On Friday December 12th fans came out for Pro Wrestling Riot's "Road to the Gold-Part Two" event. It was held in the New Lakes in
Regency Park Civic Center, 8330 Civic Drive in Port Richey, FL.
In a pre-show match, former IPW Hardcore star Havok defeated Buck Wild after hitting him with his cowbell.
(1) In a Heavyweight tournament match, 911 Inc.'s Francisco Ciatso (w/ "Hardcore Giant" Ron Niemi & DCFC members Jon David &
Kory Chavis) defeated Nooie Lee.
Never one to shy away from a microphone, Ron Niemi stepped forward to address the fans about 911’s Shawn Osborne’s
victory last month. He also said he guarantees DCFC will win their tag titles soon enough. Lee wasted no time hitting the ring and Ciatso
wasted no time in knocking Lee across the ring. With the rest of 911 Inc. watching on, Ciatso was arrogant as can be, hitting suplexes
and slams. Anytime Lee looked like he was going to get control, Ciatso would use some leverage; actually cheating to get control,
namely a crooked referee who slow counted every pin attempt Lee made. Ciatso made a tactical error by going up to the second rope
and he missed a splash. But when Lee went to throw a punch, the referee grabbed his arm and Ciatso kicked him in the gut then hit the
K5 to advance. Ciatso faces Chris Jones in 2nd round.
Niemi and friends tossed Lee out of the ring and demanded the Lifeguards get their asses to the ring to get their
beating.
(2) In Tag Team tournament match, 911 Inc.'s Dark City Fight Club (Jon Davis & Kory Chavis) defeated The Lifeguards (Wade Koverly
& Daron Smythe).
Early on it looked like the DCFC should have been in the locker room instead of ringside as the Lifeguards controlled the action for
several minutes with several tags. That was until Koverly took his focus off Davis to attack Chavis, when he turned around he was nearly
clotheslined out of his swim shorts. This allowed the DCFC to slow the match down and dominate Koverly for several minutes, cutting
the ring in half an infuriating Smythe who kept coming in to aid his partner. Davis got a bit too confident and when he thought he ducked a
kick, Koverly decked him with an enziguri. This allowed Smythe to tag in and take over on the DCFC. Smythe had Davis pinned after a
Blockbuster but Chavis saved him. The Lifeguards had a double team move but they hit it on Chavis and not Davis who was the legal
man. The DCFD tossed Koverly to the floor and Davis hit a shining wizard but Koverly saved his partner. But in the end it was the deadly
Project Mayhem that helped DCFC advance to face British Lions in 2nd round.
(3) In a Heavyweight tournament match, Chasyn "Not Cocky" Rance defeated CJ O'Doyle.
It was weird seeing Rance come to the ring without any support from the YRR or members of the Team Vision Dojo. Not like it mattered
as he went right to work on O’Doyle with armbars and wristlocks which O’Doyle returned in kind. O’Doyle changed his attack
with a dropkick that sent Rance to the floor complaining that O’Doyle wasn’t allowed to do that, actually headed towards the
locker room before changing his mind. O’Doyle used his size to power Rance around the ring with side headlock takeovers as
Rance tried to counter out. Rance got to his feet only to be hit with a shoulder block to the floor. Rance headed to the locker room again
but this time it was O’Doyle who stopped him from exiting ringside. He dragged Rance back to the ring and hit a bodyblock for a two
count before locking in an armbar. Rance got to his feet but O’Doyle hit several kneelifts which took the action to a corner. The referee
called for a break and O’Doyle complied but Rance hit a cheap shot to the face and a neckbreaker which slowed O’Doyle down
big time. Rance used several moves to keep O’Doyle on the canvas as the fans chanted on O’Doyle. Rance kept O’Doyle
down with a front facelock but O’Doyle got to his feet and tossed Rance to a corner followed by several clotheslines and a fallaway
slam for two. Rance countered out of a chokeslam and a power bomb, sliding off O’Doyle’s shoulders. He scored a pinfall with a
handful of tights advancing to face Sideshow in 2nd round.
(4) In a Heavyweight tournament match, "Classic" Scott Davis defeated "Mr. 630" Jerrelle Clark.
