At long last, the fans need not wait longer .

BSE held our second event in less than a week on February 9th at The Hardball Café in Milton, Ontario and the place was electric as we featured the main event BSE fans have been waiting for. After being cancelled on February 25, 2007 due to weather, BSE finally delivered 'The Samoan Submission Machine' Samoa Joe vs 'The Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels, a year in the making. The much anticipated main event capped off an afternoon of great matches, including the crowning of new BSE tag-team champions.

Sebastian Suave vs Scottie The Body vs Brent B. vs Tiger Star vs El Sombra vs Johnny J. vs Jason Virtue vs Bang-Bang Pete
The preliminary bout was a Crazy Eight Match in which the first competitor to score a pinfall or submission gains the victory. The match was wild and fast-paced as all eight participants tagged in and out quickly and put on quite a display for the live crowd. After the others began battling on the outside, Tiger Star stunned Brent B. with a beautiful tilt-a-whirl backbreaker in the middle of the ring. Bang-Bang Pete then quickly hit Tiger with a top rope bulldog on top of Brent and pinned him for the win. "It was a hard-fought victory," said Pete after the match. "The underdog pulled it off."

Anton Arakis vs Angel De Guerra
The unforgiving fans jeered and taunted the ample-bellied Arakis the entire match, which only seemed to motivate him to take it out on his opponent. The battle between the two California natives eventually spilled out onto the floor where Angel gained the upper hand. He got Arakis back into the ring and hit him with a top rope flip for the win.

The Reflections Of Perfection vs Assault and Battery
This tough tag match began with Mike Alias getting the better of Vlad the Penetrator with chops, arm drags and hip tosses before the 299-pounder finally tagged in Flesh. The muscle-bound Flesh turned the tide on Alias, hitting him with numerous power moves and preventing him from making a tag. Alias was finally able to crawl to the corner and tag in the anxious Bat Martinez, who was a house of fire hitting clotheslines and dropkicks on both Vlad and Flesh as the crowd erupted. The Reflections of Perfection eventually threw Alias onto the floor and double-teamed Martinez to score the victory after a combination sidewalk slam/second rope guillotine.

Hayley Rogers vs "Au Naturelle" Kelly Couture
BSE's resident diva "Au Naturelle" Kelly Couture went toe-to-toe with Hayley Rogers, who gave the Torontonian all she could handle during the match. The crowd was loudly behind Couture as she hit Rogers with the Kelly Cutter for the one-two-three. After the match, the sexy Kelly rewarded the crowd for their loyalty with a little tease, stripping down to her bra to a chorus of cheers and whistles. "That was a tough match," said Kelly afterwards. "But they got me through it."

Cody 45 vs Kris Chambers
This duel of fan-favourites split the crowd as Cody 45's return to BSE had the fans buzzing. The two shook hands before the match and proceeded to have a very fast-paced athletic match-up filled with beautiful exchanges and reversals. At one point, Cody hit a quick cutter on Chambers who recovered quickly to hit Cody with a superkick as the crowd continued to cheer both men. Chambers slowly rose up, picked up Cody's legs and attempted to lock on the sharpshooter, but Cody quickly countered with a small package for the pin. The two once again showed each other respect as they shook hands and embraced before leaving to the fans' applause. "It was a hard-fought victory," said an exhausted Cody 45. "We gave everything we had and I look forward to a rematch."

Ash vs James Champagne vs Franky The Mobster
This triple threat match began with Champagne and Franky trading verbal insults as Ash waited outside the ring, impatient and unimpressed. The crowd laughed and cheered as Franky's remarks got the better of the 'Vanilla Killa' who threw down the microphone in frustration as Ash climbed into the ring and blind-sided Franky. Ash and Champagne then joined forces to beat down the current BSE Suicide Six-Pack Champion. Franky had numerous short-lived comebacks before finally throwing Ash over the top rope and hitting Champagne with a thunderous sit-down power bomb for the victory. "Hopefully one day I'll get to wrestle a man in BSE," said the confident champion. "I feel like a pedophile." Ash shared a different opinion. "Franky got lucky," said the 3-time Adrenaline Cup winner. "He won't pin me."

BSE TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
T'N'T [c] vs The Blackouts
T'N'T, Tyson Dux and El Tornado put their tag-team titles on the line in Milton against the Blackouts, Vane and Pierre Shadows. The Blackouts took control early, highlighted by sit-down power bomb by Shadows after catching Tornado jumping at him from the second rope. T'N'T then successfully distracted the referee and gained the advantage on Shadows, double-teaming him and working on his leg as a frustrated Vane looked on from his corner. Vane then took justice into his own hands, storming the ring to save his partner. The referee lost control of the match as the war continued outside the ring and through the crowd. When the action returned to the ring, Dux hit Vane with his signature brainbuster and the fans thought it was all but over. Tornado then climbed to the top rope and went for a frog splash but Vane moved out of the way, causing Tornado crash violently to the mat. Vane then lifted Tornado up onto his shoulders as Shadows threw Dux out of the ring, climbed to the top rope and hit Tornado with the Doomsday Device. Vane quickly covered Tornado for the pin, giving the Blackouts their first ever BSE tag-team championship. "The Blackouts have made their mark in BSE," said an excited Vane. "After three years, the hard work paid off." After the match, the Reflections of Perfection spoiled the celebration by announcing their desire to be the new number-one contenders for the tag-team titles.

Christopher Daniels vs Samoa Joe
It was finally time for the match one year in the making as 'The Fallen Angel' took on 'The Samoan Submission Machine' in the main event. The fans were excitedly anxious as the former TNA champions made their entrance to the ring. Joe dominated the match early, fueled by chants of "Joe, Joe, Joe!" by the loud Milton crowd. Everyone was on the edge of their seats as Joe pounded Daniels with power moves, kicks and elbows. Daniels was finally able to gain the advantage by working on Joe's left arm. The comeback was futile however as Joe was able to counter and lift Daniels onto the top rope. Joe then picked Daniels up on his shoulders, setting him up for the muscle-buster, but Daniels slipped out of his grasp and attempted a suplex. Joe countered that and locked in the rear naked choke. The crowd stood up and cheered as Daniels tapped out, giving the big Samoan the victory in his BSE debut. The two stars then shook hands in a show of mutual respect, sending the fans home happy and satisfied. "The BSE fans were obviously behind me," said a tired Joe. "Daniels is a good wrestler, but he can't beat the Samoan Submission Machine." When asked about his thoughts on the match, Daniels' one-word response said it all. "Ow."
