Our second main event of the evening was a special contest. Another major star from western wrestling, percentage owner of Puroresu United, as well as the defending GFC World Champion – Sean Sands would be putting his prestigious championship on the line against a long time veteran good ol’ Karnage. At the start of the match the man who had nearly two decades of experience – Andrew challenged the GFC World Champion to a test of strength in the middle of the ring.
Sean wasn’t going to back down even if Karnage was a bigger guy.
The two stars met in the center of the ring pressing their palms up against one another. Karnage began to get the upper hand in the test of strength pushing Sean downwards. Forcing the GFC Champion to bend backwards into an uncomfortable position. Sean then shocked the entire Hall by powering himself back up and somehow managing to force Andrew down into that same position. Karnage then powered himself back up. The two men were pushing their bodies so hard to overpower one another you could hear grunting coming from both men. Sean then pulled his contender into a side headlock. Karnage attempted to push Sean forward but Sand then pulled Karnage down flipping him over. Andrew landed back first onto the canvas. Sean still having the headlock on tight. Andrew then fought his way back up to a vertical base! Karnage then successfully pushed Sands into the ropes. Sean bounced his back off running back towards Drew! Andrew caught Sean – lifting him sideways in scoop powerslam position – and as fast as that move was Sean managed to land on his feet. Karnage was on his knees! The two were showing the world class wrestling ability they had! Towards the middle of the match Sean had Karnage down. He managed to hit Sand Drop! One of his finishers!
ONE!!!

NO!
Sean went up to Andrew and hit the Fame Asser! But that wasn’t enough to get the win. Sean kept up the offense – running the ropes and hitting a bulldog on the contender! Sean then looked to the ropes. He climbed to the top turnbuckle then back flipped off! He looked to land a moonsault but Karnage rolled forward. The GFC World Champion landed on his feet again! Andrew got up – Sean went for the Sands Kick but Karnage side stepped! Drew then wrapped his arms around Sean from behind hitting his German Suplex! He then transitioned to hitting a Tiger Suplex! Lastly he took Sean back down to the canvas with a Dragon Suplex to complete the trio of moves he called: Death By Suplex! It seemed to take a bit out of Sean. Karnage covered him!
ONE!….
TWO!!!!…..

KICKOUT!
Sean got his shoulder up! Karnage was deathly close to winning yet another World Championship. The two continued to go at it until both were seemingly exhausted. Karnage kicked Sean in the stomach! He lifted him up to hit the DIVINE STRAKE! But no! Sean wiggled his way free – landing behind Andrew Karnage! Sean then leaped up in the air grabbing Karnage’s head and hitting the SAND ATTACK! Sean then draped an arm over the veteran….

Post Main Event – As Andrew got up both he and Sean exchanged nods – tired – beaten. But they had mutual respect for one another after such a great match. Andrew Karnage had proven even after all these years he can still go for a top singles title. Sean Sands proved that he can tour the world and defend his championship! Sean then lifted Andrew’s arm up high as the audience clapped extremely loud for both of these men! The show ending on the highest of notes!
