And now it’s main event time, a match that took on a new unexpected twist earlier in the night when Matt Montell agreed to Szalinski’s request… if Chandler Scott wins he takes the number one contendership, but if Madman wins then he becomes the first ever GFC Commonwealth Champion!
Chandler wants to bail as the crowd begins a “You’re going to get your fucking head kicked in” chant. Madman finds it mildly amusing, but doesn’t allow himself to laugh or react at all, he’s stony faced and looks determined as hell here. Bell sounds, they lockup, to the ropes and Chandler breaks clean. Lockup again, some mat work follows as they keep reversing each others holds, and they stand off as the crowd applauds. Test of strength now, they battle for position and Scott into a headlock, off the ropes and a shoulder block to Szalinski. Off the ropes, arm drags by Chandler and into an arm bar. Wristlock now, Szalinski rolls through, breaks it, dropkick and Chandler is not happy. They lockup again, Chandler escapes the arm bar, head scissors by Szalinski, Chandler escapes and Szalinski bridges up and gets the backslide, Chandler out, misses the kick and they stand off once again. The crowd start dueling chants for the pair, loving the early stages of this match which is like a chess game thus far.
Szalinski works for a surfboard, but Scott gets the ropes. Knee to the gut by Chandler, off the ropes and clotheslines Madman over the top rope, quickly following him out with a baseball slide that connects. The Harvard man grabs Madman, whips him into the ringpost but Szalinski gets his hands out in front of him and stops himself smashing into the cold steel. But Chandler quickly follows up with a textbook dropkick to the back which sends Szalinski crashing into the pole, busting his forehead open. Blood begins to drip down Madman’s face as Ariel comes over to check on him. The ref orders Scott to back off and get back in the ring, which he does.
Madman eventually gets back in, just before being counted out, having used as much time as possible to wipe his face clear of blood. As soon as he’s in the ring Chandler attacks, connecting with a knee lift. He steps on the bloody face of Szalinski, off the ropes, jumping elbow drop and a two count.
Chandler attacks Szalinski from behind, off the ropes and a back elbow by Scott. Elbow off the ropes by Chandler and a cover for 2. Swinging neckbreaker. Misses a corner splash, but then rakes the back of Szalinski as he sets him on the top. Chandler then misses a corner dropkick, they trade forearms, uppercuts by Szalinski, off the ropes and a knee to the gut. Kicks to the back, and a cover for 2 by Szalinski. Chandler with a whip to the corner, counter by Szalinski and a charging elbow connects. Northern Lights suplex followed into Deathtrap (Front guillotine w/ leg scissors) by Szalinski! Usually we see him singing loudly at this point, but not today. Today he’s all business and is just yelling loudly as he cranks Chandler Scott as much as he possibly can. Blood is still running down Madman’s face from under his mask.
After a while Chandler gets the ropes. Szalinski releases but sets Chandler up top, where they battle with a series of big rights. Chandler knocks him off and then rakes Szalinski’s face off of the ropes. Szalinski then charges and knocks Chandler into the barricade! Szalinski then with a SICK jumping shin off of the apron! Back in, running back elbow from Madman.
Deathtrap try, countered and Chandler connects with some boots and then covers for 2. They trade rights from their knees, to their feet, they continue to trade, elbow strikes now and then a lariat by Szalinski. German is countered and a jumping shoulderblock by Chandler! Both men are down now, and trying to get to their feet. They are in opposite corners, charging dropkick by Chandler and a roll up for 2. Scoopstone (tilt-a-whirl piledriver) countered, knees by Chandler, Scoopstone countered again, swinging neckbreaker by Chandler, Harvard Surfboard is applied!
Szalinski yells, spitting blood as he powers his way to his feet, breaking the hold of Chandler Scott. Scott connects with a big right, but Madman just screams back at him. Chandler hits another, seemingly no affect still. Chandler bounces off the ropes and goes for the Harvard Hammer… BUT SZALINSKI COUNTERS INTO THE SCOOPSTONE!!! COVER! 1..2..NO!!! FOOT ON THE ROPES!! Madman can’t believe it, Chandler somehow got his foot onto the ropes. Szalinski drags Chandler Scott back to his feet and pushes him into the corner. READY! He steps back, sets himself. DOWN! He charges in… AND SCOTT FLIES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A HARVARD HAMMER!!! COVER!! 1…2…3!!!
Your winner, and new number one contender, Chandler Scott!
Scott wins it with the Harvard Hammer, countering the Tecmo Elbows! And with that he’s just got himself a re-match Jay Pride for the GFC World Heavyweight Championship.
