00:30Greetings Grapple fans and welcome to Blizzard Brawl 3 right here at the
00:37Falconwood Community Center. I'm Rob Ringside joined at the commentary station
00:40here by Clark Andrews and Clark what a card we have for the fans here today.
00:44You're absolutely right Rob Ringside, it is the first up on the UKPW Tour of 24. It's gonna be bigger than ever. Even the ring's bigger Rob Ringside.
00:55Absolutely Clark Andrews we've got a 20 footer right here in the middle of the
00:58Falconwood Community Center but we still have a capacity crowd here who cannot
01:03wait to get started. It may be copies of gold but the crowd is hot and coming out right now it's the Big Steppers who are about to take a big step into the UKPW Tag Team Division.
01:14You're right about that Clark Andrews, what a contest we've got to kick off Blizzard Brawl today. The Big Steppers are gonna have their work cut out for them against a relatively new team but before we get to that let's
01:27send over to Kimiak here who caught up with Big Steppers earlier today. Grapple fans please welcome my guest at this time Big Steppers. Big Steppers welcome to UKPW and welcome to your UKPW debut. How are you feeling?
01:40I'm feeling great Kim, I'm feeling alive, I'm feeling like the Big Steppers are
01:45ready to step big today in Falconwood. As ever Harry, as ever and it's been a long time coming our debut in UKPW so we finally got the message and we knew we was gonna be stepping big in
01:57Falconwood for UKPW. How do you feel Harry?
02:00Bro it feels so good you know we've done it here, we've done it there but the one place everybody wanted to see if we could do it was UKPW and now that we have Jay Alexander and Delphine two wrestlers that have been proving their thumbo, I don't know about dominance but they're trying to prove their dominance now.
02:19Their adequacy, do you know what I'm saying? I don't know if they're on the level of the Big Steppers but that's what we're here to find out and you know what we don't underestimate anybody so with their adequacies or their inadequacies we're gonna see if they've got what it takes to get to the big leagues like that one, that was wild.
02:41We got the word, adequacies, that's the word, we got the word.
02:45Well Big Steppers good luck, back to you at ringside.
03:11Welcome to the ring, first from New York City United States, weighing in at 13 stone 3 pounds, this is Delphine.
03:27And his tag team partner from Chexco South Wales on the Brixton South London, weighing 14 stone, Jay Alexander.
03:41And here is why Clark Andrews, Big Steppers have their work cut out for them because make no mistake this is a relatively new tag team in Jay Alexander and Delphine but they are both accomplished singles wrestlers in their own right.
03:55They are exactly at rubber ringside, both men debuting in 2022, they have not the best win-loss record but they did face each other in 2023 at Parkwood Pandemonium and they agreed that something had to change at TLS3 and this is that change.
04:12They have teamed up and they are ready to take on the Big Steppers in this tag team contest.
04:18Absolutely right, Clark Andrews and their first match as a team was actually a victory over Liam Judd and Double Action Sonny Jackson at UKPW Showcase.
04:26So this is only their second bout as a team but again despite their win-loss record, both exceptional wrestlers, we're in for something special.
04:36Absolutely, what a way to kick off Big April, let's see what happens when these two teams meet.
04:43Starting off with some attempts at showmanship but Delphine having gnarled it and we're off.
04:54A lock up, Delphine on the receiving end of a headlock.
05:07That's a strong headlock he's got in there already.
05:11Absolutely.
05:12Oh and a nice take down there.
05:14Down Delphine on his back, not looking to stay there for long.
05:17But so far the hold stays intact.
05:21Delphine shows extra special agility to try and get his leg around the head.
05:27He's back up on his feet, oh but now he's got him in an arm lock.
05:32Delphine making it to the ropes, referee Tristan Stone asserting authority on this one.
05:37That's what I think Tristan Stone is going to have to do in this match, he's going to have to assert his authority really, really early in this.
05:44Because as we know Delphine is quite a tricky customer I think and he does like to bend the rules a little bit.
05:50That is a fair assessment by Delphine Joyce as Delphine gets a headlock of his own.
05:56Only looking to whip up the crowd here so that he can get the tag in.
06:01Whip off the ropes.
06:03Delphine very smart, telegraphed it, catches himself.
06:07There's that momentum.
06:09Smart indeed.
06:13And I've got to say here Rob Finger, look at the size of this ring.
06:17This is a brand new ring that we've got for the show today.
06:20It's 20 by 24.
06:23It's huge and they're going to make full use of this ring today I feel.
06:27That's just the amount of time it takes for them to cross this ring compared to the size of this ring.
06:33Oh Delphine just landed on his chin there.
06:35Oh and a nice beautiful drop kick there.
06:38Lovely stuff.
06:41Delphine looking to get the tag to Jay.
06:43Here we go Jay Alexander, he's coming, let's see what he's got.
06:47Straight through, ooh forearm into that corner and the tag is made and here comes Curran.
06:53They use the double team manoeuvre from European uppercuts.
06:57Oh!
07:00Oh a very novel caparicious triple.
07:04Not the best start here for Jay Alexander.
07:08First cover is only a one.
07:09It is but it's still an early pinfall.
07:11What's Jay Alexander got to do to get himself into this match Rob?
07:15That's a good question.
07:16I think we know Jay Alexander is an exceptional technical wrestler.
07:20I think he just needs to regain that momentum.
07:24Just get on the front foot a little bit.
07:27Speaking of front feet.
07:29Absolutely.
07:30And a cover.
