Clash of the DEFIANTS 8/21/21

DDK:
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our latest DEFIANCE/BRAZEN joint production… Welcome to Tag Party 3!

Lance:
That’s right, Darren! He’s “Downtown” Darren Keebler and I’m Lance Warner and I’ve been pumped for this since it was first announced! We have the 100th Episode of UNCUT coming up! We have ACTS of DEFIANCE! But right now, the lights are on bright for both DEFIANCE and BRAZEN’s best and brightest!

DDK:
That’s right, folks! A special one-night tournament where teams made up of representatives from both DEFIANCE and BRAZEN compete together for a $100,000 cash prize funded by our parent company, Favoured Saints! 

Lance:
In 2019, it was Elise Ares and Flex Kruger that took it home. Last year in 2020, it was “The Biggest Boy” Dex Joy and Nathan Eye that won it all! Last year’s cash prize of $75,000 has now been upped to $100,000!

DDK:
Not only that… but tonight, right before the main event of the Tag Party 3 Finals, we have a special BRAZEN Championship match for tonight! The monstrous champion, Killjoy, has held the title for close to 200 days! Tonight, Killjoy’s reign may be in serious jeopardy as he takes on the undefeated powerhouse from BRAZEN… the talented 360-pound monster from Hawaii, Luke Ali’i!

Lance:
It’s going to be a great night! But before we get to the start of the tournament, we have the rules for each match coming to play! 

The format and rules appear on the screen. 

TAG PARTY II RULES:

-SIX MATCHES OF TWO BLOCKS EACH (BLOCK A, BLOCK B, BLOCK C)

-FOLLOWING THOSE, THREE MATCHES TO CROWN THE WINNERS OF EACH BLOCK!

-THE FINALS WILL BE A THREE-WAY ELIMINATION-STYLE TAG TEAM MATCH! THE WINNER WILL BE AWARDED TAG PARTY TROPHIES AS WELL AS THE $100,000 CASH PRIZE PRESENTED BY FAVOURED SAINTS!

-FIRST-ROUND MATCHES HAVE TEN-MINUTE TIME LIMIT. SECOND-ROUND MATCHES HAVE FIFTEEN MINUTES. AND NO TIME LIMIT FOR THE FINALS WHERE THERE MUST BE A WINNER!

-IN THE EVENT OF A DRAW IN THE TOURNAMENT MATCHES… A SPECIAL RULE GOES INTO EFFECT… YOU CAN PIN AN OPPONENT WITH A ONE-COUNT! 

Lance:
A ONE-COUNT?!?!

DDK:
That’s right! I’m told that Favoured Saints picked this unique stipulation in the event matches go over their time limit, so it’s going to make any attempt at a pinfall CRUCIAL. Not only are you in a knockout tournament format, but you have a finite amount of time to get there. 

Lance:
Wow… okay, then. With that said, we’ve got Block A action next! It’s the first-ever mother and son team in Tag Party history! The former FIST of DEFIANCE, “Queen of the Ring” Lindsay Troy teams with her own son… BRAZEN’s own Kazuhiro “Kaz” Troy! They take on the team of former two-time Unified Tag Champ and… “Paper” Champion Malak Garland and new BRAZEN star, Thurston Hunter!

The crowd reaction for the first-ever Mother-Son team in TAG PARTY history is a tremendous ovation! On the other side of that, Malak Garland and Thurston Hunter are booed out of the building to kick off the show! LT starts for her side, however Malak Garland wants nothing to do with Lindsay and lets Thurston tag in. The hapless Thurston comes in and… well, he takes a complete beating. For the first minute of the match, Search and DesTroy WRECK Thurston with kicks. Kaz shows what he’s made of with a corkscrew neckbreaker drop followed into a dragon sleeper, but Malak runs in to break up the submission with a boot to Kaz’s head!

Malak drags Thurston to his corner so Malak can go after Troy the Younger with a huge superkick that gets a huge two-count! When Kaz tries to crawl again, Malak absolutely nails him with another cheap shot in the form of a running slingblade for two! He locks Kaz in the FOMO submission and tries to pull his face apart while laughing that Lindsay Troy can’t get into the ring. 

“TROY! TROY! TROY! TROY! TROY!”

The LET member tries to fight his way out, but Malak drops a double foot stomp on his back. He sets Kaz up for the I Trigger, but Kaz moves and nails a standing spanish fly on the comeback! LT gets the tag and fights like a madwoman possessed! Kicks and chops galore knock the ever-loving daylights out of Malak, as does a huge fisherman’s neckbreaker and the Queen’s Gambit… but Thurston Hunter breaks it up before the three! Thurston gets the tag, but Malak rolls out of the ring. Thurston tries a roll-up, but The Queen of the Ring KTFO’s Hunter with a STIFF head kick! The tag goes to Kaz who jumps in and locks in The Pillory (aka Eddie Bravo’s Sorcerer for the tap-out!

