Opening Contest: Alpha Zo vs. LaBron Kozone

Big fan of both these guys. LaBron Kozone quickly gains the advantage with a headlock takeover but Alpha Zo works out of that pretty easily. They do an aggressive strike exchange ending with a big forearm from Kozone and a senton splash for two. Springboard elbow gets another two count. T-Bone suplex has Zo in trouble. Kozone throws some chops and sweeps the leg, but a senton misses this time. Zo hits a jumping kneestrike and follows with a DVD/neckbreaker onto the knee which I haven’t seen very often. Kozone comes back with a rolling forearm and release German suplex, but Zo hits his own and a flurry of strikes. Kozone pops right back up with an enzuigiri. Zo catches him with a Penta Driver for two. Kozone shakes off some chops and gives him a stacked powerbomb for a close two count. Ballgame is blocked by Zo and they duke it out, ending with Kozone hitting a loud Ballgame, but Zo gets his own. Sidewinder slam from Zo finishes this one for the big win. Really fun opener. ***½

Match Two: JT Thorne vs. 1 Called Manders

JT Thorne threw out an open challenge for a match and wound up with 1 Called Manders. He runs away on the outside but ends up baiting Manders into the ring getting a dragonscrew legwhip. Thorne works the left leg in the corner to maintain control. Manders fires back with an overhand chop and drops Thorne on the top rope to give himself time to recover. Corner clothesline and some loud chops are next. He looks for the lariat but his leg gives out. Gutwrench powerbomb does connect however for a two count. Another lariat attempt is stopped with a spinebuster by Thorne for two. Thorne puts on a single-leg crab, but Manders pushes him off with the good leg and drills him with a lariat. Another big one from Manders finishes Thorne. Solid, hard-hitting affair. **½

Match Three: West Coast Pro Golden Gate Championship – Andrew Cass (c) vs. Adam Brooks

Adam Brooks shakes off an arm ringer and picks the ankle of Andrew Cass. The champion briefly escapes but winds up back in a headlock. Brooks crushes him with a forearm to the jaw and hits a facewash in the corner. Cass catches him with a knee sending Brooks to the floor, and he follows with a springboard moonsault out there. 450 Splash but nobody home. Brooks kicks the champ in the head and suplexes him in the corner for a two count. Basement dropkick for another two. Flatliner into the turnbuckle and Brooks charges but right into a superkick. Tornado DDT by Cass gets two. The champion lands some high kicks and a meteora off the top but only for two. Cass again tries a 450 but hits knees this time. He quickly recovers, hitting a Last Shot to the back of the head to retain the title. **½

Match Four: Miko Alana vs. Aja Kong

Miko Alana bows and then immediately tries some forearms, which Aja Kong eats and then shoulderblocks Alana down. We head to the floor already for some brawling. Kong throws a chairshot out there (in front of the referee) and tosses Alana back in. She steps on the torso of Alana and puts on a chinlock. The crowd gets behind Alana as she fights out, but takes an open hand slap to get knocked down again. Alana tries some clotheslines to no effect, but a running corner clothesline does land finally knocking Kong down. Senton splash gets a two count. Alana can’t lift her, and Kong gets a clothesline instead. Alana avoids a senton and manages a Vader Bomb from the corner for two. She again tries for an Air Raid Crash but can’t get Kong off her feet. Running clothesline from Kong gets two. Belly to back suplex from Kong puts an end to this one.

Match Six: Senka Akatsuki vs. Mystery Opponent

And the mystery opponent is…CHRIS HERO. After the shock of Hero’s appearance subsides, they trade arm ringers. Senka Akatsuki tries to knock Hero down but cannot do it, and winds up taking a bicycle kick to the face. Hero tries a senton but Akatsuki gets the knees up and hits some corner clotheslines. That doesn’t last however with Hero getting a bodyslam and senton, but only for a one count. Powerbomb from Hero gets another one. Hero hits a forearm but Akatsuki reverses a suplex into her own but can only get two. Boston Crab but Hero kicks out of it and hits a short piledriver as the 5-minute time limit expires.

Since Hero is the matchmaker for West Coast Pro, he decides that this match can go another 5 minutes and hops back in the ring. Big elbow from Hero but Akatsuki comes back with a series of lariats to knock Hero down, as the crowd erupts, which gets two. Hero reverses a suplex into his own and hits a cradle powerbomb. Again Akatsuki kicks out at one. Hero smacks her and delivers a rolling elbow. He muscles her up to plant her with a tombstone piledriver for the win. Simple and effective from start to finish. ***¼

Match Seven: Adam Priest vs. Starboy Charlie

Adam Priest makes sure to slow the pace down to begin with some stalling. Starboy Charlie puts an end to that with a dive to the floor. Back in, Charlie hits a kneedrop and doublestomp for two. To the top rope where Priest gives Charlie a backbreaker across the buckle. Priest works on the back of Charlie, putting him in a Camel Clutch. Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker well executed by Priest gets two. Priest deadlift suplexes Charlie into the ring. Charlie swings wildly but gets poked in the eye, so he returns the favor. Priest catches him again in a single-leg crab this time. Charlie makes the ropes, but Priest remains on the attack with a back suplex. Charlie slips out of another tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and delivers an enzuigiri to even the score. Spinning heel kick by Charlie followed by a springboard dropkick. Sliced Bread is blocked with a shot to the lower back by Priest. Clothesline turns Charlie inside out and results in a two count. Single-leg crab transitioned into an STF by Priest. After that we head to the top, where Charlie gets the better of things but a Shooting Star Press misses. Sliced Bread does not however and a standing corkscrew moonsault gets two. Priest grabs the referee to avoid another Shooting Star, but Charlie hits a Pele kick. Priest goes low with the referee’s back turned, then hits a piledriver to steal the win. ***

Match Eight: West Coast Pro World Championship – Vinnie Massaro (c) vs. Thomas Shire

Power struggle initially as both guys are probably evenly matched in terms of strength. Thomas Shire gets a boot and shoulderblocks the champion down. Vinnie Massaro returns the favor taking Shire down and he rolls to the outside to recover. Massaro drags Shire down by the left arm and begins to inflict some punishment there. Shire shakes off the pain, giving Massaro a vertical suplex and some clubbing blows to the back. They fight over a suplex that neither can get, and Massaro winds up hitting a dropkick and elbowdrop for two. Vertical suplex from the champion gets two. To the corner, where Shire hits a diving shoulderblock and then a running high knee for two. Back suplex and enzuigiri, but both guys fire up and it’s a double clothesline putting both men down.

Snoring Elbow hits (times three) to give Massaro the win. **¼

Standoff at the outset and a test of strength. Mio Momono gets the advantage and hits a headscissor takeover and low dropkick. She ties up Johnnie Robbie in the ropes and tears at the champ’s nose.