07:31Curran makes the tag.
07:33Two.
07:36Jay just getting worked there.
07:39That's a quick tag.
07:40Curran back in.
07:44Nice shot there.
07:45Just nails Jay in the midsection.
07:50Look at that.
07:51Big step is just quick.
07:52Tags one after the other.
07:53Just isolating Jay Alexander.
07:54Not letting him get any momentum builds.
07:56Like I say, he just needs a win.
07:58He'll be able to build on that.
08:00But they're being very smart.
08:02Isolating him from Delphine.
08:04Working him out of that corner.
08:05It's like you said.
08:06Oh but look at that.
08:07A big hit there by Jay Alexander.
08:09And is he going to, no he's not going to go for the tag.
08:11He's going to go into the corner.
08:13European uppercuts.
08:14Get up, get up.
08:15Come on Harry.
08:17Come on Harry.
08:19There you go Harry.
08:21Oh.
08:22Big forearm.
08:23That is a big forearm.
08:24Look at how light.
08:26And look at Delphine.
08:27Oh Delphine trying to hold him in the corner there.
08:29He takes a nice elbow to the face.
08:31Extra second is all that's needed to turn the tide.
08:35Oh.
08:36Except for cross body.
08:37But Jay Alexander, the strength.
08:39Oh.
08:40And the body slam.
08:42Huge slam and a cover.
08:43One, two and oh.
08:45Nice kick out there.
08:46That's two.
08:47That's a decision for the tag.
08:49But it's way away at the moment as you rightly point out.
08:51This ring is big.
08:53It is.
08:54I had the opportunity to be in this ring a little bit earlier.
08:56But it took me a whole 15 minutes just to walk from one side to the other side.
09:02That's how big it is.
09:03Absolutely.
09:06I don't know how fast you were walking that time.
09:08But let's not talk about that as Delphine makes the tag.
09:13Oh beautiful suplex there by Delphine.
09:15Big suplex.
09:16And Delphine is letting this crowd know all about it.
09:25Crowd letting us know what they think of Delphine.
09:27It ain't good.
09:28It's not good stuff.
09:34Although we do have the one or two Delphine fans here as well.
09:38Yes indeed.
09:40Sometimes people root for another guy.
09:42That's true.
09:44Delphine and Jay doing some isolation on their own now.
09:47Quick tags.
09:48Quick tags.
09:49And I think that's what they're going to need to do.
09:51If they want to be one of the big tag teams here.
09:53They're going to have to get used to working with each other.
09:56They're going to have to make those quick tags.
09:57And that's exactly what they're doing here on the wrong side.
10:00Absolutely.
10:07Trying to get to that tag.
10:08But Delphine just taunting Curran in the corner there.
10:13And now just locking in.
10:14Looks like a submission hold.
10:17But I think it was just an attempt to just change the direction.
10:21Yes.
10:22That's exactly right.
10:23You see the smartness of Delphine as he's reaching for the tag.
10:27Flips his opponent around so that he can't make that tag to his partner.
10:31Absolutely.
10:32Again to come back to the situation with Jay and Delphine.
10:36As singles competitors they've had mixed results.
10:39But Delphine is being a hair's breadth away from being a WWE champion.
10:42Just going against that three count.
10:44Just not getting it.
10:45And then nevertheless making an impressive shot at himself.
10:47Cover.
10:48Two.
10:50Another two count there from Jay Alexander.
10:52A little bit of frustration.
10:53Telling that.
10:56Now trying to let go of Harrell.
10:58Getting Harrell back into this contest.
11:02Jay just whips him to the corner.
11:03Oh with a boot to the face.
11:06Delphine gets one of his own.
11:10Goes for another cross body.
11:12But again Delphine with the strength to catch him and flip him up.
11:15Look at that.
11:17That's a big, big shot.
11:20Just marks that face.
11:22Is it over?
11:23One, two and...
11:24Another kick out there.
11:26Harry showing some fighting spirit here.
11:29But how much can he take?
11:32And look at the front and the back of the head there by Jay Alexander.
11:36It has to be said that since this team has been formed,
11:38Jay's had a little bit of extra aggression in style.
11:42Yeah, I think he's...
11:44Oh!
11:45Big chop.
11:46Oh!
11:47And he's on a bigger chop.
11:49Answering with one of his own.
11:51Jay just...
11:53Let the current know...
11:54What he thinks of him.
11:55Just to say not much.
11:56I don't know.
11:57Do you know what?
11:58I like this new streak of Jay Alexander.
12:00They needed a change and I think this is the right change for Jay Alexander.
12:05One could certainly argue the change has been a positive one in terms of dominance.
12:09Absolutely.
12:11Once again, nobody questioning the technique.
12:13Nobody questioning the style.
12:15Nobody questioning the technique.
12:17Nobody questioning the style.
12:19Nobody questioning the technique.
12:21Absolutely.
12:22Once again, nobody questioning the technical skill of Jay and Delphine.
12:26As individuals or as a team.
12:27But there's something about this dynamic.
12:30Oh!
12:31Oh!
12:32Just like that.
12:33The momentum shifts.
12:35That's a huge close line there from Harry.
12:39The current on the other side of the ring.
12:41Just absolutely beside himself.
12:43He wants that title so desperately.
12:45He's kicked the covers off the turnbuckles.
12:47Jay is going.
12:48Jay is going for the title.
12:51Here we go.
12:52Delphine.
12:53Oh!
12:54And look at that.
12:55Another big shot.