Clark came out hot, hitting Davis with several high flying moves and a head scissor sent Davis to the floor. Clark went to follow with a
springboard plancha but Davis tripped him up, sending Clark crashing into the ring apron. When the action came back to the ring, Davis
went to the rulebreaking with illegal shots to the throat, only to have his knee taken out by Clark. Clark went to the mat with submission
holds taking Davis’ knee apart. Anytime Davis got close to the ropes, Clark would wrench on the knee and drag Davis back to the
center of the ring. Davis got to the ropes on an exchange and slid to the floor. Clark went to grab him but Davis tripped him up and
slammed his left knee onto the apron. Davis took over with leg submission holds of his own, with some help from the ropes. But Davis
went for a kneedrop on the ropes and jammed his knee on the mat when Clark moved. Davis fought back with a suplex and went up for
an elbow which only met canvas. Clark quickly went for the cover but Davis kicked out. Clark went back to work on the left knee with a
modified Dragon Screw before locking in a figure four. Davis screamed in pain but refused to tap out, instead reversing the hold causing
Clark to grab the ropes to break the hold. Davis got to his feet first hitting Clark with a running elbow for two. Davis tossed Clark to the
floor wanting a countout victory but Clark beat the referee’s count, going for a sunset flip but Davis blocked it and locked in the Texas
Cloverleaf. Clark refused to submit and actually made it to the ropes. But his running knee to the corner met the buckle and Davis hit a
knee clip and locking in another submission hold which made Clark submit. Davis wasn’t done as he went to the floor grabbing a
chair. But before Davis did any damage, Jaison Moore hit the ring, ducking a chair shot that ended up hitting Davis thanks to his own
momentum. Davis was dropkicked to the floor and Moore said he would finish off Davis on February 14th in the second round.
(5) In a Tag Team tournament match, The Heartbreak Express ("Superstar" Sean & "Fabulous" Phil Davis w/ "the Princess of
Wrestling" Amy Vitale, Vic Slowhand, Raymond Snow & Lou the Fixer) defeated The Loggers (Lumberjack Manley & The Mighty
Dagon).
Needless to say the Loggers were vastly outnumbered in this one despite bringing a cooler of beer and a chainsaw. The HBX jumped
the Loggers at the bell but it backfired on them as they chopped down the HBX and getting control of the match. That was until Manley
went to the ropes and Phil Davis dropped the top rope enough to send Manley over it. As Dagon argued with the referee, the Vitale led
faction took turns beating on Manley. Phil Davis locked in the Von Erich Iron Claw sending Manley to the mat but not to defeat as Dagon
got his partner motivated to reverse the hold, getting it on both members of the HBX. But Sean Davis hit a splash that nearly caved in
Manley’s chest. The outside interference continued despite Dagon begging with the referee to turn around and witness it. Manley
fought off a Sean Davis nerve hold and after a mid-ring collision, he tagged in an extremely well rested Dagon who hit everything in the
ring and ringside with bodyshots. The Loggers even attacked Lou and Snow on the floor with bodyblocks. But the numbers game was
too much even as Dagon hit Phil Davis with a full nelson slam. Vitale grabbed Dagon’s ankle but Dagon dragged her into the ring for
a spanking. As the referee put Vitale out of the ring, the HBX took out Dagon to advance and face Bumz R' Us in Semi-Finals.
Shannon Rose came to the ring to host an interview with Sedrick Strong who had a heated argument with Sideshow at the conclusion of
last month’s event. Mr. Rose addressed the recent past between Strong, Sideshow and his sister Danielle. Rose told Strong the
person who hit him with the chair at the end of the match was not Sideshow, but 911 Inc.’s Rod Steel. When asked what did Strong
think after seeing the footage, he said he was wrong and the fans were right about who hit him with the chair. Strong said he was a
bigger person for admitting his mistake and apologized Sideshow. Rose asked Sideshow to come to ringside but instead out came CJ
O’Doyle who was talking on his cell phone. Apparently O’Doyle was talking to Sideshow. O’Doyle said Sideshow had
nothing to say to Strong. Strong said Sideshow would have something to say to his face on February 14th.
(6) In a Heavyweight tournament match, "the Marquee" Bruce Santee defeated "Messiah of the Backbreaker" Roderick Strong.
These two have faced each other for years in training session and high profile championship bouts. Early on Santee tried to mat wrestle
with Strong only to see Strong counter out to a neutral corner. Strong went after Santee’s left wrist only to be countered to another
stand off. Strong went to the floor to regroup after Santee took him down with another waistlock. Santee went back to the waistlock but
Strong countered into a leg submission. The action ended again when the two men got too close to the ropes and Strong went to the
floor again. Santee used his power to take Strong down with a shoulder tackle and followed with kicks to the chest. The chest chopping
began and neither man fared better after it. Strong backed Santee to a corner but got reversed and leveled with a clothesline and a
standing suplex for two. Santee went for another corner clothesline but Strong countered with a dropkick for two. Strong locked in a mat
based waistlock but let the hold go when Santee refused to tap. Strong went for a fireman’s carry but Santee blocked it and sent
Strong to the canvas, only to be dragged to the floor where Strong drove Santee’s back into the ring post followed by several chest
chops. Strong kept the pressure on with more chop to the chest and back. Strong tossed Santee into the ring for a submission hold but
Santee refused to quit. Santee went for a clothesline but Strong kicked him in the arm and got a two count. Santee and Strong kept a
frantic pace going getting several near falls. Strong went for a lariat but got hit with one from Santee for two. Strong fought back hitting a
superplex for two. Strong hit a fireman’s carry into a gutbuster followed by a running boot for two which irritated Strong. Strong’s
Tiger Driver was countered into a pin that was countered several times. Strong thought he blocked it but he ended being hit with the Big
Dump which sent Santee into the second round to face "Bad Seed" Shawn Osborne of 911 Inc.