WINNERS: Search and DesTroy @ 7:19 via submission (Kaz Troy submits Thurston Hunter)

DDK:
What a great match to open the show! The Troys win their first match and have two more to go… we’ll find out who will join them as the night progresses. 

Lance:
Where’s Malak?

They look up and see Malak with Paper Championship in hand, quietly sobbing as he leaves the stage completely, not even looking back at the celebration of the Troys. 

DDK:
Of course… well, up next, we’ll see if they’ll be taking on either another family in the form of Arthur Pleasant and a young man who happens to be his uncle, BRAZEN Onslaught Champ Michael Van Warren. They’ll take on… I love this name… Dr. Acula! The team of Doctor Ned Reform and BRAZEN sensation, Count Novick! 

The team of Family Values arrive first and get jeers! Michael Van Warren raises his BRAZEN Onslaught Championship while Arthur Pleasant enjoys the spotlight, having been cleared for the first time since his massive win over former FIST Scott Stevens in Three Stages of Hell. Dr. Ned Reform (w/TA Cole) comes out next and gets more jeers while his BRAZEN counterpart, Count Novick gets a mixed reaction (mainly cheers, cause he’s not any of the other guys). 

The match gets started when Count Novick takes on the massive MvW and gets bullied to jeers from the crowd with shoulder blocks, a biel, and a spinning wheel kick for two. He takes Novick up for a Masamume Driver attempt (fireman’s carry) but he slips out and hits a dropkick sending him to the floor… followed by Novick crossing his arms and diving to the outside! Novick gets MvW in the ring, but Reform tags himself in now that the work has been done. Reform goes after he leg and works a few chop blocks to soften up MvW, then a missile dropkick for a close two-count!

Reform works the leg and when MvW tries a slam, he gets hit with a Thinking Man’s Uppercut! But when he comes off the ropes, MvW fires back with a massive Wakizashi Slasher (discus lariat)! The tag goes to Arthur Pleasant and the Faithful… sorta cheer him cause it’s Reform getting thrashed with chest kicks, then a headbutt and Narcolepsy (buzzsaw kick) for two! He backs up and goes for Provocation, but the single leg dropkick gets blocked by Reform and rolled up with a rope-assisted school-boy… when MvW breaks it up! Novick tags himself in and then tries to enthrall Arthur Pleasant to the dark side… and it almost works…

Except it doesn’t and he gets KICKED upside the head with a stiff roundhouse kick! MvW pulls Reform out of the ring, then gets tagged. Then he TAGS Count Novick with a massive spear called The Zodiac Spear…

ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNERS: Family Values @ 8:25 via pinfall (Van Warren pins Novick)

After the match, Arthur Pleasant and Michael Van Warren celebrate before taking their leave… while an angry Ned Reform and TA Cole come back into the ring and lay the boots into Count Novick! The beatdown gets punctuated by a toss powerbomb by Cole and then followed up with Ad Hominem (crossface chickenwing)! The attack continues until the official begs them off. Reform and Cole take their leave to jeers!

DDK:
Family Values takes this one, Lance! Novick coming in and thinking he could actually hypnotize Arthur Pleasant? 

Lance:
Reform and Novick were never really on the same page to begin with, but he didn’t deserve that. Nevertheless… as they take their leave, we have a HUGE family affair for the Block A Decision Match tonight. Two families, one goal! Pleasant and Van Warren against the Troys! 

DDK:
That’ll be good! But for now, we take it on over to Block B! It’ll be the team of two giants, “The Titan of Industry” Uriel Cortez and “Big Tech” Dan Leo James teaming to take on The Lucky Sevens member Max Luck and a former training partner, the masked star Kid Black Jack! 

The boo birds come out for the seven-foot Max Luck (accompanied by Ophelia Sykes) while Kid Black Jack tries to follow along. Then the boos become cheers as the massive seven-foot two Uriel Cortez comes out with the six-foot seven Dan Leo James, trying to calm him down and not letting the crowd get to him... which is hard considering last time he did so, he did  a faceplant into the ring apron. Dan Leo James nods and the two head to the ring. After composing himself, we get a bell ring.. The match quickly starts off when Kid Black Jack launches a dropkick at the much larger James while Max Luck runs at Uriel with a knee strike! 

No love lost between The Lucky Sevens and Los Tres Titanes, especially when Luck and Cortez exchange blows to cheers from the crowd! Uriel CRACKS Luck with chops! Meanwhile, Kid Black Jack uses a shotgun dropkick to James then a moonsault to the outside! But when he gets him back in the ring, James fires back with a pair of rib breakers, then a big powerslam for a two-count! The crowd is on James’ side when he takes control, but when he tries a suplex, KBJ hits a leaping knee and tags Max… then Max locks in the Winning Hand on James followed by the Winning Hand Slam! 