12:56Another big shot.
12:57And a bird.
12:58The current.
12:59The fresh man.
13:00Tad El Perth.
13:02Huge.
13:03Oh!
13:04Huge spine buster.
13:07Delphine making his way.
13:09Trying to get back into this contest.
13:12Ducks through.
13:14Oh!
13:16And in 30.
13:18One.
13:19Two.
13:20And.
13:21Oh!
13:22Probably the closest we've got so far to the three.
13:25The current definitely taking advantage of being the fresher man here.
13:33And this crowd giving a little extra oomph.
13:36Absolutely.
13:37The crowd firmly behind.
13:38The big step is here.
13:39Oh!
13:40Telegraphed by Delphine again.
13:43Oh!
13:44Kick into the corner of the ring.
13:47Measuring up.
13:49Oh!
13:50Speedy measuring up.
13:51Look at that forearm.
13:52Sends back Delphine down.
13:53Back up.
13:54And another tag to Harry.
13:59Big step is.
14:00Oh!
14:01Huge double team maneuver.
14:03Could that be it?
14:04One.
14:05Two.
14:06And Jay breaks the tag.
14:08That must have been two and nine tenths.
14:11Just in the nick of time there.
14:12Isolates Curran away from him.
14:16Oh!
14:17Issa forearm for it.
14:18Finds his way to the outside.
14:20Going for another round with the same double team maneuver.
14:23Big step is.
14:25Double team finish.
14:27Crowd wants it one more time.
14:28They want more.
14:29They want more.
14:32Delphine.
14:35Measuring up.
14:37He's going up.
14:38What comes up.
14:39Must come up.
14:40Oh!
14:41Delphine telegraphs.
14:43Reverses in.
14:45Oh!
14:46What comes up.
14:47Must come down.
14:49Drop lift and just plant it to the floor.
14:51Once again measuring up.
14:53Oh!
14:54Big jumping knee from Jay Alexander.
14:57Interrupts that offense.
15:00Oh!
15:01The double team powerbomb.
15:02One.
15:03Two.
15:04And.
15:05Breaks the count at two.
15:06Harry getting there again.
15:07And it's unreal.
15:08Got a lot of close.
15:10Oh!
15:11Big hit to the back.
15:12Felt that one myself.
15:16Just flips over.
15:17Delphine with the tag to Jay.
15:19Flips it over.
15:20Jay just to get the tag.
15:22As they measure up for what looks like another double team of their own.
15:26Oh!
15:27Current sends Delphine into Jay.
15:30Comes up for the tag.
15:31Harry's in.
15:32Scales that top rope.
15:34Harry's going up top.
15:35Oh!
15:36Goes for the double cross body.
15:37Goes down!
15:40Fired up.
15:45Forearm to Jay.
15:47Oh!
15:48Forearm to Delphine.
15:49Apologies.
15:50Chop to Jay.
15:51Just swapping moves.
15:52Forearm.
15:53Chop.
15:54Forearm.
15:55And.
15:56Oh!
15:57Super kick from Delphine.
15:58Delphine and Jay.
16:02And a double team maneuver.
16:04Oh!
16:05Wow!
16:06Look at that delivery.
16:07One.
16:08Two.
16:09Three.
16:10It's over.
16:11Jay and Delphine pick up another victory.
16:12Two in a row.
16:16And the winner is Delphine and Jay Alexander.
16:23Look at that.
16:24Take nothing away from Big Steppers, Preble fans.
16:27But Jay and Delphine pick up the victory.
16:30Absolutely.
16:31Big Steppers, they wanted to step up in the tag team division.
16:35But it's actually Jay and Delphine that have taken that big step.
16:39What does this mean for the tag team division?
16:41Well, what does it mean?
16:42Indeed.
16:43CPF are going to defend their titles later on in the program against the Rebellion.
16:49Could this be a team that's going to be in the line for a challenge down the road?
16:54Who knows.
16:55They've certainly come to a hot start.
16:57Looks like Delphine's got something to say.
17:08That is the second tag match between myself and this big, tall, beautiful man, Jay Alexander.
17:17And that's the second win for us.
17:22I don't need your applause.
17:24But you deserve it.
17:26But what did we deserve?
17:28Tag team titles.
17:30Are you taking those tag team titles?
17:32I am.
17:34Let me tell you now.
17:36There is nobody that can stop us.
17:44Well, there may be somebody who has something to say about that car, Canteries.
17:47I recognize that music.
17:48Do you know what time it is?
17:50Well, bring sides.
17:53Oh, sulky doggy.
17:57Whoop, whoop, here he comes.
18:04Whoop, whoop, here he comes.
18:10It's Prince Dean!
18:15It sure is, Clark Andrews.
18:17Bubble Machine and all, Prince Dean is here.
18:24The crowd loves a bit of Prince Dean.
18:26Don't we all?
18:33Whoop, whoop, here he comes.
18:39Whoop, whoop, here he comes.
18:41And presumably Prince Dean has something to say on the matter of the tag team division.
18:46I think so.
18:47I think Prince Dean, he always has something to say.
18:49We kind of understand what it is he is saying.
18:52But you're right there, Rob.
18:53He always has something to say.
18:55You're right about that, Clark Andrews.
18:57They are usually words I've heard.
19:04Prince Dean is making full use of this ring.
19:07He is dancing around the crowd here.
19:09I'm loving this.
19:10Absolutely.
19:11Bubbles are flying everywhere.
19:13It's chaos.
