex merchant Alf Edwards.
15:43And what's going on here?
15:44One has to wonder.
15:48Alf Edwards and Prince Dean have had some problems in the past.
15:51Yes indeed.
15:52As Basham looks to take advantage of the distraction.
15:54Full Nelson.
15:55Hoists him up.
15:56This could be the civil matter as he's calling it.
15:57Meanwhile it looks like Alf Edwards has hoisted him up.
16:01Oh but Prince Dean lands on his feet.
16:02But Alf Edwards meanwhile in the corner looks to be tinkering with some of our ring set up here.
16:07Once again.
16:08Lewis Basham looking to hoist him but.
16:10Oh.
16:11Oh no.
16:12No.
16:13That did not go well for Lewis Basham.
16:14Alf Edwards has been messing with those turnbuckle pads and unfortunately left it exposed for the head of Lewis Basham.
16:18Probably not what was intended.
16:20Alf Edwards is currently beside himself.
16:22Absolutely.
16:23There's two of him.
16:24Prince Dean hoists him up.
16:25Huge power from Prince Dean.
16:26Big Samoan drop.
16:27A Lewisham drop maybe?
16:29Yeah.
16:30Is that naming convention to everything?
16:31We could do.
16:32Wrestle God's drop.
16:33It covers him.
16:34And a two.
16:35Alf Edwards beside himself there looking like he'd almost introduced the complete inverse of his intended results.
16:43And right now he's given the momentum and put Prince Dean very firmly in the driving seat for this contest.
16:48Lewis Basham is going to be feeling it.
16:49Very much so.
16:50This is the thing though.
16:51That Prince Dean said he's done with Alf Edwards.
16:53Clearly Alf Edwards is not done with Prince Dean.
16:54Oh wait a minute.
16:55Oh.
16:56Lewis Basham taking advantage of that exposed turnbuckle pads.
16:59Hoists him up for Nelson and slam.
17:02And that's got to do it.
17:03Cover.
17:04Pancaked him.
17:05And three.
17:09Here is your winner.
17:12The Law.
17:14Lewis Basham.
17:18And there you have it Grapple fans.
17:19The Law picks up the victory.
17:21But wait a minute.
17:22Alf Edwards making his way into the ring.
17:23I don't think he's done with Prince Dean despite Prince Dean's assertions to the contrary.
17:26As they're now just two on one.
17:28Wailing on each other.
17:29Just absolutely wearing down Prince Dean.
17:31It's two on one.
17:32This is hardly fair.
17:33I'm here to stop bullies!
17:35Oh, there we go.
17:36Wait a minute.
17:37The entertainer Theodore Powers has made his way to ring.
17:39Looking to stop bullies.
17:40Absolutely.
17:41That's the words he uses.
17:42He dove in the ring.
17:43Indeed.
17:44So Theodore Powers making the save.
17:46Meanwhile in the ring Prince Dean with Theodore Powers' help is able to recuperate.
17:59And Alf Edwards and Lewis Basham have gone scurrying for the hills with the entrance of the entertainer.
18:03The crowds making sure Lewis Basham knows they believe him to have a tiny hammer.
18:08And it won't help that he can't find it.
18:10That's not going to help his guys.
18:11Absolutely not.
18:12Grapple fans give it up for Theodore Powers and Prince Dean!
18:25Well there you have it Grapple fans.
18:27Lewis Basham picks up the win with arguably an assist from the suplex merchant Alf Edwards.
18:42Greetings Grapple fans.
19:01Welcome back to Rochester's Eastgate Gardens.
19:03Rob Ringside here alongside The Big O.C.
19:05Dave O'Connor at the Commentation Station
19:07and Dave we've already seen Alf Edwards get involved in proceedings today
19:11as he makes his way to the ring.
19:13Absolutely.
19:14It has been a hot minute since we've seen Alf Edwards
19:16and he is hot right now.
19:19The man is not happy.
19:21He's fresh off a victory of defeating Yaya at the Medway Gaming Festival in 2024.
19:28Absolutely.
19:29An incredible match.
19:30A very spirited display from Yaya but in the end Alf Edwards picks up the victory.
19:33Today he'll have his work cut out for him as the entertainer Theodore Powers is his opponent.