Things get worse for James. Not only is Ophelia Sykes shrieking the whole way about Max Luck being great, but KBJ gets in and hits Three of a Kind (two corner dropkicks, corner elbow smash combo) and then Max gets the Check-Raise clothesline, but Uriel breaks it up! When Max tries to go up top for Walking the Strip, James surges to life and snatches him off the ropes into a big powerslam! The crowd goes crazy as Uriel has the hand out… and gets the tag! A running shoulder tackle for Max and then a chop to knock KBJ off the apron. He nails the Biggest Dropkick in DEFIANCE for a two-count! Uriel tries for the Industry Standard, but Max elbows his way free and nails a big kick and Box Cars elbow for two! KBJ gets the tag and nails Twenty One, but Cortez kicks out!

James heads back into the ring, but trips through the ropes! Max Luck boots him over the ropes, and laughs at his misery, but Cortez is back up and then clubs HIM over the ropes! KBJ tries a running kick, but Uriel BLASTS him with the Chop of Ages MAX! As Uriel covers, Max tries to get inside, but James recovers to keep Max from getting inside!

ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNERS: The Tech Giants @ 9:15 via pinfall (Uriel pins Kid Black Jack)

The kid from Utah celebrates outside the ring while a PISSED Max Luck gets angry and storms off with Ophelia Sykes in tow, mouthing that he wants the Unified Tag Team Titles anyhow. Inside the ring, Uriel raises a fist and Dan leaps to try and awkwardly bro-hug him. Uriel shrugs him off and says they have two more matches to go. 

DDK:
What a come from behind victory that was! KBJ and Max Luck worked together well, but Dan Leo James managed to compose himself long enough to keep Max Luck from breaking up the cover! Cortez and James moves on to face the winner of our next match!

Lance:
Indeed, it will be the biggest David vs. Goliath story of the tournament. “DEFIANCE’s Strongest Man” Rick Dickulous and MASSIVE Cowboy, lovers of lariats, take on the team of the relative unknown Codename: Guardian and one half of the (New) Rain City Ronin, Zack Daymon!

The fans cheer when out comes Codename: Guardian alongside the promising young star of BRAZEN, Zack Daymon. Daymon looks out to the crowd as he and C:G Get to the ring. The monsters came out next... 6’5” and 265 of MASSIVE Cowboy… and 6’9” and 425 of DEFIANCE’s Strongest Man, Rick Dickulous! Despite how his match with Bronson Box ended, Rick wastes no time getting under the skin of the crowd by talking trash. Cowboy gets into the ring while Dickulous talks trash on the ring apron. Daymon starts with MASSIVE Cowboy, but just a few seconds in, Daymon tags C:G and they both launch an aerial offensive, knocking Cowboy down with stereo superkicks and a double dropkick to the legs of Rick Dickulous to knock him off the ring apron! 

The crowd cheers when Codename: Guardian strikes with springboard single leg dropkick… FOR TWO! Another quick tag goes to Zack Daymon and both of the underdogs nail a stereo soccer kick, one to the front and one to the back of MASSIVE Cowboy for two! The crowd is biting on the nearfalls by The Guardians as Zack tries to get MASSIVE Cowboy for a leaping reverse STO… only to get thrown off! When Zack tries a rolling elbow, Cowboy boots the leg away and then DRIVES him down with a huge spinebuster into a boston crab!

Daymon fights through and makes the ropes, but an ANGRY Rick Dickulous tags in for the first time. He STOMPS all over Daymon and then presses down with both feet on him as the referee orders him to back off. Rick does so, but takes a cheap shot on C:G as payback for earlier! Rick drags his face off the ropes and then holds him up for a press slam and then a drop! MASSIVE Cowboy tags in and looks for his running lariat… but Zack moves and then hits him with the big Leaping Reverse STO on the way back! But he can’t follow up! Guardian gets the tag and then runs wild on MASSIVE Cowboy with a springboard clothesline and then another springboard crossbody for two! 

The Guardian has Cowboy down and Zack Daymon tags in for a double team… but as they send Cowboy off the ropes, Rick blind tags in and then MOWS through both C:G and Daymon with stereo clotheslines! Then one HUGE Misery Whip from Rick to Daymon… 

WINNERS: MASSIVE Dick @ 6:27 via pinfall (Rick pins Daymon)

...And that was that.

Rick Dickulous doesn't even stand by to celebrate. He and MASSIVE Cowboy head to the back, knowing what lies ahead. The only other team in the tournament that can rival their own power.  

DDK:
Wow! That was a great strategy by the Guardians to try and isolate MASSIVE Cowboy, but at the end of things, Rick Dickulous and his power are too much for The Guardians! 

Lance:
Ooooooh, no, Darren… and what a fight we’ve got for the Block B Decision Match… the mother of all HOSSFITES… The Tech Giants against MASSIVE Dick! 