19:14Oh, what's Prince Dean got to say?
19:16Falcon.
19:17Falcon won!
19:25Now, due to a clerical error, I am not booked to wrestle today.
19:34I don't have an agreement any more.
19:38But we've got the dispatcher and Admiral James to look forward to.
19:42So I'm not allowed to be entertained.
19:47Now, I'm not here to speak about the tag titles.
19:53I'm here to speak about my friend,
19:57Jay Alexander.
19:59This is an intervention!
20:03It's an intervention.
20:07Now, often, two men venture in, me and my gorgeous son,
20:11and I always have him in the tag.
20:13But when he's out playing with his friends,
20:16me and Jay Alexander tag.
20:202023.
20:23Harkwood. March.
20:25You and I tag together.
20:28And we're victorious!
20:31That's right.
20:34And again, Harkwood.
20:36Hand of mother freedom.
20:38UKVW.
20:40In October, we tagged.
20:43And we were victorious!
20:47Very true.
20:48But, who was in both of those matches?
20:52Who was the common denominator of who we beat in those matches?
21:00Dolphine.
21:04His name is Dolphine, Brooksteen.
21:06Dolphine! Dolphine! Dolphine!
21:12And then, the Prime Minister,
21:15it's me and you, and my son,
21:18to represent all of the UK
21:21when we face Team USA.
21:23Jack Thornton and Sir Martin Luther King
21:25genuinely don't know their names.
21:28But, UKVW was handing out free bookings
21:32because they lost all their others.
21:34And so, he wasn't victorious.
21:38Knock, knock.
21:43He wasn't victorious.
21:44But what you've done that day,
21:46after the match,
21:48you got in my son's face,
21:51you shoved the beautiful currency.
21:54He certainly did.
21:57But, in a swing of thinking,
22:00of heartwood,
22:02you said to me backstage,
22:04you said,
22:05Prince Dean,
22:07you said,
22:08you often say,
22:10rest in God's, be with me.
22:12But, if things are looking tough out there, Prince,
22:16will you have my back?
22:18And I did have your back.
22:20What I said,
22:22was rest in God's,
22:24be with Jack.
22:26And then he won't get a win,
22:28so he came through, didn't he?
22:29Yes, he came through.
22:31That is true.
22:32So,
22:34it's either that,
22:36or something else.
22:38Do you really want to team with this?
22:41Do you really want to team with...
22:45Do you really want to tag with her?
22:48No.
22:49No, you don't.
22:54Delphine will stab us all in the back one day.
22:58Tell me.
23:01I said, rest in God's.
23:04Let me have it.
23:05Let me have it.
23:06Oh, Cody's making his way to the ring.
23:08This is going to heat up.
23:10This is going to heat up.
23:11Cody's getting right into Delphine's face here.
23:16Jane.
23:19Good morning, everybody.
23:20Hi.
23:21Jane, come on.
23:24Not here.
23:25Not here.
23:30Come on.
23:33Jane, look at her.
23:35Are the crowd saying ooh, or are they saying boo?
23:38I'm saying who wants?
23:42Come on.
23:44Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
23:45I think there's only one way to resolve this.
23:49So, March 24th,
23:51we're going to be using cantilevering.
24:10So, we're going to be using cantilevering downwards spiral.
24:12So, now we have
24:15Jane's over to Delphine.
24:19And we'll have the two-man day trip.
24:22One-on-one.
24:24How's that?
24:25How's that?
24:26We're not the end team.
24:28Number one contendership match
24:31for the UKPW Tag Team title.
24:35Wow.
24:36There you go.
24:37Jay Alexander, Delphine,
24:39Prince, Dean, Cody,
24:41the two-man day trip,
24:42UKPW number one contendership match
24:46in Canterbury, March 24th.
24:48Rob Ringside, what do you make of that?
24:50How about that, Clark Andrews?
24:51A number one contendership match.
24:53Just like that,
24:54Jay and Delphine have found their way into contention.
24:57But to get to that point,
24:58they have to beat the two-man day trip,
25:00which is no small task indeed.
25:03Absolutely not, Rob.
25:07Right, ladies and gentlemen,
25:08the public fans,
25:09moving on to see Mike Kyle Williams.
25:14This match is scheduled for one fall.
25:17One fall.
25:18With a 15-minute time limit.
25:2115 minutes.
25:22Time limit.
25:24Already in the ring,
25:25accompanied by his father, Prince Dean.
25:28He's one half of the two-man day trip.
25:32The only father of some team in UKPW.
25:37From South London, weighing 12 stone, 12 pounds,
25:42this is Tony Nairn!
25:51And introducing his opponent.
26:01Ah, here he comes.
26:04The man who has not defeated in singles competition
26:09since October 2022.
26:12It's The Law, Lewis Basham.
26:15This is The Law, indeed.
26:18From London, weighing 16 stone, 11 pounds,
26:25he is the harbinger of justice.
26:30He is The Law, Lewis Basham!
26:40Let's just have a quick recap here, Rob, on Lewis Basham.
26:43As I just mentioned,
26:44he has not been defeated in singles competition
26:47since October 2022,
26:49when he lost to The Nail.
26:52Yes, indeed, Clark Andrews,
26:53and what a 2023 those two individuals had.
26:57All the way through the year,
26:58they were trying to one-up each other,
27:00gain psychological advantages,
27:03costing each other matches,
27:05damaging each other tremendously during that attempt.
27:08I mean, who could forget,
27:10this man in the ring,
27:13Paul Nelson slammed The Nail through a door.
