Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling presents:
Wrestlevania 6!
live, as always, from Philadelphia, PA
1. Bobby Lashley vs. Antonio Inoki (w/ MVP)
Singles Match
The curtain-jerker for this year's show features a never-thought-of match, as MVP ups the ante a whole lot in his mission to take down his former client. Antonio Inoki makes his return to PCW at his behest to matchup with the imposing Bobby Lashley.
2. Natalya & AJ Lee (c) vs. Mayu Iwatani & KAIRI
Women's Tag Team Championship
PCW has had a long-established women's tag team division, thankfully, but current champions have been not thrilled with who PCW General Manager Kairi Sane has brought to them as competition, have instead sought Kairi to remove herself from the position if she is unable to do the job. The challenge is not only accepted, Kairi Sane will come out of retirement, wrestling now as just KAIRI, in her North American return, introduces her former stablemate Mayu Iwatani as her partner.
3. Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, Rikishi, & Scotty 2 Hotty) vs Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki, Zack Sabre, Jr. & Lance Archer)
Trios Match
PCW has never had a strong trios division, we've never had a trios match at a Wrestlevania, and we are looking to get it more off the ground with two teams who are legendary for very different reasons. I'm not sure it would be possible to get two factions with a bigger clash in styles between the extremely popular and crowd-pleasing Too Cool, or the uber-ruthless and aggressive, and maybe crowd-pleasing for different reasons, Suzuki-gun.
4. Bayley w/ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. vs. Zoya the Destroya [played by Alison Brie] w/ Marc Maron and Kate Nash
Women's Commonwealth Championship
PCW chairman G. Kim Johnsson was/is a huge fan of the series "G.L.O.W." on Netflix, which was sadly canceled for their final season, so he was all too willing to give airtime to members of the cast looking to promote the show in hopes that someone else picks it up, and the build to Wrestlevania, is the perfect time of the year to do this with so many millions of eyes on the weekly product. A few weeks ago, cast members Alison Brie, Kate Nash, Marc Maron, along with consultant Chavo Guerrero, Jr. joined the commentary booth to do this during one of Bayley's title defenses, which was short so they had their time for this week cut unfortunately. As one of the biggest stars in the company, Bayley offers the cast a spot on the Ding Dong, Hello Show the following week. However, she thinks this is all ridiculous and has been unimpressed with things like "funny" videos of Alison doing matches with herself, and mocks her and her character, Zoya the Destroya. She pokes fun at thinking Alison could have an actual wrestling match to the point where Bayley mockingly challenges her to one, with the title, and says that it's a good opportunity to get her 'stupid' character to be seen, making the idea not outright rejected. Chavo does not think this is such a good idea, since this would be 'real' wrestling, and it's not what the cast was trained to do and is incredulous when the challenge is accepted and decides he cannot support this, berating the cast, shoving Marc Maron down when he tries to calm him down (setting up a potential spot in the match), and ostensibly turns heel. The match is set up under the auspices that Alison Brie is playing the actual character of Zoya the Destoya, Marc Maron and Kate Nash as special commentators, and Chavo 'present' at ringside but clearly supporting Bayley.
5. Seth Rollins vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
Keystone Cup Tournament Final
This is the finals of the inaugural "Keystone Cup" tournament, where the winner goes the opportunity to challenge the world champion, similar to the New Japan Cup where it is not Money in the Bank, but to become the #1 contender and determine the terms of the match. Two aces of their generation, but competing a world away, meet in the final in a true dream match scenario having beaten most of the contemporaries you see elsewhere on this card. Both have been around PCW before and the paths of Seth Rollins and Hiroshi Tanahashi will finally meet on the grand stage of Wrestlevania.
6. Drew Gulak (c) vs. Mark Henry vs. Tomohiro Ishii vs. Stevie Richards vs. Wheeler Yuta vs. Justin Credible vs. Essa Rios vs. Steve Blackman vs. Al Snow vs. Johnny Knoxville vs. David Arquette vs. Larry Zbysko
12-Way Ladder Match
Men's Commonwealth Championship
Upon request of PCW hometown legend and current champion Drew Gulak, the PCW Men's Commonwealth Championship is set to be hung atop a ladder in this open invitational featuring a mix of legends of the Philadelphia (some Pennsylvania) wrestling scene, natives of Philadelphia, and assorted familiar "legends," for lack of a better term for some.
