Attendance: 180-200
Ring Announcer: Chris Chaos
Referees: Sam Cino, Moe Mantha, Andrew Mollen & about a dozen other guys
Results credit: www.owie.ca
1) Dark Match: A Battle Royal with the final 2 competitors wrestling for a PWA Niagara contract. Came down to Ethan Page and Mike Rollins. Their match ended in a No Contest when Jessy Jones, Gordon Gustav, Eddie Osbourne and Eric Everlast rushed the ring and attacked them both.
Promo - Jessy Jones announced that Rip Impact had joined the Sports Generation. Jones told fans that Pepper Parks had been stripped of the PWA Niagara Championship. Jones called Ron Falco to he ring and declared him the #1 contender but he'd have to fight Notorious TID for the vacant title. TID also came to the ring. Suddenly Johnny Puma came out to the ring and began running his mouth about deserving a shot since he's the current NWA Empire Heavyweight champ. A 3 way brawl broke out and officials & wrestlers had to pull the 3 apart setting up a 3-Way main event for the PWA Niagara title
2) PWA Tag Team Championship
The Italianos (Primo Scordino & Tony "Stickball" Carbonie) with "The Bodyguard" Gary Gambino def Eric Everlast & Eddie Osbourne w/ Gordon Gustav

Krystal Banks def Deanna Conda, Jodi D'Milo, Synndy Synn & Sabrina Kyle
5) New Tradition Title Match
Special Guest Referee: Rip Impact
Gabe Saint def champion Kris "Rip Impact" White by DQ. Rip Impact began slugged White after the match but was attacked by Gordon Gustav & Jessy Jones. White nailed Impact with Sliced Bread and dumped a loaf of Wonder Bread on him.
Promo - Zakk Atticus & Krystal Banks came to the ring and Zakk (doing a hilarious Randy Savage imitation) ranted about "Dangerboy" Derek Wylde being a chicken. Jimmy "Jam" Olsen came to the ring and told Atticus that Wylde wanted him in a Dog Collar Match.
6) Zakk Atticus w/ Krystal Banks def Jimmy "Jam" Olsen
7) Pistol Pete Must Win or Be Fired Match:
"Too Sweet" Pistol Pete def Chris Cooper by DQ
"The Bodyguard" Gary Gambino came out to ringside to watch the match and was attacked after the bell by Ice and Cooper. The Italianos ran out to attack Ice & Cooper and the 4 brawled to the back. Pete asked Gambino if he would be his manager for his remaining days in the ring. Gambino said yes.
Jon Hintenberger's wife & sister came to the ring and delivered a heartfelt thank you to the fans & PWA Niagara for all their support. It was a VERY touching moment. All the winners of the raffle & 50/50 prizes gave their winnings to the cause as well.
8) PWA Niagara Champinship (Title vacant)
Ron Falco def Notorious TID and Johnny Puma by count-out to win the championship.
Falco called his kid into the ring to celebrate. GM Jessy Jones (who watched the bout from ringside with Gordon Gustav) declared that Johnny Puma was the new #1 contender and got a match for the title immediately. Puma grabbed the title belt and smashed Falco in the head, busting him wide open. Puma covered Falco and referee Moe Mantha delivered a fast 3 count and awarded the belt to Puma. Notorious TID entered the ring and demanded a title shot from Jones but the GM said no. TID knocked Jones to the mat and stood on his throat until he agreed to grant TID a title shot against Puma at the next show.
To conclude the show, all the wrestlers entered the ring for a final salute to the fans and Jon Hintenberger