27:18That's right, that's right, Rob.
27:21But do not forget that The Nail also cost Basham,
27:24the UKPW title, a TLS pound,
27:27bombing him through a door.
27:29Absolutely.
27:30They just seem to love,
27:31they love doors and putting each other through doors.
27:34They do.
27:35But that was, their blow-off match happened,
27:37which showcased before the end of last year,
27:40and The Law was victorious in a street fight,
27:43despite, to his credit, not using many weapons.
27:46That's true.
27:47What a street fight that was there on ringside.
27:51Let's see what's in store for Basham in 2024.
27:55Yes, indeed.
27:56So, referee Carl Williams
27:57looking to get proceedings underway here.
28:00Oh, no, is that a referee?
28:02The crowd pointing out that the hammer is smaller.
28:05That is a gavel, folks.
28:06That is a gavel.
28:07Technically, it doesn't count.
28:13What a contest this should be, Rob.
28:15Yes, it's a lot.
28:16This is a big, big, big ask for Cody here.
28:18Yes, indeed.
28:19100% Clark Gagner.
28:21This is one of those speed and agility
28:24versus just raw power discussions.
28:27Lewis Basham, of course.
28:30And the bell rings and Cody's right in there with a drop kick.
28:33That's right, the speed and agility.
28:35As you just said, Rob,
28:36he's just going straight in there,
28:38trying to get that early advantage on Lewis Basham.
28:41Very smart move,
28:42just robbing him of the ability to use that power.
28:45Just throws him out of the turnbuckle.
28:47Flips him to the outside.
28:49Just the strength, just effortless.
28:52Cody looking to just hit him with a flurry of blows.
28:55And he flips over.
28:57Impressive athleticism from Cody.
28:59Landing on his feet.
29:00Just ducks through the clothesline.
29:02Tries to whip Basham.
29:03Ah, doesn't go well.
29:05Ah, but the drop kick.
29:06That did go well, though, Rob.
29:08Basham just looking to try and regain his momentum.
29:10He's managed to get trapped on that middle rope.
29:14Cody looks to take advantage.
29:16Wow!
29:17Just over the top rope.
29:18Another round.
29:19Early advantage here for Cody Salahou.
29:22Cody Salahou.
29:27Cody just early.
29:29He's having a little bit of trouble.
29:31He's early in this contest.
29:32Just ducking that close.
29:34Cody Wise just hitting Basham with some chops.
29:37Measuring him up for a suplex, perhaps?
29:40Oh!
29:41Look at that.
29:42Wow!
29:43That is a suplex.
29:45That hurt me and I didn't receive it.
29:48I was just close enough.
29:49Wow!
29:51Basham now just looking to...
29:53Oh!
29:54Just power.
29:55Absolutely.
29:56That's the abuse, Cody.
29:57Prince Dean doesn't like what he's seeing.
29:59That's what father would...
30:00Oh!
30:01That's how quick things can turn here when you're in the ring with Louis Basham.
30:06Absolutely.
30:07One move and it is...
30:09It's not quite over yet.
30:11No, it's not quite cooked, but they've been doing that.
30:14Exactly.
30:17Cody looking to assert his dominance.
30:20Oh!
30:21Didn't go well.
30:22That was a big close line from Basham.
30:24Look at that.
30:25We talk about dominance.
30:27Basham is the dominant one here in the early going.
30:30And look at those big shots to the head of Cody Salah.
30:33Basham just...
30:35Carl Williams is crazy though.
30:36As a referee, he has the right to call the action and to make sure everything is being done the right way.
30:42I think Louis Basham would enjoy that.
30:44Goes for the cross body, but look at that power.
30:49Oh!
30:51Huge fall away slam.
30:53There was clearance between the two of them.
30:55I saw air.
30:56I'll tell you what.
30:57I'm glad that we've got a bigger ring here because Cody Salah who could have ended up in row Z there.
31:02Absolutely.
31:03That 20-foot ring probably saved Cody Salah whose life, it's fair to say.
31:06So it's already paid for itself.
31:09Oh!
31:17Basham.
31:18Basham getting riled up by this capacity crowd here in Falcon Woods.
31:21He certainly is.
31:22Just go in and just once again just dominate Cody.
31:26Lift him up.
31:27Oh!
31:28Onto the hardest part of the ring.
31:30And you can just see Cody is in a world of hurt right now.
31:34Absolutely.
31:35Look at that.
31:36Basham just stalking around the ring.
31:41Five count for referee Carl Williams.
31:44Crowds a ball in Basham.
31:46That's a dominant Basham here.
31:49He is all over Cody in the early goings of this match.
31:54Yes, indeed.
31:59Cody rolls in before the ten.
32:01Basham doesn't like that too much, but I think he's going to go with it.
32:04He is the law.
32:05He does.
32:06He respects the law.
32:07He does.
32:08He does respect the law as a professional wrestler.
32:10The crowd, they're not fans of Basham.
32:12Cody just puts distance between him and Basham.
32:15While Basham has the upper hand looking to measure up.
32:18He's trying to end this early.
32:20It's bad.
32:21Oh, beautiful.
32:23Reversed it to an arm drag.
32:25Oh!
32:26And a headbutt from Cody.
32:28Look at that.
32:29Basham just floored.
32:30But that hurt Cody just as much.
32:33Now the referee begins a double ten count.
32:38One thing you can say about Cody is he's often got some innovative offense.
