For the first time ever Wrestling Revolver walked with Elijah. The nomading minstrel wasn’t the only former WWE superstar though to debut at tonight’s WhataShow. Former Maximum Male Model, Mansoor, also wrestled his first match for the promotion taking on AEW’s “Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith.
The Grizzled Young Veterans successfully defended their newly-won Wrestling Revolver World Tag Team Championships outsmarting the team of MonsterSauce (Lance Archer & Alex Zayne).
Alex Shelley took on three challengers to retain the Revolver World Championship. He defeated Alan Angels, JD Griffey and Exodus Prime in the main event of the evening.
Wrestling Revolver WhataShow Results
Chris Bey versus Lio Rush
A great match-up of two of the most agile wrestlers in the ring today. The crowd is split evenly in their support. Bey puts up his knees blocking Rush Hour. He rolls up Lio for the win. Rush and Bey share a “too sweet” after the match.
Winner: Chris Bey
Matthew Palmer versus VertVixen
Palmer is accompanied by Alex Shelly, the Revolver World Champion. Palmer is wearing a throwback ‘No MA’AM’ t-shirt worn by Al Bundy in Married with Children. Vert not only chops him over the ropes to the floor but over the guardrail into the front row. Vert goes for the Pedigree but Shelly grabs her leg. Vert tells Palmer to “Suck it!” and finally lands the Pedigree. Shelley puts Palmer’s leg on the ropes breaking the count. Shelley slides his championship belt into the ring. Palmer clocks Vert in the head with it. He is disqualified.
Winner: VertVixen
An angry Sami Callihan arrives on the scene. He doesn’t like how things went down. He demands a new match between the two.
Matthew Palmer versus VertVixen
Vert slams Palmer off the top rope pinning him with a crossbody.
Winner: VertVixen
RoH Women’s Champion and Palmer’s wife, Athena, storms down to the ring.
She yells: You put YOUR hands on MY man?
She attacks Vert. Vert drops her with a Pedigree.
Brick Savage versus Jake Something
The Unit has paid for Something’s services, apparently. Phil Stamper escorts Something to the ring. A battle of the bulls between two powerhouses. Savage gets powerbombed between two chairs but kicks out. Something retrieves a door from under the ring. Savage ends the tug of war over the door by punching his fist through it. Something is chokeslammed through the door but kicks out. Something low-blows Savage pinning him with his Into the Void slam. Something wants nothing to so with Stamper as they head to the back victorious.
Winner: Jake Something
Mike “Speedball” Bailey versus Elijah
Elijah looks the same as he did in WWE. He starts out the match running across the ring and kicking Bailey out of his boots and one-arm slamming him across the ring. Speedball dives out of the ring at Elijah. Elijah catches him and then slamming him into the guardrail.
Someone yells at Elijah: “Thank you for NOT singing tonight!”. Funny that.
Elijah kicks out of Speedball’s Ultimate Weapon. Speedball tries a shooting star press. Elijah puts up his knees. He gets a two count. His spinning slam gets the same result. Speedball pins him with a small package.
Elijah holds up Speedball’s hand in victory then pulls a Paul Orndorff clotheslining him. He stomps on Speedball before hurling him out of the ring like a bag of laundry.
Winner: Mike “Speedball” Bailey
Los Desperados (Gringo Loco and Arez) versus The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) – Lucha Street Fight
The Rascalz put Arez on the guardrail and drop kick a steel chair into his face. Miguel hits Arez in the face with a fan’s replica belt. Arez gets DDTed on a concession stand table by Miguel. The table doesn’t break. Arez piledrives Miguel on a table. The Rascalz pin Arez with a double stomp from the top rope and a slam through a door set across two chairs.
Winners: The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz)
Mansoor versus “Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith
Mansoor his hilarious during this match. It is odd that WWE never capitalized on that with him. Mansoor’s gimmick is that he is hero for the common man. He even asks fans to hold up the autograph pictures he has signed for them. A shoulder tackle from Keith knocks the crap out of Mansoor. Keith retrieves one of the autographed pictures ripping it into pieces right in front of Mansoor’s face. He also rakes one of them over Mansoor’s forehead. Keith pins Mansoor with a Tiger Driver.
Winner: “Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith
Masha Slamovich versus Marina Shafir
A hard-hitting, MMA style match with lots of counters, submissions, kicks, punches and strikes. Marina is her usual sloppy self. They both connect with roundhouse kicks. Both are knocked out. The referee calls the match. The fans boo. Slamovich demands another five more minutes. Shafir says: “F–k no!” and leaves the ring.
Winner: No Contest
There was a delay during the show and the broadcast on Triller/Fite cut to a static even title screen. Wrestling Revolver promoter, owner Sami Callihan explained the situation:
Sorry for the delay in the show.
We had a fan have a medical emergency in the crowd. Huge thanks to all the fans and staff for taking care of a serious situation.
Said fan is on his way to the ER and said to be in good condition.#RevolverWHAT@PWRevolver
