RENE INJURED?
A lot of people are worried about Dupree, but we saw him walking about outside after the show and he seemed fine. No limping or anything and didn't seem in any pain which is good cause he was awesome.
--------------------------
Yeah, that looked REALLY f****** nasty, good to hear he was walking about OK after the show.
ONTO THE RESULTS
Project Ego beat Jonny Storm and Jodie Fleisch
Zack Sabre Jr pinned Chris Hero
Ulf Hermann no-contest with Steve Corino
Spud and Hubba Bubba Lucha beat Damned Nation
Afterwards DN left Dragon Aisu laying.
Pac [replacing Zebra Kid] defeated Lionheart
Johnny Moss beat Martin Stone, Juggernaut and Dave Moralez to win the Openweight title.
Moss suffered a nasty looking gash to the top of his head yet still managed to pull off an impressive 4 german suplexes on Moralez.
Rene Dupree and Prince Mohmed Ameen beat Delirious and Mad Man Manson.
Dupree was thrown out of the ring and smacked his legs hard on the guard rail.
He seemed legit hurt after the match, hopefully nothing too serious.
Sterling James Keenan beat Raven.
Darren Burridge returned after the match, challenging Corino to a match when he is fit to compete and Stone issued a challenge to SJK for the 1PW title.
FEEDBACK
Manson and Delirious were hilarious, as was Dupree. Ameen on the other hand was just boring. Loved seeing Dupree again! His dance thing is just a mark out moment
. I was actually shocked that Ameen and Dupree won too.--------------------
The comedy tag was good, it was amusing, and Rene’s dance was great... the match did go a tiny bit too long, and Rene on the apron seemed to watch the match and think “what the fuck?” for much of it, which i think was the feeling with a few people behind us too. But yeah, i still enjoyed it. Rene fall onto the rails looked bad, and i’m guessing he had some injury or other as he quickly hobbled backstage and didn’t even act heel or use the real entrance. Just upped and hobbled off. Some woman next to us said it was a suspected broken ankle cause she’d been text from someone backstage but i dunno how true that is. Momed won, which means he’ll be back, hate this cause he’s shit and his material is so incredibly old it’s not even funny.

Manson and Delirious vs Ameen and Dupree
Funny comedy match manson was the best though. if the whole night had been shit that match would have still been quality to watch. Also good to have dupree as a surprise its good to have unexpected big stars.
-------------------------------
I liked how there were wrestlers unnanounced like Dupree, Pac n Spud its better to have a surprise and it was good having a few of the old stars back.
1PW has pyro, theres a step forward.

Mad Man Manson & Delirious vs. Prince Mohmed Ameen & Rene Dupree
Eesh. This match and its buildup began at just after the ten o'clock mark as far as I recall; did nobody tell Ameen that there wasn't time for his long, drawn-out promo? Dupree was a good replacement for Basham and he did what was asked of him, despite still being slightly in awe of Manson, especially in the combined presence of Delirious also. As for the aforementioned maddened duo, their chemistry is evident, both in this match and in previous encounters for 1PW, and I certainly hope to see the Bizarre Lizard Man brought back for more interaction with Manson in future. Frankly, the only weak link in this match was Mohmed Ameen, who looked out of place and awkward. There was also a nasty situation at the end where Dupree's legs crashed into a guardrail, with his left leg sticking in between two, and I certainly hope he hasn't had any serious damage as a result. A decent comedy affair that just went on too late and a bit too long for its own good.

Mad Man Manson & Delirious vs. Prince Mohmed Ameen & Rene Dupree
I believe 1PW has a training academy and perhaps Ameen should go to it. Appalling. Crap gimmick and dreadful in the ring. Dupree was entertaining and funny and played to the crowd. Delirious was hilarious, not the greatest in ring but very funny. Manson was manson and did everything the crowd wanted to see.
-----------------------------------------
Prince Mohmed Ameen (?) and Rene Dupree vs. Delirious and Mad Man Manson
Not as good as the comedy match before, but Delirious still managed to stand out. I quite enjoyed Rene in there too. Delirious' "French Tickle !" spot was the highlight.
------------------------------------------
The comedy tag match was decent. I don't know why those fans in the front row constantly shouted for Dupree to do a dance AFTER he'd just done one for them, then wanted Ameen and Manson to dance too. Delirious and Manson should really be a tag team. Delirious running around the ring and the constantly tagging Manson back in had me in tears. Dupree performed the straight man role quite well. A good breather before the main event.