Venue: Battleground Academy
Attendance: 30 - 40 (standing room only)
Ring Announcer: DJ Brently
Referees: She Nay Nay/ Johnny Lucious
Results credit: Peter Bisson
(1st round in tag tournament)
The team of Aftershock came into the ring demanding the reasoning behind this tag-team tournament, when they were supposedly the 'legitamate' tag-team champions. UWA General Manager, Donny Dangerous disputed thier claim, but decided to give them a 'bye' in the first round of the tag tournament.
1) Now Playing: Caster McFear & Max Alexander beat The Limestone City Wrecking Crew: C.J. Felony & Harley Davidson when Caster pinned Harley after delivering 'The Director's Cut'.
2) Team Player: Tyler Logan & J. Rennals beat The Sex Pistols: Chaz Lovely & Matt Grey when Logan pinned Matt after a hard kick to the face.
(singles non-tournament match)
3) The Prince Of Persia: Rahim Ali vs From 1986: Ryan Rush was an action packed match where 2 good guys (well Rahim more of a tweener, hey he's trying!) basically beat the crap out of each other, unfortunately ended in a double DQ after interference from Chaz Lovely.
4) The Hollywood Hunks: Deeno & Cheeky beat The Jim-Bobs: Leroy & Cletis when Cheeky fled the ring in fear of of Big Leroy, and Deeno snuck up behing and rolled him up into a pin.
(semi-finals in tag tournament)
5) The Hollywood Hunks: Deeno & Cheeky beat Aftershock: Damian & Drake Styles. It appeared The Hunks were about to be brutally squashed, but thanks to a couple of 'lights out tactics', UWA Owner Dave Dalton lured Drake out of the ring, The Hunks both piled on Damian, and well, maybe if Aftershock wasn't so rude with referee: She Nay Nay, she might not have counted this double-teamed pin.
6) Now Playing: Caster McFear & Max Alexander beat Team Player: Tyler Logan & J. Rennals when The Hunks brought a chair into the ring, Logan took the chair away, Max 'pretended' to be hit by the chair, and unfortunately, the team that was highly favoured by the crowd got disqualified.
(Main Event - Hard Core Match)
7) Virus defeated 'The Asian Nightmare' Kwan Chang.
Wow, I never quite saw Kwan as a 'Huge' wrestler, but compared to Virus, he looked like a monster! Virus however seemed quite prepared and successfully countered the size difference with speed, agility, and of course his amazing aerial skills. The question was whether Virus had the toughness to withstand Kwan's brutality as he showed absolutely no mercy against his much smaller opponent. Virus managed to survive the 3 kick combo, being bodyslammed on a ladder, and striked with Kwan's Kendo stick. Some amazing spots in this match such as Virus moonsaulting onto Kwan outside the ring, and some sort of spinover frog splash, but just as it appeared that Kwan's strength and brutality were winning over, Kwan made the mistake of pissing off special ref, Dave Dalton. The first Near Death Experience resulted in a very slow count. So Kwan delivered another that Virus was unable to kick out, so Dave appeared to have disqualified Kwan (for putting his hands on the ref) so Kwan spit at Dave which resulted in Dave putting Kwan out with a double underhook driver, slamming Virus on top of kwan, and counted the victory for Virus.

4) X Division Championship:
"Dangerboy" Derek Wylde def Pepper Parks to retain his title.
After the match, Jennifer Blake came to the ring. Wylde got on the mic and thanked Parks for the match & they hugged and a "Thank you Derek" chant started. Jennifer took the mic and thanked Derek on behalf of the fans, PWX and all the wrestlers. Blake asked Wylde if he would be the new commissioner of PWX Tillsonburg and he said yes. Blake then said she was taking the X Division title from him but on June 8th there would be a "Derek Wylde X Division Title Tournament" in his honor. Wylde got on the mic and began talking about the great wrestlers he'd trained and began to cry. (Which started a lot of other people bawling) Wylde pointed out his rookie student Tyler Tirva in the audience and had him stand so the people could see him. Wylde called Tirva "the future of wrestling" and asked PWX to give him "one more last match" on June 8th against Tirva. Derek was mobbed by fans when he finally left the ring.
5) Women's Championship
Champion, Haley Rogers retained her title by purposely being counted out during her match with "Girl Dynamite" Jennifer Blake.
Haley was backing up the aisle taunting Blake about how smart she was to get counted out when her path was blocked by Derek Wylde. Wylde told fans that Blake would get a rematch and to ensure Rogers wouldn't just take a walk to save her title again, she and Blake would be joined by a leather strap!
6) Pro Division Championship:
Cody Deaner retained his title with a DQ victory over "Big Rig" Brodie Lee.

1) Xtremo over Brian Fury - Awesome opener. Fury won me over, as I wasn't a big fan the last time I saw him. Xtremo is just Xtremo. A really solid all-rounder.
2) Rahim Ali over Eddie Edwards via Mirza Clutch (reverse gogoplata) - Eddie Edwards has a new fan up here in Ottawa, and this was Ali's best match ever. Just really solid technical work.
3) Flatliners over Super Smash Bros. and Team Player - For those of you who have never seen the Flatliners - wow. These guys are the best tag team in the Ontario scene. Easily. Good times, this match.
4) Twiggy over Shayne Hawke in a Bunkhouse Brawl - So much fun. They went all over the place. Twiggy was put through the merch table. and more.
5) Beef Wellington over Max Boyer - Beef was regular old fun guy Beef. Boyer was Boyer. Match was good fun.
6) Kevin Steen over Kobra Kai - Great match! I wasn't sure how they'd mesh, but they did well. Steen wants a piece of Von Payton.
7) Sexxxy Eddy over Jagged - Eddy brings girl into ring. Strips. Dry humps. Jagged enters, claims he could do that just as well. Swivels hips. Stomps girl's chest. Amazing.
8) Main Event - El Generico over Michael Von Payton - GREAT first encounter for these two. Generico gets the win, but MVP attacks him post match, teasing hitting Steen's package piledriver. Steen runs in for the save. EAGERLY anticipating their eventual match.
