The event was held at Marian Catholic High School in a mostly full gym. This was the first time for the promotion on Fite TV and it was one of the biggest independent events of the year in the U.S. Guessing the live stream was dark because the gym was dimly lit.<\/p>\n<p>(1) Pre-show match: Danhausen defeated Reilly Maguire.\u00a0Danhausen prevailed over a student of Michael Elgin\u2019s. A comedy match.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Templario beat Jake Lander.\u00a0A bonus match that went about 15 minutes. Templario, who was great, won with a face first reverse duplex off the second rope. Crowd was into this. Lander also trains at Elgin\u2019s school in St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0Savanna Stone beat Holidead.\u00a0Basic women\u2019s match. Stone won in about nine minutes with a spear.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Ace Austin beat Blake Christian and Carlos Romo to retain the\u00a0Impact X Division Title.\u00a0Austin did a promo before the match poking fun at Walter for getting the NXT UK belt stolen in Chicago to explain why he did not have his belt with him. Crowd chanted \u201cYou forgot it!\u201d In response. Romo is from White Wolf Wrestling in Spain. They took turns resting on the outside at the start before Romo won a slap battle. Christian hit a 619 then did not catch Romo on a dive outside. Austin hit a Fosbury flop. At the end, each got to hit a finisher off the top, and bottom the third guy broke up a pin attempt. Austin retained over Christian in about 11 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The Ego Robert Anthony (w\/Frank the Clown) defeated Jake Atlas.\u00a0Atlas is about to head to NXT. Frank the Clown did a pre-match promo, telling the crowd it was the holiday season and he had a gift for the crowd &#8211; himself. His gift to Jake Atlas was his best friend, Robert \u201cEgo\u201d Anthony, who came out to Queen\u2019s \u201cCan\u2019t Stop Me Now.&#8221;\u00a0Early on, Anthony stalled, the crowd chanted \u201cYou\u2019re a baby!\u201d and Atlas got in the fetal position in the corner. Nice touch. Atlas called for quiet before chopping Anthony loudly a couple times. He missed a third and Anthony took over. Atlas hit a flipping top rope DDT but the clown put Anthony\u2019s foot on the rope. In the end, the clown grabbed Atlas\u2019 leg while the ref was tending to Anthony, who rolled up Atlas for the win. It went about 11 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Michael Elgin beat Sam Adonis.\u00a0Sam told the crowd to shut up about his brother (WWE announcer Corey Graves). Elgin won a chop battle. He turned 33 today, and the crowd wished him a happy one. Elgin told the ringside fans he \u201creally liked chops\u201d before pasting Adonis, who soon after hit a tope. Elgin barely beat the 10-count back in. Adonis with a Samoan drop for two. He got caught up top and spit at Elgin, who chopped him into next week and then hit a superplex for a near fall. Then a falcon arrow for two. Elgin with a sit down power bomb for two. Elgin with a Samoan drop on the apron. Adonis missed a flip dive off the top, Elgin hit a lariat and last ride sit down power bomb for two. A double lariat and the bell rang. A 20-minute draw. Fans booed that. Match felt a little long. Afterward, Elgin said his relationship with Chicago has been a little rocky, but tonight was his birthday, and he\u2019ll be damned if he\u2019s gonna go to a draw. He called for five more minutes and the crowd chanted for it. Adonis declined and said they could do a no-time-limit rematch in Feb. 15 at Warrior Wrestling 8. Elgin brought in a little kid and told him a secret. He didn\u2019t want to lose on his birthday. Elgin rolled up the ref and the kid counted three.<\/p>\n<p>(7)\u00a0Black Taurus defeated Drago and Aerostar and Rey Horus and El Gringo Loco.\u00a0Billed as a \u201cfive-way Lucha scramble.\u201d Loco, who appears on MLW, is also a local. Non-stop action as you would expect. Horus dove over the top rope and hit a rana outside. Taurus hit the pop up Samoan drop on Horus like Jacob Fatu does. Loco dove over the top onto everyone but Horus as they made the local guy look good. Taurus and Aerostar spit at each other. Taurus and Loco notched a spot near the finish, which was Taurus hitting a spinning slam on Loco for the win in nine minutes. They bumped fists and posed for pictures after the well-received match. A few fans threw money in the ring.