Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Joe Pedicino interviews Big Bully Busick. Busick says he’s presented fact after fact to the GWF committee regarding the bully blaster. Busick explains the different levels to striking the heart. Pedicino says the bully blaster is very dangerous.
2.) Simpson backs Stetson into the ropes and backs off cleanly. Simpson puts a headlock on Stetson, but Stetson counters with a head scissors on the mat. Simpson pops free and puts a headlock on Stetson. Simpson puts a full nelson on Stetson, but Stetson reaches the ropes only for Simpson to drop Stetson to the mat.

Stetson knocks Simpson off the apron to the floor. Simpson wraps Stetson’s leg around the ring post. Simpson monkey flips Stetson out of the corner. Simpson hits a top rope splash to pin Stetson. (1/2*. Simpson did virtually nothing of interest other than a crossbody and the top rope splash. GWF continues the trend of not presenting the style you’d expect from the division.)
3.) Parsons struts around the ring to get a pop from the crowd. Street does a little bit of dancing for a crowd pop. Street gets a hammerlock on Parsons, but lets go of the hold as Parsons reaches the ropes. Street goes back to a hammerlock, but Parsons goes to the ropes again.

Street counters a piledriver attempt with a backdrop on the floor and uppercuts Parsons. Street uppercuts Parsons followed by chops against the apron. Street rolls Parsons into the ring and threatens to strike Parsons, but Parsons begs off. Street forearms Parsons on the chest in the corner. Street pummels Parsons, but is dumped over the top to the floor. The referee calls for the bell and has disqualified Parsons. (*. The brawling wasn’t too bad on the floor, but aside from that there wasn’t much going on here. The finish was rather lame and seemed to be a way to protect Parsons from doing a job.)
4.) Joe Pedicino hosts the Newsroom. Pedicino talks about Iceman Parsons and Max Andrews. Parsons thinks he should be able to use his stick, but Andrews doesn’t think he should. Pedicino says there’s no rule against it. Pedicino notes that over the top rope is not a disqualification (it literally just happened). There will be a twenty count to get back into the ring. Pedicino brings up Scott Steiner’s injury in WCW and they wish him well. Pedicino notes GWF will have a tag tournament, too.
5.) Boni Blackstone interviews GWF fan Claireen. She has a question asking how it feels for Patriot to be the GWF Television Champion.
6.) Adias backs Bandolero against the ropes, but cleanly backs away. Adias controls Bandolero with a hammerlock and rams Bandolero into the corner. Adias delivers a hip toss and gets a one count on the mat with a front face lock. Bandolero puts a headlock on Adias, but Adias hip tosses Bandolero and continues to keep control with a headlock.

Bandolero chokes Adias over the top rope followed by chops. Bandolero elbows Adias coming off the ropes, but Adias battles back with a side Russian leg sweep for the win. (DUD. There was nothing to be excited about here, at all.)
7.) Boni Blackstone interviews GWF Television Champion The Patriot, regarding the fans question from earlier. Patriot says it is the greatest feeling he’s ever had because of the people he’s met in the GWF and all the people he represents. Patriot is thrilled to represent all the fans. He didn’t have the title on him, though.
8.) Bill Pedicino interviews ‘Wild’ Bill Irwin. Irwin has his whip handy and Pedicino asks if Irwin is going to be in the tag tournament, which he’s going to be in. Irwin is also going to be in the heavyweight championship. Irwin doesn’t know what he’s going to do with all the titles he’ll hold. Irwin brings his whip because it is his partner and he’ll tag the whip whenever he needs it.
9.) Gonzales backs Davis into a corner, but cleanly backs off and Davis complains of a hair pull that never happened. Davis puts a wrist lock on Gonzales, but Gonzales counters quickly and Davis goes to the ropes to force a rope break.

Gonzales backs Davis into a corner to deliver a few shoulder rams, but Davis eye rakes Gonzales to break free. Davis bites Gonzales’s forehead. Davis rubs Gonzales’s eyes onto the ropes. Davis chokes Gonzales before delivering a few forearm strikes. Gonzales elbows Davis against the ropes. Davis hooks Gonzales to hit a snap suplex for a two count. Davis strikes Gonzales and hits an axe kick for the win. (DUD. There was literally nothing exciting about this match either. The crowd didn’t seem to care all that much.)
10.) Craig Johnson and Scott Hudson interview Mike Davis. Davis got the last spot in the tournament. Hudson asks if Davis is looking for a partner. Davis asks how does Hudson know what he’s doing in the GWF. Davis tells Hudson one thing people can’t do is trust him. Hudson asks again if Davis is looking for a partner to go after the tag titles. Davis is always looking for more money and he’s looking at someone to help him achieve that, but it is nobody’s business.
Final Thoughts:
Safe to say there’s nothing here to be entertained or excited about. The division lacks any excitement at this point and the style of wrestling is not high energy or full of any high spots.
Thanks for reading.