19:38He is the entertainer Theodore Powers!
19:51Theodore Powers early on coming out here making the save for Prince Dean
19:55proclaiming his absolute hatred for bullies and we're gonna throw it to our backstage correspondent
20:01the buffalicious one Buff broadside who hand these words from Theodore Powers.
20:10Backstage Buff broadside here today under the glorious sunshine of Rochester here at UKPW
20:15with former UKPW world champion and UKPW original Theodore Powers.
20:20That's me!
20:21It is!
20:22Hello Buff!
20:23How you doing?
20:24Yeah I'm not too bad.
20:25It's a bit damp today but I reckon facing Alf Edwards I go shine up.
20:32Do you know what?
20:33I'll help you out.
20:34You're gonna need those because I'm gonna bring the shine to Rochester when I beat Alf Edwards
20:38today and get myself back on the street because I win and I win and I win and I win every time I come to UKPW.
20:42Except when it matters.
20:43I didn't win Tableside and Scares.
20:45I didn't beat Roth last year in Gillingham.
20:47All I need is one more chance.
20:50So I'm gonna go shine up and shine on you.
20:57And that was Theodore Powers.
20:58Let's get back to ringside.
21:02There you have it Grapple fans.
21:03Theodore Powers some spirited words ahead of this contest and as you say Dave we've already seen Theodore Powers get involved in proceedings.
21:09making the save for Prinstein after the ball.
21:14And the bell is rung unexpectedly.
21:16Alf Edwards gets the jump on Theodore Powers while he's introducing himself to this crowd here.
21:21Very much so Alf Edwards not one to have a wasted moment of motion.
21:26Absolutely as he steals the glasses of Theodore Powers.
21:28Actually not a terrible suit for him either but they don't belong to him that's uncalled for.
21:33As Theodore Powers ducks a charge.
21:39Slides underneath Alf Edwards.
21:41Impressive as always.
21:43Oh!
21:44Athleticism followed by a big step up in Seguri.
21:47Just catching Alf Edwards.
21:48The crowd loved that.
21:49I heard audible laughter of excitement from a crowd.
21:52Alf Edwards doesn't know where he is.
21:54Theodore Powers jumps over and rolls through.
21:56As always Theodore Powers just very quick on his feet.
22:02Alf Edwards looking to wrench the leg of Theodore Powers.
22:05Theodore Powers not really fazed by it's fair to say.
22:08As he kicks.
22:09And breaks contact.
22:10Oh!
22:11Stiff European upper cart.
22:12As he spins into a running head scissors.
22:15Alf Edwards quite wisely at this point recuperates on the outside.
22:19Very much so.
22:20Theodore Powers.
22:21It's not a great place having said that for Alf Edwards to be.
22:24When you're in the ring with somebody of the caliber of Theodore Powers.
22:27And some of the offense he possesses.
22:29Very much so.
22:30As I suspect we're about to see evidence of.
22:32There it was.
22:33Okay.
22:34Theodore Powers perhaps anticipating Alf Edwards would do that.
22:37Alf Edwards not so much.
22:39Oh!
22:40My goodness.
22:41We are in the football season and that would have cleared the goal.
22:45Very much so.
22:46Alf!
22:47Alf!
22:48Alf!
22:49Alf Edwards pain noises from here.
22:51As Theodore Powers looks to.
22:52Big sledge.
22:53Big sledge.
22:54Not letting him recuperate.
22:55Not letting him recover on the outside.
22:57Just taking the fight to him.
22:58Very much so.
22:59But this is not the first time Powers and Edwards have met.
23:02They last did actually lock up at Carnival of Carnage in the Pentagon Center in Chatham in July 2022.
23:08Yes indeed.
23:09That was.
23:10The Powers came out there on the top.
23:11Well I can see what happens today.
23:12Yes indeed.
23:13Oh!
23:14Wow.
23:15Alf Edwards reeling from what sounded like a pretty hard slap to the lower back.
23:18I'm not sure it was the lower back but we'll keep it clean on this one.
23:21Oh!
23:22Oh I see.
23:23I couldn't quite see that.
23:24But I'll.
23:25That makes more sense.