7. reDragon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) vs. The Quebecers (Jacques Rougeau & Carl Ouellet w/ Raymond Rougeau & Jimmy Hart)
"Province of Quebec Rules"
Men's Tag Team Championship
Upon reaching been aggressive in their pursuit of the tag team championship, the Quebecers, which as Quebecers, are new to the territory and are extremely and pridefully Quebec about it, previously 'accidentally' took out one of reDragon's main contenders, that has also rendered them undermanned and not happy that they did not obtain their #1 contender status with honor. This makes them leery and set up a plan to remove Raymond Rougeau from their equation as to level the playing field. As to replace him, and because their normal manager is not available, the Quebecers have employed their own once-manager and "the Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart to protect Jacques and Carl from reDragon's unfettered aggression and have the championship match contested under 'Province of Quebec Rules' where the championships can change hands on a disqualification, obviously with hopes that that's what they can coerce to have happen.
8. Sasha Banks (c) vs. Chyna
Women's World Championship
Last year Sasha Banks, at long last, achieved her ultimate dream, winning the PCW Women's World Championship in the Wrestlevania 5 main-main event (it went on last) in the '200V Double Hell Double Landmine Exploding Barbed Wire Exploding Ring No Disqualification Deathmatch,' which was rated 7 1/2 stars, and she has held the title for a whole year up leading into this year's show. To commemorate these achievements, the chairman scheduled an elaborate celebration and has offered Sasha Banks 'whoever and whatever she wants,' essentially giving her the ability to book her own title match for the biggest show of the year, uh, within reason. Her request is one of her personal heroes, and the ultimate game changer when it came to women in wrestling: the 9th Wonder of the World - Chyna. Sasha soon finds out though that Chyna isn't just showing up to coronate her, send a calling card in the form of a surprise run-in and brawl during the celebration, feeling slighted at the insinuation that this isn't an earned opportunity - she was coming for the title anyways. Given she feels she's given Chyna the opportunity, Sasha's disappointment is palatable, this is not what she wanted (even if it's what she asked for), but everyone knows no one is ever going to out-mean her. Both are here to lay claim the fact we're able to get two women so significant to each of their eras will at least make this among the most compelling matchups on the card.
9. Jon Moxley vs. Atsushi Onita
Japanese Deathmatch
In part of last year's double main event, Jon Moxley dropped the men's world championship in a brutally fought Hell in a Cell match. But not one to sulk, Moxley has continued to fight and claw and be violent because, well, that's what Jon Moxley does best. Making a new challenge is a first-timer to the PCW scene and legend and innovator of assorted versions of deathmatches, Atsushi Onita. It's a matchup of two men who only know how to go all the way, in this special attraction Japanese Deathmatch - and there's no place better than Philadelphia for this match, given we're not in Japan. On commentary will be special guest and wife to Jon Moxey, Renee Paquette once again, because her live reactions ringside are going to be priceless once again.
10. Bryan Danielson (c) vs. Ricky Steamboat
2 out of 3 Falls
Men's World Championship
This year's main event is particularly delicious. Bryan Danielson is no stranger to the local scene here, but he's finally made his way into PCW and quickly worked himself into position to challenge for and win the PCW Men's World Championship. He is finally, rightfully, the top person in the company - through sheer handwork and determination that reflects the patrons of this city and state. On the other side, Ricky Steamboat is similarly respected in the industry, despite being undervalued and overshadowed by the bigger stars of his generate, thus he has never been the top guy. But now he is going to get a rare opportunity to achieve that status. It is not in the nature of either person to give up their ground now after the work they've put in to get here, but the time has come where they must go through each other. And Danielson wants everyone to know, that he's going to kick Steamboat's head in.

Branimal84 Promotions Presents: Back To The Future
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Main Event:
"The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada v. The Dynamite Kid (with Paul Heyman)
Billington, annoyed with those who claim he inspired them to become professional wrestlers, has taken it upon himself to challenge who many believe to be the greatest wrestler in the world today, Kazuchika Okada, to show today's generation how it is done. Armed with a mouthpiece and master strategist in Paul Heyman, Billington is dead set on showing those that while athleticism is important, many today lack the killer instinct it takes to brutalize their opponent.
FTR v. The Midnight Express
(James E. Cornette suspended above the ring in a shark cage)
Having recently taken FTR under his wing, Jim Cornette has boldly proclaimed Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood to be the greatest tag team of all time. Taking exception, The Midnight Express have returned to challenge that claim and confront Cornette to understand this sudden betrayal. In the build to the match, both The Midnight Express and FTR leak voicemails left by Cornette where he is playing both teams and appearing to hedge his bets, dead set on coming out on top no matter which team wins. Given that neither team can trust him, Cornette is forced to be suspended above the ring in a solid steel cage, with the winning team getting 5 minutes alone in the ring with him.
