Beyond Wrestling’s “Uncharted Territory” Season 2 Episode 8 live from the White Eagle in Worcester, Massachusetts took place on November 21st. Your commentary team are Paul Crockett and Sidney Bakabella. Your ring announcer is Rich Palladino.
Chuck O’Neil comes out to the usual crowd reaction, a ton of boos. Chris Dickinson runs out and takes the fight to O’Neil. They brawl on the outside. Back in the ring, the two men trade chops. O’Neil then goes after Dickinson’s left arm. Dickinson comes back with a DVD. He then takes the Pazuzu knee pad off of O’Neil. Larry Legend comes out and is on the ring apron. He steals the knee pad from Dickinson. The distraction allows O’Neil to lock in a rear naked choke to win the match. Pinkie Sanchez comes out and eats a Michinoku Driver for his trouble. Larry announces O’Neil as the winner of the match.
Bear Country has the clear size advantage going into this match. The Sea Stars start off hot, hitting stereo dives to the outside. Delmi Exo gets her feet up during an attempted elevator drop. Sea Stars stay on top of their opponents with a bunch of double team maneuvers. Bear Country attempt the elevator drop once again but Bear Boulder is pulled into the corner post by Team Tremendous. Exo takes advantage and is able to roll up Bronson for the win.
Another match with a huge size difference with Josh Briggs taking on Tony Deppen. Briggs is coming into this match with a different attitude, as he needs to start gaining some momentum in Beyond Wrestling. Deppen takes out the knee of Briggs cutting the big man down. When Briggs comes back with back breakers, he does one onto the damaged knee.
Briggs ends up on the outside as Deppen goes for his signature trust fall. Deppen is caught and Briggs hits him with the Go To Hell. Somehow Deppen recovers quickly and hits a tope con hilo on his opponent. Deppen brings the fight back inside the ring. An elbow to the back of the head is only able to get a nearfall. Briggs comes back with a big boot and a chokeslam but only gets a nearfall out of it. Deppen comes back with a series of big moves but is unable to put the big man away. Briggs is able to come back with a Chokebomb for the win.
Ava Everett starts off the match and is able to hit Alex Reynolds with a chokeslam. The momentum doesn’t stay on her side for long as her opponents cut her off from her corner. She tries to fight back but is stopped each time. A sunset flip from Ava ends up pulling down the trunks of Reynolds. Ava makes the tag as Reynolds continues to wrestle the match with his ass out. Greene and the Platinum Hunnies attempt to make a comeback but Reynolds pulls out something out of his trunks and knocks out Angel Sinclair with it. This picks up the victory.
Deana Rae is interviewing the challenger going into the Discovery Gaunlet, Facade. He says that he’s left his mark all over the world. It’s been almost 10 years since he’s been inside a Beyond Wrestling ring.
The match starts off quick as Gary Jay hits five consecutive dives to the outside onto Facade. Facade comes back with a springboard somersault plancha. Back inside the ring he walks the ropes and hits a coast to coast on Jay. He hits a moonsault fall away slam off the middle rope for only a nearfall. Jay eventually comes back with a spinning flatliner and a double stomp to the back of the head of Facade. This is followed by a rolling elbow for the win.
The match starts off with both teams brawling on the outside. Dan Barry hits an asai moonsault onto his opponents. Inside the ring Team Tremendous single out Thomas Santell. Eventually Santell is able to make the tag to Nick Gage. Gage comes in the ring fired up. He hits spinebusters on both members of Team Tremendous. Team Tremendous stop the momentum of Gage, and goes to work on him. This is until Gage spikes Bill Carr with a DDT. Gage makes the tag. Santell hits a fisherman suplex on Carr but Barry pulls the referee out of the ring. Santell locks in a sugar free hold and Barry breaks it up. Team Tremendous look to hit the doomsday sliced bread when Bear Country comes out. This distraction allows Gage to knock Barry off the top rope onto the ring apron, while Santell rolls up Carr for the victory.
Nick Gage gets on the microphone an announces that Nerder Death Kill are joining forces with Bear Country in the 5-on-5 Elimination Match taking place on Thanksgiving day.
John Silver starts off the match by putting his hands into Orange Cassidy’s pockets. Later into the match Cassidy seems to have fallen asleep. He may have played possum as he pulls Silver over for a crucifix pin. This only gets a two count. Silver seems frustrated and walks to the back. Silver comes back as Banana John, wearing a denim vest and an Orange Cassidy shirt. The two men trade some vicious shots in the middle of the ring. The standoff causes both men to take their sunglasses off.
Cassidy puts his hands in his pants and Silver nails him with a lariat. The vest and shirt are off as Silver now means business. He lays kicks into the chest of Cassidy. Cassidy tries to come back with a swinging DDT but Silver stops it and turns it into a brainbuster. Cassidy eventually comes out of nowhere with a superman punch. He follows this up with a dive to the outside. Cassidy throws his opponent back inside the ring where he hits a huge crossbody off the top rope. This is followed up with a swinging DDT which only gets a nearfall. Silver attempts the spindoctor but that’s countered into a head scissors. Cassidy follows up with a Michinoku Driver for only a two count.
Cassidy goes for the orange juice but Silver grabs it and chugs it. This makes Orange angry as he hits a superkick and destroyer. Silver comes back with a shotgun dropkick and the spindoctor. Cassidy kicks out and Silver immediately locks in a crossface submission. Cassidy is able to get to the ropes. He then surprises Silver with a superkick and a magistral cradle which puts away Silver. Awesome match between the two.