32:43I think catches him by surprise.
32:45He certainly does.
32:46But you know what I think, Rob?
32:48I think without Basham, he does respect the laws of professional wrestling.
32:51But I think Cody might have to bend a few of those rules here if he wants to get one over a person today.
32:56Look at that.
32:57Just uses the momentum of Basham against him.
33:00Just measures that croissant out of the corner.
33:03Building up a little head of steam here.
33:05A little bit of extra jumping that one.
33:08Trying to put some extra venom on it.
33:12Well, firmly behind Cody Salahou here.
33:14Absolutely.
33:16Basham grips him.
33:18Cody jumps around.
33:19Oh!
33:20Look at that!
33:22Wow!
33:24That's got to be it!
33:26Unbelievable!
33:27That kick out there by Basham.
33:29Oh, credit to Basham for kicking out from that one.
33:32What impact and what elevation.
33:34He's simply flying into the sky.
33:36Basham's not a small child.
33:37Absolutely.
33:38Respect to Cody Salahou here.
33:40He is giving Basham the fight of his life right now.
33:44Absolutely.
33:45Look at this.
33:48He's measuring up.
33:50Off the ropes.
33:51Tries for the croissant.
33:52Basham just lifts him up.
33:55What comes up must come down!
33:57Wow!
34:00Just that civil matter.
34:03Goes for the cover.
34:04This could do it.
34:06Kicks out from Cody.
34:08You've got to respect the heart of Cody Salahou here.
34:10Basham has ended matches with that move before, but not this time.
34:15At least not yet.
34:16The crowd looking to get Cody back into this one.
34:18But right now, Basham has the upper hand.
34:20Looking to measure up for that Paul Nelson slam again.
34:25He measures up.
34:26Cody reverses through.
34:27Victory roll.
34:28Oh!
34:29Doesn't stick to the pin, but a double stomp.
34:33Just looking to drive the air out of Basham's lungs.
34:35It doesn't matter how strong you are.
34:36Without air in your lungs, you're not going to get very far.
34:39Measures up for a big suplex.
34:40Oh!
34:41Except it's a knee to the face.
34:43Once again, that innovative offense from Cody.
34:45And Louis Basham is now having to recuperate outside the ring.
34:48Exactly.
34:49It's Basham.
34:50That's rare that that happens.
34:52That Basham is the one outside.
34:55Absolutely.
34:56Cody's rolled up to his feet.
34:58Cody's starting to believe perhaps that this could actually go his way.
35:01He could be the one to end this undefeated streak of Louis Basham's.
35:05What a way to start 2024 that would be.
35:08Absolutely.
35:13Cody breaks the count.
35:15Resets.
35:16Basham looking to recuperate still.
35:19Hard to imagine that Basham would have had enough of a tank to get in off the floor after that hit.
35:23Exactly.
35:24Maybe that's a bit of an experience either.
35:26Cody has been resting for a little while now.
35:28But if he had just stayed in that ring then he could have had a tank out there, Rob.
35:32Absolutely.
35:33It doesn't matter how experienced you are.
35:34Sometimes you just make mistakes.
35:36That's human nature.
35:37They are still human even if there is questions about their lives.
35:41Basham taking out Dean.
35:43Wow.
35:44Cody must be thanking his lucky stars that he was out of the way on that one.
35:48Although, oh!
35:49Just driving Basham into that wall.
35:52As Cody just...
35:57UNSUCCESSFUL
35:59UNSUCCESSFUL
36:02UNSUCCESSFUL
36:05Live it was, the fall of his father from state.
36:08Cody now checking out to the right.
36:10Couch answer for Cody again.
36:16Louis Basham measuring up.
36:17On the outside.
36:18Oh!
36:19The fall now's onto the hard part of the ring.
36:20Isn't that it?
36:21That is twice now that Cody's met the hard part of the ring.
36:24Basham just stalking Cody now, look at this, this is just, up he goes, that's got to do it.
36:33Has to be.
36:34Basham with the cover.
36:351, 2, 3, goodnight Cody Solohus.
36:36There you have it.
36:37There you have it.
36:38Lewis Basham continues his uppercut history, picks up the victory.
36:39All credit to Cody Solohus.
36:40Ladies and gentlemen, the winner, Lewis Basham.
36:41Lewis Basham with another victory, he's starting off 2024 the same way he ended 2023, with
36:58a victory here on ringside.
36:59You're absolutely right, Clark Andrews.
37:00Let's take another look at that finish, that huge full Nelson slam, just driving Cody's
37:06back and shoulders into the canvas.
37:07Absolutely, there on ringside, look as he lifts him up.
37:09And he's down.
37:101, 2, 3, goodnight, Cody Solohus.
37:11And Grapple fans, let's head over to Kimia Kiss, who had a chance to catch up with Vicky
37:27Two Thumbs before this match.
37:32Grapple fans, please welcome my guest at this time, Vicky Two Thumbs.
37:36Vicky, today you face Nina Samuels, how are you feeling about your match?
37:39It's an absolute honour to be here at Falconwood, an absolute honour.
37:43I can't tell you how many times I've sat at the back of that hall waiting for my opportunity,
37:47hoping one day I'll be here at Falconwood.
37:50And tonight, I'm ready to seize my opportunity, I'm ready to show everyone my self-belief
37:55and what I can do with my tenacious energy.
37:57I believe wholeheartedly I can beat Nina Samuels and I've got this.
38:02Watch me seize this moment.
38:05We're rooting for you, Vicky.
