The announcers are Jordan Castle and Brian Zane.

Opening Contest: Lykos Gym vs. Sinner & Saint

S&S are fresh off breaking away from Alan Angels at Roseland XI. Lykos and Icarus start this one. Quickly all four men are in for some pushing and shoving. Lykos Gym double teams Williams sending him outside and take over on Icarus. Icarus with a flying forearm as Williams returns with some chops. Clothesline from Icarus gets two. Lykos II gets the tag and runs wild on S&S. Tornado DDT on Williams but Icarus gets the tag and S&S take over. They can’t get Ode to the Fallen as Lykos avoids it and gets a backstabber on Icarus. Spanish Fly/penalty kick combo gets two on Icarus. Lykos Gym goes for the brainbuster but cannot connect. Tope suicida by Williams on Lykos. Ode to the Fallen hits on Lykos II for the win.  **¾

Match Two: Galeno Del Mal, Dr. Wagner Jr & Arez vs. Ishin, Kota Minoura & Shun Skywalker

Arez and Skywalker begin. Some pinfall sequences getting two counts followed by Ishin and Minoura jumping in illegally to take over. More triple teaming by the heels with Arez as the primary target. Arez eventually fights back and lands a Pele kick with Galeno and Wagner Jr. Getting back in and returning the favor with double teaming. Big splash from Galeno gets two on Skywalker. Inverted suplex by Del Mal on Skywalker for another two. Ishin and Minoura run in to break the momentum. Arez comes back landing a penalty kick and Asai moonsault to the floor. Skywalker gets a tope suicida followed by Ishin getting a cannonball tope to the floor. Galeno Del Mal finishes that sequence with a somersault tope to the floor wiping everyone out. This guy rules. Big lariat flips Ishin inside out and the Galeno Special finishes things. Started a bit slow and finished hot.  ***

Match Three: Jordan Cruz vs. Bodhi Young Prodigy 

I feel like this may not go well for Young Prodigy. Cruz charges while Bodhi dodges him. Top rope crossbody is caught by Cruz but Bodhi gets a dropkick. Cruz gets a kneestrike and slingshot Falcon Arrow. Big lariat sends BYP inside out. To the top where Bodhi pushes Cruz off and lands the crossbody this time. Enzuigiri and Pele kick, followed by a rana gets two. BYP with a 450 splash which is caught with a choke by Cruz. Top rope superplex from Cruz and shining wizard, but Jordan picks him up after the two count. No More Sorrow hits for the win. I do enjoy a good Jordan Cruz beatdown.  **

Match Four: Minoru Suzuki vs. Adam Priest 

Suzuki’s entrance never gets old. Priest tries a chop to no effect and bails before Suzuki can try his own chops. Suzuki meets him on the floor eventually to get those chops in the crowd. Armbar is clamped on back inside followed by a single leg crab. Crossface is next but Priest makes the ropes. Suzuki runs into a boot from Priest and gets chop blocked, then put in a figure-four leglock. After a break, Priest rakes the eyes but Suzuki comes back with a penalty kick. They exchange strikes which Suzuki gets the better of. Priest manages to get a DDT for two and Suzuki comes back with a sleeper and Gotch-style piledriver for the win. More or less an extended squash for Suzuki.  **¼

Match Five: Kevin Blackwood vs. Leon Slater 

They have a smooth exchange of waistlocks and then tie up. Blackwood suckers Slater in for a push kick but Slater comes back with a handspring back elbow and big boot to the floor. Slater follows with a pescado outside and gets two back in. Guillotine legdrop but a Blue Thunder Bomb is reversed and Blackwood nails a double footstomp. Back suplex on the apron which gets two on Slater. Kneelifts and another back suplex from Blackwood. Slater avoids another knee and gets a standing side kick. Big boot and a big top rope crossbody from Slater gets two. Handspring is caught by Blackwood into a German suplex, and he follows with a DVD for two in a slick sequence. Kevin heads up top and Slater gets a high enzuigiri and meets Blackwood up there. Nothing lands from there, and eventually Slater gets a standing Blue Thunder Bomb. 450 splash misses and Blackwood gets a Helluva kick. Double footstomp is stopped with a jumping side kick and Slater goes up. Swanton 450 hits knees, and this time Blackwood is able to hit the double footstomp for the win. As smooth as you would expect from these two.  ***¾

