Attendance was down from last show, an estimated 50. The die-hards came out, but it seemed no one wanted to brave the rainy weather.
The show began with Rachel talking about how that little "wanna-be" cheerleader Aria needs to mind her own business and keep her nose out of places it doesn't belong when it comes to Joey Kidman's match against Bobby Moore at Sacred Ground 4. Chip and Sylar took the microphone next, and they announced they are giving their points accumulated during the Tag Team Season to Los Ben Dejos, a tag team coming in from Florida for Sacred Ground. This worked because Chip and Sylar have singles matches during Sacred Ground which are more important to the overall story arc. If that weren't the case, them giving up their shot at being tag team champions wouldn't really speak to me, as they seem currently to want all the gold and all the glory. Jeff G. Bailey was suspended because he didn't make his previous engagement to be handcuffed to Johnny Danger. Jeff G. Bailey rarely stays gone for long, so I'm pretty sure he'll make an appearance at Sacred Ground.
Match 1: Sugar Shane and Josh Colter vs. The Washington Bullets
Winners: The Washington Bullets.
The match was explosive with lots of twists and turns. Both teams worked really well together. Sugar Shane and Josh Colter play cocky heel in a lovely fashion, and they made you really want the Bullets to slap them down. The Bullets won this match the way they do best by double teaming the opposition.
Match 2: Matt Von Reaper vs. El Zombie Mascaras
Winner: El Zombie Mascaras
When two faces fight each other, the crowd's loyalties are torn. In this case, both Matt Von Reaper and Zombie Mascaras are crowd favorites, and the crowd seemed afraid to get solidly behind either wrestler for fear of hurting the other's feelings. This doesn't work well because the audience sits there quietly, and there are no real emotional moments. The two wrestlers shook hands at the beginning of the match. Zombie Mascaras appears to be a more solid wrestler than Matt Von Reaper though Matt Von Reaper has a more compelling character. Reaper did get a tiny bit of audience support, but the audience really sat through the match with little response. Zombie pinned Von Reaper after a nice slam, and he was really sweet after his win and held up Reaper's hand too.
Match 3: De La Vega vs. Dynomite Soul
Winner: De La Vega
De La Vega came out accompanied by Quasi Mandisco. Quasi Mandisco was brilliant. He nearly made the audience revolt. He went off on someone about what a real man was, and managed to make them angry enough they left for a bit. They came back in a few minutes. Bad guys exist to make the audience hate them, and Quasi Mandisco really did his job at this show. When he was told he really upset the crowd he said I don't give a damn about them. Dynomite Soul came out after that to play hero, and the wrestling portion of this segment began. Vega plays the part of cowardly scum well, as he kept leaving the ring to avoid having to face Dynomite Soul. Vega got the pin because Dynomite was distracted by having to deal with Quasi's shenanigans.
Next we had Johnny Danger Time. Johnny Danger started by saying "Everyone's afraid of something." An older lady in the audience said "Nope." Danger responded "Well you're hardcore." He then asked audience members what they were afraid of, and one responded spiders. Johnny Danger said to the young man, "Marry someone tougher than you to kill them for you." Danger said "I'm afraid of heights, but if my best friend Supernatural can climb a ladder to win the belt then I can climb a ladder tonight." He climbed to the top of the ladder, and Chip Day and Sylar Cross came out. They told him he had to shut his show down. He responded "You buttholes ended my career. You're not taking my show." It looked like Sylar and Chip would knock him off the ladder, but Marko and Supernatural came out to his aid. The audience went crazy out of concern that Sylar and Chip would succeed in their efforts to hurt Johnny Danger. Chip Day is deliciously evil, and he makes one want to slap the smirk right off his face.
Match 4: Dementia De Rose and Warhorse 10101 vs. Big F'n Deal (Brian Blaze and Geter)
Winners: Big F'n Deal
Dementia De Rose spoke about the first ever women's trinity match in Sacred Ground History. She warned Mia Yim and Leva Bates, "When you step into my ring, you step into my nightmare." This match was a squash, which was expected since a Warhorse was involved. This match was less about the match itself and more about setting up for Sacred Ground. Big F'n deal were the 2012 Tag Team Season winners, and they said "This is our place, our show, we are a big F'n deal." The bullets came out and got in their faces, and De La Vega came out and proclaimed that he would be Tag Team Champions. He's scheduled to compete at Sacred Ground with a mystery partner.
Main Event: Of Mice and Men (Chip Day and Sylar Cross) vs. Supernatural and Marko Polo
Winners: Supernatural and Marko Polo
Of Mice and Men inspire true hatred from the Porterdale crowd. The match took a minute to get started as fighting took place outside the ring, but this really established how much these two teams despise each other. When it looked like Of Mice and Men were going to lose this contest, Sylar hit Marko with the stretcher causing a disqualification. They attacked referee Chuck Porterfield for calling the match a disqualification. The entire locker room came out after they attacked the referee, and an all out brawl ensued. Tensions were at an all time high, but then everything drastically halted as the Sacred Ground 4 trailer began playing on the screen. The pause was awkward and completely unnatural. The video paused for a minute because it had to buffer, and Brian Blaze yelled "Hit somebody." and the brawl restarted. The trailer's placement in the show interrupted the flow of the action immensely.
At the very end of the show, Supernatural came out to the ring with a ladder holding both belts. He climbed to the top of the ladder and laid both belts up there. The image of the belt at the top of the ladder was the last thing the crowd saw before they exited the building. This show was pretty good, but it felt less like a show and more like a teaser trailer for the bigger event, Sacred Ground 4, which is set to take place at 7pm on October 5th.