38:06Back to you at ringside.
38:11She's not just tenacious, Rob, she's always tenacious.
38:13Absolutely.
38:18Vicky Two Thumbs giving thumbs up to the crowd and they are giving thumbs up right back to Vicky Two Thumbs.
38:36We're telling you next year, she is the star of the Nina Samuels show.
38:46This is Nina Samuels.
38:55What a match we've got in store, Clark Andrews.
38:57Nina Samuels taking on Vicky Two Thumbs.
39:00This is going to be fantastic.
39:02You're absolutely right there, Rob.
39:03You can see that right there, Rob, ringside.
39:04Nina Samuels making her way to the ring.
39:06Do you know what?
39:07We have some great shows on here at KMTV.
39:09We have Kent Pro Wrestling, we have Based in Kent, but now it's time for the best show,
39:13the Nina Samuels show.
39:33Nina Samuels, of course, with an impressive record so far in UKPW.
39:37Absolutely right there, Rob, ringside.
39:39I've had the pleasure of seeing Nina Samuels a few times throughout her career and she
39:44brings on quite the show.
39:45Absolutely.
39:47But of course, she is up against a seasoned UKPW performer with a few wins under her belt
39:52herself, Vicky Two Thumbs.
39:53Absolutely right there, Rob.
39:55Let's see what happens.
39:56Tristan Stone, he's just checking to make sure that they're all ready to go.
39:59And here we go.
40:02And here we go.
40:07A lovely hook up there by Vicky Two Thumbs and Nina Samuels.
40:10She's looking to get that early momentum.
40:12Nina Samuels is holding Vicky Two Thumbs in the corner there.
40:15Making liberal use of that five count.
40:17Referee Tristan Stone has to use.
40:20Vicky Two Thumbs right back in it.
40:22Always tenacious.
40:23Absolutely.
40:25Everything she does is always tenacious.
40:26She's going to get this crowd always tenacious, I feel.
40:28I think that's going to help a lot.
40:30Nina Samuels, obviously, there's a little bit of a size advantage.
40:33A certain amount of power advantage.
40:35Vicky Two Thumbs has the crowd on her side, very clearly.
40:37Oh, a wrench to the arm is going to hurt nonetheless.
40:40Absolutely.
40:41Vicky Two Thumbs giving Two Thumbs up to Nina Samuels there.
40:43Nina Samuels did not appreciate that one bit.
40:46Maybe she's more of an index finger person.
40:47Maybe.
40:48Yeah, ring finger, little finger.
40:49There's loads so many good ones.
40:52Just looking to isolate that arm of Vicky Two Thumbs.
40:54Probably not just for the thumbs, but that probably contributes.
40:57Exactly.
41:00Just once again, just wrenching that arm.
41:02Vicky Two Thumbs rolling through.
41:04Impressive athleticism, as always.
41:06Nina Samuels just working that momentum.
41:13The crowd, they're trying to get up.
41:14Vicky Two Thumbs here, trying to get her back into that match.
41:17Nina Samuels goes right back to that arm.
41:28Vicky Two Thumbs.
41:30Oh, flips.
41:31Nina Samuels, very impressive indeed.
41:33Look at that from Vicky Two Thumbs, and she gives another thumbs up to Nina Samuels.
41:36And on she goes.
41:37Splash into the corner.
41:39Cross on a body splash.
41:41Rolls into a snap there.
41:45Caused a leg drop and a cover.
41:47First of the contest, two.
41:50Vicky Two Thumbs using Vicky Two Legs there on that leg drop.
41:53Absolutely.
41:54Double leg leg drop.
41:55Just calling to that corner.
41:56There's going to be some movement out of that corner.
41:58Climbing up.
41:59Oh, Nina telegraphs.
42:00Very smart.
42:02And look at that.
42:03Just stomping away at Vicky Two Thumbs.
42:05The fans are not appreciating.
42:08No.
42:09The fans are not fans of the Nina Samuels show here.
42:11Indeed.
42:13And a big suplex.
42:14Big suplex.
42:15And rolling closer into the cover.
42:17Two count.
42:18Vicky with the shoulder up.
42:19And just into it.
42:20Wrenching that neck and head.
42:24Crowd here firmly behind Vicky Two Thumbs.
42:27And let's just recap here for a second.
42:29This is her debut here in Falconwood.
42:31Oh.
42:38Vicky just powers up.
42:39Into the drive over.
42:40Into the midsection.
42:41And Nina Samuels trying to break that headlock.
42:43And she does.
42:44Whips off the ropes.
42:45Oh.
42:46Oh.
42:47Oh.
42:48Oh.
42:49A big clothesline.
42:50A big clothesline.
42:51One, two.
42:52Kick out.
42:53I believe that was a tenacious kick out there by Vicky Two Thumbs.
42:56They're all tenacious.
42:57They're all tenacious.
42:58Because she's always tenacious.
42:59Exactly.
43:00That's right.
43:01Big slap to the face there by Nina Samuels.
43:02Fanaticity does come with that, doesn't it?
43:04Trappers as well.
43:06Referee Tristan Stone just asserting authority on this one.
43:09Looking to break that hold before five.
43:10Absolutely.
43:11Oh, look at that stretching.
43:13Just wrenching those arms again.
43:15Doing that right in front of the cameras as well.
43:17And.
43:18Oh.
43:19Wow.
43:20Oh, my goodness.
43:21That's got to do it.
43:22Oh, two.
43:23Two.