Dean Malenko v. Jonathan Gresham
Terminus Rules (15 min time limit with 90 second OT if needed)
Gresham, alongside his cohorts in The Foundation, have made it their mission to re-establish technical wrestling as the gold standard of the industry. Having torn through some of the biggest names of today, Gresham looks to the past and calls out The Man of 1000 holds, Dean Malenko, as his hand-picked opponent. Malenko, looking for that career-defining moment, accepts. Gresham makes the match under the rules established through his own promotion, TERMINUS, as the bedrock of this all important clash.
Bull Nakano (with Paul Heyman) v. Hikaru Shida
Aligning herself with Paul Heyman and The Dynamite Kid, Bull Nakano issued a challenge to one of the longest reigning AEW Women's Champions Hikaru Shida. Seeing parallels in Billington's career to hers, Bull wants to prove to the modern audience that she is not only better than today's athlete, but should be regarded as the greatest of all time.
Brooklyn Brawler v. Barry Horowitz
Special guest referee: Harvey Wippleman
*Loser of the match loses his wrestling license and is barred from competing*
After years and years of tolerated failure, and at the urging of many other promotions, Branimal84 has taken it upon himself to bring back some dignity to the sport. Not everyone should be allowed to wrestle with impunity! That's why these two life-long losers should finally be forced to win. Yes, we all know Barry had that win against Bodydonna Skip and we all know that the man rips in The Brooklyn Brawler's shirt were from The Undertaker begging for mercy (his words), but we're a long way from 1995, folks. And to make sure it's called down the middle, we need one of the sport's most miserable failures in Harvey Wippleman to also bring some integrity to his profession.
*Special Attraction Tag Team Match*
No Holds Barred
Wrath and Mortis (with James Mitchell) v. Bruce Hart and Jason The Terrible
*If Bruce Hart wins, he retains his soul. However, if he loses, his soul will become the property of the SINISTER MINISTER*
Down in the dumps and regretful of his time spent on the outside looking in, Bruce Hart, on a whim, told a colleague backstage following the 32nd unsuccessful relaunch of Stampede Wrestling, that he would sell his soul for a modicum of success in a promotion he didn't book. Overheard from within the men's room handicap stall, James Mitchell offered a pen and paper, assuring Bruce that his dealings with the Dark Lord permitted him to make such promises. Only after signing, did Mitchell reveal that Bruce will compete in main events and main events only from now on - but strictly on hell tours in the fridged Canadian North.
Bruce, with no recourse, began appearing at these shows, but with one goal - to kill the towns. To produce matches so bad that not even these entertainment-starved communities would want James Mitchell and his wrestling side show back.
Mitchell, with his back against the wall, agreed to release Bruce from his contract and save his promotion, but only if he could defeat two of his most prized pupils, Wrath and Mortis. Bruce could even pick his own partner. But should he lose, he must return to these towns, make it right, and continue wrestling "until the wheels fall off".
Left with little choice in a partner given all the bridges he's burned, Bruce reaches into the past and calls upon an ally so dangerous, he expects to strike fear into the hearts of Mitchell's minions, JASON THE TERRIBLE.
Special Triple Threat Cruiserweight Match
Dante Martin v. Psichosis v. Tony Mamaluke (with Paul Heyman)
Looking at the current success of the gravity defying Dante Martin and the past success of one of Mexico's finest exports in Psicosis, ECW alumni and former F.B.I. member Tony Mamaluke vows to take action into his own hands. Unable to get a footing on success, Tony believes that the only way to stand out as a high-flying luchador, is to take the legs out from under his competition. Literally. Not only does Tony vow to win this special challenge match, but he fully intends to break the legs of his opponents.
Timothy Thatcher v. Ricochet
FIGHT PIT
Thatcher with his "thatch as thatch can" style, aims to ground the death-defying antics of Ricochet inside one of the industry's most punishing - and limiting - matches, THE FIGHT PIT. Unafraid of his tormentor's threats, Ricochet fully intends to explore the possibilities of what someone as fearless as Riccochet can accomplish deep inside the claustrophobic confines of Thatcher's den. But all Thatcher needs is just one mistake - one opening - and if he can grab an arm or ankle, he can bring any man to tears.
Jason Jordan and Chad Gable v. Rhett Titus and Tracey Williams
*2 out of 3 Falls*
Every good wrestling show needs an electric opener - one that sets the pace for the rest of the night. And what is better than a match between two teams made up of pure-bred workhorses like American Alpha and The Foundation? No gimmicks are needed here. Just a straight up, balls to the wall wrestling match with two teams looking to outperform the other.
