But before we get to the ring, let’s see another video clip of what went down prior to the bell…

Sophie O’Brien is in the ring, microphone in her hand. Wallace is stood opposite her, the GFC World Title draped over his shoulder.
SOB: Ladies and Gentlemen, first off thank you for welcoming me into your little company for this exhibition match. It’s such a quaint little venue, a long way from the places I’m used to performing in back in MCW and GDW. But I kinda like it here and so I’ve agreed to sign a deal to stick around beyond this match.
The crowd are split, some glad to have her stay and others wishing she’d just shut the hell up.
SOB: My contract was signed earlier this evening and there’s one little caveat that I think you all should know about, especially you William.
Wallace looks slightly confused but unimpressed.
SOB: Every match that I take part in, except championship or commonwealth matches, will be contested under Chivalry is Dead rules!
The crowd cheer at that one, but again Wallace looks unimpressed, although this time mixed with slight concern. But he soon shakes that off and nods at his opponent, mouthing “ok, then shut up and let’s get on with this.”

And get on with it is what they did…
William Wallace vs. Sophie O’Brien – Chivalry is Dead Rules
O’Brien comes out of the corner flying, hitting a flying knee and then busting out a big dropkick that sends the Champ out through the ropes. William takes over by sitting down to block a powerbomb from the apron and busts Sophie open on the guardrail as he tosses her off the apron. We then get several minutes of Wallace just demolishing a bloody O’Brien on the outside.
I’m not sure this is what Sophie O’Brien had in mind when asking for a Chivalry is Dead match, Wallace seemed unimpressed with it at first but now he’s got his hands on O’Brien I think he’s warming to the idea! Things take a sick turn when William uses a steel chain to choke out O’Brien, and where DID he get that chain? I mean, really, who brings a chain to a wrestling show?
Sophie makes a comeback after avoiding Wallace’s clothesline. She hits a suicide dive and a sick missile dropkick to the knee, which allows her to hit a series of kicks to knock down the bigger Wallace. Sophie wipes some blood off her face and slapping the big man. That costs her a bit though as a fired up Wallace makes an emphatic comeback with a shoulder charge in the corner, a bulldog and an elbow drop for a one count only.
Sophie flips out of a backdrop attempt and gets a small package, and then gets an impressive German Suplex before trying for her finishing hold, Wisdom. Fortunately for Wallace he’s close to the ropes and breaks up the hold.
Both competitors are back to their feet and Wallace nails a massive lariat, but his follow up powerbomb is reversed into a ‘rana and O’Brien almost steals the win.
Sophie now gets her hands on the chain and chokes Wallace with the chain before kicking his head and then adding a triangle choke, great improvisation from O’Brien. The crowd chanting “Please don’t tap” to Wallace, wanting this match to go on. And Wallace is being strong here, not tapping and managing to turn things around and escaping the hold.
He gets to his feet, shakes off a slap to the face and hits a sick powerbomb on O’Brien! Sophie manages to get her foot on the rope to survive after that huge move! William tries to follow up with a clothesline with the chain but Sophie counters to an armbar! Wallace struggling to reach the ropes but then simply rolls onto his side, gets his free arm under his opponent and lifts her into the air! He gets out of the armbar by lifting Sophie up and dropping her again in a modified powerbomb!
Sophie releases the hold but moves quickly to trip Wallace up and apply the Wisdom… using the chain around Wallace’s neck instead of her arms. Sickening to watch a man get choked out by a chain, but Wallace refuses to tap. He manages to get a hand between his neck and the chain, keeping it loose enough to stop his throat being crushed. Eventually he gets his other hand up too and manages to pull the chain away from him, taking away the pressure and breaking the hold.
While Wallace recovers, being checked on by the referee, Sophie grabs something from ringside, looking like she drank something. She heads to Wallace, holds a lighter out in front of her and spits out some flammable liquid, sending a fireball into the face of William Wallace!
The referee gets between the two as Wallace goes down, clutching his face. But O’Brien rightly reminds the referee that this is a Chivalry is Dead match, there are NO rules here tonight! I have to say, O’Brien is a sadistic and ruthless bitch… but is getting the job done here tonight.
She pulls Wallace to his feet, his beard smoking having been singed. She smiles, but not for long as Wallace connects with a massive headbutt that rocks Sophie, busting her nose open and causing blood to start flowing again. She falls back against the ropes before charging in, looking for the Ode to Braddock, but she’s too small to flip Wallace over and Wallace just sits down, effectively taking her down with a reverse piledriver!
O’Brien is dazed as hell as Wallace makes the cover, using the ropes for leverage to make sure he gets the three count!
Your winner, William Wallace!
This was awesome. Sickening violence, blood, creativity, intense hatred and a story to boot. Both had to leave the technical wrestling in the locker room and just fight. There’s a number of images here that I’ll remember for a long time. And seeing Wallace turn Sophie’s own rules against her? Priceless.