DDK:
That one is going to be a FIGHT and the fans are gonna love it! We now get to the C Block with two HUGE tag team matches. First up, The Men-O-War of Henry Keyes and a mystery partner take on one of the possible favorites. Team AWWWWW You-Know-What of the mysterious Corvo Alpha and one of perhaps DEFIANCE’s best EVER in Bronson Box!

The crowd goes wild for the appearance of DEFIANCE’S only airship pirate, Henry Keyes! And behind him is the familiar Tiny Plague Doctor. The mask comes off to reveal his mystery partner… BRAZEN member LEYENDA DE OCHO! The crowd APPROVES the video game-themed luchador heavily as the duo make it to the ring. On the other side of that, Lord Nigel Trickelbush leads out the monstrous Corvo Alpha. And behind them, the crowd goes LOUD for The Original DEFIANT! Former World Champ, former two-time FIST… BRONSON BOX!

Box and Henry exchange pleasantries. And by pleasantries, I mean fucking fists to the dome! The two massive brawlers go right to work and have the crowd in the palm of their hands as uppercuts, forearms and even a headbutt or two get exchanged before Keyes finally takes Box off his feet with a huge shoulder block! But Box returns fire with chops and a knee lift! Corvo Alpha gets the tag and he lays into the taller Keyes with shots and a eye claw. But when Alpha tries to get him up for a piledriver, Keyes uses a back body drop and gets a tag to Leyenda de Ocho, who comes off the top rope with a somersault missile dropkick! 

A running side kick cracks Box, then a big headscissors takes Corvo Alpha to the floor before he goes up top and hits a big somersault tope to wipe them both out! Back inside, a frog splash gets two on Corvo Alpha! But when he tries a shining wizard, Corvo catches him and DUMPS Leyenda on his head using a big suplex. Bronson Box gets back in and works him over with a few slams, a facewash in the corner, and then an Argentine Backbreaker to work him over. 

Corvo gets into things and then CLUBS Leyenda with another huge clothesline to the back of the head. He does it one more time and then a powerbomb, but gets two! He tries another one, but YOU CAN’T POWERBOMB LDO and he gets a sitout facebuster reversal! 

TAG TO KEYES!

TAG TO BOX!

And more BOMBS away! The two brawlers pick up where they left off at the start of things, exchanging more uppercuts and forearms! Box rocks him with a headbutt, but when he hits the ropes, Keyes comes back and ROCKS Box with a tossing european uppercut… for two! But when Keyes tries to fight back, he gets nailed on the return with the one armed slam… for two! He tries the Boston Massacre, but Keyes powers out before it can be fully locked in and nails an electric chair facebuster! 

The battle continues at nine minutes before we get to the time limit, with Alpha and Leyenda back in for their teams after the stalemate between Boxer and Keyes. Leyenda hits a slingshot DDT and goes for the Actualizer… but Corvo moves and then NAILS A HUGE LARIAT! He locks in the Alpha Clutch! He tries to fight, but Box and Keyes keep brawling outside… Leyenda’s arm goes up once… twice… three times!

WINNERS: Team Awwwww S*** @ 9:50 via submission (Alpha chokes out Leyenda de Ocho)

DDK:
WHAT A MATCH! Team Awwwww S just took the win right before the time limit expired, so Sudden Death rules don’t apply… and Box and Keyes are STILL slugging it out on the floor!

DEFSec rushes out with Wyatt Bronson leading the charge to break things up! They don’t even seem to care the match is over, but they keep going. They get dragged off, but in the center of it all, Lord Nigel Tricklebush raises Corvo Alpha’s hand. 

Lance:
Box and Alpha go to round two and they’ll meet the winner of the next match up… Level 8! Thea team of Conor Fuse and one of last year’s Tag Party 3 Finalists, Declan “DEC4L” Alexander go up against the NEW Favoured Saints Champion, Rezin and the German Dragon of BRAZEN… the beast called FAFNIR!

Keyes finally joins Leyenda in the ring and pats him on the shoulder while Box nods to Nigel and Corvo. One down, two to go. 

Perhaps one of the tournaments best-fitting teams on paper - Declan “DEC4L” Alexander and Conor Fuse - have the Faithful all fired the hell up! Their opposition? Not so much. Rezin comes out brandishing his brand new Favoured Saints Championship. The Favoured Sinner has the massive 270-pound FAFNIR rolling behind him. The member of BRAZEN’s Storybook Kingdom stable marches behind Rezin. And when the team get to ringside, it’s Declan wanting to test his mettle against Rezin… but Rezin turns and tags FAFNIR instead!

Alexander comes out swinging at FAFNIR with combos of elbows and chops, not giving the beast a chance to attack! He lays into him, but when he comes off the ropes for a kick, FAFNIR lifts him… but DEC4L slips out and lands behind him. He tries a German on the German Dragon, but he elbows his way out. The tag goes to Conor and then he leaps into the ring. He takes FAFNIR with a pair of clotheslines that only rock him, but when he tries a third time, FAFNIR swing and nails Conor with a shoulder. But he kips up… into a superkick on FAFNIR followed by a Dragon Punch by Declan! The crowd cheers the combo, but Conor only gets two! 