Match Six: Drexl, Matt Brannigan, Amira and Jaiden vs. Vaughn Vertigo, Xia Brookside, Evan Rivers and Tate Mayfairs 

Jaiden begins with Vertigo. Low dropkick and enzuigiri from Jaiden and he tags Drexl. Brookside briefly tags in but freaks out as Drexl’s mannerisms. So Mayfairs is forced to face Drexl and doesn’t fair too well. Rivers and Brannigan face off next followed by Xia and Amira. Delayed vertical suplex from Amira and all eight competitors are in for a brawl. It ends with Brookside stomping the fingers of Amira allowing Mayfairs to land a kick to the back. Jaiden tags in but is quickly beat down and covered for two. Drexl tags in to turn the tide and all the faces get Butt Chin Music on the heels. Brannigan goes up top to maybe do a flip but gets pushed off by Vertigo. Amira gets caught in the tree of woe and Mayfairs gets a coast to coast on her. Rivers lands a big moonsault on Amira for the win.  **½

Match Seven: Michael Oku vs. El Phantasmo 

Amira Blair is at ringside with Oku. They do a reversal sequence to start and ELP clotheslines Oku to the floor, then gets a pescado. Irish whip sends Oku hard into the buckle. Oku reverses another Irish whip and gets a springboard dropkick. Tornado DDT gets two. Springboard moonsault misses and ELP gets one of his own. Oku with a kneestrike, gets his moonsault and locks in a single leg crab. ELP makes the ropes and rolls outside, where Oku follows with a Fosbury Flop. They battle on the top rope where ELP gets a superplex and then a Burning Hammer for two. Superkick is caught by Oku but he runs into a lariat for two. Oku reverses the CR2 for a two count. Superkick lands this time for ELP and we get a two count. CR2 hits this time for a very close two count. ELP hits a top rope big splash for the victory.  ***½

Match Eight: Nicole Matthews & Kylie Rae vs. The IInspiration 

Lee and Matthews begin and exchange shoulderblocks, then make tags. La Majestral gets two for McKay. Lee with some armdrags on Kylie, sending her over to tag Matthews. The IInspiration double team Kylie Rae, but she’s able to fight back and take over on McKay. IInspiration quickly turn the tide however and get a dual standing 10 count punch in the corners. Matthews grabs the leg of McKay and goes to work on the left knee. After a short heat segment, McKay make the hot tag to Lee. Tornado DDT on Matthews gets two. Blind tag made by Kylie who hits a superkick on Lee for two. Rollup gets two but the IInspiration get a tandem powerbomb on Kylie for the win. A fun return for the IInspiration.  **½

Main Event: Prestige World Championship (No DQ) – Alan Angels (c) vs. Calvin Tankman 

Angels attacks during Tankman’s entrance by tossing a garbage can at his back. Standing enzuigiri from the champion, but Tankman manages a pounce as they head outside. After some chops, Angels goes for a chair to even things, only to have it taken by Tankman and receives some shots to the back. Tankman grabs a door from under the ring, but Angels his a tope suicida into it knocking Tank down. The champion puts a garbage can on the head of Tankman and drills him with a chair for two. Tankman shrugs off some chops and avoids a chairshot. Tankman then hits a brainbuster through a chair for only two. Back elbow is caught by Angels and transitioned into an armbar. Halo Stretch is applied with the chain wrapped around the neck of Tankman. Tank powers out and gets a pop-up back elbow for two. Tankman sets up four chairs and lays a door across them. He heads to the top rope and Angels climbs as well trying a top rope rana. That’s blocked, and Tankman gets an avalanche powerbomb through the door and chairs but only gets two. He sets up the chairs again and heads up, but Jordan Cruz runs in and powerbombs Tankman through the chairs. Cruz holds up the chair allowing Angels to hit the Halo Strike to the face of Tankman for the win.  ***½ Solid match with an ending I was not expecting. 

Final Thoughts: Vegas baby. Prestige puts on another good show, this time during Mania week. Several good to very good matches, with Blackwood vs. Slater being my personal favorite on the night. Also, I’m sure William Quintana isn’t reading this, but I’m kindly requesting a Galeno Del Mal vs. Calvin Tankman match soon.