23:26Explains the reaction being so pained.
23:27There we go.
23:28Indeed.
23:29So Theodore Powers corner to corner.
23:31The longest distance in any wrestling ring.
23:33Alf Edwards catches him.
23:34Hoists him round like it's nothing.
23:36Yeah.
23:37Now they're just.
23:38Yeah it didn't seem that way but now they're trading blows.
23:40Theodore Powers with the edge.
23:42He's calling for a DDT.
23:44Looks like it's asking the crowd for advice.
23:46Oh!
23:47We dally too long.
23:48Alf Edwards capitalizes.
23:49Yeah that was.
23:50Introduces the shoulders of Theodore Powers to that top turnbuckle pad.
23:53Oh!
23:54U.K.
23:55B.W.
23:56No.
23:57U.K.
23:58B.W.
23:59Let's go.
24:00U.K.
24:01B.W.
24:02No.
24:03U.K.
24:04B.W.
24:05Let's go.
24:06Alfred Woods.
24:07We've seen that cannonball.
24:08Used a great effect in numerous matches.
24:09Today's no exception.
24:10Launches him out.
24:11Hits a cover.
24:12First of the contest.
24:13Then it's a two.
24:14Theodore Powers not going to go gently into that good night just yet.
24:18No indeed not.
24:19I mean both of these.
24:20Both of these gentlemen are on.
24:21On different trajectories currently.
24:23We know Theodore Powers is in the hunt for the U.K.
24:25B.W.
24:26Championship.
24:27Alfred Woods.
24:28He's still in the hunt for that Interregional Championship.
24:30Furious that he's still not got that one on one championship opportunity.
24:33For the U.K.
24:34B.W.
24:35Interregional Championship.
24:36His last appearance involving the Interregional Championship.
24:38Was to spoil the chances of one David Francisco at equal rights, equal fights.
24:42Which has not further intensified the bad blood between them.
24:44Very much a huge clothesline there by Alf Edwards.
24:47That's two.
24:48Strong two count.
24:51Wind just looks completely knocked out of Theodore Powers.
24:54Oh.
24:55Lovely right hand.
24:56Horrendous kick back to the face.
24:59From Alf.
25:00That's indeed.
25:01Alf Edwards asking the crowd if they want a suplex.
25:03I don't think it matters what they say.
25:05And that's number one.
25:06There we go.
25:07Who's keeping track?
25:08Lucky it's you.
25:09And a cover.
25:10Two.
25:11Round looking to get Fielder Powers back into this one.
25:16Very much.
25:17I'm a suplex merchant out here peddling his wares with his first suplex of the match.
25:20Chuck to the shoulders.
25:21Can't see those very often but it seemed to hurt him so I don't know why it doesn't make more of an imperious.
25:27Oh.
25:28Number two.
25:29Number two.
25:30Very impressive from Alf Edwards of course.
25:31We know what a phenomenal technical wrestler, it's easy for me to say of course, Alf Edwards can be.
25:37Very much.
25:38I mean we do harp on about this but Alf Edwards in his stature he has that such low centre of gravity.
25:43He's able to get underneath his opponent on a regular basis to deliver these hellacious suplexes.
25:48Absolutely.
25:49The centre of gravity notwithstanding the power he has means that he can hoist you from anywhere.
25:54We've seen that done enough times as well.
25:56While Theodore Powers looking to find his way back into this with the help of this crowd here in Rochester.
26:00Off the ropes but Alf Edwards equal to the task drives the knee into the midsection.
26:04And now looking for a T-bone perhaps.
26:06Yep.
26:07Three.
26:08That's third.
26:09Pretty much call it once I'm in the air.
26:11Yeah.
26:12For the most part there are exceptions.
26:13While Alf Edwards very much in the driving seat of this contest.
26:16That is the way to treat a man it seems.
26:29Alf Edwards utilising the referee's five count before disqualification as he was choking Theo Powers with his foot.
26:35Yes indeed.
26:38Scoop slam from Alf Edwards.
26:40Because this is professional wrestling.
26:41Oh!
26:42And a cent on.
26:44Once again.
26:45Two count.
26:46Once again Alf Edwards showing that he's not a single one trick pony.