FAFNIR gets rocked, but when Conor tries to set up the Head Stomp, Rezin grabs the leg, leading to FAFNIR dropping him with a thrust spinebuster! The crowd jeers now as Rezin comes and tries to pin Conor with a number of roll-ups from a la majistral, an Oklahoma roll and a Gedo Clutch… all for two! Rezin wants to win as quick as possible to get to the next round, but Conor doesn’t make it easy with Declan in the corner cheering him on. Rezin nails the Cloven Hoof Kick for two! 

Declan watches FAFNIR get tagged in and Rezin watches the German Dragon pick him apart with another huge wheelbarrow facebuster for another nearfall, but Declan comes to the rescue. FAFNIR tries to set up Conor for the elevated powerbomb, but Conor turns it into a tilt-a-whirl DDT called PWN’D! The tag goes to Rezin… and Declan! 

Declan runs through Rezin using a pair of flying forearms, a huge dropkick to the corner and then nails the GGez Kick to the face (jumping yakuza kick) for a CLOSE fall and what could have been a major upset over the Favoured Saints champ! Declan goes for Play of the Game, but he catches him with a backslide for two! Rezin nails a running somersault neckbreaker and makes the tag to FAFNIR to come back and end it. He tries a Powerbomb… but when he goes up, Declan tries to roll a sunset flip… and Conor out of nowhere with the HEAD STOMP! He finally gets FAFNIR off his feet! Then Declan up… PLAY OF THE GAME!

ONE! Rezin tries to save… TWO! But Conor stops him!

THREE!

WINNERS: Level 8 @ 9:45 via pinfall (Declan over FAFNIR)

Conor and Declan celebrate the win and share a happy bro-hug amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Rezin takes his Favoured Saints Title, holds it up and tells the crowd to go stick it as he heads to the back. 

DDK:
CLOSE ONE! Close, but Conor Fuse and Declan Alexander double-team the powerhouse FAFNIR and move on to round two!

Lance:
But don’t forget who’s left… they take on Corvo Alpha and Bronson Box. 

DDK:
That is the A Block, B Block and C Block finals all set! Coming up, we’ll take a quick break and when we get back to it, we’ve got the Block A finals! Search and DesTroy of Lindsay and Kaz Troy take on Arthur Pleasant and Michael Van Warren!

One more time tonight, DEFIANCE’s Arthur Pleasant and BRAZEN Onslaught Champion Michael Van Warren come out and look ready for action. But opposing them, the crowd cheers the appearance of the Troys. Lindsay Troy out first with her son and LET member Kaz Troy and the crowd is behind the Troy family. 

Arthur Pleasant and Lindsay Troy have had a pair of violent encounters in the recent past with the wins being tied at one a piece and they both meet up again with vicious blows to start! Kicks by Troy and kicks by AP leave the crowd stunned as they go for shots all within the first minute. But things go bad from minute two on when MvW sneaks to the other side of the ring, drives Kaz down and then SMASHES him into a barricade! The Queen of the Ring tries to fight them off one at a time, but the numbers are too much even for the Queen and the former FIST now finds herself in a bad spot. 

The leader of the Scourge and the BRAZEN Onslaught Champion take their time working Troy over with a variety of slams and strikes over the next several minutes, including a Provocation from AP, but for two! MvW follows that up with the Megaflare (sit-out powerbomb) for two! The crowd wants young Kaz in the ring, but he’s been left on the outside with no one for Troy to tag out to. But perhaps showing a little overzealousness, MvW tries a second one, but Troy nails a hurricanrana to send him to the outside along with AP after a huge thrust kick… and then a sasuke special for both men! 

Troy gets back into the ring and finally gets the tag to her adopted son! A sling blade and a rolling koppou kick to the outside level both MvW and AP respectively and then Kaz decides his own mom won’t outdo him so he hits a huge corkscrew plancha to the outside! He gets the legal man MvW back inside and hits a diving double foot stomp for two! The time limit is about to close in with a minute left and Kaz’s attempt at the Royal Treatment piledriver gets turned back by MvW and gets leveled with a Zodiac spear at close to the fifteen minute mark! 

ONE! TWO! BROKEN UP BY TROY AT 15 MINUTES!

The bell rings and Darren Quimbey announces it will now be Sudden Death rules…  pinfall ONLY to win and will be under a one-count! AP tackles LT to the ground and yells at MvW to finish the job. He goes for the Masamume Driver, but Kaz reverses into a crucifix pin.. HE GETS THE ONE-COUNT AND THE WIN!

