The Knockouts delivered a knockout performance.
BSE held their first live event of 2008 on February 3rd at Raxx Entertainment Complex in Brampton, Ontario and if this show was a sign of things to come for BSE, we're in for an exciting year. The fans were energetic and loud and the wrestlers put on some great performances, highlighted by the main event featuring three of the TNA Knockouts.
Sebastian Suave vs Scottie The Body
In the opening bout, Sebastian Suave and Scottie The Body got the fans hyped up with a solid back and forth match-up. The arrogant Suave taunted the crowd throughout the match and picked up the victory after spraying cologne in Scottie's eyes while the referee's back was turned. Suave slammed the blinded Scottie to the mat and pinned him.
Assault and Battery vs the All-Starters
In a fast-paced tag-team match up, the fan-favourite All-Starters went toe-to-toe with Assault and Battery, who picked up the victory with a combination airplane spin and kick to the head of Johnny J. J's partner Brent B. was disappointed with the result, but vowed revenge in the future. "We fell short tonight," said Brent. "But Assault and Battery will feel the wrath of the All-Starters!"
El Sombra vs Tiger Star
This wild lucha-style contest between El Sombra and Tiger Star whipped the crowd into a frenzy with athletic arm drags, hip tosses and aerial maneuvers. Tiger Star wowed the crowd with a dazzling over-the-top-rope suicide plancha to the floor, knocking Sombra senseless. Tiger thought he had the win after a fireman's carry into a cutter move, but a resilient Sombra kicked out and eventually picked up the one-two-three after a devastating modified pump-handle power bomb. "Sombra's a great competitor," said Tiger Star, showing great respect for his opponent. "We'll do it again, just name the place and time and I'll be there for sure."
Big Brian Youngblood vs Johnny Slam
Crowd favourite Big Brian Youngblood defeated newcomer Johnny Slam who was making his BSE debut. The cocky Slam challenged Big Brian to slam match, where the first person to body slam his opponent wins the match. After many failed attempts at slamming Big Brian, Johnny climbed to the second rope and attempted a cross-body block, but the powerful Brian caught him and promptly powerslammed him for the win. "Slam thought he could get me up there, but there's no chance he will put me on my back," said Big Brian. After the match, Slam blindsided Big Brian and finally slammed him, but the assault was short-lived as Brian recovered and gave Johnny a thunderous big boot, sending him flying over the top rope. "Brian cheated," said a disgruntled Johnny Slam. "I slipped and he grabbed me by the tights and that's why he slammed me."
Tyson Dux vs Vane
The next match saw one half of the BSE tag-team champions, Tyson Dux, take on the massive Vane, one half the Blackouts. This was a very hard-fought battle with the momentum switching back and forth several times before Dux hit Vane with a belly-to-back suplex, followed by a side suplex. Dux then picked up the dazed Vane and hit him with a crushing brainbuster for the victory.
Ash vs Xtremo
The now Three-Time Adrenaline Cup Winner Ash viciously attacked fan-favourite Xtremo before the opening bell and quickly began his assault. Although Ash got the upper hand early, Xtremo rebounded and hit the former BSE Suicide Six-Pack champion with dazzling aerial moves and even battled him on the floor through the lively crowd. The referee was knocked unconscious when Ash hit him with a missile dropkick after Xtremo ducked out of the way. With the referee down and out, Xtremo hit Ash with his signature 450 splash, but only the boisterous crowd counted to three. As Xtremo was reviving the referee, Ash hit him with his gold chain, knocking him out and pinning him as the groggy referee counted the one-two-three. "I'm very disappointed," said a still dazed Xtremo. "I gave him the 450, the ref wasn't there to count it, and he hit me with his chain."
"Au Naturelle" Kelly Couture vs Traci Brooks vs Gail Kim vs Christy Hemme
The evening's main event was a four-corners match featuring BSE's "Au Naturelle" Kelly Couture and three TNA Knockouts: Traci Brooks, Toronto's own Gail Kim and former Playboy Playmate Christy Hemme, making her BSE debut. Brooks taunted the crowd the entire match, but Kelly and Christy soon joined forces and put the busty brunette in her place. After a big body slam, Christy hit Brooks with her signature split leg drop for the victory. After the match, Kelly and Christy celebrated in the ring with special referee Bang-Bang Pete before Christy skipped out into the crowd and danced with the fans, sending everyone home very happy. "I love BSE," said Christy after the match. "They take care of the wrestlers, the fans are energetic and I would do it again anytime."
BSE's first show of 2008 went off without a hitch and the pre-SuperBowl event was a huge success. BSE next hits the Hardball Café in Milton this Saturday, February 9th at 2p.m. with a great card featuring an unbelievable main event.