26:49He has speed.
26:50He has some mild high flying abilities.
26:53Cannonball of course is devastating when applied.
26:55And just his sheer technical ability.
26:57I mean at the moment this rear chin lock just wearing down powers.
27:00Absolutely.
27:01And you want to do that with a high flyer.
27:02Somebody who relies on their speed and their agility and their energy.
27:05Because as the contest wears on that's going to tell.
27:09As you alluded to earlier in an earlier match attrition is the name of the game sometimes when the
27:13competitors are so evenly matched.
27:14As Powers ducks a clothesline.
27:15Oh!
27:16Lovely European uppercut.
27:17Beautifully done by Alf Edwards as a cover.
27:19And a two.
27:20So Neil Powers is just not able to gain any momentum right now.
27:23Alf Edwards cutting him off every time.
27:24Absolutely.
27:25Well it's understandable when Alf Edwards will put little innovative twists on a classic.
27:34So that European uppercut.
27:35He just kind of leaned back and kind of threw himself up.
27:37Might have upset Powers expectation of where he'd expect the move to come from.
27:41Alf Edwards just leveling Powers with forearms and just repeated strikes to the back and shoulders.
27:46Whips off the ropes.
27:49Oh!
27:50Into a big forearm and another from Theodore Powers as he looks to get back into this contest.
27:54Good time to do so.
27:56Powers with the reverse whip.
27:58Ducked underneath.
28:00Rolls through.
28:01Holding it there.
28:06Nope.
28:07Oh!
28:08Fakes out the neck breaker and breaks the neck of his own.
28:12Oh!
28:13And again driving the points of that elbow into the back of the head of Alf Edwards.
28:16That will disorient you.
28:17Very much so.
28:18I'm not trained but you can just tell.
28:20Yeah.
28:21Powers now trying to get the crowd involved.
28:22Alf just needing some separation in the corner here.
28:24We can hear him screaming.
28:25Ow!
28:26Yeah absolutely.
28:27Alf Edwards never shy about telling us what he thinks.
28:29The little Powers going back to the well again.
28:31Oh!
28:32Big clothesline just...
28:33Oh!
28:34Adding that extra leap.
28:35Just throwing him off.
28:38Two of the Powers beginning the crowd's chance of off the top.
28:44As no prizes for guessing what he's about to do.
28:46Where he's about to come from.
28:47Absolutely not.
28:48As he leaps cross body.
28:50Oh!
28:51Beautifully done because this is sports entertainment.
28:53He wasn't able to get all of it.
28:54One, two, two count.
28:56Hold on a second.
28:57What's Lewis Basham doing here?
29:00Referee Tristan Stone looking to get rid of Lewis Basham.
29:03This is turnabout fair play.
29:04Yeah.
29:05Of course Lewis Basham getting an assist from Alf Edwards earlier on in the...
29:07In the broadcast.
29:08And obviously looking to benefit from turnabout in kind.
29:12Theodore Powers has spotted him.
29:13He's going to not let it distract him as he measures up for the cutter.
29:16Oh!
29:17Wait a minute.
29:18Alf Edwards sent Theodore Powers into Lewis Basham.
29:20And he's reeling.
29:21Meanwhile, Alf Edwards takes advantage of the distraction.
29:24Hooks him up for a German suplex.
29:26Powers looking for one of his own.
29:27Is he going to be able to lift Alf Edwards that centre of gravity?
29:30Instead.
29:31Oh!
29:32Goes for the cutter.
29:33But Alf Edwards rolls him up.
29:35And that's it.
29:36That's it.
29:39And out of nowhere.
29:41Alf Edwards.
29:42Here is your winner.
29:43The suplex merchant.
29:44Alf Edwards.
29:45Well grapple fans.
29:46And Lewis Basham getting in the ring now.
29:47Oh wait a minute.
29:48Yeah he's not done.
29:49And now it's a two on one.
29:50Just a repeat from earlier in the program.
29:51And just laying in body shots.
29:52Alf Edwards.
29:53Lays in body shots.
29:54Wait a minute.
29:55Coming from the crowd.
29:56Wrestle got to be with him.
29:57Prince Dean has entered proceedings.
29:58And he is into the fray.