WINNERS: Search and DesTroy @ 15:57 under Sudden Death rules (Kaz pins Van Warren)

Not wanting to stick around to face the Onslaught Champion’s wrath, Kaz Troy gets the hell out of the ring with the quickness while Lindsay Troy joins him on the outside. The two head up the ramp and go to get ready while an irate Arthur Pleasant and a pissed-off Michael Van Warren badmouth the official and protest what they call “stupid Sudden Death Rules!”

DDK:
The first match that goes to Sudden Death Rules in Tag Party 3 tonight and it’s The Troys with the win! They win the A Block tonight and they move to the finals! 

Lance:
Coming up next, we’ve got the HOSSFITE OF HOSSFITES in Block B! The Tech Giants take on MASSIVE Dick next… I can’t believe I said those words out loud…

DDK:
All about content, Lance.

The fans show plenty love to the leader of Los Tres Titanes, Uriel Cortez and by his side, the BRAZEN rookie Dan Leo James. Looking a little more comfortable in front of the crowd now, he looks ready… but doesn’t get to enjoy it when Rick Dickulous comes out, along with MASSIVE Cowboy. Uriel wants to lock up with Rick, but before he can do anything, Dan Leo James tags himself in at the start, surprising Uriel! The crowd cheers on the gumption shown by James as the Utah native rocks Rick Dickulous (stumbling him, not knocking him off his feet) with a big boot, then clobbering MASSIVE Cowboy using a back elbow!

Dan goes right after the Lumbergiant with a series of forearm smashes to the chest, but Rick drops him with one headbutt and actually THROWS Dan at his corner, wanting a piece of DEFIANCE’s largest man! The Titan obliges and then the two wow the crowd with HIT after HIT! Uriel’s chops stop pretty much everybody in their tracks, but Rick proves he’s not just anybody in DEF. In fact, DEF’s Strongest Man drops him with a huge running shoulder tackle, knocking Uriel off his feet! 

It’s at this point that Uriel Cortez remains the giant in peril when he gets worked over by both Rick Dickulous and MASSIVE Cowboy. Boots, stomps, and even an IMPRESSIVE double-team shoulder block drop the man with DEFIANCE’s Deadliest Hands, leaving Dan Leo James to helplessly watch. MASSIVE Cowboy even clocks Uriel in the back of the head with a lariat as he’s grounded, but Dan Leo James breaks it up! When Rick gets in the ring, he readies a Misery Whip, but Uriel blocks and counters with a STIFF headbutt and then a HUGE spear to drop Rick! The tag goes to both MASSIVE Cowboy and Dan Leo James! 

James fights back with a pair of forearms and a big rib breaker followed by a powerslam, but only gets a two-count, then decides to chance going to the middle rope… and connects with a big flying shoulder for two as well! He tries to end it with a suplex, but MASSIVE Cowboy cracks him with a throat chop and a DDT… for two! Rick tries to get back into the ring, but this time, he’s cut off by Uriel with the Chop of Ages! The two massive monsters fight on the outside with Dan tripping up MASSIVE Cowboy! With quick thinking, he grabs the arm and uses the Minute-Approved La Majistral on the bruiser!

ONE!  TWO! THREE!

The Faithful go NUTS as Dan Leo James busts out the move taught to him by Uriel’s tag team partner, Minute! 

WINNERS: The Tech Giants @ 9:05 via pinfall (Dan Leo James pins Cowboy)

Dan Leo James raises a fist and then celebrates… but no sooner than he does, then Rick Dickulous comes back and SLUGS him with the Misery Whip! Uriel comes back into the ring, but Rick angrily storms off backstage. 

DDK:
The Tech Giants are heading to the finals! They are the B Block winners of Tag Party thanks to Dan Leo James pulling it out at the clutch! 

Lance:
That Misery Whip by Rick Dickulous was vicious and I hope Dan will be okay by the main event, but tonight, it looks like his fear of crowds may be subdued long enough to participate later if he is cleared. One last match in the C Block! Team AWWWWW S*** goes up against Level 8! Who will join the Tech Giants and Search and DesTroy in the finals? We’ll find out next!

One more match before the Tag Party 3 final match is all set up… And it comes down to two teams. The first to come out is Conor Fuse and Declan “DEC4L” Alexander, earning HUGE crowd support… but the next team of Corvo Alpha (getting himself jeers with Lord Nigel by his side)... and the ROARS come out for Bronson Box! The Original DEFIANT! As all four men start to take their places… Conor and Declan attack early! Double dropkicks to Corvo and Box, knocking Box out of the ring!

The monster known as Corvo Alpha gets double-teamed by the team of gamers! A big spinning back elbow followed by a HUGE Dragon Punch! 

ONE! TWO… SAVED BY BOX!

The crowd almost believes that to be the end, but Box grabs the neck of Declan and applies God’s Fiery Right Hand to his skull! The referee has lost almost all control of the match, but Conor makes the save for his partner, cracking Box with a superkick to take him to the outside. Alpha nails him with a huge clothesline, but Declan returns fire with the GGez Kick and sends him flying to the outside. Declan then goes to the top rope and borrows a little Weapon Get from his tag team partner… 

SIDE SCROLLING SENTON FROM DECLAN!