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2797780641\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Kurt Angle made an appearance and was greeted with the \u201cYou suck\u201d chant. He noted John Cena\u2019s first match was against him in Chicago. He mentioned he took on Randy Orton (and Rey Mysterio) at WrestleMania 22 here as well. This was short.<\/p>\n<p>Intermission time. Ospreay and El Phantasmo had the longest picture lines. Announcer mentioned Elgin, Pillman and others would be at an after party at a nearby Buffalo Wild Wings.<\/p>\n<p>(8) Lance Archer defeated Brian Pillman Jr.\u00a0New Japan&#8217;s U.S. Champ had a tune-up match before he takes on AEW&#8217;s Jon Moxley at Wrestle Kingdom on Jan. 4. Archer took a lot of the match and no-sold Pillman\u2019s chops. Archer hit the EBD claw to win in about 12 minutes. Fans really into it when they went to the near falls.<\/p>\n<p>(9) Minoru Suzuki beat &#8220;Filthy&#8221; Tom Lawlor.\u00a0Lawlor came out wearing a yellow vest to a New Kids on the Block song doing waving his arm. Suzuki got the biggest pop so far, with a good portion of the crowd here to scream \u201cKaze ni Nare.\u201d Mat wrestling at first, followed by outside brawling and chop\/strike battle. Suzuki got the better of the exchange. They tried to choke each other out and reversed each other. Suzuki hit the Gotch piledriver about 14 minutes in for the win. Afterward, he left all the fans attempting high-fives hanging. On his way out, he teased putting a move on the kid who counted Elgin\u2019s pin on the ref earlier in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>(10) Brian Cage defeated El Phantasmo to retain the\u00a0Warrior Wrestling Championship. Phantasmo is one half of the New Japan junior tag champs. El-P took a couple hats off of fans who tried to too sweet him and tossed the hats into the crowd. He grabbed the mic from the ring announcer and said \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting a long, long time to say this: C.M. Punk sucks.\u201d He also said Colt Cabana sucked, Chicago deep dish pizza sucked and the Cubs sucked. The last one got cheers because the event was in White Sox territory. Cage clotheslined him for his troubles.\u00a0They brawled in the crowd. Cage kicked El-P, who had a plastic trash can over his head. El-P took over with a dive through the ropes onto Cage. El-P did his rope walk spot. A speed vs. power match. El-P got a handful of tights for two and somehow got Cage up for the airplane spin. Cage hit a buckle bomb and back breaker and ref counted to three, but it wasn\u2019t the finish. Oops. Cage suplexed El-P back into the ring from the second rope. El-P hit a destroyer that Cage no sold, hit him with a big lariat for a spin bump, then hit his finisher for the win in about 17 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>(11) Chaos (Will Ospreay &amp; Rocky Romero &amp; Amazing Red) defeated The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier &amp; Zachary Wentz &amp; Trey Miguel).\u00a0The main event of the evening pitted the New Japan faction against The Impact team. Rocky and Wentz started off with some comedy. Red and Xavier were next. They were super fast. Ospreay really into the match on the apron. He got the tag amid soccer chants of his name. Most sustained heat of the night was in this match, and we&#8217;re four hours in. Miguel got tied to the tree of woe and Chaos each slide kicked him.\u00a0The Rascalz got heat on Rocky, who hit a double rana and hot tagged Red. Ospreay hit a standing twisting moonsault for two, then Pip Pip Cheerio. Ospreay went for an Os cutter but was pushed over the top rope instead.\u00a0A series of dives to the outside, topped by a Red monkey flip of a guy off the top to the outside, landing on the group. Ospreay got the Storm Breaker on Xavier for the win in 24 minutes. Both teams got on their knees and hugged after the match. Ospreay did the show-ending speech, singing \u201cSweet Home Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They announced a Feb. 15 return date.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3574429461\"><div id=\"pwtor-1146810898\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WARRIOR WRESTLING DECEMBER 13, 2019 CHICAGO HEIGHTS, ILL.
