Righteous Jesse is your high-energy screaming announcer, firing the post-Spring Break crowd back up. “All night Long” cuts through the Florida air, bringing us the Impact World Champion to kick this off. His original opponent Tony Deppen had to pull off the weekend so Swann issues an open challenge....KTB storms to the ring. Oh goodness.

KTB with early power but really stuns Swann with a rollup attempt that nearly catches him. Swann with ranas and KTB is goes to the well of big shoulder blocks and falling headbutts for two. KTB working the shoulder but Swann manages to stun the big man with a flurry of jabs & kicks. 450 off the middle but the beast kicks out.

Brown eliminates Skye on a vertical suplex to the knees. Brown eliminates Dante with a package piledriver. Broad eliminates Brown with a deadlift german bridge. KC Navarro eliminates Broadway with a small package. TJ Crawford with a vertical suplex after Gabriel Skye interferes to KC Navarro for the elimination.

Match 4: Brian Cage vs. “Dirty Daddy” Chris Dickinson

Hoss fight. Dickinson’s head is still messed up from his match with Janela on Spring Break. Dickinson fighting with energy early but the MACHINE drags him to the floor, posts him and opens up that head again with mounted punches. Cage is kicking out the legs of Chris but the Dirty Daddy drags him into a choke. Cage with a crab and stomps out the knee. Dickinson endures, slaps on the armbar but Cage stacks it. He tries a cross face but Cage gets it into a pin attempt. Dickinson firing up and working the arm on the outside on the post. Dickinson breaks a board over Cage’s arm. OW. MIssile dropkick from Daddy. Cage with a powerbomb and working the leg again. Dickinson fires up and angrys his way through a deep figure four. BOth guys unloading the clip. Dickinson tries a PK but Cage catches the knee back into another leg lock and Dickinson is forced to tap out! How did Dickinson work a match like this after THAT war with Janela? Cage stands tall here but VxS wants to run it back. 

Winner: Brian Cage

Match 5: 2 Cold Scorpio vs. Eli Everfly

Scorpio laughing at the size of Everfly. Scorpio launches his across the ring from the lock up. Eli getting mad at this disrespect. Scorpio working big man until Eli speeds things up with his highly-athletic offense. Eli takes out the knee and hit an enziguri for two. Scorpio throwing big knees and slams and keeping the pace slow, pulling Eli into a deeeeeeeep single leg crab. Scorpio keeps the pressure one and hits a flip leg drop into a chin lock. He takes the kid to the top but Everfly comes down with a rana. Fight to the outside, Scorpio gets rocked and eats a moonsault to the floor. Eli continuing to fly but Scorpio gets ahold, throwing a pile of knees and hits the flip leg drop off the top for the pin. Everfly gave him a good fight and forces Scorpio to acknowledge him respectfully. It was fun to see Scorpio working the other side of a power vs speed match.

Winner: 2 Cold Scorpio

Oliver has worked so many matches today. The Tampa wind is picking up and causing some production issues. Nick Gage hops onto commentary. Oliver and Lloyd with slaps to fire this up. Oliver gets a chair and blasting Lloyd, opening his forehead. Lloyd fires up on this but Oliver is quick and keeping him eating the chair. The turnbuckles getting stripped off. Lloyd slingshots Oliver to the exposed corner and Jordan is bleeding now too. Jimmy needs more chairs. Reversals back and forth, Oliver with a slingshot stunner and big boot for two. Jimmy trying to set up a chair structure, Oliver cuts it off with a german for two. Big lariat turns Jimmy inside out. They battle onto the chairs, Lloyd hits a piledriver into the chairs but Oliver kicks out. Oliver guts it out and hits a ddt for two. Oliver is tuning up the band??? Jimmy dodges the incoming clout cutter, hits a overt low blow and rolls up Oliver for the three. Nice war. 

Winner: Jimmy Lloyd

Match 7: Dr. Cube vs. JTG (no DQ)

As a Kaiju Big Battel fan, I was overjoyed to see this ridiculous matchup announced. The good doctor arrives with his squad of minions. JTG wipes them all out with a immediate dive, knowing that these no-DQ rules don’t play in his favor. JTG rips off the Cube head, revealing the horrible meat face underneath. JTG with a spin out uranage and Cube is down for the count but the minions pull the ref out before he can finish the pin. JTG with a big spinebuster and the minions pull the ref again. JTG wants another big hit but Cube with the low blow. JTG tossed to the buckles and they are still loose from the previous match. The minions beating on THE GOD but JTG fights back and powerbombs them into each other. Cube off the top with a hangman’s dropkick to the back of the head. Only a two count. Minion stabs JTG in the head and they hit the ring, set up a table and they put Jay through it with a double chokeslam. The ref has no control here. Minion with a corkscrew senton but Cube can’t get the three. Minions got light tubes but they are firing up JTG, who hulks up. JTG’s back is gross but he blasts Cube with a bundle of light tubes. JTG with a dropkick to the nuts. The minion army swarms again. Cube grabs the mic to talk to JTG while the minions hold him back. Hit the music and CaZXL hits the ring to clear out the minion army with big boots and chokeslams, looking like 911 Diesel right now. Cube runs for cover. CaZXL leaves and Cube is on his own as JTG is back up. Cube with a mouth full of green mist and a roaring elbow. He spreads a pile of thumbtacks. JTG recovers and powerbombs the doctor on them......and again. Cube gives the finger and JTG hits the Brooklyn Edge for the win. This was absolutely insane and I loved it. 

Winner: JTG

Main Event: Lio Rush vs. Low Ki

Janela is on commentary with 100% for this contest. Rush is in a white power ranger outfit? Nice. Ki stomping around the ring before getting right into Rush’s face. The Professional is still wearing his tie and gun holsters. Rush is pure confidence as he out speeds Low Ki. Rush comes running and eats a stifff savant kick that sends him to the outside. Lio knows he’s in a chess match and trying to duck in to pick the arm or foot, saying out of Ki’s deadly range. Ki gets his hands on Rush anyways and the man of the hour is in a fight for his life. Lio manages to crotch Ki on the second rope and takes control, hits tho the gut and small package for two. Lio tries a sunset flip but Ki with a double stomp. Lio tries to come off the top but Ki catches him up there. Rush with a rana off the top but Ki rolls right. Into the double stomp for two. Ki wants the Ki Crusher, Lio turns it into a DDT for two. Rush misses a frog splash. Ki with a shotgun dropkick, double stomp off the top and that’s all for Lio. They shake hands and Low Ki milks the crowd reaction as we fade to black.

Winner: Low Ki