29:59Taking down Alf Edwards.
30:00Just leveling him with kicks and sending him out of the ring.
30:02Basham leaving with Theodore Powers' glasses.
30:04Wait a minute.
30:05Lewis Basham is going to address this crowd here in Russia.
30:06Taking the microphone from the ring announcer.
30:07That's Lewis Basham.
30:08Seems to be waiting.
30:09Oh boy.
30:10Holy damn bullies here sir!
30:11How do you take that?
30:12And he is in the fray.
30:13And he is in the fray.
30:14Taking down Alf Edwards.
30:15Just leveling him with kicks and sending him out of the ring.
30:16Basham leaving with Theodore Powers' glasses.
30:19Wait a minute.
30:20Lewis Basham is going to address this crowd here in Russia.
30:24Taking the microphone from the ring announcer.
30:26Oh.
30:27Oh.
30:28Oh.
30:29Oh.
30:30Oh.
30:31Oh.
30:32Oh.
30:33Oh.
30:34Oh.
30:35Oh.
30:36Oh.
30:37Oh.
30:38Oh.
30:39Oh.
30:41Oh.
30:48I want to know where the hell my Gabo is.
30:54Why the Gabo?
30:56Why the Gabo?
30:57Why the Gabo?
30:58This is not a laughing matter.
31:02Now if I don't get my Gabo back, you could say goodbye to these fake Ray-Ban sunglasses.
31:07Now I want to get my hands on you, Mr. Theodore Pals, but I've already wrestled tonight,
31:17or today, I've already wrestled this Waterdy Prince, so I'll make it very short and sweet.
31:37Crowd heckling. Average size.
31:47So I'm making a challenge to you, Mr. Theodore Pals, I'll see you in Cravesend if you have the contract signed and sealed for me tomorrow.
31:59Lewis Basham.
32:01Okay, okay, before you go, Mr. Lewis Tiny Hammer Basham!
32:18You make fun in Cravesend, because you and I, we are one and one.
32:23I have beaten you, you have beaten me, and as you know, two wrestlers at a draw are bound by a lifelong contract.
32:35Best of three.
32:38So you and I, we're going to go one-on-one one more time in Cravesend, but I don't think the people here today deserve to see us get screwed out of a win.
32:51So I propose that, by all means, tell me if you agree, they say, what, half up two?
33:01I say Lewis Basham and Alf Edwards versus Prince Dean and Theodore Powers!
33:09Oh, that's interesting, Grapple fans, Theodore Powers opening a challenge for a tag team match.
33:16Or is it your shadow is too damn small to accept?
33:28I'll see you later today.
33:29And there you have it, Grapple fans, the match is on.
33:46Well, there you have it, Grapple fans, the tag team match is on for later on in the broadcast, but let's return to the match we just witnessed, Dave O'Connor.
33:52Alf Edwards picking up the victory with some questionable tactics and an undebatable assist from the law.
33:58Very much so in that regards. I mean, Theodore Powers was there, ready for the cutter, and he just got reversed and rolled up.
34:10Right now we'll throw out to our backstage correspondent, the buffalicious one, Buff Broadside, who had this interview with The Nail.
34:21Backstage Buff Broadside here again with the UKPW original and one of my favourite people right here.
34:27From Kent, it's The Nail. How are you, Nail? Taking on Jay Morgans today, UKPW newcomer. How are you feeling?
34:35Well, Buff, it's good to see you back.
34:37Hey, that's it.
34:38Sadly, that's it.
34:39Sadly for The Nail, it's been a bad week this past week for wrestling in general.
34:47First off, we're mentioning Jamie Castle. A great British talent, truly taken from us too soon.
34:58And another one that tragically touched our Canadian brothers overseas and has touched me personally this last week.
35:08We lost the big cat, Scott Henson.
35:11So tonight, how am I feeling, Buff? To be honest, not that great. I'm a bit sad.
35:15But, you know what? Jay Morgans, he's a newcomer here. He's got maybe a lot of potential. A lot to prove for himself.
35:24And I'm going to show him and everybody here tonight why The Nail is the favourite. And we're going to do it Tiger Style.
