The show began as ring announcer Brandon Stroud introduced
the audience to the acting commissioner for Inspire Pro, none other than “Solid
Gold” Greg Symonds. Greg thanked everyone for attending and noted how he has
seen a locker room full of passionate, hungry talent looking to impress &
inspire. A great ovation was given for Symonds as we kicked off “The Beginning”
of Inspire Pro.
4-Way Scramble Match
For A Spot In The Three-Way Main Event Of The Next Show: VOID (“One Man” Mike
Dell) def. “The Cowboy” James Claxton, “Texas Maverick” Jared Wayne &
“American Viking” Alexander Rudolph
In the debut match for Inspire Pro, 4 men collided with one
intention, and that was to capture a spot in the next three-way dance on the
road to crowning the first Inspire Pro champion. The two giants, Claxton and
Rudolph squared off in the early goings, with both men showing that they would
not back down from either man. Wayne decided to pick his spots, which led to
very mixed results for the “Texas Maverick”. But, it was the mystery man simply
known as VOID that shocked the audience, by picking up the victory over Claxton
with a Top Rope Elbow Drop. And in a shocking turn of events, VOID would unmask
post match to reveal himself to be, none other than, “One Man” Mike Dell of all
people. Dell soaked up the adulation of the crowd as he earned an opportunity
to catapult himself up the ranks of Inspire Pro, advancing to next show’s main
event.
The Great Depression
w/ Penny Arcade def. Jeff Gant
Little was known about the man known only as The Great Depression
going into this event. And when he was finally revealed, not many knew what to
think. Flanked by Penny Arcade, the mysterious masked entity truly turned heads
in this match with Jeff Gant. With Gant’s injured ribs as a direct target, The
Great Depression made short work of the self proclaimed “Youngest Gun”, and
made the crowd witnesses to the destruction that he can cause.
4-Way Scramble Match
for the NWA Wrestling Revolution Grand Warrior Championship: Erick Shadows ©
def. Jodan, Downfall & Cherry Ramones
Four top names from the NWA Wrestling Revolution promotion
had the opportunity to showcase what they could do on a brand new stage, in
front of a brand new audience, and to the pleasant surprise of everyone in
attendance, they did not disappoint. With his “Grand Warrior Championship” up
for grabs, Erick Shadows had a tough test ahead of him, but even with the odds
against him, Shadows obtained victory and left Austin with both his title and
some brand new fans. But it seems as if everyone in this contest made an
impression, so who’s to say there won’t be more opportunities for them to come?
Chris Cross def.
Darren Dean
Two young up-and-comers from different parts of the nation
collided in a very technically sound battle, as the young but skilled Chris
Cross took on Davey Richards student & mentee, Darren Dean. The fresh faces
to the Austin, Texas impressed immensely, with Dean staying on top of Cross
with a series of kicks and wear down holds for the majority of the match. But
with a fire lit underneath him and a quick pin, Cross was able to put Dean’s
shoulders to the mat for a three count, giving him some momentum going forward
in Inspire Pro.
For A Spot In The
Three-Way Main Event Of The Next Show: JoJo Bravo def. “Untouchable” Alex
Reigns
Two competitors with very contrasting styles & attitudes
put on a clinic in the second match to determine spots for the main event of
next show. Reigns spent the match working both the back and arm of Bravo in an
attempt to ground this high flyer. But JoJo Bravo would not be denied and went
on to come back & defeat the man who claims to be “Untouchable”.
However, shockingly after the match an intruding Jordan
Jensen, who has had a documented history with Bravo, jumped JoJo. Most believed
that was a positive history, but Jensen had very cruel intentions in mind,
attempting to handcuff JoJo Bravo to the ring rope. Luckily, Commissioner Greg
Symonds stopped the incident from escalating and Jordan Jensen fled the
building. What was the reason for this attack and what else does Jensen have in
store?
For A Spot In The
Three-Way Main Event Of The Next Show: Bolt Brady def. “Absolute” Ricky Starks
by Disqualification
As our Inspire Pro CEO Justin Bissonnette was in the ring
thanking everyone who made the event possible, he was crudely interrupted by
Starks, who had the goal in mind not just to put the attention on him, but to
insinuate that Davey Vega did not deserve the opportunity he had in the main
event later in the evening. Vega did not take kindly to that, telling Starks
that if he thought he was better, he should prove it. Starks had just that
opportunity against one Bolt Brady, who wanted to gain a spot in next show’s
main event three way just as much as his counterpart. These two athletes hit
each other with everything they had, with no man able to put the other away.
Ricky’s frustration at this fact seemed to have gotten the best of him, as he
would not release an STF as Brady had his hand on the ropes, causing the
disqualification. Bolt Brady will continue his journey to the title, but it was
Starks who got the last word, clobbering Brady post match. The question is,
what does Ricky Starks’s future hold in Inspire?
“Unholy” Gregory
James def. “Dirty” Andy Dalton
Austin, Texas bore witness to a very different side to
Gregory James on Sunday. What James referred to as “Unholy” was much darker and
demented than days of old, but it was also more determined. He squared off with
the king of dirt, Andy Dalton, who quickly evoked a disdain from the Inspire
Pro audience. Both men zoned in for the kill and delivered some stiff shots and
kicks throughout. But in the end, James put a nail in Dalton’s coffin with a
Butterfly Neckbreaker. Is this but the start of a streak for the now
certifiably insane Gregory James?
Winner Advances To
The Inspire Pro Championship Match: Davey Vega def. “The Kentucky Gentleman”
Chuck Taylor & ACH
In the contest that everyone was waiting for, Taylor, Vega
and ACH tore the roof off of the Marchesa Theater with this spectacular
contest. All three men had something to prove over one another, and they
unleashed everything in their arsenal to show why they are one of the top
independent wrestlers on the scene today. ACH suffered a devastating
elimination thanks to the debuting “Kentucky Gentleman” and a handful of tights,
leaving it down to Vega and Taylor. And after a spirited contest, with a
counter from Taylor’s signature Awful Waffle into his signature V-8, Vega
achieved victory, not only furthering his journey to becoming the first Inspire
Pro champion, but getting a win over two men who Vega hopes to match in success
in a year or two. From the way it looks, Vega may do just that.
So things are set in place for September 1st, as
Mike Dell, JoJo Bravo and Bolt Brady face off in the main event on the road to
crown the first Inspire Pro Champion. Who will join Davey Vega in that final
three way? You’ll have to join us at the Marchesa Theater to find out!