43:24How did Two Thumbs kick out of that?
43:25That was a huge impact across that back and shoulders and arms.
43:28And Vicky's feeling it even now.
43:30This may be the first show of the year.
43:32Trying to put Two Thumbs up.
43:33But Nina Samuels is putting right to that with some stiff kicks to the back.
43:35I can guarantee you that is going to be on the Nina Samuels show highlight reel of 2024.
43:41And with good reason, I bet.
43:44Just impressive flexibility from Nina Samuels.
43:47Just driving that foot into the face.
43:50Looks through to the corner.
43:52Ducks underneath.
43:53Rolls up.
43:54One, two, and kick out.
43:55Almost a tenacious score.
43:57Oh.
43:58Those kicks from Nina Samuels.
44:00That's some vicious kicks she's doing today.
44:02There is some venom to them, no doubt.
44:04Oh, now.
44:05Speaking of.
44:06Oh.
44:07Just driving the arms up with the hair pinned down.
44:10And a kick out from Vicky as her shoulders were to the mat.
44:13Absolutely.
44:14Did you see the skills there from Nina Samuels?
44:16She's quite right there.
44:17Standing on the hair of Vicky Two Thumbs.
44:19Just to get that little bit more momentum.
44:21Just a little bit more venom in that pull.
44:22Ah, speaking of pulling.
44:23Just looking to wrench that arm where it shouldn't go.
44:27Oh, and then just driving the wind out with Two Thumbs.
44:30Oh.
44:31Impressive flip over.
44:32Goes for a cover.
44:33One, two, and rope break.
44:35Yeah, she broke the ropes.
44:36Broke with the ropes.
44:37And she had her shoulders up.
44:38Double whammy.
44:39Double whammy.
44:40Two kick outs.
44:41Two kick outs indeed there on one side.
44:44Crowd firmly behind the always tenacious Two Thumbs here.
44:47Absolutely.
44:48But, oh.
44:49Just driven the head into the turnbuckle.
44:51Across that 20 foot ring.
44:53Absolutely.
44:54This ring is huge.
44:59Looking to measure up.
45:00Oh.
45:01Straight through.
45:02That turnbuckle just, that post driven into the shoulder of Nina Samuels.
45:06Could this be the momentum Vicky's looking for?
45:08The back elbow.
45:10Karate kid kick.
45:11Can you call it that?
45:12I don't even know.
45:13I would call it a wrestling kick here.
45:15I've done it now.
45:16Yeah, this is it.
45:17This is a professional wrestling match after all.
45:19Oh, I've been calling it like it's snooker.
45:21My apologies.
45:23I believe professional karate is on Thursdays.
45:25Yes.
45:27And just whips through.
45:28Using that extra momentum from the top rope to just flip through to an arm drag.
45:31Nina Samuels probably doesn't know where she is right now.
45:33It's foul play just in case anybody was keeping score.
45:37Vicky Two Thumbs off the ropes.
45:39Oh, takes the leg out from underneath.
45:41Using that, using the momentum against her.
45:44Oh.
45:45Just a scissor kick to the back of the head.
45:47What a kick out there by Nina Samuels.
45:49Vicky Two Thumbs.
45:50Vicky Two Thumbs.
45:51She's so tenacious.
45:52She took home, she did identity theft.
45:53I apologise.
45:54My apologies to Air Grapple fans.
45:56It's because I'm just so excited about it.
45:58I mean look at this crowd here that we've got in Falcon Hill today.
46:00This is our first show here at UKPW Tour 24.
46:03Vicky carrying through.
46:05Another arm drag across the ring.
46:07Nina Samuels' arm is no doubt smarting from that post shot.
46:09And then the chin to go with it.
46:11Oh.
46:12Driven to the chin again.
46:13Another kick to the midsection for Vicky.
46:14Looking to build some head esteem.
46:16Oh.
46:17Floats over into a blockbuster.
46:19Blockbuster net breakout.
46:21Cover.
46:22And a two.
46:23Now that was a kick out there by Nina Samuels.
46:25It is.
46:26Yeah, now we've got it.
46:27We've got it back.
46:28It's alright.
46:29Always professional here at UKPW.
46:30We are, of course, United Kingdom professional wrestling.
46:32Absolutely.
46:33Two thumbs.
46:34Measuring up for the most electrifying thumbs in wrestling.
46:37Oh.
46:38Goes for the senton.
46:39Nina Samuels telegraphs.
46:40Rolls out of the way.
46:41Maybe she saw the thumbs.
46:43Just measuring up.
46:45Lifts her.
46:46Oh.
46:47Just that knee driven to the face.
46:49And that's got to do it.
46:50And three.
46:53Just like that.
46:54Nina Samuels picking up the victory here on the Nina Samuels show.
46:59Here is your winner, Nina Samuels.
47:04And there you have it, grapple fans.
47:06Nina Samuels picks up a hard-fought victory against the always tenacious and very spirited
47:10efforts of Vicky Two Thumbs.
47:12Mark Andrews, what do you make of that finish?
47:14Well, let me tell you something now.
47:16Vicky Two Thumbs, you're quite right there on.
47:18She is always tenacious, but there is no show quite like the Nina Samuels show.
47:22Yes, indeed.
47:23That knee to the face just driving all impacts right to the forehead of Vicky Two Thumbs.
47:28That is enough to get a three count on this occasion.
47:30All credit to Vicky Two Thumbs for the Nina Samuels show.
47:33It's just been picked up for another season.
47:58.