35:33And those are the words from The Nail. A man with a heavy heart and a heavy match against Jay Morgans. Let's go back to Reza.
35:43Rock on!
35:46Well, there you have the Grapple fans. The Nail whipping this capacity, crying to a frenzy here.
35:51And as well he would.
35:53UK! BW! No! UK! BW! Let's go! UK! BW! No! UK! BW! Let's go!
36:11And his opponent, weighing in at 14.07 pounds. He is from a place that he claims is far superior to him.
36:21He is Jay Morgans!
36:27Well, there you have Grapple fans. The Nail's opponent for today.
36:29Jay Morgans made his debut this time last year at the previous Rochester East Gaze Gardens event.
36:35We last saw him in Loch Meadow in Maidstone where he was involved in a multi-man match including Lewis Basham.
36:41He made a good showing for himself. Very much so.
36:43He did come out with a winner. And it will be incredibly interesting to see what he does here with the hardcore heavy metal hero in the Nail.
36:49Absolutely. I mean, what a coup it would be for Jay Morgans to pick up a victory here today against the Nail.
36:53The Nail, of course, a seasoned UKPW competitor, a former goal holder.
36:58And he has just come off the back of breaking that losing streak.
37:02It could easily just slip back in and that's the exception, not the rule.
37:06Well, very much so, but I think the Nail is going to fight Tooth and Nail, so to speak.
37:11Meanwhile, the Nail is enjoying Jay Morgans entrance music almost as much as Jay Morgans is enjoying showboating to it.
37:17I'm not sure how Jay Morgans will feel about that. I suppose we'll find out.
37:20Well, I would go with the fact that he will not be happy about it.
37:23I think you're right.
37:27Now, somebody's nicked a hammer, are you excited?
37:29Yes, I can give you one person who will have nicked it.
37:35Someone who may have been looking for a gavel while you're on.
37:37Oh, yes, OK, yes.
37:50And we're away.
37:51The Nail and Jay Morgans about to face off here in front of this crowd in Rochester who is getting behind the Nail already.
37:58We haven't even had a locker.
38:02Jay Morgans just sizing up the challenge ahead of him.
38:04As they lock up, and away we go.
38:08Very much so.
38:09Both these gentlemen are very similar in their stature, in terms of their height.
38:13I think the Nail is giving up a little bit of weight there to Jay Morgans, but not much.
38:17Indeed.
38:20I mean, let's face it.
38:21At least a quarter of the Nail's weight is in strength.
38:23There is that, yes.
38:24It does make an awkward sense of gravity as well.
38:26Now, just stomping around the ring and stalking Jay Morgans.
38:36Yes, indeed.
38:37Must be some psychological tricks on the part of the Nail.
38:38And Jay Morgans there with a handful of those Dreads that we just spoke about, forcing the Nail back into the corner.
38:43The record is having Nail it.
38:44Well, this of course is the other disadvantage that the Dreads give you.
38:46It affects your sense of gravity, but it also makes you prime real estate for some hair pulling.
38:50Because there's a lot of it.
38:54Proud chanting, let's go Nail.
39:04Trash talking.
39:05Yeah, stalking around.
39:06Jay Morgans ducks through into a...
39:08Oh!
39:09Nice.
39:10Floats over into a headlock.
39:11Yeah, waistlock takedown straight into that headlock.
39:17Holding the Nail to the floor.
39:18Smart move, of course.
39:19The Nail not without his high-flying offence capabilities.
39:22Jay Morgans will be looking to ground the Nail.
39:28The Nail will not be submitted, that is.
39:33As he makes his way to his feet.
39:34The crowd is very much behind the Nail in the early stages of proceedings here.
39:37Crowd chanting, get him.
39:41I think, having him in a headlock.
39:44Oh, I see.
39:46They mean the Nail.
39:47The Nail just rolls him through.
39:58Is that Jeremy there now, saying he can pull my hair all day long?
40:01Is that Nail lights it?
40:02Or is he happy about it?
40:03I don't want to know the answer to that one, Dave.
40:06There's certain things they don't care to know about a competitor.
40:08That's on my list.
40:11Sometimes it's relevant.
40:12Sometimes it's just...
40:13No.
40:20That's it, Nail trying to get this crowd here in Rochester.
