Wilde and Aleki trapped Taylor between them, hitting headbutt after headbutt. Taylor powdered out to the floor. Aleki tossed Wilde to the floor. They all battled around ringside and all the way to the bar. Wilde had the bartender give him some drinks. That was funny. Wilde led a toast and they kept brawling after drinking. They battled back to the ring, where Taylor worked over Wilde with right hands and placed him on the top.
Wilde fought off Taylor with headbutts, sending him to the mat below. He lifted him up for a gut wrench suplex, dancing while holding him. Aleki set up a table. He set it up. They battled to the floor. Aleki shoved a pineapple down the back of Wilde's tights with the idea it was shoved you know where. Taylor whipped Aleki into Wilde, presumably shoving it deeper. Poor Wilde was then hit with an atomic drop. They all battled on the floor. Wilde was suplexed through a table on the floor and has been eliminated.
Aleki and Micah Taylor continue on, brawling through the building. They battled atop the bar, until Aleki nailed a headbutt on Taylor, who took a bump backwards through the table.
Your winner, Aleki!
This was fun and you could tell the fans live loved this, but it was lit too dark in places to see what was going on.

Fun tag match.
Fallah Bahh vs. Vargas
They rightfully played this up as two big boys slugging it out. They each tried to headbutt the other but they couldn't really so much damage. They kept firing back and forth with chops and shots but they would absorb them and shrug them off. Vargas finally gained control and worked over Bahh, beating him down. The crowd got into screaming "Bahh" and "NO NO NO."
Bahh finally made a comeback and nailed a belly to belly suplex for a close two count. Bahh nailed a splash in the corner, then a Samoan Drop for a two count. Vargas fired back with a big spinebuster and climbed to the top rope. He nailed a splash off the ropes and covered Bahh, scoring the three count.
Your winner, Vargas!
They played this up like a huge upset. This was as entertaining as it was going to get for this type of back and forth big man bout.
The Amazing Grayons vs. Tyler Payne & LSG.
Payne and Tommy started out. The Graysons spent some playing games. LSG tagged in. After stalling, LSG and JP Grayson did some nice mat wrestling and used some legit amateur takedowns on each other.

Payne nailed a springboard swanton, taking out the two brothers. He nailed the Paynekiller on Tommy but JP broke up the pinfall. The Grayons double teamed Payne with a Samoan Drop/neckbreaker combination but LSG dove in and broke up the pin. LSG peppered them both with forearms but they stopped him. He ducked a double clothesline and nailed a high cross bodyblock in them both.
The Graysons came back to both superkick LSG, then double-teamed Payne with a cutter out of a Gori Guerrero Especial that looked cool as hell.
Your winners, The Amazing Graysons!
Another good, hard fought tag match. There's been a lot of 1980s level babyface vs. heel psychology all over this show and it feels really refreshing to watch that on a show up and down the card.
WrestlePro Gold Interim Champion Deonn Rusmann vs. Bobby Wayward
They started out with some really nice back and forth wrestling and reversals. Wayward backed off and claimed Rusman was too greased up. That's an old school heel tactic that we haven't seen in a long time. Wayward stalled and returned to the ring. They locked up again and he backed Rusman into the corner and drilled him. Rusman lost his cool and beat down Wayward in the corner.
They locked up again with Wayward grabbing a side headlock, working over the champion. He grabbed an armwringer and then went for a waitlock takedown. Rusman reversed and rode him to the mat. Wayward gained control and spent a lot of time controlling Rusman on the mat, scoring several near falls. Wayward looked damn good. Rusman, who has a great innate charima, kept fighting back and looked good. He fought back and put the boots to Wayward.
Rusman nailed a running splash in the corner and dropped a big kneedrop. Rusman nailed a twisting splash for a two count. Wayward cut him and scored a series of near falls. Wayward began breaking him down with European uppercuts and a back elbow for another two count.

Rusman charged but was nailed a roundhouse kick. Rusman, on sheer instinct alone, speared Wayward and landed atop him, both pretty much unconscious. The referee counted three.
Your winner and still Champion, Deonn Rusman.
This was 20 minutes plus and nothing short of excellent. Well worth seeking out.
A well done show overall. When you think about it, outside of Japan, I don't think any promotion has undertaken any sort of tour but Wrestlepro has done that and thus far, put on three very entertaining live events for the fans in attendance.