The crowd goes nuts with Corvo back in and he tries making the cover, but only gets two! Box nails Declan with vicious chops, but Declan tries to stand up to him and uses chops taught by Box’s very own former rival, Lindsay Troy! The two go to blows but when Conor tries to get in to save Declan, Corvo grabs the leg and powerbombs Conor on the ground! Declan nails Box with a huge boot and then tries for the Play of the Game… SLEEPER CHOKE! Box counters and turns it into…

THE BOSTON MASSACRE!

Declan tries to fight and fight… but when he can’t break out… he keeps trying… but eventually succumbs to unconsciousness!

WINNERS: Team AWWWWW S*** @ 7:56 via ref stoppage (Box over Declan)

DDK:
A mile a minute for the Block C finals! Conor and Declan showed great teaming through their matches, but Box and Corvo Alpha rack up another one!

Lance:
Your Tag Party 3 Finals are set! The Block C winners of Team AWWWWW S will take on Block A winners Search and DesTroy and Block B winners The Tech Giants! 

DDK:
But first… if you’ve ever wanted to see a Beast fight a God, we’ve got an amazing match coming up next! BRAZEN Champion and “LET’s Beast” Killjoy goes one-on-one against the undefeated “Shark God” Luke Ali’i, the man that pinned him in tag action a few weeks ago! Let’s get to it!

A virtual, yet undefeated unknown gets loud cheers from the crowd. The 6’5” and 367-pound Luke Ali’i has former DEFIANCE star “Bantam” Ryan Batts and mentor Sonny Silver by his side as he hits the ring. On the other side, the crowd jeers for the members of Les Enfants Terribles. The BRAZEN Tag Team Champions Archer Silver (Sonny’s own nephew) and High Flyer IV (Jack Harmen’s son) along with their monster and the only two-time monster of BRAZEN… The 6’10” and 390-pound Killjoy. The title goes up to show what’s on the line and the crowd is ready for a fight. 

The match starts off with technical chain wrestling. And if you believe that, welcome to your first BRAZEN show. The two monsters exchange blows quickly. Killjoy’s clubbing blows against Ali’i’s massive forearms until Luke has enough and POWERS Killjoy over with no problem using a Samoan drop! Killjoy is sent packing with a low thrust kick from Ali’i and after that he goes out to the apron and nails a hip attack, stunning Killjoy! The crowd doesn’t believe it as Ali’i takes him back to the ring… for two!

When Luke goes to the middle rope for a splash, Killjoy moves and hits a HUGE chokeslam off the ropes… but only gets a two-count himself! The LET members watch while Sonny Silver and Ryan Batts watch on with Luke Ali’i getting taken apart with nasty shots and then a HUGE lariat that almost turns him inside out… but still only manages to get a two-count! But when Killjoy tries to go for another one… Luke surprises the crowd with a quick drop-down and then takes down Killjoy with a big belly to belly suplex on the return!

The Shark God fires up with the Faithful behind him, wanting to see him slay LET’s Beast. A running hip attack in the corner whiplashes Killjoy followed by a HUGE release ura-nage suplex for another close two-count! Luke goes up top… INTO THE DEEP! The Top Rope Splash connects… but Archer puts Killjoy’s foot on the bottom rope! Batts goes into action and tries to fight off the rest of LET with a chair, but when Luke tries a Impact Crater, Killjoy slips out and then nails not one, not two… but TEN headbutts to rock, Luke! Both men are busted open from the nasty shots… but Killjoy is able to take him up and over… FreeFall!

ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER: and STILL BRAZEN Champion, Killjoy via pin @ 11:24 with The FreeFall

Ryan Batts and Sonny Silver check on Luke Ali’i, but the Shark God waves them off and doesn’t want the help. Meanwhile, Killjoy, Archer Silver and High Flyer IV leave with the major gold in tow. 

DDK:
What a fight we just witnessed! Luke Ali’i gave Killjoy everything we had and had Archer Silver not put his foot on the bottom rope, I think that Into The Deep Splash would have ended it!

Lance:
Luke has been the man recently in BRAZEN to pin Killjoy, so Killjoy evens the score tonight to retain the BRAZEN Championship! Les Enfants Terribles continue to dominate the top of the singles and tag team divisions! Can their fellow member Kazuhiro Troy continue that in the finals of the Tag Party 3 coming up?

DDK:
We’ll find out because that match… IS NEXT!

DDK:
It’s been a jampacked show tonight, but we have reached the end of the night! Block A Winners Search and DesTroy overcame the Subreddits and Family Values in Sudden Death to get here! Block B winners The Tech Giants made it through The Gamblin’ Men and MASSIVE Dick. Block C winners Team AWWWWW S*** overcame two very game teams in The Men-O-War and Level 8! 