40:23He got so excited.
40:24Darius Bandana slipped over his eyes.
40:28Jay Morgans asking for a test of strength.
40:30Nail, going for it.
40:33Oh, very smart by Jay Morgans.
40:34Just so quick, just looping over it now.
40:37Trying to...
40:39Oh, wrench that arm.
40:43Just wrenching, wrenching, wrenching.
40:45Very much saying.
40:46That nice wrist lock, that control, just holding the Nail in terms of that side of the Nail there with the reversal.
40:52Absolutely right.
40:55Whoa!
40:56Just using that momentum and that leverage to just flip Jay Morgans onto his back.
41:00Jay Morgans quick to his feet, but still in that wrong side of the arm lock.
41:07Jay Morgans rolls through.
41:08Oh, look at that.
41:09Pressing Kip up.
41:10Wonderful Kip up.
41:11Just able to regain the momentum, just like that.
41:15Two count.
41:16Yeah, as I've said, it's the slightly heavier body weight there.
41:18Helping him to pin the Nail down, making him able to spend that energy.
41:22That's indeed.
41:24Jay Morgans holding the Nail firm in the headlock.
41:27Once again, looking to ground him.
41:29Again, from our vantage point, headlock, possibly reverse chinlock a little bit there.
41:33Yeah, hard to be 100% clear from where we are.
41:37Though our position is lovely.
41:38Oh, Nail's going up.
41:39Oh, lovely side suplex.
41:42Look at that pain on, and the cover.
41:44Anguish on Jay Morgans face as he landed there.
41:55Just planting both hands, Jay Morgans to the cameras.
41:58Oh!
41:59Just a stamp on the hands.
42:01Just both hands being leveled by that boot of the Nail.
42:05The Nail's got him wrapped around the ropes, and he's just working on the hands again.
42:08Jeffrey Tristan Stone is going to intervene here.
42:11Count of four.
42:12Of course, on the count of five.
42:13Nail would be disqualified.
42:14It's not the way he wants to win.
42:15Ooh, nice reversal there by Jay Morgans.
42:18Oh, Nail hoists up Jay Morgans.
42:20He ends up in a really bad position.
42:23The Nail just hoists him like it's nothing.
42:25The strength of the Nail is not to be understated.
42:27Very much not, but Jay Morgans still in that enviable position on top of that top.
42:31Oh!
42:33Just breaking the back of Jay Morgans.
42:35Yeah, indeed.
42:36Not a pleasant experience for Jay Morgans, especially with the sun beaming down on you.
42:39There might be some mild burning there.
42:41That's going to hurt even more.
42:42Now, meanwhile, in the corner, measuring out, looking to cross over.
42:47No.
42:48Thought about it, I think.
42:49Jay Morgans makes his way back in, and a boot to the midsection, and he is suddenly in the driving seat.
42:53Very much not.
42:54I mean, as we said before, literally corner to corner is the longest point in any resting ring.
42:58It gives the biggest opportunity for a wrestler to gain actual speed momentum.
43:02Absolutely.
43:03It's a 20-foot, I guess, cross.
43:05A 20-foot ring that stacks.
43:07Very expensive when I needed to confirm my angles.
43:11Jay Morgans picking up the nail by the hair.
43:14Front face lock.
43:15Could be a suplex.
43:16Could be.
43:17Could be.
43:18Like a suplex hook.
43:20Very nicely done by Jay Morgans.
43:23Now we'll feel that one.
43:24Of course, Nail cover too.
43:27Of course, the Nail in the midst of that losing streak was nursing a rib injury.
43:31Yep.
43:32He's recovered, we're pleased to say, but, of course, that's still going to be not quite right.
43:37They never quite heal the way you want them to.
43:42And Jay Morgans enjoying a brief spell of dominance.
43:46Very much so.
43:47Nail gin on the hair of the nail.
43:48Just taunting this crowd as well as the nail.
43:50Just wrenches him down.
43:51Wrenches him to the canvas.
43:56Rafferina getting up on Jay Morgans face.
43:58He's saying, look, you can't be pulling hair.
44:00It's very wise if Tristan's going to assert authority on this contest.
44:03The referee's decision is final.