Lance:
Here are the rules for the finals! No time limit, elimination rules! Two wrestlers in the ring at one time and they can tag anyone. This will go until we have one team left; they will be your Tag Party 3 winners and will be awarded the commemorative Tag Party 3 trophies and the $100,000 cash prize!

First out are the Block A winners for the third time tonight and the ones with the most ring time… Lindsay Troy and Kaz Troy, getting HUGE cheers from the crowd. Up next, the giants of the finals. “The Titan of Industry” Uriel Cortez and a groggy, but ready Dan Leo James getting loud cheers themselves. And again… MORE loud cheers from Bronson Box (less so for Corvo Alpha). But once all three teams enter the ring, it’s on!

The crowd gives a loud OOOOOOH for Lindsay Troy and Bronson Box picking up where they left off in the Warchamber several years ago… SLUGGING IT OUT. Kicks and chops from Troy the Elder. STIFF forearms from Boxer! The Faithful are all about it as they continue to exchange hits! It’s Boxer that gets the better of Troy with a forearm, but Troy surprises him on the return with a standing Spanish fly off the bat… but a kickout at two!

Troy tags in Kaz and the two work over Box in the corner and have a mother-son day at work kicking the stuffing out of Box in their corner before Kaz nails a corkscrew roundhouse for two! Kaz tries move again and runs off the ropes, but Uriel tags himself in. He steps over the ropes and Box can’t believe the size of the man before him, but he doesn’t back down regardless. He lays into Uriel with chops of his own… but Uriel shakes them off and nails ONE stiff chop to Box that knocks him on his back! Corvo Alpha tries to help his partner… CHOP! 

Kaz comes back… CHOP!

And Lindsay doesn’t get left out either, getting NAILED with a huge chop and being knocked to the floor! Uriel unleashes a huge roar to the Faithful! Box is back up and goes after the leg of Uriel and then chops him down with a big chop block, then nails him about the head with big forearms and European uppercuts! Then bites his face! But Box tries to lock in the Boston Massacre… and Uriel POWERS out! The Titan gets to the ropes with Box on his back and and tags Dan Leo James! He slams Box down and then stands up with Dan Leo James jumping on his back! Uriel nods and then starts pressing down with Boxer on the ropes while pressing down on his chest until a count of four, all the while Dan adds extra leverage!

Dan nails a huge gutwrench suplex on Boxer for two, then a back suplex for two! He tries a pumphandle next… but Box slips out and strangles him by the neck with a sleeper hold! He tries to power down Big Tech and Corvo tags in to help him do it! The two men beat him down with every manner of headbutt, elbow and chop to keep him down… but Dan elbows them anyhow and a big kick for Corvo… but Box nails a HUGE one-armed side slam! Corvo locks in the Alpha Clutch! 

Dan tries to fight his way out, but Kazuhiro and Lindsay Troy both come in and go after the legs of Uriel to keep him from saving his partner! He tries to throw them to the side, but Troy has him by the neck and Kaz by his arm on the outside! Dan Leo James starts to black out… But they can save him! He goes dark! 

THE TECH GIANTS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!

Uriel shakes them off, but it’s too late! Uriel grits his teeth after coming so close and then helps Dan out of the ring while Corvo and Box stand tall, chopping the BRAZEN big man down to size effectively! Without a doubt, Dan Leo James proved his worth tonight… 

But now it comes down to one team… 

Search and DesTroy. 

Team AWWWWW S***. 

And ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

Lindsay and Boxer brawl! Corvo and Kaz trade shots for the first time! The crowd is LOUD and on their feet for every strike! Corvo nails Kaz with a massive clothesline to get him down and out of the ring! Troy tries to fight off Box again and kicks him squarely in the face with a huge boot… but he bounces back between the ropes and ROCKS The Queen of the Ring with a pendulum lariat! ONE! TWO!

NO!

Box and Corvo look to end Troy, but Corvo tags himself in to the surprise of Box and not so much to Lord Nigel, who evidently wants to give his team the glory. Troy is hurt, but still shoves Corvo back before he tries a powerbomb… for two due to Kaz hitting a diving double foot stomp to break up the cover! Kaz saves his mother from certain defeat and she’s able to make the tag! And Kaz goes wild with kicks for Box, kicks for Corvo and then plants Corvo with a big-time Coronation!

ONE!

TWO!

BROKEN UP BY BOX! 

Box enters the ring and batters Kaz with more shots! He tries to hook him up for the Bombasto Bomb, but before he can get there, Troy comes to her son’s aid and helps him free before they BLAST Boxer with a double superkick to knock him to the outside! Corvo is left alone with Kaz and Troy before they nail HIM with a double roundhouse kick to the head! Then Thy Kingdom Come (Small Package Driver) by Lindsay! COVER WHILE TROY KEEPS BOX AT BAY!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!