44:04If referee were to opt to disqualify a competitor, they have no, but he's blown it themselves.
44:10Meanwhile, they're now looking to chop out of this predicament.
44:14Oh, big one there.
44:15Big third shot there by the nail, looking down Jay Morgans.
44:19Oh, big time.
44:21Just lighting up the chest of Jay Morgans.
44:23He is right right.
44:25Listen to this crowd.
44:26They're going mad for this.
44:27They're loving these chops.
44:31Now a call in tiger style.
44:33Tuning up the metal band, perhaps.
44:34Should be.
44:37Do they tune heavily?
44:43Measuring out from the corner.
44:44Goes for a super kick, but Jay Morgans catches.
44:46Good to wrench that ankle.
44:49Yeah.
44:50But he's keeping the nail on his foot, on his other foot as well.
44:53Very, very wise move by Jay Morgans.
44:55Rolled him through.
44:57The nail.
44:58Into an arm bar.
44:59Looks like a front face.
45:00Yeah, looks like a cross face.
45:01Hasn't hooked the arm, but he's got the head locked.
45:05Jay Morgans has made it to the ropes and referee Tristan Stone's just seen it.
45:08We have a better vantage point than Tristan Stone at this particular point in time.
45:12For that particular moment.
45:16Now must have been smelling victory there.
45:20Among the other beautiful scents in this historic gardens.
45:25Now this looking signal that he's going to put this one to bed.
45:28Stomping round the ring.
45:30Stalking Jay Morgans.
45:33Off the ropes.
45:34Big shoulder tackle.
45:35Going round again.
45:38Going round again.
45:39It's just disorientating for Jay Morgans right now.
45:41Has to be.
45:42Just doesn't know where the nail is.
45:44Oh!
45:46A cross between a shoulder block and a shove.
45:48A shove to the face.
45:49Yeah, just a shove to the face.
45:52Once again, just confusing Jay Morgans.
45:55Yes indeed.
45:56Big shoulder.
45:57Oh!
45:58For a third shoulder tackle with Jay Morgans that time.
45:59Saw it coming and was able to shed him to the floor.
46:01Shove another way.
46:03Hoist him up.
46:04Big spinebuster.
46:05Standing spinebuster.
46:06Hits the cover.
46:07But that is a very nonchalant cover.
46:08A single hand across his midsection.
46:10Perhaps unwise.
46:11Perhaps unwise indeed.
46:12It was a two count.
46:13And as you say, the nail is not going to go down that easily.
46:15Jay Morgans off the ropes there with a big running knee to the side of the head of the nail.
46:19Absolutely.
46:20As Jay Morgans looking to remonstrate with this crowd.
46:25Kick out there at two by the nail.
46:28Now once again using that rope.
46:30Bottom rope to break the count.
46:31Very smart.
46:32Seasoned ring veteran he is.
46:38And Morgans taking his eye off the prize here.
46:40Choosing to debate with the crowd which is not the time to be doing this.
46:45His attention should be focused 100% on the nail if he wants to get this victory.
46:48Absolutely.
46:49He is not mic'd up so he will not win that one.
46:50Usually you could argue that there's an instant win for the person with the microphone.
46:53But not today.
46:54With the crowd as loud as it is for the nail.
46:57Jay Morgans looking to put this one to bed.
46:59As he hoists him from what looks like a powerbomb position.
47:01And the nail is not having it.
47:03Three attempts and still nothing.
47:05The nail just wrenches him through.
47:06Oh!
47:07Out of nowhere that nail gun DDT.
47:10He is calling for the elbow.
47:12Which means we know where this one is going.
47:14The nail is going to scale that top rope.
47:19As he goes up to the top rope.
47:20Maneuvering himself into the right position.
47:23Jay Morgans looking to roll himself out of harm's way.
47:26But may have made it worse for himself.
47:29As the nail.
47:30Oh!
47:31Huge elbow drop.
47:33And a three.
47:35And that will see the end of proceedings.
47:40Here is your winner.
47:43The tail!
47:47Well there you have it grapple fans.
47:48The nail picks up a pin for victory.
47:50A spirited performance from Jay Morgans.
47:52You can't get up all night.
